Thinking gotta mix oil with gas on that one ?

Make sure your plug wire and plug cap are good, don't use a resistor plug cap, and make sure the carb is clean, get some guitar strings to run thru the carb passages, use a Champion N-3 plug, make sure valves are adjusted, make sure float needle is good, then I turn on gas and choke, open the throttle and kick it thru three times to prime cylinder with gas, close throttle, kick.

The Sears 106 and its big brother, the 124; the 175 and 250 Allstates (Puchs), the moped and the 3-spped hand-shift scooter--the stuff of dreams in a catalogue and in real life with the Allstates.

Cigweld wirefeeder faulty

Hi Derek. Very interested in your prop (side) stand - any details available? I'm looking at options for my F-B Cruiser 75.....

I'm having exactly the same issues . With the 130 I'm going to copy exactly what you have done . Thanks for sharing .. legend

My father bought one of these new in 1960.It was an absolute nightmare, always breaking down and once when in stalled starting backwards and propelling him into a ditch. However it was a nice looking machine and our first family transport.

Well its April 2020 four years on from when I made this video and the mig has finally packed in. Its been an absolute trogon its been used nearly everyday but this morning it failed, the pcb that feeds the wire feed motor has gone so I will have to get another mig The part is discontinued and its £40 to have the board repaired but the torch is battered and the feed motor must be on its last legs as well. Ah well.

My first bike as well. 1966 in Val-d’Or, Québec. Bought from Sears in Val-d’Or. I was sixteen years old. Since then, I owned 7 other motorcycles : Honda 200, 450 and 750 K, Goldwing 1983 + Yamaha 125 cc, Tmax 500 cc and now Honda ST 1300. Motorcycling is a way of life. Thank you for your video.

I have been given a mig welder, sip migmate 130 and the wire feed is erratic. I have found a forum that has a tip for it to replace the plastic tube with curtain wire for the wire to travel more smoothly. I will make a brace for the rollers too 👍

Another update on the SIP pocket mig another year on and its still working great. In fact this month the co2 bottle ran out I have been using the large pub gas bottles but when it ran out I had bought a small disposable bottle of co2 ages ago and never used it so I connected this up until I had time to go for a refill. It seems to be even better with this disposable gas I am getting a cleaner weld and it seems hotter. I cant explain it but its great.

It's nice kinda sounds like a jawa

I have century 80 gasless wire feed welder and has automatic wire feed and I can't weld worth a shit with it because I can't control the speed

I had a Maypole mig welder over 20 years ago with the same wire feed unit, I went through alot of wire feed units and the problem is they are cheap shit and not up to the task period. Most of the cheaper Clarke, Draper and SIP migs have these units in them and the best thing you can do is stay clear.

His scooter looks tip top. I have just bought a non running James SC4 (engine is seized and I 'm just sorting that out. Any body got any spares for the SC1 or SC4?. How about a facebook page for James scooters?

i done your modification to my little sip 120 mig welder now it is pulling a 15kg reel without slipping thanks

We have just bought a very sad looking one.

Just noticed you have A car ignition coil on this I have Sc1 but the magbeti is shut So is coils how does this setup work plz

The problem I've got with my old sip handymig is that the wire feed motor gets its power from the main transformer so the voltage dip when starting causes the feed to slow down and then you get burn back, and when you arc again if does the same thing. The result is a really difficult to control weld at any speed or power setting. The fix would be to use a seperate transformer to power the wire feed motor, but I haven't worked out how to do that yet. Funnily, I've not had the problem you have here with the tensioning feed rollers, but then again that's probably because my old mig has barely had 20 hours use in the 20+ years I've had it!

I love it.

An update.Two years on from making this video and the welder is still working great I had to fit a new liner last year but apart from this its never missed a beat apart from wear and tear. It could do with a new torch its falling to bits the shroud is held on with wire and the tip is loose in the gun but it still works well.

Just an update on this modification I made may 2016 its may 2018 now and its still working fine. I use the welder every week for something or other. This machine has been brilliant. The only thing I have had to do is change the liner and fit a new tip.

great looking bike

I had one that I bought from a "Buddy." He put black electrical tape over the Sears name on the back of the seat, and tried to pass it off as a Harley Davidson. It used to eat nylon timing gears, and even back in the 1970s, they were hard to find. I finally DevCon-ed one back together and it never failed again. After I sold it, it suffered a carb leak that burned it to the ground.

Take that Del Orto carb and throw, it in the trash and put a PWK 30mm on it and it will start on the first kick. That's how I fixed mine.

Buddy of mine down the street got a new one of those when we were in high school, kept it looking like new.

The torch will probably need a service to. Any hobby mig that has feed problem needs new liners.

First bike. Bought out of a shed in 1973 when I was 16. Three days cranking and fiddling before I had it runnings. A stupid teen I probably just kicked enough fresh fuel through it to clean the carbs. That's how I learned to ride. Around the yard, then up and down the gravel road in front of the house, then I was off and gone and riding as much in the dirt as on the road. Stripped it down, road it so hard, clueless and it ran and ran. Loved that bike and still miss it. Wish the HD FLHS I recently picked up worked as well.

This (model) was my first and only bike. Bought a new one in 1969. Never had a problem with it. Top speed, wide open, could be 60 or so--on flat highway, but generally it was hard-pressed to go 55. I used it for about 2 years, as my main mode of transportation. Nothing but good memories about it.

Does anyone know why my wire feed keeps shooting out with my finger off the trigger?

If available I might be willing to purchase.

Thanks for sharing - great tip.

I have the same issues with my mig, shitty plastic feeders, going to do the same fix on mine, thanks for the post

l had one of those engine as a kid, nice little power plant

Sounds crisp, very nice.

hi there just wanted to say thank you for posting this ive just got same mig sip 150 turbo with same problem will try this when courier brings mine just bought it off ebay he says intermitent fault with torch i hope its this problem

What's with all the fuckin birds whistling?......is your shop also a pet store??? BTW, the wire-feed on my MIG has been acting up as well. I don't know ANY MIG that doesn't have, or have had, wire-feed problems!!!

beautiful bike Derek, lovely restoration. I'm trying to finish off my 1973 suzuki GT250K model. just gotta build her up now . that wee dream is gorgeous. can you not get original pipes for it. I don't know what it is about the dream, but I can't help liking it. 😀 👍 👍

Very nice! The Sears 106 was my first bike.

Nice !

Nice work on those carb covers, I'd be willing buy a set if you made one.

Nice Work Derek!
