no funds

underemployment, no monies for a big boy carb rite now. im gonna make the Cobromos build a mild mannered one til i can discover a way to make money grow on trees. For now gotta make due with the little guy 14SHA.

had these two pedal reeds laying around from a previous project. pretty good reeds

busted out the Dremel today. had to remove a lot of material from the manifold so it could flow smoothly

 smoothed out the transitions a bit.  square peg in a round hole kinda thing, ya know? nothing impressive. Still got to finish her up a bit

Awww well. im tired. thats it for now. Tomorrow, some cylinder work

myrons mopeds

Shaun's vegetable garden. since he hasn't been hosting Myrons Mopeds monthly rides anymore, he's been busy being calm

other updates. Bryan and I cleaned out his crunchy a55 yesterday. damn metal chunks in the bottom end are scary. Did a pretty good job of gettin all the metal out.  his bike is getting a Malossi 4 petal alukit treatment. Put in some secret tomos clutch tech.  manifold is sweet. should be rippin sooooon!

tires, tubes and wheels. Cobra Madness!

putting the Pirelli's on the new 5 stars. 2.5 with a nice soft rubber. easy mounting

Tomo 16's stripped down and cleaned up

sprocketed, painted, repacked bearings, tires and tubes

almost done! mounting the rear wheel. finally! took me all day to do both sets. As these are tomos wheels trying to mount to Puch stuff.  Most of the time was spent trying to find the correct spacing in between the forks and swingarm.  They roll smoooooth smooth

Cobra! new toptank madness

On a side note, I fucked up my paint on the top side of the gas tank when the bike was flipped over like that. It also leaked tranny fluid everywhere. Test ride tomorrow! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sachs 505/D build. David's G3 motor lives on

Naked Sachs. somethings missing. cant wait to get it back on the road

Dave's G3 motor. Sachs 505/D motor goin on my Balboa. I was hitting 35-38mph on my 505/C. Should at least hit 40 maybe a bit more with the D. mild case and port matching

I just installed the  front 12 tooth sprocket which i truly believe is amongst the only handful that was available  times long lost. I got it at Mopeddwarehouse. go figure

I dremeled the intake to match the port of the cylinder. it was pretty off center. Luckily, the intake was the cool 14.5mm one. only came on the C and D's.

 Sachs Clutch what a pain. ive read on MA somewhere if ya put another plate and clutch plate in there (3 in total) it'll give ya better super slippery engagement

all i need is a headlight, gasoline and tranny fluid. then road bound!

stuff

Knucklehead B sealing up e-50. his metra80 is a monstrosity. recently broke two bones in his right hand. no more riding for at least a month. bummer

Box o' carbs. some good some not. some undersized, some overpriced

 

Oko's suck i guess. B never got one working properly. his oko's didn't like to keep the float bowl full. kept on running dry. hmmm curious...

Myrons Mopedssss. Haven't seen shaun in a while. Really organized his shop since last. I gawked a bit, talked moped theory.  Nineteen Fifty Something Montgomery Ward Riverside A3 transplant. sweet

 

well ive figured that

#1 I need a real camera

#2 I still want that Cobra from Eric

#3 gotta figure a way to come up with some extra scratch for said cobra

#4 my moms still wants to ride my Sachs. I dont really wanna tell her that mopeds stink and are all greasy and oily. Also that mopeds are kinda dangerous. My momma tells me that she had a Motobecane back in Vietnam before the war. so cool. i guess its a nostalgic childhood thing

#5 Permatex Grey Ultra Rigiiiidddddd!

thats it. haven't really figured much else

two-stroke tuesdays. 3 year anniversary

happy anniversary latebirdies! Four years as a gang, and three years of two-stroke tuesdays. There was a pretty good showing. Pizza and beer. yum

sorry for the crappy pics. until i get a real camera, its all foggy blurriness

Garage Space!

not enough space for tools and bikes. let alone a car and working space. ARRRRGGGG!

Siftables

I got this frame from Matt D for $free.99! I was looking for a different kinda build and he hooked it up with a Motobecane.  When he said it had rust, that was seriously a huge understatement. Unbelievable case of the crazy crusty rustys. The rust has eaten up the whole stress point. the thing would be scary to ride, regardless if i patched it up.  I think Im just gonna hang it up in the garage somewhere as a wall piece.

oh well for that. Puch Maxi is next in the lineup for fixins
