Hey David, your videos are so nice 👍 I have watched all your videos, and i am always waiting in exitement for the next video to come up 😁 Keep up the good work ✌️

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

σας ευχαριστώ

[@keithletheren196]

Great stuff Dave although I’m not sure how many people have the machinery like you do to make such modifications like on this build. I like it when you keep to the basics which we can all do. Just my own preference

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

I get where you are coming from. You can just buy those parts as well. I just make them because I enjoy it so much. Really the only machinery I have is that lathe. The other stuff I make with files and a drill. Thanks a bunch for watching and for the feedback!

[@TheRealSuperJ]

Love the precision David. You ever consider making a business out of high-end moped restoration? And aren’t AirPods perfect for conference calls? I use mine for that all the time.

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Well Jason, if there is one thing I know about myself, is that If I turned this into a job, I’d start hating it. Just like every other job I’ve ever had 😜. As soon as I HAVE to do something, it loses all appeal.

[@TheRealSuperJ]

David Fixes His Shit good point. Just seems like there’s enough middle aged people like me who would pay for the craftsmanship. But I get it.

[@iacopotuttino5515]

With a 70 cc you must put a PHBG 21, but the CS or AD models

[@SDsailor7]

Great machining work David.

[@romaboombox]

Dave, I see you changed your engine mount bushings... I'm having a real hard time finding some to replace mine . I have the noi motor and wonder if the vip motor has the same motor mount bushings and where you got yours.

[@Soldklaus]

probably the best!

[@MrWeaviestevie]

David.she looking sweet .nice lathe work. Your next tool for your workshop should be a manual mill ? I see you had to forgo italian to an american exhaust in the end .👍

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

I'm still upset about it, but I couldn't make any Italian exhausts work. Sigh. I'd love a mill, btw. I'm always looking on Craigslist hoping one pops up

[@ronin_117]

Mlm makes good stuff that pipe is sweet! Good work dave

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

I do love the MLM pipes. Performance and looks!

[@ronin_117]

@@DavidFixesHisShit heck yeah! You inspired me to pick up my first moped and build it! I just want to thank you for that.

Hi David I've got a Garelli just like this one. i inherited it from my brother-in- law as he got tired of it. The problem is that it will run for awhile, but it won't start again until cooled or I'm tired which ever comes first. do you have any ideas? I was thinking of changing over to electronic ignition like you did. I've read that maybe that could be the problem. Anything is appreciated. I haven't tried working on it since hernia surgery two years ago, got tired of trying to pedal. No that I can't do much else by staying around home I thought I'd give it a try...again. The videos are great, i told my brother-in-law to take a look and see what the Garelli "could" look like. take care waiting to see the next video and conclusion on the Garelli.

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

I think you are on the right track with the ignition system. Condensers especially like to crap out when they get hot. Switching over to CDI will certainly remedy that issue, since you get to remove the condenser entirely. Other than that, check the basics- do you have an air leak? Is your plug wet? Are you getting enough fuel? Good luck with her!

[@SDsailor7]

Hey. Welcome back!

[@aaronblair9583]

Always sad to know you gotta wait again.lol

[@15JBarrett]

Did you do anything to make the polini to fit perfect besides the fin? Mine is not going in all the way because of the bubble close to the base. I have an 84 VIP 2 , not sure if something is different.

[@stefanfredin7120]

David! I'm trying to reach you on your latest video. The copper bushing after removing the flywheel is loose and movable, but damn impossible to remove from the shaft, it gets stuck on the edge where the lock ring was. What to do? :(

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

You mean the flywheel on the ignition? That covers the stator? I didn’t have a lock ring on mine, just a nut. And I had to use a puller to get it off, since it’s tapered.

[@jonathanbennett4899]

You should share the music you use in your videos. It's good stuff, but I can't figure out what it is

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Hey! Thanks Jonathan! I write and play all the music myself, so I really appreciate that you like it. I’ve uploaded some of it to Soundcloud here m.soundcloud.com/user-781050447

[@kaptein1247]

Do you use the bikes that you restore? And if so which one do you like the most?

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

I do use all of them. As for my favorite... that’s like asking me to pick by favorite kid 🤓. I like each of them for their own reasons. When I want to go fast, it’s the Moby. When I want to be comfortable, it’s the Tomos. When I want to look cool, it’s the Magnum.

[@SDsailor7]

How did you machine the flat spotfor the pin? Do you also have a milling machine?

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Nope. Just a crap ton of filing. My hand still hurts!

[@SDsailor7]

@@DavidFixesHisShit I was wondering how you did it. So lots of elbow grease then.

[@SDsailor7]

Where did you buy that band saw? Nice!

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

I got that from harbor freight. My wife bought it for me for Christmas a few years back.

[@SDsailor7]

@@DavidFixesHisShit Cool. That is a good tool to have.

[@derwichehoussem1428]

I have a garelli and i can’t find the pieces

[@edboer2851]

I think Squeeze hight is too much, 0,7 0,8 mm is the best. Oslo check piston hight . Succes!!

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

The gasket compresses quite a bit. It is flexible rubber. After the head is torqued down, the squeeze is less than a mm
