05 Motofino 49cc to 150cc
 

I am in the process of completing a 150cc swap... all I have left to do is make a seat and a tail light, and find a few more plastics.

I will slowly be updating this thread as my internet connection sucks... lol

Thanks Hank! Welcome to my Thread :clap:

Scootnwinn I could not tell you what happen to the scooter before I got it. What I CAN tell you is that the original 50cc engine that was on it DID catch on fire a couple times when we tried to get it running. That is when I decided I was tired of messing with such a small underpowered pathetic engine! :tup:

Well looks like you got a ways to go you better get to it if you are going to ride tomorrow... ;)

Man i didnt know u still had that old pic i think we gave like 40 bucks for it or something def. a good find and wait till everyone see's the outcome...;)

Here I am grinding the frame down after I welded the mounts for the 150cc in. I also had to rewire my harness because I kinda ruined it by letting it short out. But its all good now :yay:

Kinda Jumping around on this build thread...

I had the 150 running for while and it ran pretty good, til the exhaust fell off one day. So I had to take the head off to retap the holes for the exhaust studs, and when I did that I found out the headgasket had been leaking.

So long story short, now I have a ported and milled head (.070" shaved) , Running no base gasket and also running a hand made manual chain tensioner. I had to basically make my own head pipe because I hhad ported the stock one and it broke on me. So now I am in the process of replacing the broken part with larger tubing :yay::clap::yay:

I had to repaint the scoot because the plastics were broken into two pieces... when this particular year Motofino had a one piece front end. So I had to bond the nose back together to make it solid and do body work on it. Here are some Pics. I still need one more panel for the passanger side.

I forgot to mention...This scoot weighs 120lbs Minus Fuel. So I am hoping to get good gas mileage out of it especially with the torque I have with the high compression :nod:

Hi

Had to mount a new headlight, as the old one blew out and had a non replaceable bulb. This one is BRIGHT at 55w lol
