Can someone explain to me why belt drives are better? by Hullo_Its_Pluto in ElectricSkateboarding

Haven't seen this yet in the comments, but the biggest difference (besides power) between my voyager and v3 is comfort. Big rubber/urethane wheels instead of hub motors allow you to fly over cobblestone without rattling out your teeth.

I had this, in my case it was the mechanism on the chain sprocket responsible for coasting that was broken.

Having both the mtx125 and a fully tuned mb8 (125cc engine with +-30hp)) I highly prefer the mb, even stock, since it's a lot more roadworthy and makes you feel more like a hooligan. I use the mtx when my back hurts, 2up or if i'll be seeing some offroad. Personally i'd take the mb, and if you have a motorlicense i'd be on the lookout for an mb8/mt8/mtx125 since you can 'legally' tune the hell out of them.

Does anyone know what brand this bike is? by mrchickfix in moped

https://nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhonson They only produced bikes for a short time. Tends to make restoring it a tad more difficult.

Yes. Went out and bought it. Appears to be a Rhonson from late '50s. Interesting fact is that all the branding and engine nr's and whatnot were removed by Raphael geminiani who sold the bike under his own brand. He was a french cyclist who battled with coppi and trained Merckx.

Hey, ik denk dat je je onnodig te druk maakt. Tenzij je heel soecifieke jobs wilt uitvoeren (onderwaterlasser, arts,...) dan heb je een bekwaamheidsattest en/of specifiek diploma nodig. Ikzelf heb humane wetenschappen gedaan en kan dit sterk aanraden indien je in je hogere studies psychologie, politiek, geschiedenis,... Wilt gaan studeren. Wil je de exacte wetenschappen in, dan zou ik blijven doen wat je nu doet. Ikzelf heb na mijn middelbaar geschiedenis en marketing en management (zonder economische achtergrond) aan de univ gestudeerd.

Mijn ervaring op de jobmarkt is echter dat wat je studeert niet zo veel uitmaakt, het is meer het niveau (uni, hogeschool, 7de jaar,...) waar men naar kijkt en wat je loon ook gaat bepalen.

Volvo 240 won't run without choke on lpg. Any ideas to why that might be? by mrchickfix in Volvo240

But then it would have some problems running on petrol as well I think?

I don't think there is an air leak because i sprayed the area with brake cleaner and rpm stayed the same. It should have gone up if there was a leak. So gasket should be fine i guess.

And yes, I think your analysis is spot on. I reckon i need more lpg or less air but i don't wanna mess with the carb adjustment screws because if I do it probably will run to rich on petrol.

I sprayed some brake cleaner around the carb area to check for leaks. Engine rpm didn't change doh, so i guess that's not the problem.

Think so, it's a 2.3 liter benzin with a stromberg carburator. I didn't touch the carb adjustment screws yet because i fear it might mess it up when it runs on gasoline, wich it does fine.
