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?
Very funny 😅
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
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 👌
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. $$$$
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
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!
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.
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!
Remove the turn signal beeper fer shur ... hide it inside chucks dash and wire it to his signal relay or brake switch 🤫🤫
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.
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.
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 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...
Such an awesome video man! I love coming home after a hard day to watch a new 2vintage video!
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
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.
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.
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😌
Good old GY6 50cc motor. GY6 engines are plentiful and very strong engines.
It's adorable, I want one! Very cool seeing it nursed back to health.
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)
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
Is there anything you can't fix ? I enjoy your channel ! Look forward to your next project !!
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
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!
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.
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.
Hi
Here in the UK kid cut a wire (pink I am told) this wire restricts the top speed (cuts spark at high rpm)
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
I found that if you get the proper air pressure in the tires it goes a little faster
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
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.
As soon as I looked at this scooter, I thought get the old crappy gas out of it before even turning it over. And check to see if there is any oil in it. Those were my first two initial thoughts.
The green wire is the rpm restrictor wire, to solder it together had nothing to do with firing this thing up. The spark was uneven on the first check for spark, because the plug wasn't grounded well enough. If the wrong wire had been cut, there would be no spark at all. My own scooter has two restrictors, one for MPH, that cuts the RPM back to 6800 @ 28 mph and if the wind is right, the road is right, you might hit 30. The second actually has a plug connection to be about to remove the cv cover, that limits max rpm to 7200. Its easy to pull out the wire at the cdi, and it can be pushed back in, no damage done. Obviously, unplug the second. This lets the thing free rev to over 9000 rpm, though in riding the bike, it rarely hits 8000, It hovers a lot around 7200 or even less, but the ability to rev lets the cvt close up, then you can pull the throttle back, is why. It hits 8000 or 8200 on long down hill wot. Just riding around town, there is more pull either way, but isn't much difference in power, if to just pull the wire at the cdi or to pull both restrictor wires. But in more open road riding is where the second disconnect is noticed. It can hit near 40 this way. However I have not as yet touched the cvt. This bike I've owned for less than a year, it's barely getting broken in.
Glad you got it running, at least !!
This is what I’m talking about !!!! Keep up the great work
I was gonna say they cut the wire for a reason to get more speed but awesome videos keep it up
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.
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
You should do a performance build on this I been watching other videos were they have been getting very good results.
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 ...
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.
That green cable going to your CDI is the Revlimiter cable it’s like a governor that’s why they cut it has nothing to do with your spark
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.
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.
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.
Might be smart to have something like that on hand with gas prices the way they are. Here in the Lake Tahoe area it's been a steady $5.59 per gallon and it's not even summer yet.
Such prices for gas are wonderful!
Here in europe it is about 9,19$ per Gallone. So, you are a lucky guy.
@@alessiolukas5219 wow
its 4.69 in pa
Its fun to listen usa people getting angry about gas prices. Here in finland gallon costs 8.4 euros and its going up all the time. I would love your prices.
Part of the problem here is we didn't have that before all of this political nonsense. None of us should be financing a war we don't want nor padding pockets of the politicians which is what we're doing.
@@Hanky_Bannist8r same in europe. It's an increase of 30%.
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
I see it pretty often, people want to call these mopeds. They aren't. They are scooters. A mopeds has pedals, a scooter doesn't.
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!
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
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!
I had a 50cc 4 stroke moped and the wire was also cut , found out it de restricts the bike ect
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 man is just a walking W
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 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
I had a Yamaha Zuma the governor is part of the cdi somebody tried to remove the governor.
Also I quick bit of heat will return the plastic back to new.just don't melt it.
You never said if it was 2 stroke
clearly hear the sound of a 4t and the exhaust is another visual hint of the 4t chinese junk lol
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.
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
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
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
You can use a Hot paintstripper for the black surfaces
Best way to make plastic like new is little heat works great
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
When something hasn't ran in years just know the carb will be gunked up
Yes do more.
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.
Not to be that guy but when you solder don’t heat the solder to the iron heat the wire up and put the solder on the hot wire it takes longer but it’s a lot stronger

maybe they cut the wire because it was rev limiter etc. I remember cutting some wires from cdi on scoorets to bypass revlimiter. just guessing.
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.
2k miles is actually up there for a china scooter but I had one with almost 8k! That still ran if you take care of them keep the oil changed they will last a while
Lol just like anything and I am. Gonna start post mine two I. My story
Cut the wire again and take the restrictor out of the exhaust!
Always check oil level before (trying to) starting 🤦🏽♂️ green wire, I agree, overriding the speed limiter, otherwise another fab video
Love your videos so relaxing.
That wire is probably the governor if I had to guess. Usually a pink or purple wire though
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 like the color you will have a blast in the summer time with it
Pledge "Reviv it" works great on dull plastics too!
You know you have to heat the wire up with the soldering iron then melt the solder into the wire if the wire isn't hot enough the solder won't even adhere to the wire I don't know what you were doing but it's correct
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
Sweet little ride, for some lucky kid.
Dewd, she's beauty run. It will get 100 MPG but 10-15% evaporates.
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
Those little Gy6 Engines are awesome.
Your a great technician and your camera is always in the best spot for us to see. Are you in Michigan
I was 14 years old and had the same scooter, drove it all around Florida and New York! So memorable for me … but
I hve to watch my kids moped all the time, last time it did 85mph he is only allowed to go 28mph i think that's right. The market to change them is huge.
Easy way to check is the bulbs 12 or 6 volts on foreign machines info sometimes scrubbed off the battery👍
I been wanting to see a video of you working on a moped 50cc ones especially
2 more hours I finish night shift then I can’t wait to watch this , YAHTZEE !! 😂😂❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼
did you finish
@@memasys4068 1 hour to go 😂
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.
That wire cut on the cdi is the governor it makes it slower
use a blow torch over faded black plastic it brings it back to new
Looks like a nice little scooter for Jade...
Saved her from the jaws of death with just some know how and effort . 👌 Hey don't be embarrassed riding Ole Yeller...Hell at those gas prices I'd ride past the Tahoes and gas gulpers and laugh my ass off . PK
Well you please do an update video on the cheap big bore 400ex
It’s funny because I’ve ridden a few dirt bikes/quads and owned a bike. But Nothing seems to beat my scooter on a fun factor level. I have a 2 stroke 50 genuine roughhouse. You can just go anywhere on them and there not threatening at all to any new rider. There also the ultimate dicking Around vehicle imo. I’ve gotta lot of good stories of bombing around in places that you shouldn’t with my friend lmao
An excellent buy. (2,000 miles over 9 years? Not even 5 miles per week)... Cost to put it back on the road? Some carb cleaner...
Very cool save. Those used to be great on big college campuses, not sure if they “allow” them these days👍👍👍
