i have a tomos targa lx, and recently, a bearing or some thing broke in the transmission. Apparently, it took a chunk of metal out of the seal betweeen the transmission, and part the the crankshaft is in. I got an estimate of 250 if he can fix the seal, and 600, if he has to get a new trannsmission case. I really dont know what to do at this point.
try and find a parts engine, call akron mopeds, and see if they have a used one, or try and and find a trashed out tomos to buy as a parts bike. then, if you feel comfortable doing the repair yourself get a manual and just get to it. you can get a whole new moped for 600 bucks , that seems a bit high.

Sounds like you have been shopping in the wrong places. From your descrition it sounds as though your rh main bearing or the one way roller clutch (looks like a bearigng) have dammaged the rh seal and or the pocket that the seal sets into.. Worst case scenerio you would need a new set of engine casings(new, they are only sold as a pair), all of the seals and gaskets you are looking at under $160.00 for new and about $75.00 in parts if you go with just a used right hand case and all nw seals and gaskets. . Any respectable repair shop would charge about $100.00 to do the installation . Bearings and such will add somewhat to the price but any dealer that offers to do $600.00 worth of work to your engine is Either incompetent or a rapist.

Man, for $600 I can get a 5-geared racing engine (without piston cylinder and head) for my Honda SS50.
Those oilseals only cost a few bucks a piece, a brandnew Daytona 4-gear racing gearbox costs about $200 so a simple Mobylette gearbox should be less and installing a new gearbox will take no more than 3 hours of work ... $45 an hour plus $200 in parts ... $335 for a complete new gearbox installed with new oilseals.
You're being ripped off!
u know what i'd do slick selll ur tomos as a part bike and get a nice reliable cheep puch then when or if it breaks u wont feel bad about fixing cuz u wouldnt have wasted money on buying a broken bike that and puch's are less complicated
Yeah, but a puch cant go 60 mph, like my tomos can.
wanna bet?
the only way a puch MIGHT go that fast, is if it had the 2 speed tranny, a 27 tooth sprocket, and a bore kit, a rider that weighs like 60 pounds, and all the luck in the world. I'm not saying that a puch cant go 60, but i think it is very unlikey.
umm no i have my baffels out it leaned out good i weigh 110lbs and a 29 tooth sprocket
