when you could do with some scoot based info?
I need to know - for definite - if the flywheel side crankcase for a PX125 will fit onto a PX200. I was fairly convinced that they both used the same casting and only the internals were different. I want to be a 100% sure before I buy one I have seen on EBay. My scooters case cracked at the kickstart shaft and I tried getting it ally welded but that only succeeded in warping it so the kickstart now sticks. Not great when I want to sell it when it is finished.
Thanks Loz. Guess I shall just have to keep searching. You wouldn't happen to know of anyone with a PX200 bottom end languishing doing nothing?

Perk! That sounds like an offer. May I keep you in mind WUN? There is also a slight gearbox leak where the weld has been done and smoothed where the two faces are not quite square and it would need SLIGHTLY built back up. Would this be a problem? I didn't mention this as I was just going to get another casing.

"gazzafield" > Nope you cant, stud patterns different im afraid. Not only that, but if IRC you shouldnt use a different casing on one side as they are machine matched. If you look at the gasket facing ie where the cylinder base gasket goes, you'll see 3 numbers, you'll see them again on the other casing half. If you do decide to use a different casing half you then should get the casings matched :-( Donegal Paul Eibar Li186 Series II www.thepilgrimssc.co.uk www.glitterbydesign.co.uk
"Wicked Uncle Nigel" said to gazzafield Yeabutt, if the casings actually warped the gasket faces wont match and depending how badly warped your going to end up with all sorts of other probs surely?
The scoot runs fine apart from the slight oil leak and sticky kickstart. The weld runs from under the "sticky out bit" (Technical terms "R" us) for the kickstart shaft to the mating face. The weld has warped the "sticky out bit" ever so slightly causing the kickstart to stick.
"gazzafield" said to "Donegal Paul" Ahhhhhhhhh, in that case WUN should easily be able to sort that. Donegal Paul Eibar Li186 Series II www.thepilgrimssc.co.uk www.glitterbydesign.co.uk
"Loz H" replied to Donegal Paul Yep I was told *after* i'd bought a side casing for one o' mine :-( Flywheel bearings on vespas rattle within 50 miles usually, fuckers. It's one of those "they all do that, sir" parts. heh, you wanna see some of the stuff inside current Vietnamese Lambretta engines!!
