[@mattoglecreativeLLC]

i finally got myself a magnum yesterday, and i cant wait to watch this series again and work along with you. thanks for doing what you do dave.

[@dustinschings7042]

You're going to get a huge influx in subscribers one day when the moped community as a whole finds your videos. Another great one, and looking forward to more.

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Ha! I’m just happy for the people that do watch. I’ve often said, that if you like mopeds, then there is a very good chance that I like you. I think it’s true, so that helps to know that everybody who is watching is cool as hell 😎

[@justspacegoatfarts]

2021 ,here for the love of mopeds,,, and just got a puch x30

[@SDsailor7]

That thing almost looks like a regular motorcycle. You were not kidding when you said it is bigger than some of your other mopeds.

[@jasmintuzla1675]

Of man ,your videos are so relaxing......tnx

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Thanks. I find it super relaxing working on mopeds, so I'm glad that translates...

[@brenteaton4579]

these are a great first bike to learn on.

[@MrWeaviestevie]

Hi David..discovered your channel through recently owning a tomos .my friend owns a mobylette and I've been watching all your old bids and catching up to present day ..love your style and everything you do. Keep up the great work dude .👍👍

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Thanks Steve. I appreciate the kind words. I heard that Tomos is officially bankrupt, so they will not be building/releasing any more mopeds. If true, than that makes me sad...

[@SDsailor7]

I thought that they were selling brand new one not long ago?What happened?

[@tomaswolsink7620]

Tried to get my hands on one but that was not an option nowhere Tobe find here in the Netherlands. There easily worth a couple thousand of euros here in the EU so you got yourself a presious beauty there :) Miss The time that I were 16 and had my first moped I'm 26 now all my friends had scooter and had a laugh at me never lost the love for my mopeds the best time ever always in working condition and great fun :)

[@robinvanmiddelaar5156]

Enjoyed the episode David, looking forward to the next one!

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Thanks for watching!!

[@brandon2076]

Looking forward to seeing your plans for this thing come to fruition!

[@SDsailor7]

Cleaning all the parts and sanding, derusting, and painting is such a chore!But it has to be done.

[@tylerm124]

For anyone thats lost those loose bearings you can usually find them at your nearest bicycle shop just ask the mechanic. Amd sometimes they will just give you a handful

[@HEXACHEESE]

Hay Dave, would love to see you do a moped with a mineralli v1 or morini mo1 at some point.. great job, thanks so much for sharing...

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Me too... 😜

[@ianyaple176]

Psyched to see your progression hitting all the brands, im still stuck on mobys But the za50 2 speed is exciting Excited to see what you come up with Get treats, md,77,and dos to send you stuff to test! Totally like the voice over storys Keep up the good work

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Ha! That would be the dream.. testing the latest kits, pipes, and carbs. I could die happy. Thanks about the voice overs. Feels weird doing those, since I’m just sitting at my desk talking to nobody. I’m glad you like em. If you like the progression, then just wait. I got three or four lined up, and one or two of them are oddballs.

[@SDsailor7]

Where would you buy ball bearings if you were to loose them?

[@SDsailor7]

I started my Indian moped restoration ass backwards, since instead of testing the motor first and making sure it started I just went ahead and started disassembly down to the frame. Hopefully the motor starts, I did check to see if the motor turned over and it does.All I have left to do is derust the fuel tank and paint the frame.

[@SDsailor7]

I have to come back and follow your videos so I can keep inspired thru out my restoration.Keep up the good work!Cheers

[@NickBeek]

If that has the 2 speed auto trans, I bought one of these brand new in the early 80's. It was my third and final moped. Great bike that I ultimately traded for a Honda 350 motor cycle when I became old enough to have a motorcycle license.

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Nick... sounds like it’s time for you to go shopping. I sense some unresolved moped issues in you that can only be exercised by getting another one to wrench on! 😜

[@NickBeek]

David, I am tempted to look... 😂

[@CorralesRacing]

La tienes preciosa 👍 yo estoy restaurando una Puch Monza , en principio la iba restaurar original , pero alfinal la voy hacer café Racer

[@aaronblair9583]

There's actually 2 clutch cables. The exterior cable threads into a much smaller one that remains in the case. Attached to the pressure plate..they come right apart. Change your shift dampeners!! Also flip that 2nd gear clutch, helps Alot with getting a more reasonable shift point.

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

[@aaronblair9583]

@@DavidFixesHisShit these bikes are truly great..i pined for one for years before i got mine....but alas, opinions change... after 5 years the top tank aesthetic lost its appeal. just sold mine last summer. The ZA is a wonderful engine, also look into a larger engine output sprocket. these engines are known for having an early shift change. flipping the 2nd clutch and running heavier oil can help a lot. but a bigger front sprocket is really the tits biscuits. mine had a bing 14 and a k-star70cc kit; with a tecno estoril. boom, a blaster. im 275, hit 40 all day. magnums handle speed better than almost any moped. it really is more a motorcycle than a moped.

[@jeremycole7358]

I've been waiting for this. I have plans for my ups magnum I'm looking forward to see what you do. And how is your wife enjoying her beautiful machine?

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

She’s a fair weather rider, and it’s cold a crap here right now. That footage I got of her doing the test ride is about the only time I’m gonna be able to get her out until it hits 75°. Good luck on your UPS!

[@jeremycole7358]

I'm trying to get my wife into riding she wants a magnum as well so I'll be breaking the bank once again lol

[@OSkDee]

Hey David, during the sped up full disassembly piece of the video there is a picture on the shop wall with two American flags hanging from it. I'm curious what city is in that picture, assuming its a city. The image looks like a couple framed European city pics I have, specifically from Germany.

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

It’s Amsterdam. You got some eagle eyes!!

[@OSkDee]

@@DavidFixesHisShit Nice! Probably only noticed it since I have a couple similar pics in my dining room :)

[@francoisl7663]

LOL. My Moby is 90% ripped apart. Cut off the back and did a shock relocation. Will be installing the 74CC kit on it. What do you use to clean parts? PS: I live in the bay. Too bad you didn't buy a house here back then. You'd have 10,000 mopeds if u did and sold it today haha

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Hey. I use the ZEP purple power cleaner. I mix it at a stronger concentration than they recommend and it cuts through everything. Just be careful about leaving it on painted parts for too long, because it’ll start removing paint after an hour or so 😜

[@francoisl7663]

@@DavidFixesHisShit Dang... So I've been using "Purple Power" for years. I got the ZEP and what a difference. Thanks for the recommendation. Making part cleaning way easier.

[@arne8837]

Nice

[@adrianrushing2413]

I have a 1978 sprinter moped with no knowledge of what to do

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

Get some tools and start taking it apart🤓. You’ll figure it out. There are manuals for that sprinter online, so that’ll be a good help. It’s just a moped, so go for it!!

[@andreww.6283]

David, I hope you already know not to put your weight on the ZA50 center stand, unless you want new engine cases

[@DavidFixesHisShit]

I didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up!

[@andreww.6283]

David Fixes His Shit No problem, I’d hate for you to have your cases crack from too much weight

[@gerardzwier5679]

Things looks perfect before u even took it apart lmao 😅
