Just rode it home in 35*f weather.

Body wise, the only flaw is its missing one of the front turning singles. Motor wise it has a problem shifting into second and staying in second. I would think it also needs a good carb cleaning, so when i have it apart ill do that too. Pedal it foreword to ride it like a bike, pedal backwards to start it. Starts up super easy, and rips off the line. Best part is its a a35 motor, meaning if i ever need parts i can not only get them. But i can get them after market.
I think ill keep it stock through the winter, and assuming i got extra cash in the spring ill build it up nice.

2 speed auto.

with only two gears, not having second is kinda a big deal.

Looks nice Dac. I like the wheels.

Is the tape on the seat to stick your * down when it accelerates

if that was the case it would be on the front tire, i pulled an accidental wheelie already.

ill be glad when this thing runs good, because just riding it around, when there is power there is allot of power.

Nice moped find Dac! Looks sexy in white. I like the style of that one, its same as one in the throw a kit vid.

Yup just checked, at 1:56 and some shots of it in background with exhaust later:
