MOPED ARMY

all i have uis the factory one and its too plugged to even run really if i drill it out is that better? and what difference is this gonna make?

ok I'll make sure i get it on there I've already tried everything there is to clean it out. It'll run now with it on but performance is seriously hampered and it takes forever to start. When its off it always fires on the first kick. I guess I'll just drill out what I can of it.

yeah I already tried burning it out that's actually what made it so it would actually run with it. I saved it as a last resort and it was the one that actually did really good. Chrome will need some hard cleansing now but it will work atleast. I guess I'm just gonna drill it out more untill I can get a good pipe for it. What about the other questions any help with those? I think I figured out the clutch slipping, the repair manual says low oil and what do ya know the fill plugs fucked up and leaked all the oil out.

You learn more about stuff when you tune a motor/carb first hand not from a book, just my cents. You look up garellis clutches there alot of problems with them. I wish you luck. Theres a manual the riders site. I think.

yea I need to proof read. damit. I know I saw something about mineral sprints soaking or something with garellis.

thank you for the advice steve I just ordered a 16mm sha from 1977. I am running an airfilter I have the stock unit I just removed the plugs in it to allow more air which i figured 64cc would need. I also just drilled out my pipe pretty good to allow atleast a little more than stock flow and put it back on. I figured out the deal with the head gasket when i was puting it on i had a little trouble centering it when installing it. I had to use a small screwdriver and hold it in place I'll pick up a new one from the junkyard asap. Thanks for the advice.

Well I put my stock pipe on and even with drilling I couldn't get it to start. So I guess I'll be getting a new one someone just emailed me with a possible pipe for it. As for the head gasket I'm running the one that comes with the polini kit should I take it out? The lip on the head is totally gone that the gasket sits on I just centered it the best I could and tightened it down looks pretty even to me.

Anybody wanna buy a garelli? lmao this fuckin thing is pissin me off I guess I should have just left it alone. First I fired it and when I'd give it gas it would bog out and die. So I reinstalled the tubes in the intake thinking it was too lean. Fired right up and ran pretty good nice crisp throttle response. So I take it out for a ride, first of all the clutch slips if I don't really ease into the throttle slowly. Second when I get up to about half throttle and then just give it a little more it dies and wont start for a few minutes. Now it did this three times and then finally it wouldn't start again. Wait a few minutes then it will barely start but not keep running. I really want to get it atleast running good enough that I can do a chop and start tuning this thing but its pissin me off!!!

Well I got it running again today turns out I got some shit in the gas and it clogged the filter and the jet. Cleaned everything out, replaced the carb fuel filter and the in-line filter. Fired right up!! Now I just took it on about a 30 mile ride and everything seemed to run really well. Unless I was taking off up a hill I didnt even pedal it to take off and it works flawlessely.

At higher speeds it seemed to 4 stroke alot but i'm guessing that's just because I'm running it so rich to break the kit in. I can't wait to get it broke in and lean it out a bit and get some good speed. I'd say it was doing about 35-40 at half throttle so once i can get full throttle and tuned it should be pretty good.

It also powers right up hills that i was bog down to about 2mph on before the kit. Even accelerates up most of them!!!
