. i must say that at the time i was 10 and got one to go do my paper round go to school the prefects had mopeds so i had one but not for long pigs got me story of my life
I have a 500 Kawasaki 2 stroke and I bought a crankshaft for $385.00 and they had one in stock you believe that ! The only thing you have to do to screw on the oil pump you have to drill out and re-taped left hand threads.
hi Tom,your bike is looking well . i have a 1961 honda c100 its running but i would like to get the engine over hauled . just wandering if the guy who did up your engine would be interested . i live in tipperary
Tom I find your video's very helpful and a great help as I am restoring a 1960 Quickly S. I had an S model when I was16. I am now 83. Could you advise me where is the best place to buy some parts. EXHAUST. HANDLE BARS. WHEEL RIMS. BARREL AND PISTON. SEAT. PLUS SOME SMALL PARTS. I LIVE IN NORTHERN IRELAND. THANKS GRAHAM.
Hello Tom. I’ve just bought a Combinette 1959. I’m the second owner of the moped. But I’m having some problems with the gears. First and neutral works fine but second doesn’t want to go in right. Do you have any suggestions? Kind regards Oskar
Have you opened the engine to see if there is a problem internally?. I am not a mechanic so would not know of another cause other than the gear cable settings that would cause this problem. Consult a mechanic.
@@tomcahill8506 No I have not. But in your video you had a similar problem. You found first gear and neutral but didn’t find second gear. And I’m just wondering how you solved the problem?
Nice that in Kingdom an Zündapp is restaurated, here in german Andi restore actual an english one from 1930 can you help him with part locations for them bike named Raleigh 500 SV ? I will think andi can help you with Zündapp ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G8ITnODSvY8.html
Having watched your video on the off chance that I may need to strip my engine one day you have taught me one vital thing, I certainly don’t want to do it after seeing the traps waiting for you in that little engine. I have just rewatched the mower strip down video again to pick up some welcome pointers and once again thanks for a great video.
hi tom thanks for the video very informative im working on one of those bikes at the moment could you tell where you get your parts please, im in ireland .
Hello i have also One, i have trouble cant put the neutral, it engaged the two speeds but not the neutral, disasemble and assembled the motor just like tour video... Any tip? The neutral on the Middle of the two speeds ?
Great to watch your video which is giving me courage to do mine which looks in many ways exactly like possible basket case in my shed now. You may know already but the small cavity under the seat is for tyre pump, I have no doubt I will be using your video heavily in the next few months. Thanks
@@tomcahill8506 mine has been in a shed for decades and i will need some parts eventually, is there a go to supplier of bits and pieces you can recommend.
Not much difference. C70 has a different kick start and bigger piston . Different rotor as well. The barrell and head are bigger on bore. That's all I know about them.
@tomcahill8506 thanks Tom. I noticed when removing the head, very slight vertical scratches on either side of the piston and inside barrel. What do we think may have caused this ?
My father had one of these years ago and I always remember him taking me out into the countryside on it for a spin during the summers,he had it for years great days and memories and a great reliable bike too.
Where are you.?. I have a lot of spare parts. I'm in Ireland. Some parts can't be bought. You can get them in the UK from NSU spares.co.uk I think. In Germany nsuquickly.de
Fascinating video. I owned a 1962 example (GZD424) for years as a student. My father was a mechanic and he showed me how to replace the kickstart shaft (a weakness in the C100 cured in the C50) and how to rebuild it after a big end/conrod replacement. I always had a spare engine ready to go in as once replaced the big end did not last!! Your video brought me right back to those days. I remember replacing a fork and placing those 2 sets of 21 ball bearings. No RU-vid to help in those days My father got a flywheel puller made in his job (Dublin Gas Co) and we bought the castleated spanner to remove the clutch assembly I sold mine still in perfect condition in 1971 and the new owner made bits of it😒
Yes these items can bring back great memories. Shame they made mush of the bike. Well I'm not a mechanic and I could find no video that didn't have a load of waffle attached to it, that one could watch without being bored of the person on the video.So many people want to be famous.
Hi Tom. When you re assemble the screw that holds the right and middle housing should the nut be on the inside or the outside or does it not matter? I rebuild my own engine Last week and Think i placed the nut on the inside so the screw goes in from the outside and not in from the inside and out to the nut at the flywheel. Hope for answer and some advice if you Think i matter or not, either Way the bolt and nut is tight and wont Come off, and either Way I could not tight it anymore without taken the clutch cover off :) Hope it makes sense Best regards Lars
And another question, what would happen if the gear dog is installed the wrong Way so that the side with the deep Cut is upwards? Would the bike be able to shift into gear or would it jump out of gear and make bad sounds?
Hi LARS, I have found them both ways, but normally the nut is inside. If the nut falls off it might manage to slip down and cause no damage, where the bolt might. But it should not open really.
Hello Tom, another question Thanks for the response. I rebuild my own engine and was very aware that the gear dog was placed with the right side upwards the side that is not Cut out hope you know what i mean. Afterwards i became paranoid i did it wrong and was wondering what the symptoms would be if i have placed the gear dog wrongly with the Cut out side upwards? The bike runs great in both gears and very well in the first gear which should be the gear affected if the gear dog was turned the wrong Way around. It drives fine up Hills and under load. Hope the question make sense. I performed the test where i presses the lever on the right side of the motor with a screwdriver and both gears went in well, so what would the symptoms be if the gear dog was installed the wrong side upwards (the deep and Cut out side upwards or in other words against the ignition side) Best regards Lars. Great to learn something new
Hello, dear Quickly riders! Because I only make films with "real" motorcycles, I had never really considered the Quickly, despite a long motorcycling life. Until I met someone on the road with a Quickly. This resulted in some 4K riding movies, which you might also enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kXuwljsh75c.html Greetings from Bonn, Uncle M
Hi Tom. I contacted you a fewxweeks ago regarding a NSU Quickly we are restoring. Have a look at the video and see if you can spot anything missing . Thank you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U_HNQUDq_HM.htmlsi=CZT2AEi6l0negx9b
Hi Tom , great video and useful in the event of future engine rebuild I wonder if you could advise? My model N 2 speed revs happily in neutral but pulls poorly when you take off in 1st gear. I’ve cleaned carb, the needle is on second notch so maybe main jet? Grateful for any advise Regards
They all lose power when you go to put it into gear. I think the best is to pedal start the bike and keep pedalling until the power kicks in. There's probably nothing wrong, but if you're still having trouble, consult a mechanic as I am not one.
