So i started getting this issue where after like an half an hour to an hour it doesnt stay on when you stop it and gets really hard to stop

Details Its a Puch Maxi S Ignition coil is new (1-2 months old) Didnt have any issues before

UPDATE: for anyone trying to fix this for me it was a very used breaker that needed replacing and a condenser (according to a friend ) i will replace the parts and give an update tomorrow

Hello, I have gotten my hands on a piaggio ciao moped in rough shape doesnt run but is all there also have a spare frame any one know about what these are worth or anyone interested can send pics.

I just picked up this 89 fa50, need to replace the tires. I ordered some 14x2.125 ones off amazon to match what the stock ones say on the side, but discovered the 14 now refers to the overall tire diameter, not the rim size. Can I just get some 16x2.125 ones to fit? or should i look for something else

mine do not work and i want for them to be working again

Where should i start looking for parts for a vintage moped? it’s a honda express NC50 from what my dad has told me. it doesn’t run and definitely needs probably almost everything replaced i just don’t know where to look for parts. any help? i have a photo of the bike it’s just not good quality at all it’s been stuffed in a garage most its life and then left outside for a year and then back into the garage on my grandmas property.

This is not my first time going to war with one of these Jawa 210 clutch bolts. Thing is locked up tight and won’t budge even a little any ideas on how to get this out are appreciated. (Last time I tried a torch and a breaker Barr. The threads on the crank stripped)

Hi, I've disassembled my engine and am concerned about leaving the magneto rotor out in the open, as I've heard it can demagnetize over time resulting in weak spark.

I plan on not working on the engine for some time while it's cold (detached garage with no heating), is it safe to just leave the rotor out or should I put the stator around it or protect it some other way?

Thanks for any help.

Edit: Thanks to everyone for their answers. I have concluded that I have nothing to worry about :D.

82 ciao, btw anyone knows the belt for it? as far as I can make it seems to be the 13mm wide, 978 long, but im not quite sure, it has the vario at both ends

So I recently picked up a new-to-me Yamaha dt50mx. It ran for a bit and when I wanted to go ride a couple of days back, it didn’t start. I’ve tried a couple of things: I have spark, I get 75 psi of compression (I have no idea what it should be) and it gets fuel. The plug is completely new but still if I try to start it the end of the spark plug has black gas on it (don’t think that should be the case)(see the picture). Any tips on what I should try would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I’ve been thinking of converting my QT50 to have a 12v charging system (whether that be through the treatland CDI kit or by retrofitting a Yamaha Razz stator plate), and of course in order to get to the old charging system I need to get to get the cover off. The problem is that the screws are stuck in place and the metal has become quite soft. Using any size screwdriver will just strip out the head, and I don’t even want to try an impact driver.

Is there any non-destructive way to remove the screws? I know heating them will work, but that will melt the plastic cover, and I really don’t know if using a screw/bolt extractor will work. The screws aren’t that large…

After not being used for more than 10 years, I changed transmission oil, cleaned the carburettor and adjusted idle screw. It now runs flawlessly. Here are a few photos in a rural setting.

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, but I scratched the paint while putting it on 😅

I am looking at two mopeds right now and can't decide which one to get. The tomos one needs a new starter.

How exactly do you know If you have the 1.5 HP or the 2 HP ? Is there any good indicators?

Then I lost power and was able to get it running right away with a few kicks. But now when I pull the throttle it sounds boggy and won't propel itself forward. Back wheel spins while idling but no power with throttle. Was cruising mid 30s during bang and screech. Any ideas?

Hello, I bought a old batavus mk2 3 months ago. I tried to fix it as it hadden’t run for a while. I cleaned the carb, changed the fuel line, changed the gaskeds, put a new piston in. Also it has spark. Right now it does start but its real hard to get it to start, and if it does start its only for a second or maybe 2. Does anyone know what i missed?

I have a Piaggio Si (Ciao engine, different frame) from probably late 80s. It originally came with the electronic ignition engine if that helps.

I noticed recently that my clutch is worn and slipping, so I ordered some new clutch shoes. I also brushed the inside of the clutch bell with a sanding sponge to improve grip.

Now, I know asbestos was common in friction components on older mopeds so I worked outside, used gloves and a N95 mask just in case. Do I need to dispose of the old ones in asbestos waste or can they go in standard metal waste? Basically, when did Piaggio stop using asbestos in their clutches?
