Speedfight 1999 won't pull away with new parts HELP NEEDED

I got my Peugeot speedfight new rollers, new belt, new spark plug, and now want to sell it as old enough to get a car and got it out and before the seller came the bike won't want to go anywhere but does rev on stand. Anyone know anything about this?

 

Belt put it wrong I guess?

 

Don't think. it's been done by a mechanic

 

I had exactly the same problem with my speedfight the other day. But after a while it was fine, turns out it was most likely water ingress into the fuel tank. You could try draining the tank and refilling it. I've started using super unleaded but can't detect a big change in performance, if any. Water leaks into the underseat storage well too but that's quite common. Couple of my mates experienced that and I read about it in a review so I don't tend to use the storage space when it rains. But how water managed to get into the fuel tank beats me, if that's what is was, and it's concerning so I cover it up when I can. My way of thinking is that the older ones (mines 2001) have tanks made with slightly porous materials. Never had any probs with the electrics though. Strange little beast.

 

It's been kept in a garage for like 2 months as I didn't use it and now it's behaving like plus I filled up the tank yesterday

 

What a PITA. Maybe leave it and try it again tomorrow. Could just be having a funny few moments, maybe it doesn't want you to sell it. Ying yang karma and all of that. Good luck mate.

 

Hahaha thanks

 

Wait, are you saying it won't rev unless it's on the stand?

 

It revs on stand but it won't pull away on wheels

 

I'm guessing a roller has stuck in the variator. I know you say they are new, but it still happens.
Or the fuel has gone off/stale

 

if it revs on the stand but dose not pull away when of the stand, I would say it's not a fuel issue.
it must be the variator

 

It sound like the variator to me. Had a similar problem with my speedfight. Luckily I wasn't too far from home as pushing it was hard work as rear wheel seized.

 

Why not keep it, you can have a car and scooter !
