They seem to do the job mate.

I am rather pleased with it 😁

Thanks, however, the power supply has now blown up and I am in an argument with the supplier as to who is liable for the cost of returning it.

@@motorcyclejunkie7564 If it's found to be a manufacturing fault then the supplier would have to reimburse any costs. Best to talk to citizens advice tho Karl.

Another great video wish they where more often

@@mikeferrett195 I wish I could spend more time in the shed making them mate.

Yes thanks, I kind of figured it out later in the video but nice to get the confirmation.

Thank you, if everyone thought the same I might be a millionaire!

Weird we are both doing the same bike at the same time. Mine might slow down a tad though as just got another project bike. It will be on the channel soon.

We appreciate your videos how bad would they be to watch if you didn't do any editing so it would save you time ,keep up the good work Carl

@@mikeferrett195 Probably quite long.

😂

Absolutely, but space is my issue.

Thanks mate, slow ole job though.

@motorcyclejunkie7564 as I said before you need an apprentice

Hopefully give it a bit of weather protection as well.

😂

@@yorkiecol7973 Yeah that’s odd, not sure what it didn’t like about your comment. Swing arm now on, probably be in the next video.

I see what you mean, but close up they are quite different. For example, my Mobylette has a separate engine and gearbox.

Yes, but channel has slowed to a crawl.

@@motorcyclejunkie7564 mine too mate. Picking up subs in ones and twos and my views are way down.

Mobylette/Motobecane were a huge company back in the 60's/70's.

Yes, I had the amps too high, voltage unimportant but high amps causes issues.

Yes its tricky, but get the engine up on blocks and lower the frame down onto it.

Yes, quite expensive but at least I have all the gear for future projects. I am getting good results now. I accepted at the start that the GPZ build was going to cost more than the finished bike would be worth but I am not doing it for profit. Glad you like the content.

@@Gyrolios Nice. Not going to powder coat?

Thanks mate, useful to know.

Thanks, yes getting really good results now, so many restorations are done to a good standard but with crusty old bolts, this addresses that issue. Started on the re-assembly and will upload videos soon. Not sure what you mean by “Mobilnet”?

Sorry I meant that lovely moped I can’t remember it’s name

You mentioned that you might take a few bits off it and tidy it up.

@@jimbo9310 Ah the Mobylette! Yes I would, if I had the time then maybe a complete strip and rebuild, but no rush to do that.

Thanks, it was interesting doing it.

Think I have it sorted now, been getting some great results off camera.

Cheers

Thanks mate, I do what I can.

Indeed, quite pleased with them. Going to try "bluing" some of them that don't need to be shiny in a later video.

@@yorkiecol7973 I haven’t removed anything buddy. What was it?

@@motorcyclejunkie7564 hi, I watched the video saw what you you were doing so offered some suggestions on how to proceed having completely rebuilt 3 of these bikes already, I also made a suggestion on where you could get further help when required. 10 mins after posting the comment had been deleted .sorry but I thought it was you who had deleted it.

Can I have a UA-cam shout out next video 😊

@@projectclark123 If I remember!

@@yorkiecol7973 No mate, never deleted a commented from anyone, ever. Appreciate the help though, repost if you can remember.

No, engine removal is not necessary. If you look at the shaft you will see it has flat sides to enable you to get a spanner on it. Just unscrew it and screw in a new one, however, it is a reverse thread, so will unscrew in the direction of what would normally be tightening.

Probably not going to sell to be honest, virtually irreplaceable. Just out of interest, what condition is the one you have and the one you sold? I see them so rarely, but 2? Wow! Has yours got the leg shields? They took some finding and even then it took me along time to find the fixing brackets. On the look out for a spare relay box, nothing wrong with mine but they are so rare it would be nice to have a spare.

@@motorcyclejunkie7564 the one I sold was very tired, but it was running a 65cc kit and genuine Dellorto PHBG carb and absolutely flew. The replacement is in good condition, tank inside is a lot better condition, strangely Chrome wasn't so I swapped all the good parts around before selling the other. The engine is sweet and starts first kick, but I'm going to rebuild it with new seals etc. it has wonderful additions put on it by the previous owner which I love and make it part of what it is. Including a badly adapted 94tt high level exhaust. (It has an original with it too). I have two spare gearboxes 😀

It turns more heads than any bike I have.

It makes little sense keeping it as I do about 40 miles a year on it, but it’s totally irreplaceable so makes no sense selling it either. But keeping it anyway.

I had a Raleigh Runabout when I was 16, red, rusty as hell and leaked more petrol than it used, but I thought I was super cool on it 😎

@@motorcyclejunkie7564 I eventually upgraded to a garelli rekord which was faster than my mates Fizzy and a lot cheaper 🤣

Cannot remember to be honest, this was 2 years ago. I don't think taking the airbox out is a good idea. You would have to replace it with something, I assume you are thinking cone filters? If so, this will let more air in so you will then have to think about re-jetting. also, they are susceptible to wet weather. I would suggest you clean and service the carb as that is clearly where your issue is.

They can be a pain to remove, cannot show you though as this bike is long gone.

That could be some time, hopefully before I retire!

You're right, that's what I did in the end.

So close but so far!

@@jimbo9310 soon, very soon!

@@IkechukwuOkafor-rj1mw ?

Not yet, I have kind of put it on the back burner whilst I get on with the other machine.

@@motorcyclejunkie7564 I got mine sorted bout 2 hours ago just used the CDI unit off the engine I took the bits off fired straight up

@@JamesCochrane-sl1wz Nice, I think mine is related to the neutral light, will eventually get back on it.

Cheers mate, appreciate your support.👍

@@maxgood4361 Possibly, but it is incredibly tight in there, it also needs to be torque set which you could not do with a bent spanner. Still not done with it though.

@@yorkiecol7973 Nah, reading the manual takes all the fun out of it. I like playing!

Just keep looking on Facebook Marketplace, eBay etc, you might get lucky. I have a pair of wheels if they are any use?

I remember it well!

I think you are right, hard to get at the conrod cap bolts, but it was worth a try.

Yeah I knew there was something like that, I wonder if it can be overcome for the purposes of testing the gears?

@@motorcyclejunkie7564 not really the balls move out under centrifugal force.
