I'm googling it, but not finding this specifically; where is that located?

I've cleaned out the carb, new fuel line, new plug (gapped to .30).I've checked the spark, it's fine. The compression seems alright (don't have a tester, but it passed the finger test fine) and exhaust isn't restricted or anything.It will start up with one little kick sometimes and run fine. I was riding it up and down the street and topped out around 24-26 mph (according

Cleaning the fuel/line is a must, I know at least that!I'll check for the idle screw, I figured there was some sort of idle adjustment.Thanks for the quick reply! Pics come soon.

I bought a Garelli SSXL today, in pretty damn good condition. It starts right up, but doesn't really idle; it just dies. I'm guessing cause it was sitting so long?The photos look great. Last was on the road back in '85. I paid $400 for it, does that sound like a good deal?What would be the cause of this? I'm guessing the carb needs to be cleaned out, but any other maintenance t

Mick - The chain is pretty rusty. I'll soak it in oil overnight and see how it does, though.How would I go about disabling the premix? The oil is located under the seat, btw.Thanks for the help!

I got my first Moped, well, a noped. A Targa. $200 bucks, with a helmet. There were about 30 of the Targas for sale, a total of five were running. They ranged from 300 miles to 20,000 miles. Out of the five that ran, the one I got ran the best. Didn't stall, started right back up first kick. It running was a big condition, seeing as I had to ride it to get it back home. If that weren't t

Hey, just curious which spark plug to get for my Tomos Targa A35?

I don't know how good you are with electrical, but a hidden master switch isn't a bad idea. Make it easily accessible but not easily found. If you don't hit the switch, nothing on the bike gets power. You could also do something as simple as loosening the plug wire.It also can't hurt to have some 'hidden' identification markings on the bike incase it does get stolen,

Wow, I appreciate all the replies! Lots of good advice, thanks.I think I'm going to go with pf19's suggestion and buy a brand new Tomos Sprint. I've read great things about them and doing a few bolt-on mods seems pretty easy and cheap. For a few hundred more than what I was originally thinking for something 20+ years newer, it seems like a pretty good deal.I know I ask alot of n00b

Wow, thanks for all the help!Lets say that I do end up buying a Tomos Sprint brand new; what's the potential on upgrading that? I do decently with car repairs and such, a moped should be a little easier.Also, anyone in MA know a good place to buy 'em?

I just found a Puch Korado on CL. Any suggestions on that? The guy wants 725, maybe I could talk him down a little.

I feel it's a little steep too. The whole thing is I'm getting about 8k in bonuses at work, and I have absolutely nothing to spend it on. The mopeds that I've looked at in the 400 or so price range aren't in as good condition, or need a brake cable or something along those lines. One needed a clutch, some don't run.I'll go and look at it regardless, and might buy it i

Hi, I'm Lance. 22 from Plymouth, MA. I'm looking to buy a moped soon.I have my eye on one a little north of boston. Guy wants 800$ firm for a 1977 Puch Maxi. It's a 50cc, 2 stroke, from talking with the guy and the pictures it looks pristine! Seats two, 2 HP engine, factory decals in place. Says it has 500 miles on it.Wondering if it's a good deal? I know it's hard to jud
