my new project - me and a ped

Hi De Hi campers.
new to here as i found you on THE GOOGLE SEARCH, and signed up.
im just getting back into scootering after finding this in my mates garden under some ivy




you can see from the last pick the ivy mating with the loom :grin:
its t reg, de restricted 50 LC speedfight 1
it hasnt been moved, ran or even touched for 6 years or more.
but after half an hour of re placing the 2 fuel hoses, coz it had neither and i wasnt sure which one was which, burning my finger on the plug,a little brake cleaner, and using a drill on the from pulley cos the starter mech is somewhere else in the garden, pop pop pop.
and it was off in a cloud of smoke. ticked over no problem for half an hour on the old fuel and plug.
so now need to strip and sort everything from the ground up so if any one has any spares, they`ll go to a good home :good:
it`ll be nice to get it back on the road coz i havent rode it since i was 17 when i last had a ped

 

cheeellrs minor :wave:

i spent an hour today striping the rest of the wild life out and tried to clean up the starter and kick start mech, which, unfortunately is pretty goosed. the casing was taken off because neither was working and then left off on the floor. this has mutated the teeth on other stuff onto a ... well mess. so thats something that will probably need replacing, but will have a go at tomoz.

i reacon it will cost about 100 quid to get it mot ready, as one tyre is not worthy for a start. so just weighing up weather to just buy a bigger engine and make a sub frame etc or buy the engine bits and tune this engine. its done 26K, beliveve it or not cratch: and not yet been written off :rotfl:
im well able to do anything mechanically, but not really too much financhially.
will post pics tomoz of it stripped

 

That poor bike lol
And welcome!
