This Florida man is taking his pear-shaped moped on a summer cross-country road trip. See link below ⬇️

Really loved the look of the original tank but here's the new tank, still needs a bit of tweaking to get the tank and seat just right.

Sadly, my love for the original tank is rivaled only by its love for leaking on me, and I'm not getting paid to be a plumber, so I'll likely get around to fixing it eventually, but for now, a new tank is joining the ride this summer, close enough. Luckily the oem cap fits the new tank because the one it came with is butt ugly. Probably gonna have to remake the seat to fit.

So for the second time in my life, I got to experience the rare privilege of working on a **brand new, zero-mile QMB engine** — fresh from the factory, never touched, full of dreams and disappointment.

This time it was an XPro. Customer orders it, it arrives, and this magnificent new machine **refuses to start.** Just sits there. Brand new. Smelling like fresh plastic and broken promises.

I dig in and find a pilot jet so small it looked like someone sneezed on a piece of metal and called it a part. I'm talking **squinting through a magnifying glass** going *"is that... is that a hole? Or is that a smudge?"* Swapped it for a 35, and hallelujah — it runs! Sort of. Like a asthmatic turtle, but technically running.

Pop the carb back open to check the main jet. It's labeled **88.**

**EIGHTY. EIGHT.**

On a 50cc engine. From the factory. As if someone in QC looked at that and went *"yeah, that seems right, ship it."*

Threw in a 78 and suddenly the thing actually wanted to move.

Moral of the story: I've wrenched on a hundred beat-to-death QMBs and they ran better than these **brand new ones straight from the box.** These things arrive pre-broken as a courtesy. Factory-fresh, warranty-void, spiritually clapped.

Truly incredible. 🛵
