-

-

saw that OT, wasn't very enlightening, anyway the law was 16th december 1971 16 yr ols had to have pedals to ride a 49cc motorbike. ie it became a moped
-
15th december 1971 all 16 year olds had to ride a moped, ie with pedals
-
the gov, now class any 49cc bike as a Moped, bit like your tappets Fs1-e started as F5B
-
found it Up to 14th December 1971, a 16 year old could ride a motor cycle on L-plates up to 250cc solo, or unlimited capacity with a sidecar
-
tried Paul, they only say a moped has pedals pre 1977! nothing pre moped! I thought '73 ish too
-

i was being pedantic, but that's how I am with engines! I always adjust the valve clearances not the tappets -
probably needs the float needles and associated parts

no that's rocker arm adjustment for valves, tappets are these or can be mushroom shaped -
when did the requirement to put pedals on 49cc come into effect in the uk, ie a moped? Googled and got naff all!

all the valves need to do is seal. look for broken valve springs as that helps seal them too. I'd decoke and lapp in the valves, which you need a valve extractor clamp ( or make one from a G clamp,google it) -
never had gaskets go on me, i even make my own. The most important one is the head gasket, sealing in the expansion gasses! you need a torque wrench too, impossible/dangerous to guess tightening forces

tappets? pushrod stuff OG looks like the head needs a decoke, and poss the piston rings are not sealing properly. what you should have done is taken a video before you stripped! you now need to check with your manual how much play is allowed and if the bottom end can be moved up and down at all (that may indicate the knocking sound you can hear) that's all I can profer up to now! -
YAY glad your sort of OK Jim, sorry to hear about your mother mate! just pop in now and again to let us know your ok etc etc.
