What to do with this TV175 engine?

^... lol... next Spring.

I'm laughing as I'm in the same scenario re: the 150cc Jap reed converted motor that I put together a couple of months back. I then found that the intended frame needed work, which has very much put this on the back burner.

Funnily enough, it's the first time that I've used a 48 rear sprocket too, which I picked up from a pal.

Cheers for now.

PS - The reed 150cc is a change for me as I tend to always go bigger but just fancied using up some of my parts that were lying about. Like the V*spa T5, it occurred to me that size doesn't always matter.... does it?

Sorry to go off topic a bit but have you posted any info on you jap reed 150 anywhere Adam ?

No, nothing yet as I want to test it first. The proof of the pudding... etc.

I have documented the build so can share it in the future but want to put the theory to the test... before spouting off (lol).

Thanks but thats not very 2025 is it - I think the modern way is you draw something , make some, sell loads and we can all see if it works after ?

But seriously - watching with interest

Hello,
You’re going to wonder where this character has emerged from, I’ve only just returned to scootering after many and become a member of LCGB.
What did happen to this engine???
Just bought a TV175, few bits that need attention but nothing major. However, the only thing that is bothering me is that I obviously took my eye off the ball when buying, looking closer I think there has been an engine change, and an older engine, possibly a series 2..
I now have this thing in my head that I need to bring it back and find an engine series 3 closer to the chassis number, is this really necessary.
Am I being silly and worrying unnecessarily, it runs like a dream, I really hope I am.

It’s still on the bench. I’m in no rush.
