Up for sale: Used motor from a 1977 Motobecane moped. This engine was removed from a moped that had been sitting for about the past 1 and a half. I was told that it ran fine when parked. But I am listing it as a parts motor due to the fact that it was not running when removed. The carb was already missing when I received it. The motor does have compression and spins free, not stuck. I did get it to fire for a few seconds after hooking up a temporary spark plug coil and giving it a shot of starting fluid. The motor is basically complete (BUT IT COMES WITH NO CARB AND NO SPARK PLUG COIL) It does come with the intake and drive belt. Some of the wiring harness is still hooked to the motor. It also comes with the motor mount bolt, nut and spacers. Please look at picture # 5, I want to point out that the flywheel side, nut looks to have stripped and mauled, from someone who tried to remove without having the right tool and very little common sense. I just wanted to point that out. There is alot of good usable parts here. If you own one of these, this is a low cost way of getting alot of parts that you may need now or down the road. But remember this has not ran for the last year. It a parts motor. Would make a nice motor to rebuild for your rally ped or hang on to for a spare. Please look closely at all the pictures above. Listed with a low buy now price. Thanks for looking!!
