MOPED ARMY

your friends are right and you are TERRIBLY wrong.

TERRIBLY WRONG!

I would like another opinion please. :)

Tell your friends to shut the hell up you are right. On my westlake the little lever even has choke written on it.

There isn't a way to activate the decompression valve without going thru and to the clutch. If this is how yours is set up, congradulations, it's the first time I've ever heard of it not beeing totally screwed up....For some reason, pinheads always get ahold of a sachs and ruin the set up, and it runs shitty for them.

Don't take any lip, man.

swarm and destroy

ahh it's you... I always wondered who it was that got those auctions on ebay. I'm just glad to see that you actually have mopeds, and are on this forum. I thought it was a sachs shop secretly hording parts....;)

It's all in good fun.

Okay, ignorant is a strong, strong word. Remeber, I love these guys, they are my freinds, and members of the moped army. :)

chad likes to hoard mopeds. ;-) ... he's in a decepticon from kzoo ... but he does seem to have too many mopeds. :-(

but chad knows his mopeds and i remember also hearing that some sachs (if not all) have manual chokes.

your friends are dumb!! ;-) just kidding. i don't think any other mopeds have chokes in the handlegrips. so it'd make sense to think it was a decompression cable. but ... if the cable goes to the choke ... then why even ask? ;-)

It's loquacious boy, from ebay! You bid on a lot of the Sachs stuff I do.

I sould really dumb for asking this, because I always mix them up, but what is the lever I hold, when I'm pedaling my Sachs, to start it. Choke? Clutch? I know it's not the decompression. I don't know actually. I always forget which one that is. I just know it's not the "carb" lever : )

What was the disagreement again? I never really remember taking an official viewpoint on anything.

; )

I'm going to bed!

Brian! I've been trying to reach you to ask if you have ever found, or have to sell,any Motomarina Sebring or Motobecane Sebring parts.I would have written but I didn't know your e-mail address.

don, I know casey has some Motobecane parts, but they are for a 51v. It's been in my garage for a couple weeks now, and I see it everyday. :)

Yeah,Crisis! The MOTOBECANE Sebring is a totally different animal than the Motobecane 51V.The Sebring looks exactly like the Motomarina Sebring except it usually has the MO2 engine whereas the Motomarina has the Minarelli or Morini single speed usually.The 51V is a nice bike though.I owned a Moby,but sold it last year to a Frenchman who was glad to get it.

Hey, I've been trying to get ahold of casey without any luck, I am interested in the motobecane 51 engine and exhaaust, if you have the chance email me.

I was not aware I was so infamous... lol.

hey chad!

well, i DO have the exhaust for the 51V... but you called me ignorant (im one of chris's friends in question)...

its a shame, too... that exhaust is PERFECT! all shiny and clean... haha... =]

i think i may just fix up that motobecane myself anyways now.. its starting to clean up pretty well and i got the engine unseized and whatnot... i really dont need much more than a carb and chains and belts.. and time... and time... oh, and a head gasket.

casey

Hey,Chad! Glad you answered.I'm specifically looking for another MO2 engine complete if possible,with good gears and clutch.I want to mount it on my 3rd Motomarina Sebring.Do you have one?If so,what condition is it in and where are you located?There are also a few body parts I would like.The plastic fairings that run from the engine to the rear wheel ?Thanks!

Hey casey, I said ignorant, not stupid. Ignorance is not knowing any better. If you are up to selling the parts let me know. thanks,

Chad
