Thank you so much for your video. I have just gotten one of these on a warehouse, It were there in a corner for over 30 years, and now I have and idea of where I should start looking towards to putting it back on the road. Gretting from Venezuela
It should four stroke downhill because you are taking the load off the engine and she doesn’t need all the gas. Runs great! If she goes as fast or almost as fast slightly uphill as it dies on the flat then your main jet is too big. Just another test to keep in mind.
Nice rescue, good for you. You better check your math.... I was born in 1960, but I'm only 62. LOL. And thank you for your video on the install of the Shad stuff on your Z900rs. It made the install on my 2019 Z900rs Cafe super easy. I got the 39 liter top box and the same small side cases you got. I did disassemble my rear turn signals and cut about 3/8th of an inch off the bulb portion of the stalk, then grind about the same amount off the little post inside, and reassemble. Now there's plenty od clearance between the signal and the side case.
Great little Bikes 50cc..look forward to the next one your going to tackle...Got my first 50cc at 15yrs to..was a Jawa Pionyr type 555 which my dad made me strip it down to the frame & rebuild it to teach me some mechanical skills.. I soon moved to a twin seat version same Make to take the ladies home from school...bit of a mission going up steep hills though..I was wise not to mention the extra weight on the back was the cause...🤣😂
"Suzuki FA50 runs after SITTING for 76 Years!!!" Uh, If it's a 1984, then it would have been 38 years old in 2022. The FA50 is a cool little bike, but it is not a moped, as it has no pedals. Compared to something like a Puch or Tomos, which I've had quite a few of (with pedals) the FA50 is way more complicated, and most of the parts are no longer available. You can still get most of the parts for a Puch or Tomos. The FA50 has a vacuum operated petcock, gas will come out of the PRIME position without the engine running, but the engine has to be running to make gas come out with it in the ON or RESERVE positions. That crap in the carburetor is from ethanol gas. Reed valves can be troublesome. Most moped engines are just plain piston port. The Tomos A35 had reed valves. When they switched to the A55, they got rid of the reed valves, and it was actually faster. 30 mph should be top speed. I wouldn't trust that old oil pump. It's likely deteriorated. I use 40:1 premix in mopeds. You might foul a plug once in a while, but that's better than a blown engine. Thank you for calling it what it actually is. Nothing wrong with a noped, as long as you don't call it a moped. In my state, nopeds require a motorcycle license (which I have) and mopeds don't.
For the Fuel: Fuel will flow freely to the carb on Prime, this is for bikes that have been sitting for a while. Run and Reserve will only let fuel flow when the bike is being started (kicking) or is running.
Un real were do find these things and in very good condition. I will say you can take a piece of 💩 put two wheels on it gas,oil, spark plug and make it run like a swiss watch 😉 🤣.
Didn't realize they made those in 1946. ;)
Me either...... 😂😂
Mopeds. I love them 50cc brute force two-strokes!! 😁 Great job Benny and thank you!!
They're too much fun!! Thanks for checking in Tom!
Ummmmm. That thing hasn’t even existed for 76 years. It was manufactured from around 1980 to 1984

Just picked up two of these for free from my cousin, this is going to be supppper helpful gettin them back up and running

Thanks for all your help!! Amazing how much Ped knowledge you have !!
@@kentuckyyankee sure thing. I meant to say almost as fast slightly uphill as on the flat.
@@jackrutherford-1 I think it's about right ... temp Guage was 350 at highest but it was also about 70 degrees

Maybe 76 in dog years? 😂😂 The Z900RS is an awesome bike and really like Shad luggage, enjoy your bike thanks for watching!!
That fuel petcock works by vacuum off the carb or intake side. Simple machines. At least you know its working.
*38 years :) Nice ped! I own a black '84 FA50 myself, it's a great little machine
Everybody in the family has enjoyed this one Nopeds are awesome!
I friggin love this channel.👍
Thank you!!! 😀
Awesome content, love the title 👊
Thank you!!!
You can find the service manual on Manualslib, it's useful. Put the petcock on ON while driving, not on PRIME
I just bought a air filter for my FA 50, why do I need to soak it in oil and the wring it out?
@SwitchAddict Helps to keep the fine dust out. I'm not sure that you have to do that. It may also make it run just a little richer.

Fix by itself

Cool design it's working well!
Great bike for the little guy maybe
He has been wearing it out! His favorite color is blue. I did have to put him back on the GT80 tho cause the field is beating the little ped to death!
76 years lol
Thats got to be the dirtiest carb ive seen.
76 years ha

😂😂 Thanks!! I get lucky finding these rigs sometimes!
Not too good at math there are ya ?
I do my best 😂😂
