After getting the Moby running last week the drive pulley decided to chew up all it's teeth. I was riding through campus and all of a sudden I lost momentum, but my engine was revving to the moon. I looked down and saw the carnage. It's not a horrible repair, but one where I had to order parts and wait. I got them in the mail on Friday and took them with me to Indy on Saturday to hangout with Lance & Candi. I was able to get everything put together and running just right. We went for a 6 hour ride through the city with numerous stops for snacks and gas. I had an awesome time visiting and am now super stoked I have a running moped to get me to classes and work.
About 22 seconds left in the video you can see me in an orange shirt with a yellow moped and my father is right behind me.
It's a 1980 Garelli Super Sport XL Ltd. with a rare two-speed automatic transmission that works!
At all times. That's all I have to say.
Super high quality video from my cell phone! Comments please...
It's official. My project is now a running moped!!!! I put it all together yesterday while we had the awesome weather and now I'm tuning it. I actually rode it up and down the street. I don't have any photos yet, but I will soon. I also hope to upload a video of it. Yay for awesomeness!
I am bidding on an A35 Tomos engine for my project ped. Here are some photos:
