MOPED ARMY

1. SEARCH. Seriously. Not being mean or anything. If you want to learn about moby's this is the perfect place, and hundreds of people have been in your shoes already, so look in the forums and Wiki for info. All your questions can be answered easily by searching for a couple hours. Keep in mind that the wiki has a huge wealth of info on mobys, so use it!

2. Ditch the gurtner carb and get an SHA. Do not be totally sold on the 15.15; it will kill your low end a bit but give you reliabilty, simplicity and some mid/top end. Look around and consider a 14.12 carb as well.

3. 35-40 is easyily done on stock parts: Currently I am running about 40 or a bit better RELIABLY on a ported stock 30mph cylinder and a dellorto carb, stock exaust and matched case. Similar results are easy with a 25mph cylinder too. Get yer dremel out!

4. Hardwire hardwire hardwire. No excuses. It will make your life easier and more fun. Look in the wiki. Also look at Mabecane's website for a guide on putting in a new condensor.

5. If you are inexperienced with mopeds and engines in general, I urge you to take a step back from thinking about AV10's quite yet. Not to discourage you, but dropping bux on expensive AV10 goodies is a bad way to introduce yourself to mopeds. Why skip all the fun of learning stock AV7's? They can be great, and are a perfect engine to learn on. Master the basics before moving on to master blaster status

6. New cables: Yes New throttle assembly: only if it is broken; most likely it will be fine. Drop the variator down to 2 balls; clean everything and lubricate. It takes a lot of work to revive an old moby, but the results are worth the work. If you have specific quetions don't hesitate to email me

Is the belt beat up and old??

READ. Period. Just read about it and you will figure it all out. And by "porting" I mean enlarging the intake an exhaust. Case matching refers to matching the case transfers to the transfers in the cylinder.

To me it sounds like your gurtner carb. the choke is very critical realy critical. after the motobecane is running like yours is you have about 1/8th in to play with. start the moped and start driving down the road and start fouling around with the lever on the left hand side thats the choke. you can loosen it or tighten it but very little to much it will cut off and to less it well cut off. this happens on all my gurtner carbs but there very reliable when you get them running. if you get rid of it contact me.

but this usually the choke if it not its a whole nother thing but i bet it the carb
