MOPED ARMY

Parts gathering, including lights, Bars, cables, Speedo. wiring harness, engine etc.

touched up paint on the rims and installed new tires and tubes, Installed correct fork insides to accept sport chrome fender,

installed 2 speed pedal shaft And NOS seat

That looks like a Ken Roff stash of Magnums, are you a Roffschild?

Yeah probably be here till this virus thing is over and I’m supposed to use my own account now

I have to wonder just how anyone can think this 'virus thing' will be over before death ?

It has changed life as we know it , forever .

Remember September 11 , 2001 .

C-19 is much more diabolical .

Everything changes , always .

Wheels, fender and rear light are on. Changed the rear sprocket too.

Was told I could could plunder the used parts bins and a new 35 tooth rear sprocket was in one. Never changed a sprocket on this 10 spoke type mag wheel only a flake wheel that has only 4 sprocket bolts and all of a sudden all these square nuts started coming out from everywhere from hub when removing the old sprocket bolts. Holding them to restart them was a bitch and it took pretty long time to change the sprocket

Dads dumb hundred year old Puch manual Shows nothing about the wiring because wiring goes by magneto number. What do I know what magneto is going to be on the engine. It’s going to be a za50 of some year But who knows he’s got a pick one out of the pile and go through it first.

I wanted a easy e50 but he said no to the “entry level” engine and we don’t have any rebuilt ones laying around anyway. This E50 case on it now is what we use for a kickstand. There’s no coil mount on frame for a 2 speed MKII coil and the only harness I have is for a MKII so I guess that’s a another project for dad who didn’t wanna be bothered with this thing to begin with.

Stock wiring is very simple like my dad said it goes right in the place, Brake light switches light switches, horn. headlight, rear lights will all lineup.

But you need to have the handlebars and the controls on the handlebars something like this on first

The handlebars were another story. Some dummy stripped out or drilled out all the holes on the triple tree fork plate so the handle bar counter sunk Allen screws wouldn’t hold the Bar clamps. So I had to drill it out a little bit more and dig to find longer bolts washers and nuts from several coffee cans get the bars to clamp good which took way too long.

.

Yeah and the wiring goes into a wiring connector like this

and then in goes from the wires from the coils from the engine. it’s pretty simple but I’m gonna need to dig for a better connector or clean this one real good.

The plastic switches should all be replaced. we do have new plastic NOS ones that needs soldering. yuck I’m not very good at that. but then all the switch bases are all cracked and broken and this was supposed to be a build with no ordering of parts or no help except for engine and tuning. Maybe I could glue some bases back together.

Moped stuff is more work than it seems it should be but I’ll be doing a little bit here and there and will get done.

Dad says it’s going to be is za50 Engine and we’re going to try out several to see how the-bearings sound!

He don’t know yet but I’m going skank His low mi 49 mph, 14mm binng carb? His 45mm dmp kit. with his custom hand milled head and mild pipe that was on a build that somebody wanted to make slow stock After it scared the crap out of them when he took it for a test drive and then a month later they wanted they wanted to put it back on and didn’t want to pay extra for it, He told him to pound salt wanted $150 more.

Don’t say anything to him because he just got his face in the one air conditioner we got And it’s hot and humid outside!

It’s so hard to believe that my father went through 200 or so to cycle two-stroke bikes and go I got to ride some of them.

I never got to build some of them from nothing but it’s kind of cool but yet kind of sucks Because I like tuner cars And my father says tuner cars will never have the life of normally aspirated V8 car Vintage Waze!

Duh do you ever watch YouTube drift400 ? That’s not dad. My dad is a box of rocks when it comes to computer shit. Well not a box of rocks but maybe a half a box of rocks but lifetime he could survive in the woods Living off the land and blow me and all young Internet basement dwellers phone in face people away!

You're are not making sense. I haven't watched the videos, but just checked your link and there are vids of the Mazda 323 like Ken has posted before. And you type like him too.

Did all I’m going to do for now, got car to work on. Most all controls, cables and everything on Working but not adjusted prefect

Many NOS or very good condition parts were used but digging through 20 year old boxes and bins for best parts took longer then putting them on.

I had help with the harness and headlight because the wiring it Inside was a close fit and any corrosion from frame had to be removed for good grounds

A lot still needs to be done, both chains and Front sprocket. wiring harness and wire holder has to be connected to the engine wires and things. spark coil placement still not figured out yet.

Needs a speedo and holder found and put on. The engine Needs a test cylinder pipe and carb but can’t find any stock test cylinders with pistons yet, Engine to be run tested and gone through before a bore kit is put on. I had three Za bottoms to pick from. hope I picked a good one that don’t need a full rebuild. it had fluid in it and had 1,100 mi on it was told.

I wanted dad’s way testing bearings and crank by taking trans parts out and rope start without trans parts hearing for bearing and crank noises but he just said run it the way it is. then Clutch flip, shift discs replaced only no full rebuild. We may use bike to test the other za engines to see how they sound after we find matching stock test cylinder and piston but it’s a pain on puch because the kickstand is part of the engine.

More stuff like flywill and light coils Removed checked out and other assorted things before mild kit, pipe and side covers go on then all tuned Up but at least the bike is starting to look like a nice bike considering it looked like this before

Looking good!

Cool!

2 roffs on MA... Just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any weirder!

He was always on here and made many for sale ads for me on buy+sell he is in his Early 20s and he’s been riding since age 11 or 12 My other older son has been on here too on my account and a friend had access for awhile too but not now.

It took awhile but my sons finally taught how to take take pictures and post them and other stuffs all videos he still does to Utube

I don’t use any of his accounts and he don’t use mine, We took all the the auto passwords off our shared devices and made new ones for other things because so much hacking nowadays
