Popular Post TimShadboltfan27 Posted December 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2018 so after going on a few outings with the penis pinchers sex club, i decided i had to get back into the 50cc game. Was ideally on the hunt for an A50, or small 100cc 2 banger of similar nature. Then this old thing popped up on facebag. Had @BLIZZO go inspect, and within minutes it was on the back of his ute! i would then spend the next three months pining for my next trip up north to get this thing tidied up and in a rideable state. It wasnt perfect when we got it - was obviously someones beach hack and does not appear to have ever been used on the road. the frame was haggard and boy there were some questionable exhaust leak repairs which including the use of an m8 bolt to plug a hole in the chamber. Blake gave me a list of what it needed and even tore the motor down and inspected. Webike australia had everything i needed; top end, crank seals gasket kit and front cables for about $130 landed. couldnt find the materials for that! next it was a trip to Beryl at Feilding AA office to get a plate for it, classic rego and this thing is now legal for just 64 clams. then just last week when i got back up home, we spent two nights in Blizzs shed making this thing marginally pretty and making it do ring dings. a questionable prep job and some quality spray cans made it look pretty decent again. just dont look toooooo closely. motor came up great after a few coats of that VHT wheel paint stuff. new clutch and brake cable, wang in a new piston and crank seals, replenish 2t and gearbox oil and we let er rip. Started after two kicks. unfortunately the carb is leaking like a sieve, it has been put thru ultrasonic cleaner so is most likely a needle/seat issue. birthday kit on the way. Unfortunately no nangs - we had ran out of time to put on a new chain after two long nights of completely stripping and rebuilding this thing. big props must go to blizz for all the work he smashed out on it. true GC. next will be wanging a chain on, get a none ice cream container front guard for it and then hit the molesworth m99999 i am excited for what interesting adventures lie ahead of me with this dirt scooter. perhaps ill enter the NZ supercross champs. stay tuned 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIZZO Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 thing had no compression when i got it home, thinking it was a stuck ring, had been sitting for a looooong time. someone had done a shit job at replacing crank seal at some stage and pushed it like 15mm more in than it should have been so sorted that. clutch was also rusted together so stripped that and gave it a birthday. Exhaust was so fucking lol, was pretty rusty, there was actually 4, yes 4 bolts wanged into the rust hole, bird pood up and then had JB weld smeared all over them. soot on the bolts indicated that it ran like this, but must have been fucking slow as 60-70% of the header was blocked!! She was incredibly rusty and mucho difficult to weld but i eventually chased my tail enough with it and got it sealed up Bore was in pretty good nick so a quick light hone and new piston and rings got it sorted. seems to run well now, just need to sort that crab. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimShadboltfan27 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 oh yeah stuff has happened! well stone the flamin galahs once again @BLIZZO has been beavering away and banged a chain on, it now moves under its own steam. having taking it for a ride it got to 65km/h without any dramas, playing with the sprockets and i could definitely see the needle creeping further. The fuel leak was actually the fuel tap - new article from ebay sorted that. Ordered new shoes for it too, only the finest cheng shins and vee rubbers for this stallion. feat Blizz's hooves also bought aliexpress rear fender with built in light and Blizzshop customs wanged it on. if only sugar were as sweet as him. unfortunately it has a slight miss at mid throttle and cuts out intermittently, probably ignition related. next mission is to fit the tyres, then try and resolve this gremlin and pest into the sunset. here it is next to its big brother XL250 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimShadboltfan27 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 another day at blizzshop and we banged new tyres on, loooooooooooong whistle they look lush. the vee rubber front tyre appears to have a larger inflated diameter than the cheng shin rear. but hey, will suit me fine. whacked a new spark plug in and seems to have resolved the misfire issue! its so easy when you know how! so all thats left really is to wang a new battery in there, replace headlight bulb and action bronson into the sunset. probs a new pair of grips wouldnt go astray. here it is parked up next to its not so distant cousin CB50 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TimShadboltfan27 Posted May 27, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2019 what a wild weekend just been, PPSC clocked up 550 odd kms doing a return trip from Feilding to Kuripapango, on the Napier side of the Napier-Taihape Road. taking nothing but rural back roads through the beautiful inland north island, including plenty of gravel, suspension bridges and angry wife-beating cockys doing a shit job at moving stock, climbing some 900 metres in altitude along the way. To my pure amazement the MT50 rose to the challenge and sat at WOT doing 9000rpm all day with no dramas at all. considering 24 hours prior to the trip we had welded up a very pesky hole in my exhaust which has been an ongoing debacle. after being unable to weld up the hole due to its swiss cheese/rust construction, Blizzshop managed to tack a piece of steel over it. This thing is incredible. I carry a reasonably solid tare at 90 odd kegs, and this weapon sat comfortably at 65-70km all day and climbed hills at reasonable pace, showing no signs of weakness. There's something to be said about nanging a 50cc 2 stroke at its limit, sustaining minimal traction on a gravel road, one of life's greatest pleasures. It takes a lot of riding to keep it in the power band at all times and time your gear changes perfectly to maintain momentum up hills. Perhaps if i can be fucked i might track down a 17" rear wheel and swap the rear, it looks quite funny with the 19 front and 16 rear. And of course keep blasting gravel roads into the sunset.
