We would refuse to work on the pile of poo 💩 we have done in the past in the uk people have had the fold up the list is endless do work on the then open a can of worms fix one thing then theres something else
I always find it interesting when Scooterists use the BODGE name on scoots. Here's why-1-In Vietnam these guyys have 12 family members riding at the same time through the roughest jungle in the world and never break down. 2-Purist collector rider- rides for two hours, blows three cables and can't figure out why his all original scoot constantly has issues. Lol SO is it really the Scoot or the rider that is the issue? Interesting question. I have a bunch of scoots I got from Vietnam Siam, India etc yeah they have been fixed. They for the most part ran fine. The scary secret re welded parts yeah those are tricky haha. But there you have it. Just because it is from India or SE Asia isn't an automatic stamp that it is no good! And wiring well seriously. One can very easily re connect wires and clean contact honestly. Every scooter that comes into my hands for myself or customer I check the wiring regardless. Most shoppes do poor wiring. Sorry Shoppes of the world but yeah you do more damage than the Viets do.Can't count how many times I had customers bring their newly bought Vintage scooters from reputable shoppes then broke down almost immediately and needed me to come tell them someone forgot to connect something lol. By the way M8, love your channel! Great Vids Loads of fun watching and informative love the energy and the passion! Whenever I get these scoots I turn them into Electric Conversions without hesitation. Perfect candidates (who wants to wreck a perfectly all original and running scoot). Plenty of never touched all original Italian Scooter were a shit show on several instances for me. Bought a C Can with 15 scoots all exceptionally expensive and exceptionally re welded, broken as in three motors had to be scrapped, in the roughest shape imaginable but were all "Original" so coin flips but you gonna get what luck gives you period regardless of what part of the world the scoot comes in from
I agree with you. Bodges dont scare me, well riding them might. Ive certainly seen some shady stuff, but I've had a bunch over the years. Trying to keep my feet in two worlds though and calling it what everyone else does. Used to have this buddy (passed) that had a proper sprint bodge. Slathered in bondo but he rode the hell out of it. Went to Amerivespa 08 and rode over lookout mountain with him in Chattanooga, we got so lost we had to jump on the interstate and full throttle it for a solid 20 miles. When it finally did kick the bucket YEARS later and I went in to rebuild the engine I was shocked it had ran as much/well as it did. He would later end up in a wreck (he was fine) where the scoot caught on fire and burned the bondo off the body. It looked like a wok it was so hammered on. I actually still have that body in storage. I always thought of it as a testament to the engineering behind the engine, because that hack ran for years and the inside of that engine looked like someone worked it over with a grinding wheel. It had tin can shims and the gasket was newspaper. I always thought that was old wives tales till I actually saw it. As far as the shops comment... This channel wouldn't exist if they did their job cause its what set me on the path of fixing them myself. Like the old saying goes, if ya want something done right. Do it yourself. Cheers mate!
You do a great job with the bikes. Where did you get your training ???
Another great video, thanks!
I'm assuming that once you replaced or rewired the voltage regulator the electric start was working properly??
you are correct. The voltage regulator had failed and once replaced allowed everything to function properly again.
Questa e uguale a quella di mio babbo negli anni 60,poi prese una rally 200.
