So this I wonder if that's really going to work that way. The way I see it now, a third party (a COMMERCIAL party) makes a report on the work and cash flow of a company, the company involved pays for this. Then this report is sent to a committee to evaluate the report, and they decide whether or not this company is going to get this certificate. No member of this committee will check the company involved out personally, and I doubt they will really, because this must be a month work at least. So if you have the right company who makes the report, and you pay them well, you're bound to get this certificate.. >forget about exporting.

After all, they are in the No one dares to say Tomos makes crappy products.. Which parts do they produce for Sachs? The Sachs two-wheel division was sold to S-ram in 1996. This company did not sell any moped parts up until now, who manufactures these Sachs mopeds? >>If we replace the twisted exhaust with a normal one on the new type Tomos, >>they run 60 Km/h easy. > >Yes, that's the speed the automatic moped series were designed for, which >was before the speed limit went from 60 to 50 km/h on the domestic market. >If I remember correctly, the first A3 models originally had the shorter >exhaust manifold. BTW, do you only replace the manifold or the expansion >chamber and/or muffler also? I never have changed the manifold, I like the one used now too much. The carburettor was terrible to access on the old models with the short manifold. In my opinion, the optimal tune-up would be an old manifold, new reed valve and the old straight exhaust pipe used in the 70's which now is made in Portugal (Jamarcol) To be honest, I must mention that I never swapped reed-valves between different models..
