Preface

• If you want economical transporation, the maintenance that mopeds demand cannot be farmed out to a dealer. For example, one manfuacturer suggests that the rear hub, a collection of parts that would put a bicycle coaster brake to shame, be dismantled every 6000 miles.
• Another suggests that the ignition contact points be adjusted or replaced every six months or 3000 miles, whichever comes sooner. Another would have the cylinder and exhaust system decarbonized at 1500-mile intervals, and the spark plug serviced every 500 miles.
• Clearly, if you want the combination of economy and reliability, you must do some maintenance yourself. This book shows you how to handle all routine maintenance from adjusting the carburetor to truing the wheels. Even the best maintained moped can fail suddenly and without warning.
• Most of these surprises are caused by the fuel and electrical systems. I have included detailed troubleshooting and repair procedures, as well as descriptions of the way each component functions, for you cannot repair what you don't understand. Major engine and transmission overhaul is treated in depth, often going beyond factory manuals, and on the assumption that the reader is unfamiliar with the work.
• Even readers who are knowledgeable about motorcycles and small engines generally will find that mopeds require special repair techniques, techniques that are strange to American mechanics. The emphasis is on practical repairs, on restoring the machine to its original specifications. Legal restrictions limit power in most states: for those who are interested, there is information on how to bring these engines up to European standards. The first chapter is an overview of moped technology, and should be read by a potential buyer.
• For mopeds are not all alike; each has different capabilities and handicaps, virtues and vices. I want to thank the manufacturers and importers who have contributed information and, in some cases, bikes and engines for this book. Special thanks to Columbia Manu- facturing Company and to Mr. "Bud" Poole, a Steyr-Daimler-Puch dealer in Sabillasville, Maryland. Paul Dempsey
