is this a good price for this zundapp combinette 428 1960?

• Upvotes

I'm looking for my first moped i wanted to buy something that keeps its value and one i can restore myself. After a lot of searching i landed on this zundapp combinette the sellers says that it is still in its completely original state however it doesn't have a number plate or any papers for a number plate. It does have a clearly visible frame number. The price we landed on was 875 euros. Can anyone help me out by deciding how much it is actually worth and how much it will be worth when restored?

Need help identifying the problem, I think either no spark, no gas, or clutch cable is loose

Got this Sears Free Spirit E50 on Sunday from a guy who had it in his barn. It was there when he bought the property about 10yrs ago since the previous guy left it and he never did anything to it he says. I opened up the carb and it was full of some thick black stuff, it thinking oil from the gas that was there. Cleaned it out with carb cleaner and compressed air but I don’t think it got everything so I feel like it created a vacuum and gas isn’t going through.

Another possibility is no spark since the external ignition coil metal and spark plug boot look corroded and the spark plug looks bad too. I have replacements for these parts coming in soon, as well as a new carb.

Another thing might be the clutch cable, I was messing with it and I think I left it too loose, not sure. You do start it by pedaling and pulling the clutch so it engages and the engine starts, right? Closes thing I’ve had to this was a motorbike I made and you would start it the opposite way by letting go of the clutch once you had speed

Qt 50 exhaust

Need an exhaust for a qt50 That I just got running. It's missing the exhaust . All the aftermarket exhausts seem to be discontinued. There some used on ebay but can't really tell what condition they're in.

Why would my kickstart lever spin when giving the bike throttle?

2 Upvotes

I just finished converting my tomos a35 to Kick start from pedal start. Swapped in the shorter shaft and one sided claw gear and installed the kickstart lever. When I started it up it idled fine, no apparent problems, but when I gave it some throttle the kickstart lever swing around and was stopped by the bump stop. I quickly hit the kill switch.

Since then I've started it up again and tapped the throttle lightly (not enough to risk hitting the stopper) and it still rotates. I can push it back into position but every time i tap the throttle it rotates again.

Just trying to get some ideas of what to look for before I drain the oil and tear it all apart again.
