The 1983 Honda Melody 50cc scoot that I got from Garlon last year has been fun, but not running to well.
Got a 1980 one from a guy i know a couple of weeks back that had all the spare parts i need
The plan is to replace all the bits that need it, get it running well and then complete strip and start on the chav bling.
So far i have pulled the whole front end from the 1980 and boshed it in the 1983.
Steering, suspension and front braking are definitely much better.
Pulled the cylinder from the 1980 and the 1983 and i have the best bits from the 2 sitting in a saucepan of coca-cola cos i cant be arsed going out to get some costic soda.
From what ive heard this will help lift some of the carbon and other gunk.
The piston in the 1983 might get pulled for a decoke, ill make my mind up later.
The oil pump was pulled from the 1980 and stuck in the 1983, so now there is no need for me to make petroil.
I might put some pics up when i start the strip and bling  |
