Mopeds: Projects, Builds, etc

[jrossowvue30]

Clean tank, new petcock, new carb, new fuel. Stumped!

2 stroke is not something i'm overly familiar with to begin with. Been a lot of trial and error but i have a contact that should be able to give everything a once over and up and running

Until recently I hadn't been a very patient mechanic and without a lot of tools I hadn't been a very competent mechanic either. I am really loving working on these small 2 stroke engines. I've learned so much about them in such a short amount of time and information is so readily available on mopedarmy and youtube that I feel virtually unstoppable when it comes to working on them.

I still have my Sears Allstate that has had the engine rebuilt but cant figure out why it refuses to run. Coil is fine, generator is fine, spark is fine. Thing has me stumped!

Fuel issue? I'm sure you've checked that but if it has bad gas or a dirty/clogged carb they refuse to run.

Didn't F34R have a thread about one he was modding?

Yeah! It was a puch he chopped and was stretching and had a built motor going into it. Wonder if it made it out to CO with his move.

I got into mopeds a few weeks ago when someone gave me a 2006 Tomos Revival TS in non-running condition, no key and no title but only 22 miles. I got that running after a carb clean and new fuel, then upjettd and got a new pipe and high flow air filter and it is a blast to bomb around town on. Titled and tagged. I'm a bigger rider so I wanted to get a little more speed without having to kit it out and lose reliability. Then the moped bug bit...

Yesterday I went to pick up two complete but non-running mopeds, a Jawa 210 and a Batavus. The guy had a literal moped junkyard in his back yard and made me deals on a few that I couldn't refuse. I would have bought more but I couldn't fit anymore in my trailer. They're in various states, all non-runners and will all need work (a lot).

I got two Tomos Bullets, a 1984 Silver Bullet and an unknown year Bullet Top Tank frame. I got two Motobecanes, one complete and rough and the other a clean frame. I picked up another clean Batavus in addition to the one I bought beforehand. Both Batvaus are clean. Then there is the Jawa, complete and clean.

I'm going to try to revive the Silver Bullet first because Tomos A3 is a really easy platform to get parts for and it is a very complete bike. Plans are to get the motor unstuck and work from there. I started the process of getting the motor unstuck today by soaking the piston in penetrating oil/Marvel's Mystery and dousing every nut and bolt in PB Blaster. The tank is clean so I lucked out there. The seat was bare foam so I removed it and threw it in the trash and will upgrade when I get to that point. Wire wheels are trash, obviously tires and tubes are toast. Overall the plan is to build this one into a more modified moped and keep it so I can have a spare one to ride when I have friends over.

I know others have had threads going about the moped builds they were doing but nothing in a while has been posted. This thread will be here to document my builds and progress but also for others to post their mopeds up as well.
