Peugeot Speedfight 2 ac 50cc - a right royal pain....

[elainypeps]

We have one of these....its not making us happy at the mo. We have replaced various parts - new CDI, wiring loom, kickstart, battery, spark plug, it won't start, the carb has been cleaned and the jets. There seems to be too much fuel coming through as the spark is getting wet, sounds weird? not sure

Hope you can help somehow, thanks in advance, Elaine

are you a serial buyer of broken mopeds?

I think they do some cream down at the chemists that will cure you

[roadracejoe]

electric choke on them can be a cunt. is there spark and compression?

[elainypeps]

thanks for your reply, compression tested at 75, and a new generator has been suggested?

And so it goes on...bla...bla...bla...another broken ped (but only two) so far!

[Nope.]

Don't buy broken peds. Especially the two-stroke ones.

These little 50CC's are often rode on cheap oil and rarely filled up, so they run out and then the bottom end is screwed, then they take forever to start, and when they do finally start, they either bog out and stall again, or run fine until they're warm, then won't start again on warm.

Low compression would suggest the bottom end is screwed.

Scrap would probably be a final resting place for this moped, unless you bought a new engine for it, but if the wiring is screwed, chances are, it'll still be a pain in the backside.

What year is the ped? If it's an early 2000s one or before, take the ignition cover off, and there should be a clip going into the back of the barrel, remove it. Then hold the back brake and use the kickstart, this method should make it start, IF it's an electrical problem stopping it from starting. Although, this method I've only tried on a Piaggio, might not work on the Speedfighter's.

:karma: hi dudette,

so has this bike ever run??

is fuel in good condition with no water in carb float bowl??

is there a spark at the plug?

see cmsnl for the exploded views etc.

i assume you have no manual and very little tool wise??

you need to establish if you have a spark, first priority, without setting the bike on fire!!

elec start or kick start as well??

you suggest a new genny needed?? any bad connections to genny and do timing marks line up at tdc etc?? fan cooled, sheared flywheel key possibly?

ign kill circuit works properly?? find cdi ign kill wire and disconnect, try again.

some pics would help.

[bikenut]

sorry dudette, cmsnl dont do pugs.........get wiring diagram and find ign kill wire from cdi.......unearth this to get ign, earth to kill ign......

[Nope.]

I got mixed up is all.

I'm rubbish with names of things etc.

But yes, by the disconnecting the barrel I meant like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pql76fWX2u0 works on ALL Piaggio's of the early 2000s (I know it's not a Piaggio).

And I meant if someone had bodged the wiring and was causing it to not start because of bodge wiring.

Also if you're not trolling, I've spoken to chavs that have understood what I meant.
