It's a regular 50v, 1976 and bright yellow (not that the color matters, just sayin...). On the forks under the speedo assembly, where the horn goes on most puch bikes, there's a chunk of metal with cooling fins on it. It has a single wire leading to it, and it's about the size of a deck of cards. What could it be? My other moby, a 1980, doesn't have one.

Re: 1976 moby unidentified part
A diode, regulator or rectifier most likely.
Re: 1976 moby unidentified part
It is probably a Zener Diode. When the voltage in the system gets too high the diode dumps the excess voltage to the finned body.
Re: 1976 moby unidentified part
zener diode, normal mounted under the headlamp, on 6v models only. Thats why your 1980 doesnt have one.. its 12v
Re: 1976 moby unidentified part
Whee, so that's to keep me from blowing headlamps then? Awesome....assuming it still works.
