MOPED ARMY

What happens if you try and lean out the idle? Turning it in I can see why it would rev up as it does. What happens if you try turning it out?

maybe the fuel float has got a hole in it and it is flooding but when you open the throttle enough it takes off mopeds are pretty on off with the throttle anyway all or nothing. Take the float out and hold it up to the light and see if its got fuel inside it. good luck and hey i need to know what plug type and points gap i need for my pug 102 1974 model and by the way do you need the rear light to work for it to run?

Dos it idle fine on the stand?

If yes, you clutch is the problem, it took me a while to figure out how to put together clutch the corect way.

I like Peugeot mopeds, they did very good job designing that moped.

This is a common Peugeot problem. The cause is an air leak where the carb mounts onto the intake. Spray carb cleaner on that area while the engine is revving...if it dies, there's your problem. I'd bet a Franklin that's what it is. Solution is to seal the leak...I use liquid gasket despite warnings that it could be sucked into the intake. Works very well.
