so very sorry for the lake of posts 🙁 i have been super busy with work/life. i should have more time coming soon, so stay tuned!

Yeah yeah! just a new tank for now. . . I will chop the seat and do something dumb there. . .

So I’ve been running the 1977 50cc Peugeot kit that I did a video on a few weeks back and here’s what I’ve found so far.

• The Simonini needed a bit of modification in order to fit properly and use my pedals. No big deal though I’m used to having to modify the majority of pipes out there in order to keep pedals. That’s just mopeds!
• I should be running a block of swiss cheese for my bottom end, because I’ve got an equivalent amount of air leaks at the moment with my setup. My old crank seals both leak, the quiksteel I used to fill in around the transfer ports is leaking. The split in the case halves might possibly be leaking.
• I’ve gotten the kit up to 40mph so far, it pull pretty decent up into the 30s and hits a wall at 40. I feel that it should be much faster and that my air leaks and sloppiness are most likely the culprit.

So at present I have everything torn down and I’m going to try and get it back together leak free. Since I’ve got it apart while I’m at it I’m going to open up the intake some more and modify the skirt on the cylinder and possibly the piston for some better flow on the boost port.

And I did a quick port map while I had things apart too…

1977 Mopeds Peugeot 50cc Racey Kit

During the awesome 20% off sale 1977mopeds and treats had over labor day I picked up a bunch of new toys. The thing I’m most excited about it this Peugeot 50cc Racey kit. I decided I wanted to throw a kit on my pug, I didn’t want to get too crazy and go liquid cooled, clutch pulleys or anything like that. Just going for a cheap fun modest build, something similar to throwing a kstar with a circuit pipe on a Puch e50.

I put up a thread on moped army asking what people thought about it, but I didn’t really hear anything. So I figured I’d throw a little review together with my first impressions.

On 1977′s site they recommend the simonini circuit pipe with this kit which is priced the same as the kit at $99 dollars. Since I only have screw style Peugeot mounted pipes at present I picked one of those up too. Not a whole lot I can say about the pipe until I run it, but the construction seems very solid. There’s no ball joint or swing arm mounts to mess with, it just mounts up like a stock pipe. There was a restrictor right in the top of the header, but it was just held in with a tack weld and was easily removed with a dremel.

Here’s the start of the review I figured I’d do one with my first impressions during assembly then I’ll do another once I get it running.
