Here is the plastic saver I used in the video. It works pretty well! Motul plastic shine solution: amzn.to/38lWmxe
Man I had one almost exactly like this but mine was a 125cc if I remember correctly and she would do 80mph wound right out but it wasn't very safe to do lol because at that speed everything shook and vibrated quite violently on it but it'd do 65mph highway speeds just fine and had some "get-up-n-go" to her for a moped I could grab the front brake, stand up then pin itt and shed sit still and spin the back tire just a rolling smoke and once it got going I could sit back down and it's stay spinning then id let off the brake and take off doing a rolling burnout for like 10ft I loved that lil thing it was like a fat girl- fun as hell to ride but ya didn't want your friends to catch ya on it hahahaha then in Dec of 2008 when we had no snow for a week straight I took it out for a rip around town and had a 73yr old man pull out in front of me and stop and I was doing around 45-50mph couldn't stop but had both wheels locked right up till I t-bones his car which landed me in the hospital for 3 n half months because I shoved 4 ribs through my thoracic aorta (heart) and after multiple surgeries they finally put me back together and my wrist has titanium plates and bolts in it, missing half the muscle of my lower left leg and took me over a year to learn to walk again... thankfully I was able to get a lawyer and unfortunately they didn't fight real hard for me so I ended up getting 90k settlement of which I got 54k sucks because I can't walk or stand for very long and it completely changed how I live my life... I guess I'm just grateful to be alive 🙏
Pretty sure that fuel has pre-mix in it and that is why the carb was all gummed up and there was a bunch of oil leaking underneath it...
I'll have to check this out.
The green wire is to limit the bike to 30 mph
I owned a moped and saved probably around $5000 in fuel costs until I got hit by a geo metro at an intersection and died. Now I'm in heaven. The wifi hear is fast as fug
But did you die?
The green wire has been cut to remove that 30 mph restriction ,with the wire cut should get closer to 40 mph
Yes ! Revlimeter wire .
Ya that is what i was going to write it was a mod that most people on scooters do to get more speed and have a but more fun out of there scooters. For him to say that the green wire was the problem was wrong it was that the carb was dirty and not getting enough fuel if any to the engine but you did put it back to stock if you like having it go a minimum speed. Put that green wire back the way it was and you will have more fun with it
Wasn't the carburetor that was plugged though.. Was that green wire that got it fired right up...
Get heat gun on black plastics
Don't put wd40 on black just use heat gun
That wire that was cut was to restrict it at 30 mph normally with it cut you go faster
if its a 50cc it wont go much faster then 50kmh... for a 4 stroke
@@reggiexp69 50cc 4strokes easily goes up to 80kmh if completely derestricted 2strokes can go up 100kmh
No it wasn't dumbbell totally opposite
@@reggiexp69 my Tao Tao 50cc 4 stroke goes 70Mph (112Kmh) on flat roads. Upgraded carb, exhaust and removed the restrictor ring on the variator. All in $30 for a 24mm? (I forget) Mikuni clone carb from Amazon and $64 for a really decent sounding full exhaust off of ebay. Engine has never been opened up.
@@bevis226 i mean yeah, but 112kmh i dont beleive if you said 70kmh sure my bigfood 50cc dirt bike engine quad did 65kmh
When you solder you need to get heat in the wires so that it acts like a wick to the molten solder. It will soak it up and have a much stronger connection... It doesn't matter too much in that scenario but that's how soldering should be done 👌👌
It definitely looked like the the iron wasn't up to temp for that solder. He should also work on those joints
Perfect Explanation Sir !!
Iron with larger size bit would have help it looked a little small to me and your correct, tin the iron, heat joint and apply solder.
correct. I have a BS EE and have done a lot of soldering. I can say if your iron doesnt have temperature control, its a hunk of junk. Doesnt have to be expensive to be goodm even my small all in one inline 65W iron for 20 bucks on amazon works well once broken in.
@@jhoughjr1 agreed. I bought a cheap one off eBay that has temp control and temperature reading. Came in handy when I was soldering CCA wire etc.
Another handy feature is the spool holder 👌
Might be beneficial to check the oil prior to running the engine. :)
Who needs oil lol that would be the first thing I’d check
Yes!
Remove the turn signal beeper fer shur ... hide it inside chucks dash and wire it to his signal relay or brake switch 🤫🤫
Such an awesome video man! I love coming home after a hard day to watch a new 2vintage video!
That scooter is much more your speed than any CR250 or even a CR or KX125 ! HAHAHA
You look like a perfect fit cruising around the nieghborhood on that yellow monster. Just be careful and don't hurt yourself on that beast.
If you plan on keeping it, replace the fuel lines as they are a very inferior chinese rubber and will deteriorate, put a petcock on the fuel tank as the vacuum valve tends to leak and not open all the time. The electric choke (enrichment needle) tends to seize in the bore keeping the choke to engage, a Q-tip rubbed on the inside and the brass ferrule is good but a manual choke is best.
Pops
If you watch the upload back. The fuel lines are usa made items
@@ZafiraSteve They look like every fuel line I changed on every GY6 (50cc-150cc) go kart, moped, and mini-quad, buuuut I could be wrong. I use blue or green fuel lines so you can glance at them and know they were changed, but you may be right I didn't look that closely. The chinese lines may say fuel but they are vacuum lines.
BTW You have some really cool late 80's-90's street bikes, those remind me of a better era of unrestricted (if you knew how) speed. Some of those bikes never made it to U.S. shores but the few came from Canada.
Pops
As the guys on MopedARMY would say... THAT'S A SCOOTER NOT A MOPED!
It's both.
@@tobbes3566 it's not. This has no pedals, therefore it is not a moped.
@@wannawin95 exactly…..the ped in moped literally comes from pedals 🤷🏻♂️
@@jonnyonwheels That's an old, now atleast were im at it a scooter moped. Dosent need pedals anymore.
Not a MOPED. IT'S A SCOOTER.
honestly you makke so much more than the viewer perceives, youve taught me so much about patience and concentration. id just like to thank you for teaching me these key characteristics in life. Joe, youre the man
maybe that wire on the CDI unit was cut to give it more RPM or Top speed. I use to have one of these and enjoyed riding it so much mine could hit a massive 42MPH. great video and I am glad you got it back on the road again.
As soon as I saw that the green wire had a clean cut, I instantly knew it was restricted via the CDI. I'd like to see a before and after top speed vid Joe. Cheers, Joe.
Same😌
Very practical. Aside from great economy it's a very visible yellow... and smaller wheels have quicker rebound on the bumps than the larger wheel setups...
I personally use dielectric bulb grease and a toothbrush to revive my plastics and rubber components... just wipe it all off to avoid dust clinging to it.
I love the doctor of engines diagnosing the problem then that sweet sweet sound of her or him firing up nice one vintage nice one
There is usually a small spacer between the two halves of the variator (front pulley). It stops the two halves closing fully up and serves as a top speed restricter by limiting the effective “high”speed gearing. Remove it and you will have taller gearing and faster top speed. Low speed take off from a standstill is unaffected.
Yep remove the spacer and put a cheap 24mm? Mikuni clone carb off of amazon it and it will do 70mph tops with a 150lb rider on a flat road. My POS 50cc scooter rips lol. Performance Exhaust helps a good bit as well. Remove the EGR restricted exhaust. My next upgrade is 100cc big bore kit. It needs more bottom end torque. It's still pretty darn slow going up hills.
The 3 most common methods of restriction are the variator, the CDI, and also the exhaust. Many times a small restrictor is placed in the exhaust where the manifold bolts to the muffler. It can either be simply placed in there, or is sometimes tack welded in place. Removing that gives the full performance.
@@Fredjoe5 Some also have a projection inside the carburettor top cap to prevent the slider from opening up fully. It can be cut or snapped off.
@@bevis226 There's no way a 1.9HP engine is doing 70 of anything.
@@bevis226 a load of crap.
I found that if you get the proper air pressure in the tires it goes a little faster
Good old GY6 50cc motor. GY6 engines are plentiful and very strong engines.
So ironic you put this out today. I literally just came in from reviving my 2002 50cc China scooter made by Geely. It hadn’t been run a few years and basically just needed a carb clean. So good when they come back to life!
Are u sure bro,what with zilch power?Boring!🤔🤨🤔🤔🤔
@@craigmorgan4676 yeah, boring for me but fun for my kids. Doesn’t get used anymore anyway so it’s getting sold.
@@noidontthinksolol yes the Cineseium metal sucks and the plastics do as well. But for $650 shipped to my house brand new back in the day, it wasn’t a bad deal. Fun for awhile now it’s getting sold. Polaris sportsman is much more fun in the woods!
Is there anything you can't fix ? I enjoy your channel ! Look forward to your next project !!
This is what I’m talking about !!!! Keep up the great work
My cheap Grom gets 135 mpg and still enough for left in the tank to get you to a fill up point, and that mpg comes with me ragging it everywhere with aggressive breaking. So maybe if someone if looking for a good fule economic bike with a bit more speed and usability,go get a Grom (either the OG, SF or the newer ones)
Love your videos so relaxing.
Disconnect that green wire again and see what happens.
2 minute experiment, and you might find you get better top end speed.
...or the bike might not work at all...
Go on...
Do it!
😄👍🇬🇧
And upload the results
Hi
Here in the UK kid cut a wire (pink I am told) this wire restricts the top speed (cuts spark at high rpm)
I have owned 3 mopeds in my life and loved them all. People laughed at me while I drove them but when u tell 100mpg they dont. $$$$
I just bought a PCC Amor 50 from a guy who put a 70cc BBK on it. The carb was crappy, so I bought a new one(20mm), along with a new variator (6.5g rollers) and belt, and it is amazing now. Takes off like a car and can climb hills at 35mph. I think the full throttle jet needs attention though. Idles great, and then great low end power, but full throttle doesn't have any more power than say 1/2 throttle.. I will pull my spark plug to see which way it needs to be tuned. Timely video for sure. I got mine to make deliveries because 13mpg sucks...
To check the condition of the engine, first check the ignition and then the fuel to the intake manifold. If it starts, then carburetor cleaning. The idle jet may be clogged.
You should do a performance build on this I been watching other videos were they have been getting very good results.
These will run fine if you take care of them. I’ve put well over 10k km on a couple examples and they still ran fine when I sold em. Yes, that dash reads in km. These things generally get a bad rep over little things going wrong, then it stops running and the owner doesn’t know what to do.. it’s almost always something simple and cheap. I rode these things exclusively for several years.. fixed up a couple heaps in that time, rebuilt a couple engines, ect. Just be sure it’s not running too hot.. I disintegrated a piston that way once. I still daily two wheelers, it’s just a Honda 250 at The moment.
Also, that is a scooter. Mopeds have pedals. No peds= not moped.
There’s a ton of info on these things and easy mods/upgrades if you do a little googling.
I rlly enjoyed watching this ☺️
Your a great technician and your camera is always in the best spot for us to see. Are you in Michigan
Those little Gy6 Engines are awesome.
I had a 50cc 4 stroke moped and the wire was also cut , found out it de restricts the bike ect
my man is just a walking W
I like the color you will have a blast in the summer time with it
I was gonna say they cut the wire for a reason to get more speed but awesome videos keep it up
haha i have exactly the same scooter model only from 2005. bought the little bugger also for 200 but euros, i did 10.000km on it already and it saved me a lot of money going to work during corona! in fact, it enabled me to work cause i started at crazy hours in morning with no public transport and i had no car nor money. i drove a bigger much newer Sym Fiddle i believe, but this one actually handles better, very small and nimble, and corners very well.
I tell you people, as money gets tight and prices go up, get yourself one of these, they're great plus pretty reliable!
That's one sharp ride!
I'm a disabled vet I love those scooters you'll love that scooter too I drove one for all the summer and then I got hit in front of the post office when I got off of it but they're wonderful enjoy your scooter I don't know where you live at but you got a lot more snow than we did here in Missouri
You should try out SC-1. It’s amazing for cleaning up plastics. It hides all the scratches and gives it a glossy coat. That’s all I use. And it smells awesome.
You can take a torch and lightly heat up the plastic and it will bring out the shine, just don't get it too hot!!
Heat guns crack plastic.
Pledge "Reviv it" works great on dull plastics too!
Be sure the tires are up to pressure. I rode one identical to that once that was at 15 psi they looked good but no, almost ate shit hard on a turn at the recommended speed.
yeah i rode an icebear that was low and it handled so squishy rerally affected its top speed to.
2 vintage love ur content homie
Thanks for watching!
Man I'm addicted as u can learn so much
That scooter looks and runs great nice job.
serious? it looks like a scooter from 25 years ago...also its a cheap chinese scooter...break down a lot...doesnt even have a front disk brake....
@@maikelpeeters7328 those things are pretty much bulletproof
Also.Sc-1 is the best on the market for restoring the factory look. They claim a new bike in a can and its a product I stand by. Use it on my fourwheelers and motorcycle all the time.
Jade will love it. And its the best 200 bucks spent to me. Id ride it daily. Has to be a great gas saver.
That's a nice little town ripper. It don't matter if you get seen with it that's a smart idea cause it's great gas mileage to.
Just picked up a scrap 60 volt Tao for $250 where buddy kept it out for four years and the batteries expanded because of the cold. And the funny thing is it turns even with the charger plugged in. So I might add a generator. And later make it more of a Liberty motor. The Batman II, more beefed up!
Keeping the bikes you like is an investment. Of your time and effort, they are increasing in value , good to see you collect them .. some bikes I have sold are double in value in a short time ...
I like how you always check for oil after running them lol first thing you should do before checking to see if the motor turns over. But always fun to watch someone else bringing things back to life. Good job buddy keep up the good work.
Best way to make plastic like new is little heat works great
Sweet little ride, for some lucky kid.
I picked up a moped for $100 not running over winter. The bowl on the carb was riveted together so I trashed it and bought a new one and pod filter for $30. That and reset the valves and it ran really well. I just sold it recently for $400 (at list price lol) which I thought high with no title and an old moped but I guess there is a huge market for it in Milwaukee. With a clean running and titled moped you could probably get rid of this thing easy for around $800
if you wanted to Maybe you could do some research and find Big bore kits in trying to make like a little project out of it. I know when I was younger I had a lot of Yamaha razz and I think like a Yamaha vino and I know they offered Big bore kits for them you'd be surprised you can gain a lot of speed. Not sure if they offer anything for your particular moped though but could be worth looking into as a fun project. Nonetheless keep up the good work love watching your videos you've came a long ways.
Agree with the wire you repaired, thats a limiter wire, just cut it and go faster :) And I also think the electric choke is not working correctly, watching you start it cold, its the black thing on the carb with the 2 wires, pretty cheap fix, and a lot easier starting after
No its a sensing wire. EVery scooter Ive seen it done to runs worse than with it in tact.
I just bought one two week’s ago, it’s amazing how much faster they can be with $80 worth of Amazon parts and it runs unbelievably for a cheap Chinese gy6 engine
nice work!
Hi in the uk that ped is a boatian bt49 good little bike it’s downfall is if you leave it out in the rain it’s petrol tank fills with water. The kids cut that wire to the ecu and the wires to the variation case as they think it de restricts them not so sure myself
You can use a Hot paintstripper for the black surfaces
Never thought you’d be speeding!
wonder if that cut wire was a speed/engine restriction?
I find used engine oil wiped on faded plastic then thoroughly wiped off works well.
In those engines loads of speed limiters , like wires on ecu , or stuff under belt cover where is a clutch, anyway loads of speed limiters. :)
My wife has decided to start riding her V-clic Peugot , she hasnt riden it for 9 years . I kept it going and used it for shopping trips. Its generically the same as the one in the video
Wipe new is really good too.
The great thing is that scooter has been made by like 200 Chinese manufacturers and is still made identically to this day. Back in 2016 TX Motorsports had them for $599 shipped lol I bought it just based on principle but man was it a dog.. 30mph tops.. I didnt know about the green wire another user mentioned.
Very cool save. Those used to be great on big college campuses, not sure if they “allow” them these days👍👍👍
Any update on how the spray and shine held up? Always looking for a good dirtbike quad or car detailer?
I buy fix and sell about 50 mopeds/scooters a year. it's fun to watch someone else work on them lol
I stay away from Chinese scooter though
That green wire Is often cut people think its a rev limiter
Thanks for sharing this video. I believe you’re very knowledgeable with bikes 🚴 ❤❤❤❤😅
I just picked up a modified 2022 ruckus a couple weeks ago I’ve put 666 miles on it as of this moment and 6.6 gallons of fuel in which has cost $29.78 if my calculations are correct it comes out to 101 mpg average and $0.0447 per mile which is slightly more then the 2021 Tesla model 3 plus extended range RWD which according to online was the cheapest electric car to operate in 2021 at $0.0308 per mile. I couldn’t find anything for 2022 models. Things a blast I highly recommend getting one to anyone looking at them or interested in anything similar
Good Job and nice Scooter Man !! The Front Fender is a little Hayabusalookalike !!😎 I like your Vids Man!! Stay healthy and Biggest Greets from Bavria !!! My Name is Martin, and im also crazy for bikes like yours !!!
u should do a video on starting up all your machines! I wanna see the 250r and tecot 3 wheelers going.
Yes do more.
Getting an old chinese scooter to run well is sign of a great mechanic, my hats off to you. I've been using Meguires back to black for faded plastics, it works great, but it is not as cool as that spray stuff.
I don't usually share my secret potions lol but here ya go..... for sun faded plastics mix 50-50 paint thinner and boiled linseed oil. Foggy light covers? DEEPWOODS OFF! Spray on and let dry, do not wipe dry.
Great video as always try find a suzuki marauder 125 great cruise bike
i might need one of thoes with gasolie in canada at $1.70 a liter keep up the good work
Easy way to check is the bulbs 12 or 6 volts on foreign machines info sometimes scrubbed off the battery👍
The wire had been cut because the previous owner did the usual trick of trying to un-restrict the moped to make it faster, have you checked the spindle on the carburetor diaphragm to see what groove the cir-clip is on?
if the wire is cut and the cir-clip for the spindle is on the middle one watch how much faster it does.
by cutting the wire it stops sending the RMP message to the CDI and thinks it has no revs or idle, this causes the bike to rev higher or more freely, by changing the cir-clip on the diaphragm it allows more fuel through.
it would be good to see you try this in one of your videos.
have fun and great channel
2 more hours I finish night shift then I can’t wait to watch this , YAHTZEE !! 😂😂❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼
did you finish
@@memasys4068 1 hour to go 😂
you might want to check the cvt too. belt, TD, pulley, rollers, etc...
First one to comment after watching the whole video nice work on that old thing haha, it’s always electrical with those old mopeds, I remember one time all I needed to do to start one was pop in a little battery

@@brockclouser1500 cap on what?

I was 14 years old and had the same scooter, drove it all around Florida and New York! So memorable for me … but
Being 65 years old I would love to have one of these little bikes to drive about a new childhood. Yet in Ontario Canada with an absolute clean (Car) driving history with not one ticket, or insurance claim or accident in 50 years, our insurance looks at me as a teenager with no driving history.... insurance is $2,600.00 every year for at least five years. Yet complete coverage insurance on my new Dodge Caravan is less than a $1,000.00 a year. (Canadian dollar is $0,80 USA dollar). But a lovely little bike you have there!
The gass is shot. Just gotten a ZX6R fuel was like that and would run sometimes but very lumpy. Fresh gass and runs a dream
I have zero interest in mopeds, but I love watching you work. In my book, you're the best. I've learned so much from you. Thanks man
That wire cut on the cdi is the governor it makes it slower
Well you please do an update video on the cheap big bore 400ex
If you use a torch on the faded plastic it works really good and lasts at least 8 months I did it to my buddies truck on his bumper and then he sold it about 8 months later and it was still the deep black it should be
Always check oil level before (trying to) starting 🤦🏽♂️ green wire, I agree, overriding the speed limiter, otherwise another fab video
Looks like a nice little scooter for Jade...
Take a propane torch to the faded black plastic and boom new again lol not quite new but looks good again also a heat gun works well not as quick but can control it easier
Look at a 1950s straight eight engine. Some used 6 Volt batteries to turn over the starter to start the engine. Six volts can turn over an engine and start it. BTW, that cut wire was the CDI Rev Limiter. You can go faster with it cut.
Haha not bad little scooter joe only use hand signals though 😉😜 they bleepers are annoying lol good little local run about fill it up and forget about it if you get what I mean Great buy for what it is take care man good video 🔧🔧🔧👍👌
I bought a 150cc scooter for $100, it had been abandoned, attempted theft and the woman had crashed it and failed her license test, it needed tires, brakes, battery, front directionals, intake boot, carb work and its still a rickety old scooter which I adore, I have more into it than it's worth but is ideal around town errands and such, I have a vfr800 for more spirited riding
That was called a Scooter back in my day. A Moped you could peddle like a bicycle or use the motor. That's got the Mo but no ped
Was the auto petrol cut off working good. This can stop it firing. ??. I know im 10 months late but just started watching your feeds. Keep it up ok.
