This guide is for owners of Peugeot Ludix 50 scooters (2004-2007 models) looking to upgrade their engine performance. The Airsal 70 cc Cylinder Kit offers a significant power boost by replacing the stock cylinder with a larger, high-performance aluminum unit featuring a durable Scanimet coating. A key benefit is improved acceleration and top speed, though professional installation is recommended due to the nature of engine modifications.

Scanimet is a special coating made of nickel and silicon carbide applied to the cylinder's inner surface. It significantly improves resistance to wear and tear, enhancing the mechanical properties and lifespan of the cylinder.
For optimal performance and to prevent engine damage, it is highly recommended to upgrade to a larger carburetor when installing a 70 cc cylinder kit. The original 50 cc carburetor will likely be too small.
After installation, it's crucial to follow a break-in period. Typically, this involves varying the engine speed and avoiding prolonged periods at full throttle for the first 200-300 kilometers. Consult the kit's specific instructions for precise details.
While possible for experienced mechanics, installing a cylinder kit involves intricate engine work. If you are not comfortable with engine disassembly and reassembly, professional installation is strongly advised to ensure correct fitment and prevent damage.
This specific kit is designed for the Peugeot Ludix 50 models from 2004-2007. Compatibility with other models or years may vary and requires verification.
Aluminum is lighter than cast iron and has superior thermal conductivity. This allows the cylinder to dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the risk of overheating and improving overall engine efficiency and power consistency.
Verify correct installation of all components. Ensure the carburetor is properly jetted for the larger displacement and check for air leaks in the intake system. Confirm compatibility with exhaust and other engine modifications.
Check engine cooling efficiency. Ensure the air filter is clean and not restricting airflow. Verify the fuel-air mixture is correct; too lean can cause overheating. Confirm proper functioning of the cooling system (if applicable).
Immediately stop the engine and inspect for loose components. Verify correct torque on cylinder head and base. This could indicate internal damage and requires professional inspection.
Check spark plug condition and gap. Ensure proper fuel delivery and a clean air filter. Verify ignition timing and compression are within acceptable ranges.
Compatibility: This Airsal cylinder kit is specifically designed for Peugeot Ludix 50 models manufactured between 2004 and 2007. Ensure your scooter falls within this range before purchase.
Setup: Installation involves disassembling the top end of the engine, removing the old cylinder, and fitting the new Airsal kit. This process typically requires specialized tools and a good understanding of 2-stroke engine mechanics. It is highly recommended to have this kit installed by a qualified mechanic. Proper break-in procedures after installation are crucial for the longevity of the cylinder.
Care: After installation and a proper break-in period, the primary care involves regular engine maintenance. This includes ensuring the correct air-fuel mixture, clean air filter, and proper lubrication. The durable Scanimet coating requires no special cleaning but benefits from the engine running within its optimal temperature range, which the aluminum construction helps achieve.
