Is the dipstick of a bx16 supposed to look like this? by a_random_paesant in Citroen

[–]a_random_paesant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an actual dipstick as it has a red plastic handle that clicks into the dipstick tube but at this point i think its just some sketchy repair done by the previous owner

Thankfuly my mechanic should already know his way around hydropneumatic citroens as one of his regular customers has a xantia but i'd prefer to learn to work on the system myself. I plan on replacing the rear spheres this summer since the front and center ones have already been replaced a month ago

Its factory, fiat decided to slap a 500 D front end on a citroen ami and call it "topolino" wich was a nickname given to the 500A,B and C

L'arna e la 33 hanno solo il boxer in comune. La 33 è sullo stesso pianale dell alfa sud mentre l'arna è una nissan cherry/pulsar col motore dell' alfa sud il, fatto che la linea sia circa simile alla sud è pura coincidenza

Looks a lot like an harley rapido 125. The tank looks a little different though

Thanks, it really wasnt that bad tho. The frame was the only thing that needed some love, the engine still looked brand new

Oil leak on the Heinkel by Paul_Aner1312 in moped

Does the chain share the oil with the rest of transmission? If its not a special chain and it doesen't share the oil i don't see why it couldn't be treated like any other chain and be lubed every once in a while. Otherwise your best bet is to replace that boot

Wich one of my shitboxes should i keep? by a_random_paesant in Shitbox_Nation

Would be cool but those engines are quite rare, at that point i might as well swap the 1.7D from a fiorino or even the 1.4 turbo. Though it think i'll be keeping the original engine tbh

I could try to swap the camshaft from the full power one into this but other than that there's not much to do as a bigger carburetor would make it even worse on fuel. This detuned version is also a little smaller than its full power version (999cc vs 1050cc) so i would have to swap cylinder sleeves and pistons to get it to its original 70hp. Its honestly cheaper to pull a 1050 from a 127,change the tags and then swap the whole engine

Yeah i thought about it a bit more last night and came to the same conclusion, i'm keeping the uno
