That should be the 25cc version my dad had one of those. The 32cc version was grey and came in a special heavy duty frame.

Anyone know what oil i should use in a honda pc 50 and if what bramds do you recommend

Very nice restoration. This was the first bike I ever owned. I was 15 years old, that was back in 1970. It cost me £12.

Is there something rubbing?

Love the look of these bikes.😀

Bad luck Mike. We have all been there but it’s part of the fun of riding old stuff sometimes. My Raleigh RM6 has a habit of turning off its petrol tap when I have to pedal assist on steep hills. I refuse to admit it’s user error! Keep up the riding small bikes. In our local club we have a saying, “fast enough to go places, slow enough to see them”

Hello Mike...that's a shame the NSU let you down half way round the run, yes i'd go along with the condensor breaking down diagnosis as well...being a hot day probably not helping matters either, hopefully i'll make the next run or we'll just have our own little ride out sometime.

These Quicklys were an excellent Moped the Honda Cub c100 50 cc knocked them out of the small bike market.

Loved mine blew it up so many times must have been a 300cc by the time I sold it

replace piston ring valvle seal

Who needs big bikes, this is ace

GT250A?

wow

Why would you not put a new 65 or 70cc cilinder, they cost like nothing and it will run 2 times as good. You can store the original cilinder in a box if you care about keeping it original.

Its weird to see them with bicycle pedals. We only had them in motorcycle configuration here in Belgium, without the pedals and with kickstart. I have one myself and restoring it.

I watched your vid hoping you would show how to take side casing off oil side ? I've looked at mine and cannot fathom it out ! Can you help plzings

So basically it needs a full restoration

What no wheelie 😊

I wanted to see you pedal it, 😂

I had a t250 had to renew Crankshaft bearings as they were knackered and you could hear the crank making wonderful sounds as you whine it up, also the pipes had to be cleaned out every six weeks, as used only for short journeys and oiled up the system, plug change every 2500 miles , those were the great days of motorcycles, now have t120 2016 goes well and handles well with upgrade shocks and springs on the front!

sweet little Suzi.....ookie 👌

Reminds me of my Russian built Neval Minsk 125.

That’s @ce , the smell of my youth

Had one sitting in workshop for years , keep getting distracted with the bigger bikes , the NSU quikcklynis a fine looking and well built machine , look forwards to getting it done .spares?

nice 1 mickey i can remember riding a t 250 hustler back in 79. i was 18 went like a bat out of hell i will never forget the experience only 45 years go thanks for sharing

I had a GT250M with the Ram Air cylinder heads and that had the same style front mudguard as your bike...also had an X7 that i bought from Ape Accesories in Kettering which i didn't keep very long as it wasn't nowhere near as nice a bike to ride as the old GT.

I bought an N reg one back in 1978 from a farmer for around £ 50.00. Ran great when I went to see it. Got it home and couldn't get it started, as I was mechanically inept back then, it took me ages to realise he had drained the petrol out. Had to wait until I turned 16 before I could ride it on the road, I was out on it for hours on end at a time, absolute freedom, I loved it. Not without issues but usually down to an enthusiastic teenagers abuse. Great to see you all out, small bikes, big fun.

The baffles are supposed to have wadding on them held in place with wire to quiet the exuast noise and helps with the back pressure needed for a two stroke it will run much better then I had a GT 250 the same type and had the same prom lens where some one had knocked the baffles in

That tool is called an impact driver

Do not leave the fuel tap on prime you will fill the engine with fuel ask me how I know, that was bloody expensive.

Looks like the baffles are 2 different types looking at the hole pattern Keep up the good work 👍

Looks so period with that top box. Back in the day, they almost all had top boxes, . You got anSS50 4 speed, and a GT250 like me 🤗

I had great fun writing that book 😁

I restored one 3 or 4 years ago, and both exhausts on mine had rattling plates inside, like yours. They are spot welded on the back half only, like you said. I managed to buy 2 new, old stock pipes, and could see the partitions were welded on both sides on these. Suzuki obviously modified them. I think it was a very common problem.

A good way of balancing two or three carburettors that have individual cables from a junction box is to back off the throttle stops so that the slides can close completely, then with the engine not running you listen to the sound of the slides closing and adjust the individual cables until the clicks from each slide merge into a single click. Now while opening and closing the throttle (still with engine not running) turn each individual throttle stop screw in until it reaches the exact point where the sound of it closing changes. Now with the engine running turn both/all the throttle stops in by exactly equal amounts until you have the correct idle speed. I suggest checking the oil pump adjustment after adjusting the throttle cables on an engine with oil injection. You can sometimes get much nicer pick-up from idle if you adjust the individual idle mixture (air) screws. With the engine fully warmed up and idling, gently pull the throttle cable to one carburettor (you can only pull it a small amount on Japanese bikes because of the captive cable ferrules). Turn the air screw toward "lean" until you find a point where the engine speed no longer increases slightly as you pull the throttle cable to this carburettor, then turn the screw toward "rich" just enough to regain the slight increase in speed. Repeat for the other carburettor(s). Now you should have a perfectly smooth splutter-free pick-up as you pull away, even if you do so very gently. I think your bike is well set up by the method that you used.

Mickey good job and loved the burble of the Suzi. Think I mentioned that my 3 cylinder on the ramp when you were up the other week, I had used the 4mm thick lolly sticks to sync carbs as usual, then decided to drill through gantry and put some 4mm adapters in for my vacuum gauges. Mr genius here thought he had done a good job with the lolly sticks but the gauges were more out than I would have liked (but it sounded perfect) however the biggest difference was seen at 3500rpm when there was a big difference to centre carb although I can't figure out why. So with gauges I tweeked the centre carb to be more balanced at that range... This is where a lot of flat spots can occur when going through rev range in my opinion. I also swapped gauges around to confirm one was not knackered. Smiffy

Impact driver name of tool. Lovely bike mate. I want one.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I think the baffles on the Spitfire need a little attention. Near Duxford? Suzuki sounds just like I remember from 75-77 era. Lovely sound. Shame we can’t smell it too. Thanks for the video.

Superb the clip was fantastic. I had a lime green fuel tank ,5 speed ss 50 in 1980 . I’m 61 years old now and your clip brought back great memories. Regards Dave from Scotland

Are your bulbs incandescent or LED by chance? You need an unit for LED's if they are, as incandescent unit won't work. I've seen many vlogs on this issue.

I'm wondering if this GT exhaust would fit on a GP 125??

I love the number plate on the front mudguard that takes me back . Also a lovely moped

Got one of these on my 16th birthday great fun trying to keep up with my mates on their fizzys

love your videos mate. And the outtakes.😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Fsie 2 stroke please. These were awful😢

ART piston is original.

Thank U, very well.

Nice to meet you. I'm Japanese. The first bike I rode was a Honda Express. In Japan it was called "ROADPAL". I'm glad to see it's still going strong in the UK.
