2012 apollo 70cc

Eldric1 · 07-06-2016, 08:45 PM

Hey all. Picked up an apollo 70 today. Guy said it needed rings, but found half the plate from the choke stuck in the exhaust valve. Nothing looks bent, but I still have low compression. Should I do a total top end, or rering and new head, or another motor?

Or upgrade to a 125cc like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/3113980...&ul_noapp=true

Apollo is up and running. Thing is pretty quick. Hauls my 240 pound butt around.

Horizontal 70 is a common workhorse in developing countries... if U$ seller not suits ur budget, there's alternative http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=14466

What ended up being the repair? I have purchased the Ebay 125cc motors. Super easy swap.

New piston, cylinder, head, valves and carb. Original motor ducked in half choke plate.
