Up and Running Towards a Teardown

The Murray is totally rebuilt and running well. In it's former life it was a 20mph slow-poke due to the teenie tiny 8mm restricted intake and 13t front sprocket. With a real 14mm intake and a 16t front sprocket, it now hauls ass at 32mph. An Estoril is en route to give it a little more oomph. Should be a nice, zippy stocker. Salvaged from a junkyard in 1997, this slow as shit, neglected and rusting bike will live a fresh, new life; Rebuilt, resurrected, and stronger than ever before.



Super impressive specs:
Stock e50
Stock unported #3 cylinder w/ stock head (no head gasket)
Stock 14mm intake
Stock 14mm Bing w/ 72 aftermarket jet (no air filter)
Stock pipe
16t x 45t gearing
=
32mph!

BAM!



I also got the Baretta running a wicked bone stock 28mph. But I'm pretty sure the transmission seal is leaking as it runs suuuuuuper smokey. Also the engine sounds like a coffee grinder and requires a total rebuild. I have the parts. I just need to make some time to tear the engine apart. A new seat and matching front tire are on their way as well.
