So i do not have pictures yet due to the way i went about install,
BUT! i will attach some pics to here when i replace the entire top end!
so i just bought a 2005 adly panther 50cc two stroke scooter
no less than a month ago, 13000 miles on one top end! when i got it
i removed the stock exhaust and replaced it with a chamber pipe,
i then started the bike, the vibrations caused one of the exhaust port bolts to snap off inside the cylinder head!
so i took the top end off the bike and thankfully the piece of bolt still in the cylinder head had enough
to use needle nose pliers to twist it out WOOT! never had that kind of luck with a broken stud/bolt
SO here comes the bragging rights!
man i look at the piston to align the rings to slide the jug back on and what do i see ?!?
This piston has a HUUUGE crack that goes all the way up the side of the piston, under the rings
and continues to the middle top of the pistons head !!!!
holy balls bat man how is this scooter still running and reaching 45 mph ?!?
How the heck do i still have compression ?!?
here i am, now 14022 miles on one top end, stroking along on a cracked piston
i am 100% astonished that this bike has enough compression to start, run AND reach 45 mph on flats
Despite the poor condition of this scooters plastic's (and the fact i cannot find new plastics anymore)
the 13000 miles, of pure torture (this scooter was a Rental shop scooter in the ghetto here for 12k miles of its life)
i am Truely Happy with this scooter brand, model and build, the 1e40qmb engine it has, is not the everyday cheap version
there are a few things that led me to this assumption,
one great feature this 40qmb has, that i personally have never seen (yet) is a vent hose from the fan shroud (right side)
to the drive belt ''crank case'' area (left side) to assist in the cooling of the drive belt,
most Belt failures occur on long rides where the belt has ample time to over heat, expand and either slip off track, or brake !
i cannot wait to sink some tax return into 80% rebuilding this bike
new exhaust
new 6g rollers
new performance clutch 44mm rather than the stock 40mm
new performance 2k clutch springs
new performance 2k torque spring
new performance kevlar belt
New aluminum 70cm/70cc big bore kit with a high performance squish band head
from scrappy dog scooters
new high performance CDI and ignition coil
and of course
metal grips
new skull hand/held mirrors of ebay
L.E.D lights all around, signals, tail, head lamp
all black paint job
thank's for the read!
and sorry i could not provide pictures ''YET''
HOW EVER i did a google search and found a piston with nearly identical cracks
except mine follows down the side of the piston as well
i will upload for now as pure reference
