nigel smith Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 A couple of pictures of the MT5 moped I restored and fitted a H100a engine to. I bought the moped for £200 as a rusty not runner I spent around £150 on sundries and a few parts and I bought a complete MT5 field bike fitted with the H100 engine for £90. After lots of cleaning painting and polishing (6hrs) per wheel with Autosol and buffing wheel I rebuilt it as standard. I then fitted the H100 engine and had a blast around. I sold this in the summer for a profit which paid for my DT The DT had a few faults. starter motor not working new brushes fitted sprag clutch slipping new springs and rollers fitted speedo not working new pin fitted to the hub Given it a service ready for MOT All this and it still only owes me what the moped cost me RESULT!!!! https://instagram.com/p/_1uXc7xUe6IpNe-L30Re3jR-pLJKt1zPCGn-A0/ https://instagram.com/p/_1uqU5xUfjUI4lKeAWF4AS2GGErYSLEmj8Jjk0/ https://instagram.com/p/BAIgJkfxUSSEQ3pDf0deJ1a4pjhVhTk5CerD2g0/ https://instagram.com/p/BAIgV5txUSpUsuIxTPI65jraZHIJWstWgnGfJA0/ https://instagram.com/p/_1u82AxUQE7jW3pMa00I_CtrWGpBs-pC7yDeI0/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted January 5, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 5, 2016 that MT5 made me chuckle. When I lived in Devon there was a hill called Barton Hill between Berrynarbour and Watermouth, My mate's lad had one and he fell off it as it went that slow up the hill. Mind you another visiting friend had to get off the bus so it could climb it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
