Takes me back to my youth. Over 50 years ago I bought an old non runner James Cadet for 10 shillings (50p in todays money (UK) Stripped it down more or less like you did, the tank was rust free, I was learning as I went and I remember now the feeling of pride and excitement when it started up. Had some great times with it on the pit tip in the old mining village I grew up in. Looking forward to the test drive .
Beautiful design and color! Surely working on it is a lot of fun! As I'm watching your moped projects I feel it would be great to get one for myself ;D.
Jeg har købt en motorbecane 40t (modellen større end Cady) som har stået i 20 år. Motoren kører ligesom din sløvt rundt, så måske det også er stempelringene der er problemet. Jeg glæder mig til at gå i gang med den. God video!
It got there in the end coming back to life it's a nice little bike . Was expecting the inner tubes to pop when you inflated the tyres , I would call that colour Maroon. Tell that man with the Trabant to stop leaving your tackle all over the place he's a bloody nuisance haha .
White Vinegar is reasonable for price, Kills Rust, fill the tank with that. Guessing this is a two stroke engine, not a four stroke. That piston too me looks BAD, ideally a new piston and rings 👍👍👍👍 On Aliexpress you can buy home use sand blasters, might be worth looking into.
On those the engine is on a pivot and should move backward and forward to alter the gear ratio. This was not happening so perhaps the pivot bolt is too tight? Also, my apologies if you did this already and didn't film it but when fitting different piston rings you should check the end gap. You put the loose ring into the cylinder and use the piston to push it so that it is in square. You then check the end gap with feeler gauges.
In Denmark they are restricted to 30kmt by law. Therefore the gear ratio system is removed and the engine is in a fixed position. Yes you are right about the piston ring... I should have, but it came from a used engine in the same size so I was not worried... But still, I should have... :)
U og skil den knallert af... og saml, skille ad, samle skille ad, samle..... Når jeg vækker dig i Tipien næste gang forventer jeg at se den cady samlet med lukket øjne!
Never messed with one! 😎👍 Would be cool to tune into a sleeper..... Tell me about how to get that 4 size ratchet wrench! My tool kit needs that! I put stainless steel schrader valve wrench caps on several bikes, including Astrid.
Those darned trabbie owners making a mess of people's garages!!! As for the bike, it sounds pretty smooth revving up, which is odd for a 2-stroke, at least to my ears anyway... :P
what a beauty!! but the engines are so troublesome. i reworked some of them and always the crankshaft seal was hardened, so they would run very unstable. but the biggest problem is the needle bearing of the crankshaft which runs in a sleeve thats press fitted into the casing. its usually worn out and there are no spares for the sleeve. the main bearing is a huge roller bearing on the same side of the crank - a little like solex, but worse. this setup causes the crankshaft always to tumble, because roller and needle bearing are very close. i dont want to discourage you, but in my eyes its a faulty design, made to run for some thousand km and then to be thrown away :/ the m3pr engine is slightly better with a 3rd bearing, but id always prefer av7 mobylette engines - which dont fit the m1 frame unfortunately.
Hey Adrian! :D Yes they are abit fragile in the design, but so far I have been lucky with them! :) And I really like to spend time in the garage so maybe its a good moped for me... ;) But thanks for the comment! Now I know a bit more about them...
Jeg elsker dine videos, men jeg kan simpelthen ikke holde ud at se kameraet flakke omkring på den måde. Jeg har enda haft sådan en knallert da jeg boede i Korsør og ville meget gerne se lige den her video. Det er sagt i al velmening men jeg kan simpelthen ikke holde den der kameraføring ud, sorry! Ku du nu ikke lige være sød og skrue kameraet fast i et stativ og så lave samma film en gang till, så lover jeg at jeg kigger, og giver den 10 tommelfingre opad. :)
I have seen an old VeloSolex moped in an auction nearby - Would it be worth it trying to get it for cheap and converting it to a quicker E-Bike with a conversion kit?
Citronsyre.... stået i to dage og derefter neutraliseret det med en blanding af vand og bagepulver... derefter skyllet igennem og tørret og omgående fyldt med olie og benzin blanding i ekstra fed... Det vil ruste meget hurtigt efter sådan en behandling uden olie tilført!
Jeg har selv en gammel motobecane Cady, hvor hurtigt køre den hvis den er indstillet korrekt? Og er det rigtigt forstået at platinen skal indstilles til 35? 😁

Have a look on ebay UK now ,there over £1250 , would be a good investment if you still had it
Its the best feeling to revive stuff like this.. it never gets old for me! :)
Looking good..

Det kunne det da godt være :) held og lykke!
Das Video war wirklich Geil ! ( Ich habe auch eine Mofa Cady M1 in hellrot ! )
A wonderful shade of Burgundy or Maroon
yes! ;)

Maroon! thats the name..... not red wine... :P
Hehe he is making a mess everywhere and everything is smelling of twostroke smoke!

Lovely! When we reach Denmark on our big motorhome trip, I’ll be bothering you to buy mopeds!
Haha your welcome!
Your videos are the best man I have two mobys and I’m not too much of a mechanic so your vid’s help a lot!
Thats great to hear! I can tell you that another mobylette is coming very soon! same engine as this one!
@@SeasideGarage perfect!!
I’m in serious need of a video on how to install the throttle cable on my motobecane cady
Very nice Video, again great content. Greetings from Vitskøl Kloster. We are this weekend for an shorts visit in Denmark. Skål for denmark
Skål! :D
And thank you!.... have a good trip!

Tak for den oh vise mester! Så er der ingen undskyldning for ikke at have en knallert, der kører. Den ryger lige i favoritter!
U og skil den knallert af... og saml, skille ad, samle skille ad, samle..... Når jeg vækker dig i Tipien næste gang forventer jeg at se den cady samlet med lukket øjne!

Hehe.. There is relays, 6v bulbs and twostroke oil everywhere!
How did you start it with the drill. Sorry if it's a stupid question but I am just wondering. Would make my life a lot easier lol.

Det er jo den stolte Danske tradition "Dogme"... !
Ok ok, jeg tager det til efterretning... Godt med lidt kontruktiv kritik. :)
I have seen an old VeloSolex moped in an auction nearby - Would it be worth it trying to get it for cheap and converting it to a quicker E-Bike with a conversion kit?
I have no idea! ;)
Got the exact same bike the other day, got any suggestions for getting a different carburetor for these things?
I have not used anything else then the original one so far.. :)
hi hows the rex coming onhave you rode it on the road yet and does it go good
Coming along! I actually took it for a small ride yesterday! its going pretty well!
Hvad er det for noget du har brugt til at rengøre tanken med ?
Citronsyre.... stået i to dage og derefter neutraliseret det med en blanding af vand og bagepulver... derefter skyllet igennem og tørret og omgående fyldt med olie og benzin blanding i ekstra fed...

ca 30-35.
Ja det er rigtigt.. men husk at tjekke tændingstidspunktet.
@@SeasideGarage super, mange tak for svar! Og tak for den gode video!
Me like 👌
You survived it! ;)
I don't know this brand, but I think I can name a few reasons it isn't popular. It has no suspension, and bicycle brakes.
then what about the Velo Solex? :D
