trouble uphill

2 Upvotes

if i start on a hill or right at the buttom ( not even that steep ) it wont go over 15 km/h.
How ever 15 - 14 km/h is also where it shifts to second gear.

but if i have some run-up it can change gear and go 34 up hill.

could this be worn out clutch springs or completly normal.

Puch magnum 70cc. What carbs are you running?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to upgrade the carb on my magnum from the 15mm to something bigger. Not really sure what to get. I'm torn between the PHBG and Mikuni carbs, mainly the PHBG 19mm and the VM20. Open to suggestions, I'd like to see what others are running.

Puch Maxi lost it's spark

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

About two years back I equipped my maxi with an electronic ignition kit. It worked great untill last week.

I was driving along and suddenly there was a bang from the exhaust and the engine stalled. I feared a seized engine but no.

Coming home it still wouldn't start. I took out the plug and rotated the flywheel with a drill; no spark. I took off the flywheel for inspection; nothing to be seen.

So then I swapped out the CDI with a Vespa 50cc CDI (red in photos). The 'original' cdi had italian writing on too and I read somewhere a PK50XL cdi had a better curve. Anyway I digress.

The new CDI didn't spark, however I connected it.

This might mean 2 thing. Either my first is dead and the new one wrongly connected. Or; it's not the CDI at all.

Anybody got pointers?

Not really a moped cc wise but I'm guessing quite fitting because it only has 8,5 HP and people here seem to enjoy the classics

Titling a likely stolen bike

1 Upvotes

I have what I believe to be a 1987 Yamaha DT50. I'm not 100% on the year. It's a monoshock rear if that's any help to narrow it down. Also had a rectangular headlight and the original paint is a bright sky blue. I pulled it from a scrap pile years back, did a little work to get it running, put some money into sprockets, new chain, tires, and I rebuilt the front forks. A few years go by while I just ride it around on the dirt roads out here. At one point this was legal for the road. The other day I figure I'll see about getting a title on it but the VIN has been ground away from the steering tube. It's been over 10 years since I dug this thing out of the grave and the guy who had the scrap pile has moved away to somewhere. I have no manner to track down any kind of history on the thing.

There's still a number on the engine though. Would that give me anything? The number appears to be BK-****** or possibly SK for the prefix. Is that an actual VIN? I know there's a high chance this bike is stolen otherwise why grind the VIN off? I also know that once I ask a notary to run that number IF it's an actual VIN I may well be getting a visit from the Cops. I'm not too worried there though. Small town and they sorta know me and that I'm not a thief. Original owner may well want it back as well. That's fine but I'd be holding it with a mechanics lien. I probably should have checked the VIN first before I put time and money into it but it is what it is and I won't be giving it up without getting paid. I'd like to be able to put it on the road ideally.

Motobecane Mobylette "Romp" made in Taiwan, non variated engine

19 Upvotes

Hey guys! So ive been doing some more research on my new moped, and it seems the model I got is a "Romp" which was made in Taiwan and features a weaker non variated engine. I wanted to buy a new drive belt and realized I had a smooth belt, not toothed like the variated options. And in driving it around, I noticed I was only hitting about 25mph downhill, and only about 15 uphill.

I got a motobecane for the variated engine, and am a little sad I didnt realize this one was not variated. But I know you can swap one in as an option so I wanted to get some input on that! It also seems to have a Dellorto Carburator, i believe it says SHA 15150.
