Hi all, I'm new to this forum and after searching through google non stop without any luck I thought my best bet would be to sign upto a bike specific forum hopefully then I can get my moped sorted once and for all.

I purchased a malaguti Firefox LC 2 month ago road it for a while and then decided to change the cylinder and piston with a brand new one as the bike had done 7444miles and had not been changed, upon trying to remove the cylinder I noticed that the exhaust outlet was all rusty so I tried to remove the exhaust nuts and these snapped, nothing but problems with it.

I replaced the cylinder and piston today and now for some reason the bike started then when revved the bike cut out and now will not start for some reason, the bike was running good before I had to replace the cylinder and piston and now stuck as what to do next I also use the bike for work. Any help or info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply liladams1,

I put the new piston and cylinder on today same size as the previouse cylinder and piston, i then connected everything back up took it outside put it on its stand started 1st time revved it once then just cut out and now wont start, all the internals of the bike are still functional, I just have no clue what it could be, it was working perfectly before I changed piston and cylinder started 1 st kick
