MobyAV87 throttle

[Marley]

Hi all,
could any member tell me if there is a generic throttle/decompresser which will fit my bike as the one fitted i quite worn making it difficult to acheive full throttle.
If i could get a new/old stock part that would be better?
Any suggestions please
Pete

It's one of those mopeds that run on garlic and red wine

Bit obscure even for these forums!

The simple answer is no. The Mobylette uses a double cable twistgrip, but not like a regular one used on many bikes, where one cable pulls the other pushes ( depending which way you twist). The cables sit on a stop , so that when one is pulled ( throttle or decompressor) the other one stays on its stop and doesn't move . There are a few moped forums , Mopedland is one that springs to mind . Have a look on there and you will soon find something suitable.
From mopedland :


Moby throttle body castings—selection. New—£4. Used—£2.
Moby throttle twistgrip tubes—selection. New—£2. Used—£1.

How do I know all this.

I had one back in 1972.

The 1976 Moby I was fiddling about with last year had one of those

Push forward to decompress for starting and stopping
Pull back to ride like the wind!

As I recall there were plenty of parts available on sites like Stevethegrease mentioned
