MOPED ARMY

Post a pic of that broken carb .

And , do a search here for 1977 mopeds .

The broken piece is the fuel inlet. Most bing's use a banjo bolt style. That's a bing 12mm carb, you could buy one off ebay for cheap but be warned that they are crap and the idle adjustment screw is drilled incorrectly so it doesnt hit the slide so its useless. You could use all the parts off the copy to fix your though.

Some carbs have two cables for a push-pull style throttle.

Welcome to our friends to the north and welcome to the madhouse.

Greetings from the Queen City!

Looks to be a Bing 12mm, as mentioned. I hear there are better carbs, for slightly more money, at any of the moped parts places online, like you mentioned.

The bendy straw is where the throttle cable goes in, and hooks under the throttle slide thing, through the spring. There is plenty of info on Bing carbs on this site. You shouldn't have any trouble.

Get it running. Don't put too much cash into it. Ride it hard, have fun!

You can make your own throttle cable if you are industrious enough.

Also, treatland is a great source for parts and more. Seriously.

Ha I saw that on Kijiji I was going to pick it up

The brass inlet could be soldered/brazed back together and made useful . Use silver solder .

Or , any decent hardware store should have a couple variations available for pretty cheap . Brass , plated or plastic .

That's awesome you want to work on it. I wish you luck!

I would also say the steering lock isn't worth it. Just get a beefy bike or moto lock for it. Someone could always throw it in their truck, so that steering lock doesn't do anything, you have to lock it to something.

The other parts can all be aftermarket/generic. I wouldn't suggest that you try to keep it all original, unless it's worthwhile for you somehow.

I figured by the title that your bike was going to have knobbies. Looks cool, you can find those parts easy enough on treats, the inlet is probably a standard straight metric thread, and you will need a fiber gasket for it, and a float bowl gasket, which you should grab a few of because they only work once, and grab a new float needle as the old one is going to leak.

Wait...what's wrong with knobbies haha!

Looks

Instead of trying to find replacement pieces, I'm in the midst of finding a new replacement entirely. I think I found out that seems to be "shipping" from New Jersey but.....the seller is "located" in Hong Kong. Before the alarm bells start ringing, I've sent them a msg verifying that this carb is coming from the US.

I don't really have a problem with ordering stuff from overseas as I've used Wish a few times. It's just the shipping time that sucks from China. According to the eBay posting, the carb is less than a week away from me, so there's that.

Nothing wrong with knobbies, I just figured it was a necessity that far up North.
