The meaning of "size"

Definition of size

 

Size: The size of a drum brake shoe is not it’s actual length and width. The size is the width, and the diameter of the imaginary circle which the arc is a part of, which is also the brake drum diameter. Notice that the actual length is a little less than the drum diameter. So a 90 x 20 mm brake shoe is actually about 84 mm long by 20 mm wide. 

Brakes that have the same drum diameter and width, can still be different, because of these things: the pivot post can have different positions, thicknesses and widths, the spreader shaft can have different positions, thicknesses and widths, the spring holes can have different positions and widths. So the size is actually several numbers, not just two.

Note 1. EBC322 requires grinding. Without grinding the spring rubs and makes noise. The depth is made just deep enough so that the coils of the spring never touch the brake shoes. In the photo, right is before grinding, left is after.

Note 2. All pre-1978 and some 1978-80 Motobecanes have Motobecane brakes, MB# 21730 (EBC876). There is a left and a right shoe. Most Motobecanes have these brake shoes, but some 1978-80 have Leleu brakes, MB# 16104 (EBC322). On those both shoes are the same, like most other drum brakes.

Note 3. EBC322m is made from a EBC322 by 1. slight grinding of the sides at the spreader end, 2. dremmeling on the inner side of the spreader spring hooks to make the spring stay farther away from the spreader cam, 3. reusing the original MB springs because they are thinner.

Note 4. The Grimeca 90×18 brake shoe has the most moped applications. It is on almost all Italian moped and mini-bike spoke wheels. It is also on German (Hercules), Austrian (KTM), Yugoslavian (Tomos), Mexican (Carabela), and American (AMF) moped spoke wheels. The Italian made Grimeca 90×18 brake shoe is second only to the French made Leleu 80×18 brake shoe in total number of units.

Note 5. Grimeca-U brake shoes are the same as Grimeca except for the spring. The red places in the photo are what is different. Grinding and drilling are necessary to convert Grimeca type shoes to Grimeca-U type. 

Note 6. There is no visible difference on the outside, between a V-spring brake plate and non-V-spring (U-spring or dual coil) brake plate, but inside there are three differences.  1) the cam shaft on a V-spring type has a retaining plate, while a coil spring type has no plate (to allow installation by “folding the taco into a tortilla”).  2) the pivot shaft on a V-spring type is longer and has a rounded groove for the V-spring.  3) the pivot shaft on a V-spring has no center groove for retention, while the coil spring and U-spring types have a center groove (for the center ridge on the shoes). In this photo the left 2 are U-spring and the rest are V-spring.

Note 7. These are the older Jawa spoke wheel brake shoes, with 5.0 mm thick lining instead of 2.5mm. That makes the diameter increase from 85 to 90mm, to fit “Italian standard 90mm” moped wheels. 

Note 8. These are EBC613 brakes with the pivot post half-hole widened from 8mm to 9mm, for the bigger Indian post, and with thinner Indian coil springs.

Note 9. The modern aftermarket EBC613 spring holes do not have enough material and strength for a U-spring. The older Indian brake shoes have much more material around the spring holes. So EBC613 cannot safely be drilled out to accept a U-spring. That’s why Indian90U replacements are unavailable.

Note 10. Many Indian mopeds with beautiful Taiwan-made Mira snowflake mags need these brake shoes, because the originals deteriorate and/or de-laminate. These EBC brakes look different, with different ribs than original, but they are an exact replacement.

Note 11. EBC601 is the same as EBC615, except the lining is wider. Grind off 2.5 mm from each side to make a 615 from a 601.

Note 12. Derbi brake plates can have two different cam thicknesses. Older models 1977-78 mostly had 10mm thick cams and 105251 brake shoes. Later models from about 1979-on had 8mm thick cams and 105252 brake shoes. See photo. 105252 shoes have steel plates on the cam end, but 105251 do not. To make 105252 shoes fit on an early 10mm cam either the steel plates must be removed from the brake shoes, or the 10mm cam ground thinner to 8mm.

Note 13. Derbi 105252 brake shoes (for 8mm cam) are made in two versions that interchange. Derbi-105-open type shoes have half-circle pivot ends, while Derbi-105-hole shoes have full circle pivot ends.

Brake Shoes Info

Types: There are four types of drum brake shoes used on mopeds:

EBC 908 brake shoes1. Open type with coil springs: When the center of the wheel is small enough, the open type with coil springs is preferred because servicing is easier. To install, connect the springs and place the shoes in the shape of a taco. Then fold the taco into a flat tortilla. That stretches the springs without any tools. Then tap the shoes with the handle of a screwdriver until they snap into place. The advantage of this style is easy servicing. 

 

EBC880 photoEBC8802. Hole type with coil springs: These brake shoes have a large hole in the pivot post end, and two small coil spring holes. They cannot be installed by “folding the taco into a tortilla”. But they also cannot separate from the pivot post. The advantage is slightly more safety.

When the center of the wheel is big and the brake drum is small, the U spring or V spring type is required. Otherwise the coil springs rub on the wheel center and make a violin sound.

EBC 908D brake shoes3. Open type with U spring: The U spring goes inside the pivot post. The brake shoes and brake plate are the same as the hole type with coil springs. Only the spring is different, a single large U-spring instead of two small coils. For Grimeca 90 x 18, minor modifications to the coil spring brake shoes are required to fit a U-spring. See below. The advantage of this type is greater spring clearance and compatibility with type 1. 

 

Grimeca V-SpringEBC9314. Hole type with V spring: The V spring goes outside the pivot post. These brake shoes have a large hole on the pivot end (not the smaller spring holes), and the V spring goes around the pivot post. So the pivot post has a rounded groove for the spring. The advantage of this type is slightly more reliability and safety. 

But installing the spring is difficult and requires a special spreader tool. At left is that tool. It is made from a M6 x 30 screw, nut, washers, special lip-washer for centering, and a 12mm piston pin. The piston pin end and screw head are ground to fit the spring so it can’t slip off. Price $15

 

 

 

Installing Leleu 70mm replacement brake shoes

The replacements have thinner and weaker spring anchor hooks. They can break off during installation when the spring has to be stretched to go over the hook. To prevent breaking the spring hooks, there are two things on the brake plate that need to be ground. One is the top lip on the pivot post. It needs to be reduced in diameter, but with some lip remaining for retention. The top edge needs to be rounded. That helps to not overstretch the spring. Two is the top lip on the spreader cam. It too needs to be reduced, but with some lip remaining for retention.

Once those areas are ground, the shoes can be installed with just fingers and no tools. Do not use prying tools. Only fingers are needed.

July 14, 2014

updated 2022-01

Identification and Dating: Original reflectors have to comply with safety standards in effect at the time they were made. The compliance markings that are molded into the front plastic give a clue to when and where the vehicle was made. The vehicle is always made after the compliance standard, usually many years later. Original tail lights and head lights also have compliance standards that can be used in identification and dating.

Ink stamps: Some reflectors also have an ink stamp on the back indicating the date that the reflector was made. The date the reflector was made is usually many years after the compliance date.

SAE Society of Automotive Engineers is a USA based standards organization that now is worldwide and called SAE International.

UNECE United Nations Economic Commision for Europe makes worldwide standards for automotive equipment and other things. The UNECE “E” number, with a circle around it, on the reflector indicates compliance for a particular country. E1 is Germany, E2 is France, E3 is Italy, … E11 is England, E12 is Austria and 59 other countries worldwide. See country codes for UN reg. 3

JIS Japan Industry Standards are separate from Europe. East Asian countries like Taiwan, China and Korea use Japan standards. So reflectors made in those countries do not have an “E” number.

Speed nuts:  Nuts normally screw on, but speed nuts push on. So they should more properly be called “push-on fasteners”. Once “on” they cannot be removed, except by using a dental pick tool to pry and bend back each of the inner petals.

Self-threading nuts (thread cutting nuts) screw on to plastic posts. They can be removed easily, but should not be tightened as much as a normal nut that size.

Broken posts: It is difficult to remove speed nuts without breaking the plastic post. Because of that, many used reflectors have their posts broken off. When that happens the reflector can be re-used by drilling a hole where the post was and using a small screw and nut, instead of the post and speed nut.

Cushions: All of the major moped brands that have reflectors attached by speed nuts use cushions under the speed nut, except Vespa (Piaggio). The cushions protect the posts from breaking and reduce the damaging or annoying effects of vibration.

Shocks

July 14, 2014

Welcome. Shocks are priced and sold by each unless stated.

Price Range: Dark green price is for used in rough condition. Bright green price is for new condition. Some shocks are available in various used states, ranging from “rough” to “like new”. So the dark green is the lower limit, and the bright green is the upper limit, of the price range. Most will be in between the low and the high, and priced accordingly.

N/A means Not Available. 

 

Damping: Most of these rear shocks do not have hydraulic fluid (oil) damping. Since most are pure springs with no damping, they are very bouncy. Certain high quality ones have some damping, and are less bouncy.

Length: The length is from center of hole to center of hole.

Width: Besides length and eyelet sizes, some shocks are limited in width by the frame or body panels. On Motobecane for example, you can’t put wider shocks even with the same length and eyelets (unless some bodywork is cut off).

Stiffness: You can’t tell how strong a spring is, until you squeeze it. Heavier people need heavier springs, and vice versa. 

Travel: Mopeds are for going slow on smooth roads, and so do not need much suspension travel (how far the wheels can move up or down when hitting a big bump). More travel makes the bike taller, but more able to handle bumps. 2 to 4 inches is typical.

<< This Tomos 221032 shock has more travel, more precision, and other features that make it outperform most other moped shocks. It has some damping, more than other moped shocks, but not as much as a true hydraulic shock. It is also adjustable in spring preload (stiffness) for different rider weights. The longer travel makes bumps feel smaller.

1. Ball Bearings

 Ball bearing types

Loose    the balls can be removed individually (and roll away forever)

1-piece  the balls are in a retainer ring than cannot be removed
1-piece  the contact is radial in a full-U shape “full contact”
1-piece  for carrying pure-radial loads (perpendicular to the axle)

3-piece  the balls are in a retainer ring that can be removed
3-piece  the contact is angular in a half-U shape, for some side loads
3-piece  only Bo15, L17 and E20 are 3-piece “angular contact”

1-piece versions

00    open: has no shields or seals
RS   sealed: has a rubber seal on one side
2RS double sealed: has rubber seals on both sides
Z     shielded: has a shield on one side
ZZ   double shielded: has shields on both sides

The shields or seals are pressed in. They can be removed by poking a small hole with something like a dental pick, and then prying the hole outward.

Note 1: This is on 1984-later Puch E50 engines, with crankshaft 349.310.1150 (not 349.110.1150). It has the same dimensions 17 x 40 x 12, but the inner race on the side opposite the outer clip groove is recessed by 1 mm to 11. It is also for the Top Racing crank, and other late-80’s compatibles.

Roller bearings can carry more weight, but are for low rpm. Thin long rollers are called “needle”.
Ball bearings can take higher rpms and have less friction than rollers.
Rollers can be horizontal (radial loads), angled (radial and side loads), or vertical (side loads).
All of these below have horizontal rollers for pure radial loads.

The benefits of a needle bearing compared to a bushing are 1) ability to operate with low lubrication, 2) less friction and therefore less heat generated, 3) floating needles can fit a small range of diameters, as long as OD minus ID equals twice the roller diameter.

One side has writing and an anti-clockwise arrow. The other side is plain.
Viewed from the writing end, the shaft can only rotate anti-clockwise. Clockwise it locks solid.
Installed in a Tomos clutch drum, the writing side faces out.
When a Tomos piston seizes, this can get damaged, and become locked in both directions. 

6. Bushings

Spacers and bushings are metal or plastic tubes, that can have the same appearance. The name depends on what the tube does. A “spacer” carries an axial load, where the length matters the most. A “bushing” carries a radial load, where the diameter matters the most. Bushings are also called “plain bearings”. Spacers are also called “distance bushings”. This source of confusion is similar to that of “mopeds” and “scooters”.

Clacking vs Clattering

Precision Reaming

Most of these require reaming after they are pressed into the rod. The reasons are 1) they have a very tight press fit for their size, so much that the inside diameter becomes smaller after they are pressed in, and 2) some are made slightly larger or smaller than others. Only Puch and Jawa offered pre-reamed piston pin bushings, which can sometimes need light reaming. The reason why not every kind is made pre-reamed, is that pre-reamed or re-used ones do not hold as tight as un-reamed new ones. When they don’t hold tight they can slip easier.

Disaster strikes: Piston bushing slippage causes oil hole blockage. Then the piston pin and bushing do not get any lubrication. Not having oil mixed with the gasoline also causes the piston bushing to not get any lubrication. Without oil, soon the bushing overheats and sticks-melts to the piston pin. That causes the piston pin to rotate back and forth inside the piston, instead of being stationary. After a while the piston pin holes wear out. The loose piston begins to make a clacking sound at idle and a screeching sound at high speed. The compression ratio is reduced by the loose piston. That causes the engine to be less powerful and difficult to start. The incomplete combustion also makes the spark plug black, which worsens the tendency to be difficult or impossible to start.

1. Seals

Seals are for sealing rotating or sliding shafts where they emerge from a sealed compartment. Fork seals and shifter shaft seals are sliding type. Engine seals are rotating type.

This seal inner lip has a circular thin coil spring that holds onto the rotating shaft. Click to enlarge and see the tiny coils of the spring.

Most engine seals are for preventing oil leakage. When four-stroke crank seals leak, the engine still runs the same, but oil drips out. But two-stroke crank seals are also pressure seals, keeping air in (or out). When they leak, gas-oil mist leaks out, and fresh air leaks in. Then the engine won’t idle or accelerate good. That is because two-strokes “breathe” through the crankcase.

Metric seals are specified by their type and size (inner, outer, and thickness, in mm).

Applications and year ranges listed below are for models that sold new in the USA. Many of the year ranges would begin earlier or end later for worldwide models.

1. Quarter-turn 27mm

This is a special size gas cap, only found only on some Trac models:

1983-90 Clipper, 1982-86 Eagle, 1984-88 Escot, 1984-89 Liberty, 1986-89 Olympic, and maybe 1988-90 Blitz.

It is part number 21204 or 17620-M56-8900. 

A 30mm quarter turn cap is too big and cannot be made to fit by simple grinding.

2. Quarter-turn 30mm

For quarter-turn gas caps, the named size is the inner diameter of the filler neck it fits into. The actual size of the gas cap is a little less than the named size. That’s why a 28mm gas cap on the internet is called 30mm here, or a 38 is called 40 here.

4. Quarter-turn 40mm

For quarter-turn gas caps, the named size is the inner diameter of the filler neck it fits into. The actual size of the gas cap is a little less than the named size. That’s why these are called 40mm here, but they are called 38mm elsewhere.

8. Push-in 28mm

The early Vespa Ciao, 1967-68 up to frame #154099, had a light gray plastic 28mm push-in gas cap. Myrons does not have any, not even a photo.

After that it was a 32mm push-in.

 

9. Push-in 30mm

The named size of push-in gas caps is the inner diameter of the filler neck, 30mm. The actual size is smaller, 28 or 29 so it can slide in. But the seal lip or rubber ring is bigger 31mm, so it can get squeezed as it pushes in.

10. Push-in 32mm

The push-in gas caps 10a, 10c, 10d, 10f have a thick rubber ring that is made too large, 34-35mm. Right out of the package it is too big to enter a 32mm gas tank filler neck, even with grease and care. The rubber ring must be ground down to reduce the outer diameter to 33mm. This makes the price a few dollars more.

It’s amazing how much that Derbi gas cap shrank, from 32 to 30mm. And how the one from the newer model shrank, but the older model one did not. So a badly shrunken one could fit nicely on a Peugeot! Other soft plastic push-in gas caps with lips, not rubber rings, also shrink, like Peugeot. Only those 35 year old NOS ones that have been kept in a sealed plastic bag are not shrunk.

 Early Garelli Super Sport mopeds had this 42mm screw-on gas cap, while later models had 30mm quarter-turn gas caps. The M42x1.5 external threads on the tank measure 41.5mm. The M42x1,5 internal threads on the cap measure 40.5mm. Many of these shrink with age, unless they are kept in a sealed plastic bag. Then the internal diameter decreases from 40.5 to 40.0 or less, and the cap screws on tightly or only partially.

These gas lids are not shrunk because they were kept in a plastic bag for 40 years. Others that are shrunk are offered at half price. Those were exposed to the air for 40 years.

Almost all moped gas caps are vented. Some have a vent switch. When you transport the bike laying on it’s side, gasoline drips out of the air vent hole in the gas cap. With a vent switch you can close the vent hole during transport or storage, and open it during regular use.

Gas caps come in 4 types. 1. Quarter turn, 2. Push in, 3. Screw on, 4. Pop up. Each type has different sizes.

Quarter turn gas lids on mopeds. L to R, 30, 40, 60mm

30 and 40mm quarter turn “regular wing”, 40mm quarter turn “external wing”. Many other quarter turn wing styles are possible. Two other moped styles are nick named “thin wing” and “wide wing”.

Quarter turn has two “wings” on opposite sides that enter two slots in the gas tank lip. Then when the gas cap is rotated 90 degrees to the right, which is one fourth of a turn, it locks on and seals the outer edge by the spring tension in the wings. The spring has a certain amount of “travel” that allows the lid to work (seal) on a range of gas tank lip thicknesses, or as the rubber or cork gasket gets thin. But sometimes a thicker rubber washer is needed to get the wings to push harder and seal better. In the 30mm size an extra 2mm thick rubber is sold here, but not for 40mm, at this time.

Push in lid gas tanks have a smooth round wall, about as deep as it is wide. The lids are usually black plastic with thin flexible circular ridges that press against the wall. The entrance has a taper for easy operation. In the 1977 USA moped standards, push in gas lids were supposedly required to be quarter turn. Puch, Cimatti, Garelli, and Sachs switched from push-in to quarter-turn but not everyone else did. Again in 2010, quarter turn gas caps are mandated in the USA, this time not for safety reasons, but for environmental ones.

Screw on lid gas tanks have threads. The lid must be screwed on one or more full turns clockwise. The threads on the lid can be either female (internal) or male (external). Most modern screw on lids are more like bottle cap threads, more coarse than machine threads. Also the tops and bottoms of the threads have wide plateaus. Some are at right, not listed.

Pop up gas lids are generally on top tank mopeds and modern motorcycles. Turn the key or push the button and the lid pops open.

Vent Hole: All moped gas caps are “vented”. That means they have a tiny pinhole or channel that lets air get in or out. If the pinhole is blocked, after awhile a suction will develop, the gasoline supply will stop, especially with a full tank. They all have a vent design that prevents gasoline from shooting out, like a wall or a maze, but lets air get through. Some gas caps have a vent switch, “on” or open for riding, “off” or closed for transport and storage. All vented gas lids will leak gas if the tank is too full or leaned over too far.

Shrinkage: Unless they have been kept stored in an air tight bag, many of the vintage moped plastic gas caps shrink after 20 or 40 years. The Peugeot and Colombia black plastic push-in 30mm lids become 29 or 28mm. The 32mm late Derbi black plastic push-in lid becomes 30mm. The Garelli 42mm screw-on black plastic lid becomes 41 or 40. When a push in lid shrinks, it gets loose and falls off. One remedy for that is a “leash” made out of a twist tie. Another remedy is a thin rubber o-ring, but it’s hard to find the correct size. With push-in gas caps, the actual diameter will be slightly more, about 0.5 millimeter, than the tank hole inner diameter, to make a light press fit. So a 30mm lid should be 30.5mm wide, a 40 should be 40.5. With screw on male lids there can be shrinkage and the lid will still function, because it does not seal on the loose threads. But when a female (internal thread) screw-on lid gets smaller, it becomes tight and difficult or impossible to screw on.

2. Grycner      made in Taiwan by Jui Li      Sachs 505-1A foot brake

Grycner Floozie

1978 Grycner Floozie

Grycner is the name of the US importer/distributor, Grycner Motors, Palm Springs, California USA . Grycners were made from 1978 to 1979 by Jui Li Enterprise Co. Ltd, 22 Konan Rd, Jenwu Hsiang, Kaohsiung Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C. Jui Li only produced mopeds. Grycner Floozie is a step thru with a Sachs 505 engine, foot brake, identical to a General 5-Star ST. Grycner was replaced by General in 1979.

Grycner was the only moped that came with “dingle balls” decorations on the handlebars.

Info Lazer Sport 50

Lazer is a trade name made by the US importer/distributor, North American Roosevelt Industries Inc, 405 Park Ave, New York, New York 10022. Lazers were made from 1977 to 1979 by Jui Li Enterprise Co. Ltd, 22 Konan Rd, Jenwu Hsiang, Kaohsiung Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C.. Jui Li made only mopeds. Lazer Sport 50 (originally Sprint 50) is a 1977 top tank, bright orange, with a Minarelli V1 engine. It looks identical to the General 5-Star, but there are subtle differences. There is also a less common 1979 Lazer with a Morini MO-1 engine.

 

 

1977 Lazer Sport 50

The Lazer Sport 50 got it’s good looks from France.

The Lazer Sport 50 is a copy of this earlier 1975 Peugeot Sport

Lazer and General are Taiwan copies of this,

1978 Lazer Sport 50

1978 Lazer Sport 50, in paradise.

The Lazer Sport 50 and the later General 5 Star are both copies of an earlier 1975 Peugeot Sport 50. That is why (Taiwan) General side panels interchange with (French) Peugeot 103 ones.

In 1979 Lazer was replaced by the  “General 5 Star”. Some components (controls) and frame details changed also, so a 1979 Lazer Sport 50 is about 95% the same as a 1980 General 5 Star. 

Thirty years later, the Lazer name is again on mopeds. This time it’s a Chinese four stroke, made by Chongoing Astronautic Bashan Motorcycle Manufacturing Company LTD (Bashan). That modern 2007-later 4-stroke Lazer, also known as SSR, is not covered here.

A.M.S. was made by Her Chee Industrial Co., Ltd, 2 Yikung 1st Rd, Yichu Industrial Area, Yichu Hsiang, Chiayi Hsien, Taiwan, ROC. Her Chee began in 1978 making “moped bikes” with their own brand name “AMS” (Adly Moped and Scooter). In 1985 they switched to making scooters, kid’s motorcycles and ATVs with their new brand name “Adly Moto”.

AMS mopeds were made from 1979 to 1984. They here with the Jui Li-made mopeds because they are 90% the same. They are not Jui Li remakes, because they were made concurrently. The US importer was A.M.S. Imports, 923 Moana West, Reno Nevada 89509, or 1110 S Wells Av, Reno NV 89502.

See the long brake lever blades? and the big wheel hubs? and the small black turn signals? Those are things that an AMS has, that are different from Jui Li made mopeds. Just about everything else is the same as Jui Li made mopeds, like General or Lazer.

Wirings and Other Electrical

September 13, 2012

Generic Wiring Harness

 

This is a main wiring harness for 3-or-more-coil moped magnetos (ignition, lights, brake light). It can be configured for 2-coil magnetos (ignition/brake light, lights). See below for possible configurations. It is shown as a photo and a schematic. It comes with the round chrome switches, right for engine stop, left for headlight and horn. Price $95

This is only the front main harness. A rear harness, engine to tail light, and connector block are needed to make a complete harness, but they’re not included.

Here is that generic wiring harness adapeted to fit a Garelli (US model), with an external ignition ground on the blue magneto wire.

Voltage Regulators

2. 221582 voltage regulator 12VAC  $45.0 80w Tomos A35 no battery ’92-06

5. 054704 voltage regulator    6VAC $25.0 40w used MB with heat sink

Regulators 1, 2 and 3 can interchange. They all regulate the voltage on the yellow wire, by dumping any excess voltage into the brown wire, that goes to the frame. They keep the AC voltage below about 13 volts. This allows the use of a stronger generator, for brighter lights when stopped and the engine is idling. The stronger generator would otherwise be too strong when the engine was running fast, and would make a voltage over 13 volts, maybe 14 or 16. That would make the lights super bright, but they would soon burn out. The regulator prevents bulb burnout from too much voltage. The bulbs can also burn out from too much vibration. The regulator would not help that.

Regulators 2 and 3 have blade connectors that are duplicates (connected together inside) or unused (not connected inside).
