Peugeot Speedfight 2 LC Fix up

[Norlig]

Greetings, I have had a thread going on the workshop section, but thought I would make one here as well as I dont think I should post updates there.

I started the Build with a 50CC liquid Cooled Peugeot Speedfight 2.

It was a non runner and it had a melted Temperature sensor. That was what I knew of when I bought it.

I made the mistake of going straight for the Cylinder, and opening it. This made it flood with coolant. yay! , first I thought it had been sitting there for a while, as I saw a crusty gasket, but it came to me in the bed what actually must've happened.

I had it sitting over the night with fuel and oil down there to make sure it was tight:

which it was. No harm done, I hope!


I proceeded to take it apart, documenting most of what I did by taking pictures, which I have learnt in later times that I wish I was more thorough with


I finally came around to taking the Cylinder and Piston out, The piston also had melted :

Bought a new set of both, including gaskets so I was sure it would be allright, might've only needed the Piston, but I wouldn't know how to find one to fit the other anyway.

I spent the following days cleaning the chassis and painting the coats:

First batch of paint was not as advertised, so I returned them and bought at another place, turned out better after that.


Got the First shipment of parts, this included a new battery, back light, cylinder and piston, gaskets and mirrors.

First attempt of putting the cylinder back on went fine, but I forgot to put a temperature valve back into the cylinder head and it had to come loose again, sadly I managed to snap a bolt this time

First thing I did the day after was to buy a torque tool, I did not find a store that had any of new bolts that I needed, so I ordered new ones, still waiting on these, but meanwhile I have them screwed in loosely using 4 of the right bolt below, just to keep it together while I work with it and wait for the new screws.

I also bought some new cooling hoses, as the ones I had were falling apart and was generally bad on the ends.
New ones didnt have the preformed bends, so its not as easy to work with, but I think it will work.
It was a bit hard to figure out where they were supposed to go

but I found out:

I have also started putting the front back together, I am currently still waiting for a new Pump and 4 new Cylinder head Bolts.

This is how it is standing at the moment:

The Exhaust was also really rusty, so I fixed it up. used some liquid to turn the rust to metal and then I painted over that, turned out beautifull if I can say that myself

It's completely back together now, but Idle is bad and Power is almost non-existant

You can get a spray called plasti back or something simaler that will really make a difference with that centre plastic.

Silicone spray like this:
Click me.
Used it on my Speedshite 100 before buying the VTR1000F while letting my arm recover from nerve damage.
