I need to pick up a new wheelset. This one is pretty fucked.
And god damn, this thing is hilariously stupid amounts of fun to ride. Just rode it to class. Loud, slow, awesome.

Sweet. Makes me want to do something with the 78 Suzuki FA50 sitting in the shed.

Damnit, left me stranded once already so far. 95% sure the tiny main jet on the carb clogged up with some rust from the tank.
Luckily I have a spare carb to clean and slap on in the parking lot where it died. Originally Posted by Driv3r

Can't you just pedal it home? Originally Posted by hamradio

I could, but it sucks ass to pedal. Imagine a 90lb bike that doesn't roll too well. And uphill.
Figured out what happened. my dumb ass poured 2 stroke oil in before the gas, in thoughts that it would mix nice. The oil went straight to the carb. Originally Posted by Driv3r

I've been keeping my eyes out for a cheap moped project. This thread made me so jealous!
