liveevil's modifications to the diagram are correct. either/or brake switch would illuminate the bulb. the mass of unnecessary ground connections erased.

7. Re: When the brake light turns on, the headlight shuts off, wtf?

Adrian Salter — 3 years ago
Forum: Repair
Something is not right with either your diagram or the wiring. There is no supply from the regulator output to the stoplight circuit. Also the brake light switches should be in parallel so that either brake will switch them on. as they are (in series) you would have to have both brake levers pulled to operate the light. I will try and redraw the diagram as it should be if you think it might help?

9. Re: Mirror recommendations?

Adrian Salter — 3 years ago
Forum: General Discussion
I've had similar issues, only being able to see myself in the mirrors.Solution; Clamp the threaded end in a vice between 2 pieces of wood and bend the angled part another 15 degrees or so. It puts the mirror another couple of inches out and improves visibility greatly!I only use cheapy mirrors off eBay, they way too vulnerable to worry about buying expensive ones.

10. Re: Stainless Steel bolts

Adrian Salter — 3 years ago
Forum: Repair
As stated above, stainless is not as strong as 'regular' steel bolts.I say 'regular', but there are several different tensile strength classifications;4.6 4.8 5.8 8.8 9.8 10.9 12.9 the higher the number the stronger the bolt.Most common are 4.6 8.8 12.9, these numbers appear on the top of many, but not all, bolts. As a guide, stainless A2 and A4 would be ROUGHLY equivalent to 4

Yup! Needs a spacer in here! Try about 5mm to start with. Make sure the lug for the brake hub is engaging far enough, but not quite bottoming-out.It's not a permanent fix, but you could try packing out with washers to calculate spacer size.Good luck. Adrian

Adrian Salter — 4 years ago
Forum: Repair
Definitely Weller! Got 3 of them, similar to the one in the pic. Didn't pay a penny for any of them, they just needed simple repairs. Fast heating, with plenty of wattage to provide the heat for soldering larger items. Remember the wattage doesn't affect the temperature, just how capable it is of heating larger items. Try and get the old lead/tin solder with rosin flux core. modern lea

14. Re: Welding engine damage magneto?

Adrian Salter — 4 years ago
Forum: Repair
Unlikely to damage a magneto- they are just coils of copper wire around a laminated steel core.However, be careful of all 'electronic' bits. Regulators, rectifiers, flasher relays etc. They can all be damaged by high voltage spikes that can occur when using a welder. Not sure what your particular moped might have, if in doubt, disconnect and remove it if possible.

It's quite simple really:We all know to check for spark, fuel, compression (often in that order)But garden machinery is all totally different!It requires the following FOUR ingredients;1) a spark of which Van De Graaff would be proud2) fuel so volatile it needs to be stored in a cryogenic vessel3) Compression so high it requires a ministry of defence licence4) MAGIC PIXIE DUST, APPLIED BY ELV

Forum: General Discussion
Grinding with either a bench grinder, or an angle grinder will work.(done loads myself over the years by either method)however, go slowly. If you steam into it to fast, you will make the metal too hot and it will loose its hardness.Grind for a few seconds, then cool in bucket of water.Just grind/dip/grind/dip/grind...………………………If it glows orange or goes blue you going too heavy!!!!!

Forum: Repair
The plate that to which the arm (that cable hooks into) is connected, should slide up/down on the top rivet (the one in the red box top pic) (the one arrowed in last pic)The red paint is probably not helping.If it fails to move, the cam inside the hub will only push one shoe against the drum.With it moving correctly, as soon as one shoe touches, the cam moves laterally until both shoes are in cont

With lever released, it will be only slightly harder to ride than a regular push bike.Once the lever is pulled, you engage the engine and it will be 'hard going' but you should still be able to 'ride' it. you wont want to ride more than a few meters like this!!If, upon pulling the lever, it virtually stops you, there is something seriously wrong.Sorry if this is obvious, but ha

Ok, most of its been covered, but I'll throw in my bit.....Cheap spanners will probably be fine.Cheap sockets will probably be fine, but the ratchet needs to be good.Cheap screwdrivers are a complete waste of money, buy the best you can afford. Cheapies will break, and damage fasteners.(3 decades of experience with a huge variety of tools in different trades)Good luck!Adrian

29. Re: I lost some teeth

Adrian Salter — 4 years ago
Forum: Repair
I'd go with weld some teeth back on! If you've got a MIG welder it wont take too much. Turn the current up high so you get proper penetration. Use an angle grinder with a 0.8 or 1.0mm 'slitting disc' made for stainless steel. carefully cut your teeth! Some 20 years ago I did it on the ring gear of a car, lasted for the rest of the time I owned it!
