I just put in 15.15 AV7 SHA carburetor In my 1979 Moby. Probably a sillyquestion but it is reviving. Loosened the throttle cable a bit. Was wondering could the choke cable also be to tight? Maybe throttle cable stilL to tight? Thank you for any advice.Bks

I did find an air leak here it was a metal to metal connection. Fixed and it runs Much better:))Though this bike has much less power than my 1979 motobecane ... I can only barely make it up a hill need to pedal. I have a main jet of 64 on this carburetor.If I play with the throttle I can get more or less power.. didn’t do the points yet ..Any thoughts?Thank you for any help

I Am new to the moped world just picked up a running puch. There is no power at slow speed if there is any incline at all? It just Boggs down to almost a stop. Once I get rolling 15mpr there is definitely more power. Was wondering what I should look for. To get power at lower speeds. Thank you for any ideas
