Although it is highly enjoyable to have a quick blast, relatively speaking of course on a 50cc moped, it can also be great fun just to take a slow meander through the lanes sometimes and take in the sights.
Along the way I saw endangered species like the Bond Minicar and Singer Gazelle, had a great view over a loch full of Pink-Footed Geese, a field of Alpaccas and also spotted a trio of Pictish Stones.

Gorgeous back roads in your manor. Perfect for bimbling around on a 70s 'ped!
Yes, some of the roads by the farms are a bit sketchy with potholes and lots of loose 'stuff' but yes, it was great to just have a slow bimble.....
Thanks for sharing, I feel inspired enough to go out and tinker with my Fantic Issimo 50cc moped now. I put it off earlier but looks like the rain has turned to fog now, just as wet though haha. I have to pull the magneto apart again and see whats going on with the HT lead. I've got a new smaller diameter one to replace the one I had to whittle down to size and that kept disconnecting itself. It's either fix it or carry on using my mountain bike and I don't fancy that. xx
Thanks for your message. I don't really know much about the Minarelli V1 motor in the Issimo to be able to help. I seem to remember though that the rear brake light is on the same circuit as the magneto, the blue wire I think? So, if your brake light bulb has blown you won't get a spark.......I think!
@@fanticman Hiya, I don't seem to have a brake light lol. My horn was on the same circuit and before I disconnected everything that had nothing to do with ignition I used the light switch as a kill switch as the kill switch did nothing but if the lights were switched on the engine wouldn't spark. The horn did the same job. I think someone had had a go at fitting indicators as she did have indicators which were not wired up. I took the indicators off to make wiring up the lights more straight forward as I don't know what I'm doing haha.
My big problem was the woodruff key that makes ignition timing easy, the one in Fanny was level with the shaft it is on so it didn't do anything. After a couple of miles at high speed the flywheel slipped very slightly but far enough to stop the engine which wouldn't start when hot but did start after cooling down for 15 minutes. I thought it was the coil at first but she was just hard to start when hot and when she did start it the power was down and she only ran until getting hot.
I think she is running ok now that I have made a woodruff key but a new problem is I fitted a new HT lead and plug but it was a bit too big so I sort off shaved some of the insulation off to make it fit into the coil but it has come loose a couple of times due to the angle the wire has to bend through as soon as it leaves the coil, about 90 degrees and I damaged the rubber seal that holds the few wires in place where they come out of the magneto.
I got a new HT lead so fitting that and doing some praying to the moped God is today's job. xx
Can we get to see the bike Mark please 😀
4 or 6 speed?
4 speed TX200 Alex, hence its a bit (!) under geared with the current sprockets.
@@fanticman what do you think my sprockets are Mark. Would they be the same as my UK bike back in the day 🤔
@@alexrankin2235 I'll have a look and email you later.
