MOPED ARMY

Do whatever you want. Just know that if you go with a cheap 4 stoke swap, you won't get as much love around here. If you do decide to go through with the swap, do it first, and post pictures when your'e done or as you go.

i'd Build an AV10 with parts from treats. Or, mopeddivision has complete av10 engines for $375, and they have sale going on.

Personally, i'd build my own engine.

Yeah I've been over on moped division got a cart made up just trying to make up my mind.

Spend money and keep it original. And deal with premix and gas.

Or

Throw a engine i have lying around on it.

Rebuild what you have, more trouble than it is worth to add the heavier 4 stroke engines. Not sure the issues with pre-mix? I don't remember any gas stations outside of marina's that ever had it at the pump? Are you talking about the pre-bottled stuff? That is way too expensive, just get a 5 gallon can, add your oil and fill, only make a gallon or two at a time or fill it up if you will be riding every day, then just top up the bike every time you get home, you can get one of those bottled pre-mix cans for a reserve if you really fear running out.

destroyed? engine looks complete to me, or did someone take a sledge to it post pictures.

The previous owner of the bike stored it without a spark plug in it. Took me a whole bottle of marvel mystery oil in 4 hours to get the thing moving. It ran for about 2 days then died there's nothing Salvageable. So I'm looking to just throw a av10 in it.

I just completely tore the bike down today cleaned it. Going to start sanding tomorrow so then I can paint it. While I'm waiting on the engine and parts

Av10. My problem is trying to find out what I'm going to do to where the chrome embellishers went on the gas tank sides

Yes. I will be dissembling inspecting and doing any clean up that needs to be done in it too before I install

Paint looks nice, i wouldnt paint over it.

good choice on av10, the chrome tank dodads just pop rivet on. was that the question?

Av10 clone is absolute garbo. Comes with a slooow cylinder and the head is shittily dremeled to clear the piston at tdc. We used to offer them to our cheap/French moped owning customers as a relatively inexpensive alternative to us rebuilding it, but honestly after swapping out all the variator shit and fixing the head it was basically the same price for them, just paying more $ for new parts instead of the labor. Needless to say we dont give the option anymore. You should get the party pack and assemble it yourself.

Yeah but how in the hell do you put them back on. They came off very easy

I'm sry buddy I had to paint it. That blue bores me when I see it and u can see the white and tan primer they used through parts of frame and fender. I bought this thing for fifty bucks and had one thing in mind. Make it mine so I'm customizing everything I possibly can. Cost is not an issue

There's pics posted already on this page. And now everything is primed waiting to dry so I can apply the first coat of 3 light coats black then I got a shit ton of pinstriping to do in a light blue/green
