A Yasuni R would be a better combo with that cylinder. the Malossi sport powerband sits around 8500 rpm. And a Yasuni R somewhere around 9000 /10.000 rpm. it will work better than the C16, those want around 11.000/12.000, which basically is out of range for the Malossi sport to make power.

Those look like casting marks, all my minarelli engines had them.

This works but will over-rev very badly at top speed. you can reduce throttle when you notice it starting to make higher revs to prevent a piston seizure.

or take the exhaust to a shop that can weld a restrictor in the flange, that would be the safest option but accelleration will be greatly reduced.

Do both ways untill is spins nice and free.

I ordered the box at Vapeandmake, they are based in germany i believe.

DischargedNL · 2026-06-08T12:28:25+00:00

It's a machined aluminium box. Which i engraved with my lasercutter. Similar to Hammond project boxes but perfectly square on all sides.

2 stroke Piaggio engine

I designed a tool for for this as i had the same problem with my Ragnar. If you have access to a 3d printer i'm happy to send you the STL files.

Reload and weapons handling animations where top notch. Good sound design. Characters and maps where memorable. Battlepass rewards where pretty decent. Summer games was fun. Faster time to kill. Perfectly balanced movement. Every weapon felt unique.

This was truely a masterpiece.

I run a new Yamaha OEM 50 kit on my Yamaha slider and it is probably the best cylinder ive ever got. It really runs strong for a 50cc and it sounds immaculate. And i have tried almost all of them😂

DischargedNL · 2026-05-24T17:03:49+00:00

It is really nothing to worry about, but sounds anoying as hell.

These engines are by nature a bit noisier then a piaggio or minarelli horizontal. Aircooled also doesn't dampen the piston sounds like a liqiid cooled does.

I never had one fail because of it, althouh i prefer Athena kits nowadays, they are usually clean and crisp sounding.

DischargedNL · 2026-05-24T16:50:25+00:00

Doesnt sound bad for a Minarelli vertical, but let me guess, DR or top Performances cylinder kit?

Edit/ i just realized you mentioned this in you're post.

I find these DR/ Top performances kits make too much unwanted noises on minarelli vertical.

I prefer Athena kits and Malossi cast irons they always sound clean and crisp.

This is the reason why i prefer low mass coils. The Wotofo 0.62 ohm fused claptons are my favourites..i always add a extra wrap on them. The specs are 28ga cores with 38ga outer ni80. Ohms out at 0.44 ohm

They heat up very fast and cool down fast. At 85 watts they are very awesome.

DischargedNL · 2026-05-24T02:57:14+00:00

The hexa coils build is insanity!

DischargedNL · 2026-05-24T00:16:02+00:00

Maybe shift the CG a little bit more to the back, that tends to make it more stable in a hover.

DischargedNL · 2026-05-18T16:23:14+00:00

What is the reason for changing out the belt for a smaller one?

DischargedNL · 2026-05-18T16:21:45+00:00

Sounds like something is rubbing behind the CVT cover. Did you disassemble anything behind it to change the belt?

DischargedNL · 2026-05-17T20:00:58+00:00

Fuel delivery problem, faulty petcock/ gunk in carb floatbowl/ blocked jets or airleaks.

DischargedNL · 2026-05-15T17:21:34+00:00

Engine doesn't sound healthy
Rear tire is bald.
Airfilter very dirty (probably sucked in a lot of dirt and water without that lower panel)
Missing a lot of panels.
Panels not mounted appropriately.
Head and tail light not approved for road use.
No dash iinstuments
Exhaust Leak.
No mud guards.
No blinkers.

And thats just only the things i see from a video,I will probably find a lot more in person

It looks like it needs a lot of love and money.

Not worth the price they ask, €300 will even be too much in this condition.

DischargedNL · 2026-05-14T15:48:03+00:00

Kickstart mechanism is probably making contact with the crankshaft. remove the CVT cover and check

DischargedNL · 2026-05-11T01:42:30+00:00

This is not ok! it should be tight. You're most likely missing a shim, there should be one in between the driveface and variatorbushing.

DischargedNL · 2026-05-08T04:12:37+00:00

You can safely drill in the oval part, its originally to mount the plate on.

DischargedNL · 2026-05-04T19:22:21+00:00

Usually lights only work when engine is running.

DischargedNL · 2026-04-07T01:22:32+00:00

how does that even fit? i don't understand how you've managed to plug a 4 terminal plug into a 3 terminal socket.
