I have a Novio 1978, the 49cc piston has worn badly loss of power after 24,567 miles. I want to swap a big 70cc piston, the company who sell is India man from Birmingham I am not sure if he really know what he is talking about. He said to me that the Honda Camino, Hobbit and PA50 are different cylinder head and piston also different exhaust inlet as my Novio?

I am confused I thought all Honda 50 engine are exactly same am I right?

You're absolutely right, they're all the same.

For 49cc engines, the manufacturers have adopted the one size fits all philosophy. get any size piston you like and it'll fit.

I'm sure someone wiser than me will be along to give you all the part numbers.

There are two part numbers for the PF50 Novio piston. The standard one is part no. 13101-081-000 and there is a 0.5mm oversize piston with the part no. 13103-081-505. Hope this helps.

That's true, but our poster wants to swap it for a 70cc piston, I think it's just a case of soaking in petrol before fitting isn't it? Can't say I've managed to get a 70 into a 50 hole before, but I'm pretty sure it'd doable. These new alloys are pretty flexible Laughing

Actually, I wonder what the chances of getting a 70cc piston and head, to fully line up with all the other parts, I seriously doubt they'll fit, but you never know till you try...and have the bits in your hand to compare/measure.

The 70cc engines usually had a 47mm bore with a 41.4mm stroke, the 50cc engine had a 39mm bore with a 41.4mm stroke. It may be possible to fit the barrel from a 70cc onto the 50cc crank case.

Barrel and piston swaps are almost trivial work... if you have the correct parts!

I was aware yesterday when I saw the details of size, I have found a good factory www.racing-planet.co.uk it is the best place because I have been spoke to the man he is very helpful and is not far away from my home so I can take my engine to them try out to make sure it fits.

So thank you all for the helpful tips.

Have a good day! Very Happy

So what do you hope to achieve?

For it to go faster? bigger pistons normally rev slower, and the gearing has stayed the same so not really.
Faster acceleration? Probably not either, the carburettor is matched/jetted to the 50cc, so won't give max power from the 70cc piston volume.
So apart from the head/piston upgrade you'd need to upgrade the carburettor, and either front or rear sprockets...just saying.

If you do it, please be sure to post the results.

It would probably be quicker and easier to just change the entire engine.

I have owned this Honda for 12 years used in spring to autumn. It was my dad scooter I could not see him throw it away so I bought from him. I weight 15 stones the bike only barley reach 21mph on flat but up the hill down to 12mph! now the bike unable to reach 21mph easily. I have found the piston ring lose compression means lose power! the mile is 24,000 miles. What I want to achieve? I want to reach 30-35mph is good enough, my aim is fit performance exhaust, carb upgrade large port what I saw online and change to 70cc from 49cc. I am expect to get 6bhp roughly what the specialist suggest. I don't think I can have CDI box the bike is too old.

When I read your first post, I thought you were a troll, and spamming for amusement or whatever. My reply was flippant, and I now apologise. After your second post, you cast doubt over my initial judgment (& who the fuck are you to judge I hear you all ask, well get over it, you all do it), as the post had a smidgen of sincerity. I have moderated my posts to reflect your sincerity with the project, but that doesn't mean I won't take the proverbial in the future...when/if the opportunity arises.

Then you are on the right path..but as

wrote...on a different engine the throttle cable nipple, exhaust connections and mounting brackets may also differ....so you've got a little work to do either way.

Is 24K mile a lot for a moped, if so then there's a possibility the internals will be worn too, the replacement engine could be looking like a plus.

Update:
Ah.... finding a 70cc replacement engine with pedals will be impossible, they don't make one. Pedals are a moped legal requirement I believe, as is being 50cc. You could just replace the piston with an oversized one after a rebore. That would keep it legal for insurance and restore some of the lost power. Have you actually measured the compression?

The definition of "moped" in the UK is just 50cc, limited power and speed, dunno about other countries, no one cares about pedals any more. However, fitting a non-pedal engine would mean adding foot pegs... among other things.

Anyhoo, a noble task to keep it going for the memories Thumbs Up If you feel the bottom end is up to the task then crack on. You might not need to go as far as a new carb for a bump to 70cc, a larger jet may be sufficient.

If I may suggest that any airbox and exhaust changes are at least in keeping with the period Smile
