Thank you for the informative video! I’m relatively new to the moped world and just became the proud owner of a ‘77 50L. I’ve read the manual dozens of times, but I feel exponentially more confident after watching the start-up process in action :)
IAlso a relatively new mobylette owner, I've been peering through the parts catalogue every night for weeks to try to get a feel for what I'm looking at
I have 2 of these babies! I love em they are so cool! Also after long usage and they stop running make sure to clean that exhaust pipe and clean those points!
Now that's how you do it. A good running ped, should always start with a half a kick. You should have mentioned that the rear wheel must not drag on the ground, during this procedure.
Thanks, and yes that is a good observation as sometimes the kick stand is bent and the rear wheel will catch on the floor in which case push starting is needed
Gonna be getting a '76 this weekend for 800 bucks. It's my first moped and I'm excited for it. A moped that I can ride that doesn't look girly(so many of them nowadays just seem too girly, lol). Sure, it's almost as old as my dad but it's a good moped that still runs after 45 years so I think it's good quality. Update: unfortunately, the '76 didn't work out. But I'm having an '80 delivered tomorrow. Same cost, too.
Trivia: The Decompression Valve can work as a "Brake". Only on a emergency case when you lose all breakes. The Decompression Valve can slow down the speed a little bit.
Im about to purchase one, a 1976 and it looks like its in great condition. Do you have any information on how much these should run for and a place to look at prices and what i should look for to see if i am getting a great deal?? Any info would be awesome. Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply but depending on the model, year, and condition they can go for 600-1200 on average. But up to 2000 fully restored. You can come into our shop at Orange County Scooters if you're in southern california as well as Myrons Mopeds.
@@hhrosalesI'm from Brazil I have a Caloi Mobylette XR-50 that i bought for 400$BRL [88 $USD] It's a very different model but is licensed from Motobecáne. [Different frame and fairings, But almost same engine.]
