Fitting Contact Poiints can be a little bit tricky as anyone with stumpy fingers like me knows!
It is essential to have the correct tools to se the correct gap and acertain top dead centre.
We supply a large range of these tools for working on your Mobylette or other moped engine which including piston stops and top dead centre guages.
We also have a large range of contact points including both aftermarket and genuine available. We have fitted both to different mopeds over the years and when fitting points sometimes a little bit of fettling is required to ensure that they work. It essential to ensure that they open and close as they should. Also replacing the condensor can be a good option when you have the cover removed.
These original type NOVI contact points have just arrived in stock. Only slightly more expensive, it is personal choice which type you use.

Just arrived in stock we have a fantastic range of Gurtner Carburretors.
Please Search our store for what you need.
There are now two fitting options now available. Both Carburettors perform the same, but one is just a little bit easier to fit than the other.
— 12mm inlet carburettor – LOWER COST OPTION
To fit the 12mm carburettor, you will need to remove the original insulating sleeve from inside your original carburettor and put it inside this new one. This will need prising out, without damaging it. This can be a little bit tricky to do as the sleeve can be wedged in over a few years so if you are looking to buying the lower cost option carb then it may be worth seeing if you can remove your sleeve before ordering.Your sleeve will then ensure a snug tight fit when putting the carburettor onto the engine inlet adaptor.
— 10mm inlet carburettor – EASIER FITTING AS ORIGINAL
To fit the 10mm carburettor you should be able to remove your original and this one will fit straight on

- The engine was fitted to a 1970 Raleigh Runabout Moped. This is the first time in 50 years since the Raleigh Runabout was introduced that a new replacement engine has been succesfully fitted and tested making it an extremely proud moment for myself Moped Malc at Classic Moped Spares.
- We have been supplying parts to keep the older engines running for many years, but sometimes it may not be possible to salvage an engine that has been outside in poor conditions. These new engine also offer more power and smoother electronic ignition performance.
Fitting:

Replacement Clutch Drum to replace part number 17251
To see a video of a Clutch Drum being fully tested by Classic Moped Spares please click here . The engine also has been fitted with a new carburettor, clutch nut and grease nipple.
We have also now added a number of complete clutch units as well.
Please note new units do not come with Woodruff Keys. These were thrown away when Mobylette serviced bikes due to the potential damage that they could cause if they broke. You will not find later models of mobylette or new replacement clutches with Woodruff keys.
Mobylette stoppped fitting/replacing these keys and in later models. There was not even a groove for them to be fitted if you check later model shafts..
If everything is put back together tightly and correctly then the key was effectively surplus to requirements.
Please no longer send me any more information about problems caused by breaking woodruff keys, I do sympathise, but once the damage is done there is little that can be done if one has shattered and wrecked your engine. If you are lucky enough that the damage is not too severe then we may be able to help with replacement clutch units.
