btw parts have arrived. ( he paid for ) anyhoo arranging time to meet. trying for 430pm after church sunday. quite possible, id have a running ped Wednesday?

P.S. Cods my friend, the pigtails are still part of the design. also have the striped griptape left. so may put that into it as well.

meeting guy at fountain city duck pond. and exchanging gopeds. he lives in an area I prefer not to go to. and since worship service ends at four its perfect. I go to the temple at 11, get out at 4, meet up at 430 and go home and begin assembly. if all goes well, I might be able to test fire the replacement engine tomorrow night. and cods, planning on using the pigtails on this oen. its perfectly set up for it.

Nice! Goodluck, keep us posted for sure!

I traded one of my broken garelli's for a running tomos tonight. I may regret it in the morning, but I'm 1 ped closer to having zero broken vehicles by winter

the minipig is here. ive forgotten the size difference on gopeds. sports are tINY. 23lbs wet.  and violent if et up right. it has a new .800 black magic spindle. a 23lh engine complete sans starter. has a blockoff plate on it.  other engine was a 23lh hybrid. aka a 29 top  end on a 23 lower. that one will be rebuilt to that spec. will have 2 engines.  will bring it inside tonight and put up on kitchen bar counter and shoot photos of it.  has anice mag wheel up front. and ive 2 more mach 12. wheels too. tires, are usable as is now. a new tire supposed to be part of deal. a gasket kit as well. saving that for thehybrid. picking up rest of parts after temple meeting next sunday. 

Editing pics. I cant get into gs500 yet to upload, so have to size down pics to be able toupload here. pics are HUGE in size, so 20 minutes and will have the grand daddy of updates.

Lookie what I saw when I arrived at the ward today:

and finally
I lack maybe 50 to 60 to finish this to near solid perfection. should be rideable wed. but the 850 spindle will be sluggish, but fast. sluggish off the start. but will be dialed in safely once I can get my hands on a pipe. ( x can or an expansion chamber. )  that's why ive got my galaxy up for sale. ( same phone which took these pics. )

Looks like you got a nice stack of parts for the build! Best of luck on the assembly

got the new engine ( new to me anyhoo) installed. seller was right. compression is good. I think. anyhoo the spindle did not want to part company with the hybrid. well some percussive persuasion, with a  cat claw ( a pry bar used in roofing)  and my snapon dead blow hammer. popped the spindle off. it is now on the 23lh engine. im back to a Zenoah. YAY. Yeah im turning Japanese, yeah im turning japanes  yeah I think so.... ( or I think that's how song went. ) my Kimball piano loaned me its bench for an assembly stand. leg was bad today, so I was inside after work. performing the work on the minipig. heres the next set of pics.

and more. but alas I am at an impasse. guy rigged it before. using non grade 8 bolts/screws for engine mounts. I wont do htat. ive learned the hard way why one should NOT do that. so I have to order or purchase these parts.
insulator manifold. ( carb /intake manifold) @ 4.25
http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/it.A/id.826/.f
muffler bolts @ 80 cents
http://www.davesmotors.com/fd203
and the mounting bolts.
http://www.davesmotors.com/av009b
as well as a kickstand at some point.

Anyone looking for a nice cell phone ( smartphone a  Samsung galaxy s2. records video @ 1080p and plays back at same. make offer I need to move that so I can finish this minipig. I can see the finish line literally. bolt up exhaust, bolt up carb, and put proper mounting bolts in place. and imdone.  the kickstand makes cold starts easier. . its not required but would make starts easier by far.

Barring problems parts  should be ordered tomorrow. and should be here, mid to late following  week

Spent lunch money on goped parts. No worries. Ill eat balogna sammiches for a few days. As fast as ddm ships, should be on road mid to late next week. Will update next week. Didnt order a pull start. Not enough cash. But being direct drive dont need it.

improivised somewhgat using what I had did what I could so far. nothing else to do until parts arrive. will have to get my hands on a pullstart at some point. cause the initial setup will be a  gripe.  but meh no worries lol. has a blockoff plate to save weight and allows for higher revs.  the 3rd bearing support is in great shape.  so far the piglet is looking good. as a mom would say to her child. I say to that engine I had in palm of my hand, ( engine is TINY compared to my pigs engine.) Awwwweeee, its so Cuuuuuteeeeeeeeee lol

I really want this. it would allow the use of my .850 to its best. plus allows for future engine size upgrades. but have to save cash sadly mayve 2 weeks.  so ill have to use the stock one. it will run like Shiite at low revs. but hey it will run lol.
this is the one I want. instead of an expansion chamber. mainly because of the near stock look. but changing the stinger here, allows for pipe tuning:
hey its almost Christmas lol. but am stoked to have a running ped again. ( once ordered parts arrive. anyhoo enough blabbering Eh?

The minipig has been thoroughly reassembled. going over a few loose ends. then going to try and fire her tomorrow. since it is a direct drive aka no clutch ( using spindle drive) I MUST make sure kill switch works. since I diudnt have funds to get a pull starter, previous owner removed it, and installed a block-off plate ( common) its poush start only. mounted the vstack, tank spacers, tank, engine, the .850 spindle which is too large for this engine. but my only one atm. it will suck balls off the line. but once moving she will fly. engine has great compression. I dry fired it. hard to push thru compression. which is good news. have to trim fuel lines. far too long
      sport lines are 12" long each one. at 80 cents each. I don't like having exact length so 20 cents each more I bought lines for a trail ripper ( 2x 24") so I can custom route lines. updates to follow

no more late shots. if yall want pictures lmk ill get them say 7pm at latest. working on it on my piano bench since I don't have a proper stand lol. but ehh tis okay. got the engine on the piglet. basically ready to fuel and test fire it. but must make sure the kill switch works because ill get thrown if it doesn't.
     it is direct drive via a spindle. since I couldn't afford a pull start and it has a block off plate installed ( saves weight, and covers where  pull start went)  I have to break it in by push starting. til I get my ducks in a row. since the spindle was meant for a larger engine, 29cc or so, will be a slug off the line. BUT will fly if I hold it. the exhaust I need to get will allow for a bit more off the line. but that's filed under whenever I can.  anyhoo this pic, shot 2 hours ago. more pics to come tomorrow. in BETTER light lol.


p.s. from now on, im calling her "piglet" ( the smaller sibling of the battlepig lol)  my sincerest apologies about the grammar. but its late , not feeling well, and too tired to do much with the grammar lol. anyhoo will update more tomorrow after the test fire.

didn't test the piglet yet. didn't have an exhaust gasket. so I didn't want to risk any damage. picking up some gasket material tomorrow. and will; cut one at that point. perhaps test? if enough time.

picked up some copper gasket maker. the goped except for the kill switch is done. may fuel it tomorrow and test it. since its a direct drive. will have to figure out how to kill it. may use my guarded toggle. and mount that by the brake lever. and keep my thumb on it so if it gets away, I just press down killing the spark and stopping the engine.
