strangeangel Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 A late afternoon session on the Pavement Pizza moped. So the fuseholders did arrive and I cut off the fusebox, replacing it with this arrangement - result! With the seized rear brake jammed on, the starter turned over - no signs of life, though. Big fat spark, plenty of compression; fuel then? Off came the carb, the float bowl was full of 2-stroke oil that had wept into the carb over the years! A quick clean-up later, and it fired up and ran, albeit briefly. Then the starter motor burned out... anyway, now I know it runs I don't mind spending a quid or two on it. A new Taiwanese starter has been ordered (£23 delivered) and a second-hand headlamp scored for a tenner. I just need the front handlebar panel now. Oh, and before I sacked it off for the evening, I stripped and cleaned up the rear brake, freed the seized pivot and lubed it up before putting it all back together. Hopefully most of the fixing up represents graft on my part, as opposed to forking out £££, so hopefully this should be a fairly cheap resurrection!

strangeangel Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Pavement Pizza delivery bike update... The new starter motor arrived, was fitted and - after a bit of coughing and farting - the heap ran like a good 'un (on that basis I think UW wins the sweep). Nope, I can't see anything wrong with that either! The exposed bits of the frame got some (very gloopy) Zinc 182 lashed over it, followed by a dose of some black rattle can or other that I had lying around. Not pretty, but you'll never see it, and as long as it keeps the rust off - who cares? The camera went flat at this point, so to briefly summarise...shit rusty swingarm was wire brushed and sprayed upcrusty old shocks refurbished (well OK, the damper rod was masked with an old sock and they got sprayed satin blackrear wheel removed and wire brushed ready for re-paintingswitchgear cleaned and lubricated - most of it works now!!!!!1!zorst got wire brushed and sprayed up with VHTMore soon!
