T80 - Romania
Marius Tue 24 Aug - 9:54
Hello all,
Last year I got myself a shiny new to me TownMate T80 - an import from Greece. It was restored, but it looked nice, and there are no choices here in Romania so I jumped.
Had a smokey engine and will not go over 35 mph.
This year, I went to Greece in vacation and got myself a new
- 47mm piston with rings and pin,
- new cylinder and gaskets
- new OE valve seals.
Engine was rebuild as best I know, now it runs nice and does not smoke anymore, but it still not going onver 38-40 mph. I reworked the carb as it was running rich. Judging by the color of the spark plug it's running nice now, but other ideas I don't have. If I go downhill I can get 45 and engine seems to not be over revving....
Any ideas

Top speed of T80 is only 45 mph with cruising speed 40 mph. So looks like its performing about right, may be better as new piston beds in.
