Description

What to Expect in the Course:
You don’t want to just take your engine apart haphazardly and hope it runs again afterward, do you? In this course, you’ll perform a complete engine overhaul yourself—with our support, the right tools, and a check after every important step.

We’ll walk you through the process step by step using a sample engine. Then you’ll apply what you’ve learned directly to your own engine. That way, you’ll not only know what needs to be done, but you’ll also understand why and what to watch out for along the way.

Schedule over four course days:
Course Day 1:
Disassemble the engine, assess the condition of the individual components, and determine the necessary replacement parts. Together, we’ll figure out what your engine really needs. You’ll order the parts to be delivered directly to your home and bring them with you on the next course day.

Course Day 2:
Finish cleaning the parts and engine case, prepare the components, and correctly space the shafts.

Course Days 3 & 4:
Reassemble the engine step by step. We’ll check the important intermediate steps before moving on.

This course focuses solely on engine overhaul. You’ll handle the removal and installation of the engine, fine-tuning, and other work on the entire moped at home or here at our Open Garage.

The big advantage:
You do the work yourself, but you’re not on your own. We demonstrate each step, monitor your progress, and help you select the right parts. This helps you avoid unnecessary trial-and-error and unsuitable components as much as possible.

We exclusively install points-type or VEC ignition systems. We’re also happy to advise you on individual components such as cylinders, carburetors, exhaust systems, or tuning parts. However, these are not part of the actual engine overhaul.

Notes:
• The cost of materials for your engine overhaul is not included in the course price.
• As a rough estimate, you can expect additional material costs of approximately 600.- for a Sachs engine. This includes ball bearings, oil seals, the crankshaft, the ignition system, and the necessary small parts.
• Any additional parts required or desired—such as a clutch, cylinder, or tuning components—will incur extra costs. In some cases, it’s not clear what’s actually needed until after the engine has been disassembled.
• Everyone works on their own engine.
• We’ll guide you step by step through the entire engine overhaul and regularly check the key steps.
• Together, we’ll determine which parts need to be ordered or sourced in addition to the standard overhaul parts.
• Your engine case must be in serviceable condition on the outside. Broken case parts or similar major damage should be ruled out before the course begins. Unfortunately, what you’ll find inside won’t be clear until after disassembly.
• In exceptional cases, additional replacement parts may need to be organized between course days. We do not keep replacement engine housings in stock.
• We provide the workstation and hand tools.
• Hearing and eye protection are also available.
• Open-toed shoes are not permitted in the workshop.
• A small selection of beverages is available for purchase.
