I’ve finally found the time to assemble the Gila + Polini cases engine and with a little bit of this…
this case should be sealed up tight!
I wanted to use the Polini spring that came with the cases but I’m sans the hardware to mount to the case. I cut up an old 103 engine mount and created a mount myself. It ended up looking pretty good but I have no idea if it’s putting this mount in the correct location. I’ll have to see when I get out to the garage…I’m guessing it’s a tad off…hmm
I’ve never used a launch level but it sounds like fun and it comes with the case so what the hell!
Next up add my trusty Multivar and the old 2 coil points. I’ve heard horror stories about these points but I’ve never had a problem (other than some flywheel slipping) so I’m going to run these until they self-destruct. 
I have to get better lighting in my work space. These pics are a bit dark…sorry about that
At the garage it quickly became apparent that the Polini spring is not going to work (crap) I was so ticked off that I forgot to take a pic of the mess…I need to look at some cases to see how the spring fitting/exhaust mount fits/looks so I can copy a set. Until then then the launch lever is coming off and the old Doppler spring is going back on…I have another lever somewhere that might work…I just need to remember where I put it…
I can wait on the launch lever so I decided to button this project up!
Gave the moped a push an it started right up. It’s still a bit rich (95 jet) but its still pretty cold here in NYC so I’ll leave it alone until April.
Bring it Spring! I’m ready!!!
Great job using the old mount for the spring perch. I love those cases with the built-in swing mount. Have you tried the multivar before? I need to get away from my stock variato and its make- shift performance mods. The story of the crushed baffel, funny shit.
Thanks. I wish the perch lined up better…I just need to look at one in person.
The Multivar is great! I’ve played with all of them Variotop, Multivar, ER3, Polini and now TJT on my hobbit. I think the Multivar is great right out of the box, I just needed to get lighter weights for it to really get into the pipe before variating. The ER3 is nice too but make sure you locktite the weights on…My friend Larry had a bolt come wizzing off @ 10k into his pinky finger…ouch!
Cheers, Rick
Nice! have an question for you….do your original 2 coil flywheel have 4 metalfabs/magnetparts inside?? im looking to fix an 103, and my flywheel is missing….. suppose these are different when it have the “star” stator.
Regards
I actually gave my old system to a friend.
I’d recommend just getting the Mody CDI from treats https://www.treatland.tv/motobecane-CDI-p/motobecane-cdi-ignition.htm
Its not that expensive and you only have to cut the 2 tabs on the edge of the stator plate and grind down your magneto nut a bit. Its a really easy mod and you end up with a 12volt system once you are done. 🙂
