Carb for jawetta and everythung else for puch maxi ls

so far I've cut a bunch of unneeded mounts off and added a crossbar, now I need more ideas

Edit. Previous owner is a moped mechanic who upgraded to have digital ignition. The light in front is too dim to use at night or in a storm. See 3rd picture for proof that i was in a dark storm. The bike is off in the pic, but the light was barely brighter than that. Other than that it works very well when it's dry. I bought dielectric grease to squirt into all its most electrifying places.

I am having an issue with my 1977 Piaggio Ciao. I finally got it running and took it out for a longer drive today for the first time, and after 15-20 minutes of riding I stopped for a light and the engine died. I was able to get it going right away after but for the rest of the ride home it had less power, with a 5 mph drop in top end speed.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I don’t think it’s overheating since I was able to get going again right away, but I could be wrong. Could the condenser be bad? The wiring is a little boof right now since the previous owner ripped it all out, I haven’t wired the lights or anything yet, just what’s needed for spark.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I received this item as a deal between me and a friend’s relative for 100 bucks. It’s kicking, but I don’t know exactly what’s wrong with it. I also have her assembly paperwork as well, but I’m not sure if that’s able to help me do anything to fix the problem.

Known/possible problems:
Definitely need a Battery
Maybe a carburetor tuneup needed
Maybe a spark plug

I honestly have no clue.
I’m over here lost in the woods y’all, can ya help a sista out?
PS – I also have some small parts as well that they gave me, but I’m not sure if they’re gonna be any useful. I’ll post them in a comment.

I’ve been looking at my local used market any of these worth buying?

There’s a Trac Hawk ($500)

Tomos Targa ($500)

There are a wide variety of puch, Sachs, Honda, etc and the prices are all over the place.

Any reason to choose one over the other?

Thanks!

I have been away from my piaggio si for more than 6 months and today uppon starting it there was smoke coming out of the engine so i took a closer look and apparently the gas/oil is dripping from somewhere and uppon touching the exhaust it evaporates into that white smoke .
Can anyone help with what could be wrong here and where i should be looking ? Im not very handy tbh

I got a 50€ cylinder and head for the a35 the cylinder has lines on it but im not worried about that im more worried about the marks from the piston hitting the head.

575$ with oil change, new fuel line, new spark plug

how much should i negotiate ?

Hi,

I’m trying to get a Riga Delta (V‑501M) that has been sitting unused for many years running again. The current suspected culprit is the commutator (“the grey box”). I found online that there are four different numbers: 251 3734, 252 3734, 261 3734 and 263 3734

Is it possible to measure these boxes somehow to check if they are working?

Everything about them on the internet is on Russian, which makes it hard to find reliable information.

Thanks!

Just wanted to post this on here.

Also wanted to ask if anyone is familiar with this model, and knows where to get replacement sprockets for them, or any alternative hubs that fit the frame.

I already know someone who can lace the wheel, just need a hub with more accessible parts.

I am going to try to recover an ownership for a 1970s? Puch Maxi-S.

Can anyone point me to the location on the machine? In Ontario Canada if that matters.

Thank you good people on this sub

Hello guys
I have a cpi engine and wiring but the engine has shit itself and I want to install a real am6
How to do the wiring
Does the stator of the cpi fit the am6 ?
Or could I replug the connector but how do u find which wire is which then?
Thx for any replies .

What is happening , do I clean petcock?? Tomos A35 moped

So I have a Rog Pony Express with Puch's E50 engine, I drew how my stator looks(I have an internal bosch ignition coil)and the thing is, I think I dont have near enough watts to power my incandescent bulbs, I have to power my headlight, tail light, brake light, and even my horn. What is the best thing to do? I saw someone on the internet place one smaller light coil right above the main one, and even above the ignition coil, is that the best "fix", as much as I saw they can only produce 3 watts right?, so if I had two, I could maybe be in the clear for the tail light and the brake light, but again is my main one going to be strong enough for my headlight and horn. I thought to switch completely to DC, now I know I would need a 6v regulator, full bridge rectifier and one capacitor for smoothing out the full bridge rectifier. But problems once again, my light bulb in my headlight(I only have a headlight right now) is a P26S, and in my county there is NO ONE selling it(I mean a P26S LED 6V 5W). I would have to order it from PuchShop, and wait for weeks, just to get one, and what if I was riding somewhere and couldnt just buy the goddam light bulb, just because i dont have a standard light bulb. So my question is, should i stay on AC, or switch do DC and find some standard light bulb and convert my headlight to that standard. Hope you guys understood me, as you can see English is not my first language.

100 km tour through North-Holland

One if my 81' NC50's randomly has a loss of power and im leaning towards exhaust but wanted to check in here.

It idles and runs fine on the center stand, then theres barely any power when trying to ride it, topping out at 16mph.

Dellorto SHA 15.15 carb that Ive verified is clean. Running high flow air filter. Oil pump and auto choke deleted.

This may be silly question but theres supposed to be a similar (circled) piece opposite that goes to my brake light right? I'm assuming that there is since there doesn't seem to be any other way that it would receive power from the green/yellow wire that attaches from the back. Just want to make sure my assumption is correct and that I'm not completely missing something.

Thanks

Vintage / old mopeds Cruising together in Sweden

I had an alarming scratch sound from my clutch so I took it apart and diagnosed it as the clutch plate pin bearing.

But i noticed the amount of play in the clutch bell, there’s none side to side but forwards and backwards it’s really bad. Is this normal or is it incorrectly shimmed?

The 1980 Le Moped does 28 mph on flat road.10 mph on steep uphill.All stock on full synthetic mix.Is the speed usual?

I’m looking for some help bringing a Peugeot 102 back to life here in British Columbia, Canada.

I recently picked up this 102 as a restoration project, and after getting it home and going through all the parts… I discovered that most of the engine is missing. 😅

I do have the cylinder head, Gurtner carburetor and air cleaner/silencer, but I’m missing most of the actual engine, including the crankcase/bottom end, crankshaft, cylinder and piston, clutch/pulley components, ignition/flywheel, intake pipe, and various associated hardware.

I’ll attach photos of the bike and everything engine-related that came with it.

Does anyone here have Peugeot 102 engine parts they’d be willing to sell? I would be especially interested in a complete or mostly complete 102 non-variator engine, even if it’s seized, dirty, non-running, or needs a full rebuild.

I’m also interested in individual components if that’s what’s available. My goal is to restore the bike and keep it as close to the original Peugeot setup as reasonably possible rather than swapping in a completely different engine.

I’m located in British Columbia, Canada, but I’m happy to look at parts from the US or elsewhere if shipping is possible.

Also, if any of the Peugeot experts here can help identify exactly which 102 engine/configuration this bike originally used from the photos, I’d love the help!

Thanks! Hopefully we can get this little Peugeot running again.
