It's an A50 about 1980, I bought a box of parts basically

from the ignition when the key is turned 1 click where is Green G going to?

Yellow Y goes to the Magneto but when lights are on Green is replaced by Grey Gr which powers the lights.

Different partnership.  That's the Mitsi partnership, the Avenger one is Chrysler Hillman. 

Probably a Mitsi galant/colt GS rebadged as Dodge used the Mitsubishi bodies in US

Probably want to change the petcock while you are at it, even with the overflow you still gotta turn them off

what year is the bike?

I actually pulled it apart and checked it when i got the bike, i never turned it off and sat for 5 or 6 weeks. I have never had to turn off fuel before on my old bikes but then I was riding them all the time. It's a 2004 model first rego'd in 2005

Had a near disaster as I am about to re rego it!

I Booked a brake test for yesterday afternoon, went out and tried to start it, finally checked the fuel and empty. I put a few litres in it and thought, shitty carb must have leaked it out and I will need to fix that when I come back. It finally fired but was running a bit rough and not idling very well, I removed the carb checked it and seemed ok so blew it out with the air and put it back.

I took it for a run and it wasn't happy at all and when I got back it was leaking oil around the area of the front sprocket. Took the cover off, cleaned it up but couldn't find anything wrong. I thought I better check the air filter in case it was that.

Once I removed the filter I found it was in a bath of oil and petrol mix and realised where all the fuel had gone, checked the oil window and side of the engine and it was well full so drained the oil and about 3.5 litres came out of fuel and oil mix. I drained the filter box and put fresh oil and it ran fine to the shop. I was talking to them and they just said, typical GN indestructible but also said this can happen as the needle will need replacing. I am amazed as instead of hydraulic damage it just pumped enough into the air box via the breather to run.

What is the use of the overflow in the bowl if it doesn't work! 

I used to get cover sheets from Skope

cheers, i see, I know not to mix them but never really gave it much thought about the angle of the dangle being a little different

Sorry - confusion, I should have said some one to match the paint and fix it.

Its a 2011 Nissan Fuga/Infiniti

And the other guy is going to pay but I want a pro to do the job, i don't mind doing my cars myself but not something that may need 5 or 10 coats or how ever many it has and if the rear quarter panel needs respraying I am not keen on a crappy blend job halfway up the pillar like I have seen on some cars.

Just on a note, I used one of those matched paints it was nowhere near my black Audi Allroad

You betcha I was pissed when 'Mum' came home in the new(2011) Nissan/Infiniti and someone hit her in the carpark right in front of her as she was loading the car with shopping!

It is very minor marks but it is on bumper, guard and wheel. I remember reading that these cars are a bitch to match because they have multiple layers and are painted on the same angle or something like that.

Prefer someone in Sydenham area as I am less then 5 minutes from their.

First one is the bumper and its right through the paint and second one is white paint from his work ute and he took some of the grey off the wheel.

You can usually use the turn the and count method, the driveshaft will turn 4.1 or 4.7 turns for every single turn of you rear wheel. 

I have a couple in the shed so so went and had a look and both LSD 4.1=Blue 3.7=Orange could this be just the pinion tooth number as I assume like others they mix and match pinion with different crown wheels to achieve various ratios, I am sure someone will know more and help not just you but me as well.

Is this the one?

flick me pm with email and i will give you owners manual

Ok so I have the Chinese copy but I guess they are the same internally but I have just bought 2 scooters that use the 4 speed auto c50 engine and 1 of them started binding in 2nd gear.

I take off in 1st and fine, change in 2nd and it jumps and makes a clatter and slows, change into 3rd fine and 4th is fine as well.

I downloaded a c70 workshop manual and will pull it apart and check clutch but I fell like it is the gearbox so could be a full pull down.

Has anyone got any experience with this happening?

Running pretty sweet now, got it over 75 but as the gearing is very tall I have ordered 2 lower front sprockets and between the choice of 2 rear and 3 front I am hopeful I can work out a bit more pickup and higher speed. From what I gather these came with up to a 125cc so the gearbox and speedo are made for that.

The spare has a 14T and 36T and the main bike has a 14T and 40T  so I have a 12T and a 13T on the way and I am thinking that I should be able to sort a decent geared bike

It has gear lights so not too bad but yeah like you say, prob get used to it and it means you dont have to got down the gears to first as its just 1 click away.

I put the jet from the 50cc carb and the spare bike and now it idles nice but is sluggish, might soak the carb overnight

I have a hole in the jet now using a really thin needle, i will go and see if i can get thinnest wire file through it now and test it as it would be sweet to have 2 bikes working. I also tried to do a fastest run and might have got to 80km/h but it ran out of room LOL

Surprise honey we are going to Molesworth for your honeymoon!!

This was funny, I was like... WTF is with this gearbox not realising that if i go down from Neutral is 1st (Yep normal for most), but then I go up and it jumped a couple a gears. So after I worked it out ya just go Down -1 down-2 down-3 down-4 and if i go down again it jumps back to 1st (thank #%# I was only doing about 30km/h) and if i go up from 1st it jumps into 4th.

So is this normal? It must be missing a stopper or something as I would imagine doing 100km/h in 4th then selecting 1st will be a disaster.

The second bike is now running after a carb clean and blocked main, but I need to pull the bowl off again today and fix the idle/pilot jet as I couldn't unblock it, i will check if the spare 50cc carb has the same jet as the big bore carb.

Bought a 49cc Moped and spare with big bore kit

Couldn't resist as it is live rego and 17" wheels and runs a 4-speed step-thru. surprising has some grunt but I bet my Grabdaughter oops i meant granddaughter will want it as she prefers one of these than my R33 Skyline..... go figure. I might get to keep the skidder a bit longer.

Oh and as I bought these off the importer it came with a few NOS parts so I can keep them running for a few more years or maybe make a Molesworth survival kit from them!

Looks like a great time had, is this going to be an annual event? Kinda  keen next time.

Big ups to all the little wheeled bikes and stepthrus. 

Yea piece of piss for a decent Hiab or Palfinger with it's own flat deck. I am another that recommend Mackley Carriers.

Just a long shot, as it is a copy have checked for info on the actual engine it copied? Often they are an exact copy although the wires may be different colour but at least it may give you the correct way to start and run it?

Did you get this sorted as my bro lives there and i could ask him if he could get it to his place for you?
