I bought a moped

So I'd like everyone to forget everything I just said, because it runs baby.

So after staring at the wiring diagram for a bit, I suddenly realized I'm an idiot because the way the ignition switch works is that when the key is not turned, it keeps the entire ignition circuit grounded, thereby, no spark. Kind of the opposite of most ignition switches as far as I know. I quickly rushed home, grabbed some gas and put my 2 stroke oil in, replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the lines, then rewired it to bypass the ground and reattached the killswitch. I gave it a kick and it roared to life immediately. I think I literally jumped out of excitement. So first impressions, it's loud as all hell and I'm sure my upstairs neighbors hate me now, but I'm too happy to care.

I then told everyone I know that I managed to fix a thing and started buttoning everything back up. Taylor came by and took this great picture of me with my happy face then we loaded it up into the truck and took it to the empty lots above the Harrison for her maiden voyage.

We pedaled it around at first to get our bearings, then fired it up and let it get up to temp. Then it was time...

So, as expected, it's pretty slow. On flat ground it gets up to about 25 ish and on the downhill, I got it up to about 30 before chickening out because the back wheel is a little wobbly. Brakes work fabulously, and it runs like a top. After running it uphill for a while, it starts to give up, not sure if that's the clutch getting too hot or something else.

The only other issue was that none of the electricals seemed to be working. A quick check around later I found a loose wire in one of the connectors, so now that's fixed too.

So yeah. That was way easier than I expected.
