This is an old time device here in Tunisia. A lot of nostalgy to this great moped

That's like saying we only have two feet because shoes are sold in pairs. There was no practical reason to wire the world polyphase when they began the central distribution of power. In hind sight one could say that was stupid, but who would have thought electricity would turn out to be so useful in the home back then.

It's a Motobécane engine (called MBK in the last years). Bit this is a square cylinder with a round head... ? You should have painted it with the original blue.

want to sell? [email protected]

Same problem here too - mine is a Oct 2005 WH/WK

i have a 2011 model i think they look the same but my wheels are diffrent then what urs in

what kinda fuel tank setup do ya got?

I did just this with a conifer and i broke the tow line lol.....

@kw1984 Same problem here too on a 2005 (55) - I've just done putting new pads in the rear and while in pieces thought i'd have a look as I never ever use the parking brake.... and mine are exactly the same, lining came off the shoe body! Disgusting really!

mobylette what is the brand of this bike? batavus?

Looks and sounds very healthy! I am working on mine at the moment; a 1966 Mobylette AV42 - it should be an easy task since it was running a year ago, but then it stood still due to other projects. Seems to be a pressent ride you've got :)

@TheNameIsCharles The bad thing is mine is the newer shape 2005 model!

Very nice, what make is the engine?

@celeronproductions Most of these engines don't idle perfectly, just they way they are. But as long as it stays running, but slow enough not to engage the clutch, it's fine.

what a lovley little old engine im half way restoring my suffolk almost done just need a spark

It sounds great, very quiet! Mine sounded horrible, so its broken down for new crankshaft bearings.

nice petter it sounds really healthy

i think i got the same one, just mine is a bit older looking then yours... i do know that it is over 30 years old though.

Hi kieran, I have just get my self a 12V Dynamo (1930's) and jsut have to collect it now. I plan run it of my wolseley WD8. what will I be able to power with it, will it be possible to run a 12V kettle? Also will I have trouble keeping the dynamo seperate from the engine or should it be mounted on the trolley?

lovely colour and it runs great!!

i got of those 75gs going sat for 11 years cleaned out the carb and it fired up first pull the next morning!!!!!

wow, u really did great with the engine modification.. love it, please teach me

nice runner, well balanced

nice iv got that same model the blades are so noisy on mine you cant hear the engine

I was there it was a brilliant show! Thanks for shareing DAVESOUNDS

Hi what paint did you use on the engine and cowling is it heatproof and also does the paint on the mower matter if its heatproof

NOOOO, not flebay! You will find people selling over priced crap, buy from within the hobby, from other entusiasts, put an advert in the back of Stationary engine magazine. It will cost you less and you will get better results.

a great + inspirational film, ( I had one of these when i was a boy !! ) blord111

hey, that was great, how do you get it to run so well?

i love how you stop those things

Nice Villiers you got, i got a 2Kw Villiers genset from the 50s

What color is the engine painted?

yes i reckon you should restore it you will get your money back in the fututre as thes engines are disapiring and geting more value

The primer was Blackfriars Red QD90 Anti Rust Primer For Metal which was applied to everything. The green was Buckingham green gloss from B&Q which was overcoated with a clear coat lacquer made by International Japlac The red is Blackfriar QD90 which is rust/petrol/oil resistant. No clear coat. Engine sprayed with black heat reistant BBQ paint. This isn't original colour but looks good. Everything sprayed with compressor.

if that were mine id put it on a lawnmower frame to go mud bogging with do u still hav it what do u use it for how many hp does it hav

water baking soda and electricity, you put one lead(I cant remeber which) on the tank and the other on another peice of metal, The rust is drawn off the tank and onto the other peice of metal. When in doubt....Google is your friend

Thats one of the best 1000 engine videos ive seen! i love to see stationary engines doing something so i enjoyed the ones generating and pumping many thanks for shareing it

It`s an old machine, where did the eletromotor came from ?

nice job

Thanks for sharing!

how manny watts does it make

Another one of your spot on restorations I see,I remember seeing your early vids when you were working on really small engines like Briggs etc.Quality of work has improved since,that Petter gleams and runs like a watch,in a somewhat more modern colour!! Do you plan to use the motor as a generator,can be done quite easily,thanks for showing us the petter!Stew.

Well done, you beat me to it! Great to see your PAZ1 finally up and running, I shall watch your website for updates and will hopefully have news of my own soon.

can i buy it from u?

Hi Kieran Same here. I hope to exhibit there next year though. The only thing is that we are about 150 miles away from the rally but if I do I may take a Wolseley WD8 and my PAZ1 (provided I can get it restored, find a full cowling and replace the bid end bearings).

Hi angus No I was just a spectator. I have yet to exhibit at a rally. The main problem is I have no trailer so I can't really move anything around. Hopefully next year a will manage to get to a rally or two.

did you take any engines to this rally?
