Variator restrictor question (pic)

I just want to make sure I have it all right before I put it back together. I removed the pulley and removed the plate thats held on with the 7mm screws. I've read all the tech documents but just to clarify before I put it all together. I remove the plate and screws, I'd imagine that I remove the O ...

If there are no gouges in the plastic then I would sand it all down with 300 grit paper, instead of priming, I would shoot a coat of sealer first (it's like a primer, it fills scratches better then a primer though. After the sealer is set wet sand the sealer in gradual steps starting at 400 to 1500 ...

SE50 and SE50P exhaust differences please.

I've read about the restrictor at the flange near the head, mine doesn't have one. Is there a difference in the actual muffler itself and not the pipe leading to it? Is there a difference in the size of pipe leading to the muffler as well? If so what size pipe is on an SE50's muffler. I am a pretty ...

and the sad thing is i have seen mopeds that will beat that bike to 70mph

Not sad, simple power to weight ratio, mopeds weigh 100 pounds if not less. Big bore all the crazy mod's (same mod's I'd like to learn about) and LOTS of money can give you speed. Years ago I owned a 69 VW beetle with a ...

Few pic's and a question...

I got sick of sitting on a small chair fingering my moped :shock: so I busted out with my miter box saw stand and it fits perfect. Now I have a nice work area for my old elite. This moped has been sitting for 20 years and now starts right up after soaking the carb in carb dip for a few hours. Soon i ...

I'm having the exact same problem with my SE50P, I removed the muffler to eliminate that as the problem and it still does it. Starts right up without any problems and Idles properly, as soon as I hit the throttle it bogs down and dies. I checked my spark and it seems to be weak. The spark is not a ...
