Yes, if you remember I made some not so minor mods to a Piaggio exhaust back on page 9 of this thread. 190Mech helped me with the large center section I spliced in, I may try to resurrect that pipe. I dont know, I have more time than $$ so I may get around to building a new pipe at some point, but I will likely just rig something up as usual.LOL This is the pipe I am talking about.  Wow nice pipe! Nice job John! Totally forgot about that post🙈 |

TPR 86cc Motor Build:
I got the gearbox assembled and put the wheel on. I went to install the motor in the scoot and found that since I made the cases wider by using a spacer between the case halves there was almost a 1/4" of side to side play. I fixed that by pushing the mount bushings on each side of the motor closer together.
I also tried installing a new shock I had picked up that I thought was for the ZX. It turned out to be about 1 1/4" longer than the OEM Kymco ZX shock and seemed to be softer than the OEM shock. I took it back off and installed the used OEM Kymco ZX shock I had.
I still have the carb to set up, the CVT to assemble and I will have to repipe the cooling system to fit this motor.
Of course the exhaust will also have to be done.

TPR 86cc Motor Build: Worked on it most of the day, did a couple things I was not planning to do right now but one thing led to another. I needed to replace the fuel lines and decided it would be a good time to delete the vacuum petcock. Then I spent an hour looking at fittings for the tank. The tank had what I believe to be 16mm male threads on the nipple. 90° fittings to go from 16mm male to 5/16" barb were over $20 each. I figured out I could cut 1/8 pipe threads internal to the nipple. The fitting I ordered is 90° 1/8Pt to 8mm OD barb, the fitting was about $8 for 2 of them. I got the cooling lines replumbed and I thought I had it all good until I took a picture and saw the water inlet hose to the cylinder is directly in the path the exhaust needs to take. The cylinder water inlet fitting is aluminum and needs to be converted to a 90° somehow. It needs to be close to the cylinder so there is room for the exhaust. I was thinking I could cut external threads on it, maybe. The fitting diameter is 17.2mm, if anyone has an idea..... I drilled and tapped a mounting hole for the coil, I like it where it is, nice and short lead to the spark plug.     |

TPR 86cc Motor Build: It took most of the day but I got a test pipe fitted. I was checking all of the pipes I had to see if any fit and found the Phongeer short would fit with some work at the flange. I never plan to use that pipe anyway so I chopped it up to make it fit. It was a high revving pipe and the ID at the flange was about 29mm so it may work out good at least for now. Flange cut from pipe and replaced with a 25mm ID flange from a Yasuni C16  Fitup of C16 flange  Welded up with the TIG   |
