MOPED ARMY

Have you adjusted the needle settings (moved the needle clip up/down)?

hmm ok so i just tried 2 different coils. madass 50 coil and a puch coil. both didnt change anything. however i did notice i have very weak spark. i need to be pushing the bike atbout 3-4 mph before she will even begin to spark. i held the spark plug in my hand and it didnt fuck me up. i felt it, and it was uncomfortable. but it felt like a normal shitty old ped. it didnt feel like my mb5 or my korado with cdi. those fucking hurt.

i have adjusted the gap between the rotor and the pickup and the coil. nothing seems to do much. maybe i need to sand the fuck out of the pickup and coil? its wierd cause i have talked to people who had no problem with this stuff right out of the box.

this is probably not your problem, but what kind of spark plug wire are you using? stuff from an auto parts store or small engine shop? You cant use graphite core on a moped, not enough juice from the coil. needs to be solid core.

The thickness of an index card shoved into the air gap and then tighten the screws down makes for a minimal air gap. The chinese capacitor could be faulty but I don't want to put to many variables into this. High tension lead is just a spark plug wire. Extension cord wire works good

man, sounds like ignition to me, just breaking up real bad. i think it would be dam near impossible to 4 stroke the whole way thru the rpm range, even if it was too rich/lean it would HAVE to run decent at some point in the throttle opening (0-1/4, 1/4-1/2....) how close is your coil to the CDI? i have heard/ read about too much magnetic interference fucking them up. try to move the coil as far away as possible, or throw points back in just to confirm. either way i put 20.00 on an ignition problem. piston in the right way? i was in a rush once and just before i bolted the head on, the arrow was in the wrong direction. just a thought.....

It sounds electrical to me, but if it is a fuel problem, check your float level. Too much fuel in the bowl can cause you to run rich!

sooooo how do i figure out where the proble,m is? i can buy a multimeter, would that help? i gotta get sthis problem solved fast guys.

yeah thats the backup plan, only i have already lightened my clutch and main gear in anticipation of internal rotor ignition, would be a HUGE shame to waste this setup.

i just bought a multimeter, going to read up on how to use it to check if any parts are malfunctioning.

dude ur condensor is shot, well thats if u are running points.

hmm cdi = not working, try a different cdi box. Are you using a cdi coil, cuz the cdi on mobys will not run w/o the correct coil.

throw them points back on and see if u still have the same prob just to make sure its electrical

BTW i'm going to blast ur 50cc w/my 50cc

dude, it should talk you 10 minutes max to swap that stator plate in for a test. fuck a multimeter.

bike runs properly = your cdi is fucked.

I agree that it's electrical.

Since it's working at all, I would assume the pickup and sensor are fine. Try a different cdi box (borrow one from somebody in town?), or check it with points back on like elliot said.

well once i put normal ignition on, turns out it is really lean. i have a 96 in there and its still too lean. i have maybe a MINOR leak. did carb cleaner test and i was able to change rpms slightly but not kill the bike. soo the 4 stroking of the bad cdi box must have caused a normal plug reading with the 80-90 range in it. i dont have anything biger than a 96 so i have started drilling jets out. fuck this bike is soo not gonna be good enough for the rally. FUCK 50cc and their stupid dutch fucking asses. i ordered a hpi like 5 months ago now? fucking dutch fuck fucks. sorry im really pissed right now.

doesnt 96 seem huge too? this is only 50ccs, yes it has massive exhaust and transfers but really? 96+? seems crazy.

usually electronics either work or not.. id be more tempted to think its a wiring problem.. but yet im not sure so just do what the others said.

i don't need my hpi want your problems to dissapear? haven't used it very much looks new, works perfect.
