Its possible to get Chinese made copies of Foredom pendant motors, and even 90 degree grinders, and straight handpieces to fit Foredom flex drives. A reasonable set-up costs about £200, consisting of pendant motor, flex shaft, footpedal, quick release 2.25mm collet, straight handpiece, chuck type straight handpiece, 3mm right angle grinder, and a good selection of carbide burrs and grindstones. You would find that would be far better than Dremels, and well worth getting if you do much more than 3 or 4 porting jobs a year.
@@TheSteelweasel Other alternative is pro type gear. Then a right angle grinder alone costs nearly £500! Who makes the pistons for the cylinder you are working on? Dont recognize them?
Like yourself I've never done any tuning work but from the magazine articles I've read the output is dependent on size / type of carb and what performance criteria of exhaust you want . E G high reving, top end power or a low down torquey touring type engine . I would think that the output is dependent upon which combo you choose .

Howdoo Looks like you are having fun. ✌🏼✌🏼 Not sure if you realise but it’s Darrel Taylor (Taylor Tuning) he’s the Daddy of two stroke tuning, and Chris Sturgess Two different people although they do know each other very well.
Years ago as a yoof I had a paper thin 72mm cast iron barrel with a Bultaco single ring piston, the exhaust had a diagonal bridge brazed in to stop the ring falling out, I ran a twin plug head, and a 1" 3/16" Wal Phillips with a 48mm Fresco. Bonkers in a straight line, but horrendous to ride anywhere else, and drank quicker than Oliver Reed and Shane McGowan at a free bar!
In the next episode i will build the motor and give for the first time my story , life with lambrettas, racing , sprinting and tuning .
Fantastic technical side to supertune...pushing it !
That looks as mad as a box of frogs, I can imagine the power output will be quite large
Excellent work Steve, loving this build.
Love your work on this one Steve.

Exactly what I need ... Worth having a look... cheers

i think Tino uses METOR pistons but this one has no markings ....@@humourless682
great work steve
What would Monza kit be before all your work , I’ve never done any cylinder work so rather expensive if I made a mistake ,
My thoughts but this guy knows what he's doing
