r/moped

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.

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.

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

how much should i negotiate ?

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.

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

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.

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

I road it this morning and know it works but my clutch cable was stuck so I was manually pushing the clutch lever in with my foot to start it.

I released the cable to lube it which resolved the stuck cable but now pulling the cable and the lever there’s not even the sound of the engine trying to turn. What did i do wrong? 🤡

The photo where you can see the clutch cover fully is before I took it apart.

The other photo is with the cable released just to provide another angle

Disregard the purple fluid - I was removing rust and cleaning my bike in that photo.

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.

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.

Hey, so recently I bought this Chinese scooter from someone and realized after a bit that it was definitely rigged, I go pretty slow and have a scooter because it's practical, not because it's exciting. Therefore, I want to revert it to the speed limit and I was wondering if the issue here is the CDI itself or the missing cable
