Love the clash playing in the background

[@antonioZaRasFiNaLbOsS]

I have the same model that stayed for 20 years and 2 days ago i started it for the first time and has the same sound! I also found the technic book for it and 2 spare spark plugs Nice engine 1.6 hp and 4500 rpm

[@KuznVinny]

I had a Garelli in the 1980's. I had to occasionally clean away carbon deposits from the exhaust ports. Other than that, I had no trouble with it.

[@cristophervazquez1220]

[@cristophervazquez1220]

i have one and these junkyard mechanics just keep playing with me they haven’t done nothing to it

[@Rapadash1]

Bought mine last summer, 78, not running. Good spark, timing and compression. Needed to redo the whole fuel system. Now purrs like a kitten.

[@MrGetonyourbike]

they were great bikes so to was the puch maxi

[@johnstyles100]

@count123hahaha um this one hadn't been started for over 30 years and all I did was checked the air cleaner screen was clear of blockages such as wasp nests etc, freed up the starting clutch mech, and filled the tank with premix! I guess I got lucky - I never even checked the spark plug or spark!

[@jdpinbaytown]

[@danielnaslund2991]

Hello! I just bought a Gary Garelli (uno) and when I push the pedals the piston doesnt move, I can pedal all i want but piston dont move. Any ide what is wrong. I have never worked on these engines before.

[@johnstyles100]

Hi Daniel, when you want the pedals to turn the engine pull the starting lever in (top left lever - the one above the rear brake).

[@danielnaslund2991]

@@johnstyles100 Thank you, I was googling alot and found out that there are some bushings that should be in rubber in the clutch also. They are completely gone on my engine so I guess thats why it doesnt work when I pull the lever. On my its the lever under the brake so maybe someone changed it. Its supposed to be the top lever for that?

[@johnstyles100]

@@danielnaslund2991 yes I think you are right (sadly I didn't get to keep this garelli so my memory of it is fading..) - the starting clutch lever would be the one that is angled differently to the front brake lever.

[@Rapadash1]

Clutch lever is under front brake lever. Would need to redo clutch with new bushings and 13 oz oil. Next step would be to check the Piston and rings.

[@jejiithoken77]

which is the year??

[@musician1232]

what kind of speed does that thing with that gearing

[@markriccomini4227]

around 40 km/h

[@johnstyles100]

it is somehow (hydraulicly?) speed limmited so that it simply will not ever exceed 40kph in stock form no matter how hard you try!

[@johnstyles100]

youtoob bloody blows!! Sent me threatening emails about copyright cause the radio was on in the background - wouldn't let me monetise my only popular video and now I see it has adds but I don't ever receive a cent! bloody koksuking scammers! - and they keep asking for my phone number when they already fcuking have it! I never gave it to them... Yes I am cross.
