Some time ago I installed an extra 12V supply to run all my extra gauges. There was an empty spot in the fusebox so I used that.

Doy you know if this works in a Honda express2? It’s a 1979 model and your part a lot like my original one on my bike

That should work. As far as I'm aware the engine of the express and motocompo are identical.

Do they make a replacement carburetor for that? I looked here in the US but can only find an original one and they’re expensive, close to 200 dollars. A less expensive would be nice, thanks for the video and ride safe.
@wannesfromwood2572
@wannesfromwood2572 2 жыл бұрын
They still make the QR50 carb new and it fit's perfectly. That also costs around 200$ so that's about the price if you want a new carb for a motocompo.

As fun and quirky as these are they are a safety hazard if I've ever seen one. In Amsterdam where I live mopeds are delegated to the roads in between the Range Rovers and trucks. so while I would like to grab it more often I end up picking the bigger Africe Twin.

Nice work! With regards to the battery, on the Facebook group Motocompo owners UK a few people have posted about their replacement battery setups. You can create a cheap battery that will fit in the original casing, however a voltage regulator will be needed to stop the bulbs blowing. Luckily I got the original battery on mine refilled with acid and it still holds a charge. I’m not great with electrics and wouldn’t really know how to install a voltage regulator
