M.A.D get a new ped!!!(to pull apart)

Wohooo new ped will be collected on friday!

Info
A5 Colibri was primarily designed to replace the aging A3 Automatic. First series was presented in 1988. Everything on the moped was developed from scratch with a strong emphasis on styling and modern technical solutions. A connection between Italian designer Giugiaro and Tomos™ has been established and from this corporation a completely new bodywork and detail design emerged. On the technical side Tomos™ development team designed a new engine attached to a swinging arm monoblock, which also supports inlet and exhaust components and the rear wheel with fender. It's connected to a motorcycle-style square tube frame by a monoshock suspension.
Ergonomic and user-friendly features like the seat locking and height adjustment, helmet locking, flat foot rest, foldable turning signals, rain deflectors, grab bar and conveniently located fuel valve were also incorporated into the design. Handling was improved by wider wheel base, which made moped more stable at high speeds.

Awesome moped store! Less of the new, more of the old please.

hows that clutch dude?

An investigation into my first gear clutch problems.

Ok today after a month of not doing anything to do with mopeds i decided at last it was time to investigate why my first gear clutch stopped engaging in my tomos.

So i pulled the clutch cover. I was expecting the surfaces of the clutch to have lost its coating but when i removed the first gear clutch its surface was like new.

After some further investigation i found that the clutch has three pins that keep it aligned see No.7 on the next picture.

 
All three of these had snapped in half allowing the clutch to spin freely.

So it turns out all i need to repair the clutch is three new ones. But where from? Hmmm..........
