I have taken time off to celebrate the holidays. My blog postings haven’t been very frequent. I have though stripped down the whole engine now down to the bearings. I have found some worn parts. The bear selector is very worn, the chain, although tight and tensioned have some broken links. I did have a hard time removing the front sprocket but a good socket impact gun did the job for me.
The flywheel is dirty and it seems as if paint did make in when the scooter was repainted by the former owner. Probably a back yard teenage work.
The scooter is an early TV175 so it seems to have a 4pole 6v electrics, not sure on that fact though. I will probably change to 12v. The budget probably allows an Indian 12v from SIL, probably a rewired one since I want this scoot to run DC so I can equip it with LED lights and cary a air compressed horn from berup.com.
