Ahaa.... I'm not alone then! ;D I machined trough on mine.... The repair weld touched 15mm of the gasket surface and for me it was terribly difficult to get the surface straight again and not gaping. Seems like the metal next to the weld sinks a bit. Wish you luck fella!! Sorry for the interruption keithbatt

NO problem, I'm interested to hear more about what goes into these builds myself. My engine builder has not done one yet.
As you might imagine, not many FALCs running around California.

As you might imagine, not many FALCs running around California. Not many two strokes at all, I should imagine...

They have been legislated into insignificance. The emissions laws are so strict, basically two strokes are outlawed. For about a year, the only new two stroke scooter you could buy in California was an Aprilia SR50Ditech. The only saving grace is that OLD two strokes are grandfathered in and still legal for road use. Luckily for me, there is NO MOT or it's equivalent. I can do whatever I want, and it's just registered as a 100 sport. Noone cares about motor swaps, noise levels, or even safety issues. You folks should hear how loud my 67 Mini Cooper S is!
