I like to replace the return line from the carb to the tank with clear tubing. That way you can see that there is fuel returning to the tank and you know the pump is working as it should.

Ever seen a 323 GTX? Too bad they're super rare.

You could replace the baffle, but it would require welding and fabrication since it looks like the whole end has fallen off. The estoril is my favorite pipe for Tomos.

It's easier to find tires in 15".

I can't get to it at the moment, but mine has the long pipe and I'm pretty sure there is a tubular bracket that is welded to the frame just under the swing arm pivot.

It wouldn't surprise me if they were "Samples" direct from china from some failed business venture and never even had a title issued. Honestly people would probably buy them for parts, especially if the batteries are any good.

The engine is actually a clone of the fairly obscure Honda People.

They look like they came off some type of Kreidler Florett. They had big brakes, I'm not sure which ones had drum brakes on the front, RM, RMC?

It sure looks like you have the coil connected directly to the stator, which isn't going to fly. The thing you have marked A and B is the neutral safety switch. I'm not familar with pit bike wiring, but there should be tons of wiring diagrams online, you just have to find the one specific to that engine. https://tboltusa.com/store/tech.php?pID=57/Wiring+With+Lights

You can swap a pedal start bottom end on there easily and cheaper than sourcing the pedal start transmission parts. The vin number however will still show that the bike is a kick-start model, and I'm not sure if that's what the DMV goes by.

23" is the old measuring system, the tires would be considered 19" by the "modern" moped/motorcycle sizing and are readily available : https://www.treatland.tv/SearchResults.asp?Search=19+tirehttps://www.treatland.tv/SearchResults.asp?Search=19+inner+tube

What's the compression?

Bicycle tires are measured by the rough outside diameter of the inflated tire, and moped and motorcycle tires are measured by the rim diameter.The best way to compare bicycle tires is to use the ISO number. Lets say your 18" bicycle tire has an iso of 57-355. That tells you the bead diameter is 355mm or 13.9764 inches. So that tire fits a rim that is almost 14" diameter.

That adjustment sets the preload, it won't make the shock longer.

When it was wrecked the wheel probably cocked to the side and caused the fork stop to bend. I would weld the stress crack on the stop, but it's not a big issue right now.I would replace the forks, they're easy to find and inexpensive. You should have no problem finding them in the same color.

That's awesome, hadn't thought about Wards. Here are some other examples for different motobecane models and Peugeot.https://motoancienne.superforum.fr/t13374-pare-jambes-mobylette

I'm pretty sure they are aftermarket from V&W. They had a logo on the gas cap side that says "V&W specialites pour motocyclettes PARIS", which is reproduced.Edit: not sure if this is the right size, but this is the decal https://www.ebay.com/itm/150639731690

Can't you just re-sleeve the existing cylinder and get a set of new pistons?

I'm pretty sure that key is for the fork lock, which most mopeds came.

I've always assumed they came off some sort of benelli, but it could be old school aftermarket.

Brian could tell you with the number stamped into the back of the engine. It might be a 1966-1968 S3800 DOT based on the horn, brake light and licence plate bracket. The headlight and taillight look like universal replacements. The auxillary fuel tank is a cool acessory. I'd buy it if it was local.

If you have the parmakit cdi box the ignition is probably not your problem then.

I figured it was a Cimatti based on the gas cap and found a Scooter called the Cimatti Danny/MBM Maggiolino which uses the same rubber elastomer rear suspension and is very similar under the bodywork. A thread on an italian scooter forum had photos comparing the similarities of the maggiolino and pinguino. There isn't much info on the Pinguino on the internet otherwise. I also found this pho

Don't wedge the case halves open with a screwdriver, you'll wreck the sealing surfaces. Put a nut on the end of the crank, heat the outside of the case around the where the bearing seats and gently and squarely hit the end of the crank nut with a block of wood, brass hammer, etc. It won't take much.
