Welcome to the 2 speed club. What type of clutch setup did you run??? Stock or lightened?? Heavy springs??? Oh ya..... you may lose your post from the no helmet in your vid..... Get some good vids of her wound up with a helmet.... Sounds great though...

You ever seen a zinger throw a rooster tail when the nitrous button gets hit? I have, and so has anyone who watched the drag races at trikefest last year. There is a video of it on here some where.

It is a stock towny engine that I removed all the kickstart parts and oil pump parts from, with a 60cc topend, stock zinger,

Mine is insane off the line I usually sit on the back of the seat to wheelie off the line, on this one I have to sit forward and it still wheelies without trying

His gearing must have something different going on Andy. You need gearing like that.

I am going to try and work the clutch and springs first as it was said it would bark the tires on asphalt back in the day with a kid on it....lol......... Nice to have another member to test and tune with though??? I love that little thing..

Wow that tri zinger brings back memories. What bike did you get 2 speed motor from? A friend of mine has my old zinger he wants to build it to keep up with my atc70.

Its from a towny, good luck finding the engine or parts, they only made them one year and alot of the qt guys grab them up, I paid $200 for my blown up towny engine. Thats weird, I actually raced a stock atc70 with my original zinger engine in and we were dead even, He did have smaller shifter kart tires on it though!

TOWNY 2 SPEED TO ZINGER MODS engine is from a 1982 yamaha towny MJ50. If you get a complete towny engine its a fairly easy swap, i always split the cases on my engines to inspect, all your out is the 2 intake gaskets, base gasket and maybe the side cover gasket, they use yamabond to seal the case halves. when they are apart i remove the kickstart and oil pump and related parts, I dissassemble the oil pump remove all parts and fill it in with JB weld to use it to plug the hole in the case. You can order the plug for a zinger case to block the kickstart hole. the flywheel and stator ARE DIFFERANT, the flywheel sticks out farther and will rub on the zinger recoil, i tried to space it out and use it but for whatever reason it had too weak of spark to run, i ended up using all the zinger electronics, on the rh side of the clutch case you need to grind off a tab so the engine will fit in the zinger frame. You also need the zinger intake manifold, it is longer.167360
