MY 1973 Honda PC50 Video 003
In this Video I finish off fitting new nylon bushes to the front swinging arms and strip down the top end of the engine to see if I can find the reason for the engine burning excessive oil.

I bought this little moped at the end of last year. It was an unplanned purchase so I have been working on it now and then and videoing as I go, as a result of this some of the editing is not so good! Sorry about that. Ah well, that's just the way it is. Hope you enjoy this video, Mickey
NSU Quickly S 23 The moped run that nearly was !
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 2 měsíci
A short video of my 1962 NSU Quickly S 23. This is a 3 speed Quickly that I bought back in 2019. I've done a few moped runs on her without any problems apart from a duff spark plug that I had to change and then she was on her way again. Great piece of post war German engineering!

Update video of my 1976 GT250A. Showing off my new second hand seat and R/H side panel in blue! Basic set up of carbs and R/H exhaust baffle temporary repair. Please zoom through the cleaning of the baffles as it goes on a bit and I haven't mastered the skill of speeding up a video clip yet! (probably never will) Hope you like the Video :-)
Honda SS50 Sports Moped. Fixing indicators, changing fork oil then going for a moped ride !
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 3 měsíci
In this video I am fixing the indicators on my 1974 Honda SS50 with an aftermarket flasher unit and changing the oil in the front forks. Then its off for a ride out in Oxfordshire near Bicester with the moped guys. At the end there are some "out takes" that I have put on just for a bit of a laugh!
I bought a 1973 Honda SS50 but it smokes like a 2 stroke ! Can i fix it ?

I recently acquired this little Suzuki. Not a moped but back in the day in the UK when you turned 17 you could PX your moped in for something like this and ride away complete with L Plates !

I've just bought this 1973 Honda PC50 Moped. This video is just a quick walk round to see what I have, but I am looking forward to seeing if I can get it running some time next year.
Video 8. Yamaha FS1EDX. Bought myself a Kenny Roberts Fizzy !
zhlédnutí 4,3KPřed 9 měsíci
The rustoration of my FS1EDX is nearly done, well I hope it is ! Once on the road I will be able to tell if it is running ok. This video shows me fitting some new parts so that the pedal mechanism will work as it should. The V5c has now arrived back from the DVLA in my name so as soon as I get it insured I will be out for a test ride and my final video. Hope you have liked watching these videos...

NSU Quickly Chopper. Made in Germany, Chopped in UK ! Video 001
Excellent. These videos are a real help
Nice one Mickey looks like a standard piston to me which is 42mm plus Honda will always stamp oversize on piston Crown. Can't think what piston to ring is tbh. If you find out let me know
Oops didn't watch until end of video
Met a guy a couple of days ago running about on a K reg Honda PF50.
I bought a PC 50 in 1982 ....for the princely Sum of £5.. it needed a new front wheel....£3 from a Breakers it was happy at a constant 25 mph. it's predecessor the P50 was not as robust as the PC 50. Nice Video..thank you
Yes!
You have just made a big mistake the correct drivers are in the toolkit provided 😢
I used to own a PC25 and a PC50. They are interesting vehicles.
This is my evening sorted! Just bought a PC50 myself, same colours and all. Looking forward to restoring and using it!
Hope you enjoy video 001, more to come if you do 🙂
What fuel are you using ?
Hi Mickey, picking up a Blue 1978 model up tomorrow morning, lovely paint, good chrome, etc and the seat looks brand new. Bike is very clean/tidy and looks like it had a resto not long ago and bike has all original indicators, lights and switches/gauges look fresh, though it does have an aftermarket brake reservoir which is Black instead of opaque but at least it is a circular one with the screw off cap so keeping with the style of the OEM one. Carbs rebuilt and vapor blasted, engine turns over great with good compression. Needs absolutely nothing bar a bit of wiring in the headlight needs re-connecting and battery putting back on. Got it for £1800 - Well made up.
Wow, that sounds like a bargain. Hope you get it up and running ok and enjoy riding it this summer 🙂
where can i get caburretor set for this model please
please help me get caburettor type of this model.please i have this bike with completely removed caburrettor and its hard to get here in Africa.kindly reply!
That should be the 25cc version my dad had one of those. The 32cc version was grey and came in a special heavy duty frame.
Anyone know what oil i should use in a honda pc 50 and if what bramds do you recommend
Very nice restoration. This was the first bike I ever owned. I was 15 years old, that was back in 1970. It cost me £12.
Thanks Terry, your story reminds me of my first moped, it was a Raleigh RM6 and cost me £5 in about 73 !
Is there something rubbing?
Love the look of these bikes.😀
Bad luck Mike. We have all been there but it’s part of the fun of riding old stuff sometimes. My Raleigh RM6 has a habit of turning off its petrol tap when I have to pedal assist on steep hills. I refuse to admit it’s user error! Keep up the riding small bikes. In our local club we have a saying, “fast enough to go places, slow enough to see them”
@@wheelssleaford268 ha ha ! Yes I remember turning of the fuel tap on my RM6 with my flares back in the day! Then trying to suss out why the engine had stopped!
Hello Mike...that's a shame the NSU let you down half way round the run, yes i'd go along with the condensor breaking down diagnosis as well...being a hot day probably not helping matters either, hopefully i'll make the next run or we'll just have our own little ride out sometime.
Yes mate, I will get her running again and if you bring one of peds over to mine in your van we could set off and do the same route ?
@@MadMickey58 .... most probably keeping the Raleigh RM12 so will have to get it insured now.
This is the S2/23 model . I used to have a 1964 one . I now I have an F23 model. Virtually identical, but with rear suspension. I have souped mine up. Will hit 45 on the flat on a good day, but doesn't idle that well because of more radical port timing . These bikes are such a hoot around tight twisty lanes . Amazing handling
These Quicklys were an excellent Moped the Honda Cub c100 50 cc knocked them out of the small bike market.
Loved mine blew it up so many times must have been a 300cc by the time I sold it
replace piston ring valvle seal
Who needs big bikes, this is ace
GT250A?
wow
Why would you not put a new 65 or 70cc cilinder, they cost like nothing and it will run 2 times as good. You can store the original cilinder in a box if you care about keeping it original.
Its weird to see them with bicycle pedals. We only had them in motorcycle configuration here in Belgium, without the pedals and with kickstart. I have one myself and restoring it.
I watched your vid hoping you would show how to take side casing off oil side ? I've looked at mine and cannot fathom it out ! Can you help plzings
I have now taken off the left hand side casing looking for my oil leak. It will be on my next video. Is the left side that you are referring to?
Its the right side Mike oil side
@@user-qu1iv5ro5l Not had any need to remove the right side mate. I will have a look though. Cant be that difficult !
Did my head in today ,gonna have another look on Monday let's see who fathoms it 1st 😅 you may find it annoying like I did today, thanks for replying
I sussed it 2 alan boĺts under seat .now she is ready to sell
So basically it needs a full restoration
What no wheelie 😊
I wanted to see you pedal it, 😂
And so you will, or at least try to !
I had a t250 had to renew Crankshaft bearings as they were knackered and you could hear the crank making wonderful sounds as you whine it up, also the pipes had to be cleaned out every six weeks, as used only for short journeys and oiled up the system, plug change every 2500 miles , those were the great days of motorcycles, now have t120 2016 goes well and handles well with upgrade shocks and springs on the front!
Impact screwdriver
sweet little Suzi.....ookie 👌
Reminds me of my Russian built Neval Minsk 125.
That’s @ce , the smell of my youth
Had one sitting in workshop for years , keep getting distracted with the bigger bikes , the NSU quikcklynis a fine looking and well built machine , look forwards to getting it done .spares?
Thank you for your comment. Good to hear that you plan to get yours up and running. For spares contact Andy and Sue at NSU Quickly Spares UK 👍
nice 1 mickey i can remember riding a t 250 hustler back in 79. i was 18 went like a bat out of hell i will never forget the experience only 45 years go thanks for sharing
I had a GT250M with the Ram Air cylinder heads and that had the same style front mudguard as your bike...also had an X7 that i bought from Ape Accesories in Kettering which i didn't keep very long as it wasn't nowhere near as nice a bike to ride as the old GT.
I bought an N reg one back in 1978 from a farmer for around £ 50.00. Ran great when I went to see it. Got it home and couldn't get it started, as I was mechanically inept back then, it took me ages to realise he had drained the petrol out. Had to wait until I turned 16 before I could ride it on the road, I was out on it for hours on end at a time, absolute freedom, I loved it. Not without issues but usually down to an enthusiastic teenagers abuse. Great to see you all out, small bikes, big fun.
Thanks for your comment and memories 👍
The baffles are supposed to have wadding on them held in place with wire to quiet the exuast noise and helps with the back pressure needed for a two stroke it will run much better then I had a GT 250 the same type and had the same prom lens where some one had knocked the baffles in
Hi Stephen, yes I have heard about the webbing fitted when the bikes were new. I have also heard that the webbing was suppose to be removed on the first service, although I don't know the reason for this, if it is true. I'm thinking that after a while the webbing would make the carboning up problem worse and the baffles harder to remove?? I have a Yamaha FS1 and according to the workshop manual that should also have webbing fitted, but it hasn't. Cheers Mickey
That tool is called an impact driver
Do not leave the fuel tap on prime you will fill the engine with fuel ask me how I know, that was bloody expensive.
Thanks for the heads up John. I have been hearing some bad stories about just this subject ! 👍
Looks like the baffles are 2 different types looking at the hole pattern Keep up the good work 👍
Yes, larger holes and inner bulkheads are fitted to the one that I repaired. Hoping to sort this out soon 👍
Looks so period with that top box. Back in the day, they almost all had top boxes, . You got anSS50 4 speed, and a GT250 like me 🤗
I had great fun writing that book 😁
I restored one 3 or 4 years ago, and both exhausts on mine had rattling plates inside, like yours. They are spot welded on the back half only, like you said. I managed to buy 2 new, old stock pipes, and could see the partitions were welded on both sides on these. Suzuki obviously modified them. I think it was a very common problem.
A good way of balancing two or three carburettors that have individual cables from a junction box is to back off the throttle stops so that the slides can close completely, then with the engine not running you listen to the sound of the slides closing and adjust the individual cables until the clicks from each slide merge into a single click. Now while opening and closing the throttle (still with engine not running) turn each individual throttle stop screw in until it reaches the exact point where the sound of it closing changes. Now with the engine running turn both/all the throttle stops in by exactly equal amounts until you have the correct idle speed. I suggest checking the oil pump adjustment after adjusting the throttle cables on an engine with oil injection. You can sometimes get much nicer pick-up from idle if you adjust the individual idle mixture (air) screws. With the engine fully warmed up and idling, gently pull the throttle cable to one carburettor (you can only pull it a small amount on Japanese bikes because of the captive cable ferrules). Turn the air screw toward "lean" until you find a point where the engine speed no longer increases slightly as you pull the throttle cable to this carburettor, then turn the screw toward "rich" just enough to regain the slight increase in speed. Repeat for the other carburettor(s). Now you should have a perfectly smooth splutter-free pick-up as you pull away, even if you do so very gently. I think your bike is well set up by the method that you used.
Hi Cedric, thank you for taking the time to type out your comment. You explain it very well. I will see how I get on for now until I get a pair of identical baffles. Then I will set the carbs up again using your method. Kind regards Mickey 🙂
@@MadMickey58 I hope it goes really well. Another thing you can do that will often give smoother running especially at low speeds and also better fuel economy is to replace the spark plugs by precious-metal-tipped ones if they are available in the same heat grade, for example NGK B9EV or B9EGV instead of B9ES in the Suzuki GT250. The precious metal electrodes are of smaller diameter which makes it easier for the spark to jump the gap, and also the surrounding gases are more exposed to the spark which increases the probability of ignition of the gases even when they are heavily diluted with exhaust gas as is the case in a two-stroke engine at small throttle openings.
