Yammy moped tuning minarelli
-
Think thats how its spelt just wondering of any one here has experience on these little 50s ive got my daughter a 97 BWS and hopefully found a clean engine for it as hers aint right so will slowly be rebuilding it if funds allow.
Seen there is a wealth of information on the youtube n stuff just thought it might be an idea to ask on here so can take it slow as im getting old now and prefer interacting this way tbh.
Also wondering if any one knows of forks that will fit as the bikes look similar and hers have pitted so need some new ones and aint much on ebay worth taking a gamble on. Got a nice pair for my old Typhoon 125 a few years back so wondering if any decent cheap aftermarkets might be a direct fit instead of rusty second hand stock ones.
Anyways look forward to any help i'll probly ask more random questions here if I need more advice and give any advice I can where needed as there is a treasure of it somewhere in my brain that will hopefully reactivate if pushed

Just for reference ive currently got a 17.5 carb on hers with a Yasuni exhaust standard cvt that needs replacing badly carb was running a 98 on standard air box that had bad seals so took it down to the smallest i had a 75 but think thats still to much.
I want to start at the crank so any thoughts on best crank and bearings to start her off with then onto the best overrange kit that aint stupidly expensive hoping to do it as cheap as possible as got a TZR NSR and DTR so bring back to life and havent really dabbled in moped engines in over 20 years.
I took the jetting advice from here https://www.pedparts.co.uk/blog/introduction-to-moped-jetting as I think its the same motor i'll get some pictures soon as just seen the exhaust may have two restriction inside aswell
Was looking at this kit https://euroscooterparts.co.uk/naraku-sport-transmission-kit-for-minarelli-long-type-50cc.html but cant find it in stock anywhere and was also hoping to find a kit like it with a full clutch too as her torque driver is all lumpy and worn out so would need that a new clutch and bell housing. So if anyone knows of such kit for under £150 that would really make my month I don't want the bike stupidly fast as its my daughters first bike and she doesnt have any experience yet so hopefully once shes used to the new stock engine this upgraded old one will be perfect to slap in there give her that extra hill speed etc.

Jesus, no that's a blast from the past though.
My brother had a Piaggio NRG LC 50 and that was a rapid little scoot.
Big scene over in Thailand for scooters though. My Dad is rekindling his youth tinkering with Vespa's and Lambrettas and the scene for those bikes is just ballistic. Scooters that make 600s look silly.

Yeh seen alot of MBK and Aerox builds that are insane them mopboyz on youtube seem to like all the stage 6 kit and do a nice overrange kit but have to cut out the casings to fit. wish I had the funds to do it all top spec but it would be well to fast and a wheelie machine haha one way to teach her to tame a bike I suppose shame aint no land to razz round on like the 80s. Did look up a lot of Vespa stuff only been on one once and always wanted one did see that theres a place now fitting electric kits to them and selling for silly money might be fun for a while but nothing beats petrol for me even if it does 0-60 in half a second lol.
Did look at the LC kits might go for one in the future carb already has the fittings and not sure what barrel n piston to try just want it to run right now as the Mrs takes her on the back to private land to practice and the silly thing only does 10mph up hill no matter what the weight load is.
Still can't think what forks I put on the Typhoon that was a fun bike used to nuke Scoobies off the line up till 60 and topped out around 85 just hope theres similar forks I can put on this Yammy as i'm sure they all probly share same parts either that or JB weld the pitting just another job I cba with right now and seals are still okish.
Hope the old man has fun with his Scoots have a great weekend bro i'll update here soon as I get that new motor.

No pics yet been busy though got a new motor for it managed to get it all in and running but got a strange problem ive put an orig air box on it and it wont idle I have to turn the air screw all the way in otherwise it takes a little time to down rev but then if I turn the screw to the 1 5/8s its supposed to be at or any where from seated its bogs out when you rev and has erratic idle takes ages to settle and cant decide what it wants to do even with 4 or 5 screws of the idle screw in out out it doesnt make much difference to idle speed.
So I am a bit stumped other than changing the coil pack and cdi as it went through plugs before and is now still doing something similar was fine on an 8 then it decided it didnt like that plug stalled and refused to start then did the same with another 8 I found a 7 and it starts and goes like stink when riding did 30mph up my steep hill testing it but its got that idle prob.
So i'm going to get some new plugs try and get funds for a coil and cdi maybe a new regulator as the voltage its a lil strange charges about 13.3 on idle to start off then after a few mins only sits at around 12.5 unless you rev crap out of it it will then go to 14.4
All fun and games any ideas welcome for me to test next time I get out to it would be appreciated. Trying to be careful and cycle it with the new piston so it beds in ok already got a strange rattle not sure if its just a bad bore settling in or a loose bit of old piston ring dancing around the crank but its whats going on with me and this lil ped for now thought ide send a quick update n ask a few questions from you seasoned vets.
