I have a vivacity 50 that wouldn't start with the electric starter but would kick start fine, it turned the starter motor wires were reversed in the connector, swapped them round now works fine. Probably not that simple but thought I'd mention it. Although I'm in my mid 40s im only been riding bikes for 10 months when i got the vivacity it was giving me a lot of grief was about to scrap it then found your videos, it runs sweet now i love riding it. Thank you for making these videos they've been a great help.
@marksavage4 жыл бұрын
this is why I make my videos and its so nice to get feedback, thanks you and all I ask is to sub share and like as for this little bugger lol, its been starting on kick and running well for 3 weeks now as the guy who bought it just wanted it back yes it bugged me and think it had something to do with the replay and cdi but run it does lol take care bud
@roythearcher Жыл бұрын
It's also a good idea to check out the battery connectors. They may seem perfectly clean on the outside but as I found out, the wire within the crimped joint can corrode causing a high resistance and stopping the current from being enough to use the electric starter even though everything else appears to be working OK. It took me ages to figure it out. All I had to do was cut off the old terminals, strip the wire back to clean copper and crimp on two new terminals. Works like new now! This is on a 2001 Peugeot Elyseo 100cc. (No kill or side stand switches!)

Great video Mark❗️I had a problem almost the same as your several years ago and I worked on it for hours and hours and finally found that the ignition switch worked fine when I just turned it on and kicked started it but when I turned it on and tried to start it the ignition switch shorted out. I couldn’t get a new switch so I rewired it to a toggle switch for ignition on and off and a push button fir the starter and it’s still working 7 years later. ❗️👍✅

lol they really are funny odd little mopeds that drive you mad , it can be something as simple as that or something you will never find most seem to think a new cdi will sort it but as I had the buyer wanting it back he was happy with just the kick start and I didn't want to put more hours trying to trace it so it went back to him as is and 3 weeks later it runs like a dream think i'll stick to 2t and big bikes lol, take care mike

I've been working on a v clic (Pain in the arse) I went through everything. Tested everything and still had starting issues. Id turn the ignition on, turn it over and it wouldn't fire up straight away but if you turned the key and leave it alone for a minute it would fire first time. Although the cdi came up good on the multimeter I ordered a new one and now it starts on the button everytime straight away. Cracking vids Mark, thank you 👍

Those two wires not connected to anything are for a pre heating element built into some of the carbs , I think it was an option depending on where in the world the bikes were sold, I took my bargain v -clic up to knights for MOT last week and it wouldn't restart , turned out to be a dirty connection on the CDI , Frame earth points are always worth taking off and cleaning , and not forgetting valve clearances which are notorious for causing starting issues

Hi Mark you have some brilliant video’s out there. I recently got a vclic and been doing it up. Thanks for all the tit bits. For info those bloody wires dangling are because Peugeot decided to add a heater to the carb in the later models (2012-2014?) and rather than doing something to cover them someone has simply left them dangling when installing a generic carb 😂 Going to kill off my kill switch tomorrow, been planned for a while but now I know which wire to chop! Thanks. Incidentally my electrics aren’t working quite yet more diagnosing to do, felt I needed to get her running by the kick first so which way does the kill switch sit at when normal, do you flick it over to the X to kill it as I assume as I can’t find this anywhere and would help!! Also the CDI is AC and DC and a battery is required to operate - even on kick which it took me some time to work thru to 🙄😂

I’ll leave the kill switch alone for now then 😂 The kill on the side stand is routed out already, may or may not bring that back in when I work out the actual issue. There’s a coupling at the front and rear of the wiring loom that are not connected to anything, thinking perhaps running lights on European models or something which a pretty diagram would confirm whether I need something on the end of them or not! Peugeot have been little buggers making things ever so different to other chinese peds. Thanks for your time. Happy New Year!

That's not the original carb. Those two dangly wires are for a heater for really cold weather. Just protect them from moisture, and tie them out of the way. That angled vent pipe shouldn't affect anything, as it is just for the belt-drive cover. There is another vent at the back. It's just to cool the clutch, and variable drives.
