Nothing new to add, just little maintenance and more riding.
^replaced some bulbs twist caps and let's see how well it fares in quadrant lightning.
the speedo contacts foil needs to be replaced is too old. Where can I get one?

Just some pics before she died. Next month I'll see if she hits the road.  Now you guys know what Sand looks like :v   Probably one of the multiple issues she have  In transit are: Complete coil with plug Fuel tap Auto choke Used dash to get the contacts foil for the various dashboard lights |

new dash arrived. Unsure if I roll the ridden kms on this to match mine (over 45k), or leave it like this... May make easier to sell my mopped in the future xDDD  |

Now is reads 15220km (should be 45746km)  Today I was riding her, spending up the old fuel (had 1 month and was added last month to older fuel, from a cheap brand) That tank I did with 2 dosages of STP motoboost Things I've done as extended forced maintenance since as you guys know, last month she stopped working. -Autochoke (turns out my old one works, but whatever. have a new fitted.) -Manifold (mine had a crack but the crack in the rubber haven't reached the inside. Yet, I replaced, new one is a tiny bit bigger inside) -Fuel tap (really needed this part. My old one was leaking fuel to vacuum hose, and didn't really worked well. probably the real culprit) -new sparkplug -mew ignition lead. (i discovered my old one was botched up and taped.) I still have a different coil to put, but since mine seems working fine, I'll keep that as spare. Probably in the future I'll buy those unrestricted coils, since piaggio ones cut out at around 10k, 11k. Honestly, for stock you can be WOT all day without it blowing up. Yet, sometimes she would bog up @ cold, and then returning to normal after warming up. Today managed to hit the usual speeds i had (yesterday was underperforming) Sometimes she'd die at idle, and had to start using a little of throttle. I've sprayed carb cleaner directly to the air intake (removed filter) with her running several times and went for a ride, to burn all that fuel i had, until the low fuel warning lamp coming up. Now, I filled her with BP ultimate 98RON petrol, received around 4,5L so I suppose I still had 1L in the tank. Added another measure of that stp stuff and rode her home. But I wanna know, is my idle too fast? This is after filling her up with new premium fuel. I still need to test it out, but came home flawlessly (2kms to home) |

Today just to try, she fired by kick at first time. Sweet.
Now what matters, saw a little oil in the groud, so I went to the hose and removed the silicon that was there to keep it in place but wasn't really sealing leaks.
So, since I found my gasket sealant (sticky as hell) , I've put it around the hose and carb union.
Once it dries, will be a flexible rubber.
This is the same stuff I used on my car when I put the new thermostat in.
I will let it dry until tomorrow and then will test

But I wanna know, is my idle too fast? Sound OK to me and you said it starts right up and haven't reported it stalling or trying to move on it's own so that all sounds good. |

Thanks Some day I'll just buy those digital tachos we just wire around the ignition lead. Is a must have to be sure. This engine should idle when warm at around 2k revs |

Swapped Cdi with one (used but good. Was only 2 British pounds, since the seller didint knew if worked.
While warming mine, she bogged. Ended up flooding. Saw it when I removed my sparkplug.
Cleaned, readjusted the gap (was too close) and swapped Cdi since the ground wire of mine that connects to the frame isn't that good. (cracked insulation)
I was afraid this one would be restricted, but no.
Holds well going uphill and since I'm skinny, even gained speed until 70 km/h
Flat, reaches 80.
Down, with wind hitting me hard in the front, 85kmh.
I'm sure going down she can hit 90kmh but without wind
Unfortunately this season is always windy here.
Also I need a gopro to start recording.

Even came with a weird part. I think is a rectifier (no idea where that goes.) I paid more for the shipment than the part itself 😂

Adjusted mixture counter clockwise 1\8 turn
Adjusted idle counter clockwise 1\4 turn
(Just using this as note while i keep tuning her, have no paper or pen with me)
