Great find on those mopeds. Looking forward to the finished product.

That is very nice, looking forward to this project

Looks fun, jcp anything that is gas powered is awesome and getting hard to find.

You can just externally mount a condenser instead of getting a new complete stator. Any 6v condenser will work even like a vw one from autozone.

You lucky ass. Man i have been looking for one for a while. Avery one around here think's there made of gold. But last year i did run across a sweet 85 Suzuki fa50 super low mileage for a 100. dollars. Hey i think yellow will be a better bike too. Great video my friend. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍

[@TheRandomMechanic]

Thanks , ive had a few fa50 mopeds , they are pretty sweet little bikes , these are the first pintos i have ever had , it sucks that the red one is a goner , i wanted to do an engine rebuild on it but that would take it from a $200 mistake to a$600 mistake and thats before tires , tubes , a new carb and intake , stator ect so it unfortunately is a parts bike unless someone really wants a pinto and is willing to spend a ton of money on it ,

[@TheRandomMechanic]

ok looks like im going to have to take back what i said , i found just enough parts in the US to justify a motor rebuild on the red bike , i just drained my bank account to do it :/ wish me luck

Those look like puch maxi engines.

[@TheRandomMechanic]

Exactly , They are puch e50 motors which are used on the maxi , btw cool user name , the dude abides

This is a comment from your Marksman comparison since I can't comment there. Did you replace the loading barrel tip or keep the one on the original refurbished model?

[@TheRandomMechanic]

i actually did both , i rebuilt two metal huntington beach marksman repeaters , one i kept the muzzle but replaced the barrel , the other i replaced the muzzle , i will note that the newer muzzle is a tighter fit and may require minimal modification to get it to fit properly ,

I found one near me with no spark and 5000+ miles and they want 900$ not running, what’s the max you would pay

[@TheRandomMechanic]

Maybe 300 , i paid 400 for the pair myself and i think i still got ripped off

[@TheRandomMechanic]

i say that because of several reasons , but mainly because they just arent good bikes , they break down constantly and everything costs an arm and a leg to purchase , i couldnt believe how much it cost to get these bikes to barely run , if you want it for a collectors piece id say try to grab it cheap but if your looking for a rider id urge you to find something else , in my opinion they look cool but they arent worth the headache

[@ryanpettet4601]

I found one near me for 900$ with no spark, I feel like that’s overpriced can you help me
