1977 MOPEDS

Most rad blasty 70cc mopeds either go with a Mikuni VM20, or some sort of Dellorto PHBG.  We are going to list out a few things you will need if you choose to go the Dellorto route.

First you need to figure out if the PHBG is a clamp mount, or a Spigot.  If it is a clamp, it more than likely will just clamp onto your intake.  If your intake is welded steel, you probably will need a spigot mount carburetor.

If you have a spigot mount Dellorto, you will need a rubber coupler to connect the two halves.  The carb to the intake.  We recommend this guy here:

Once you have your carb attached correctly, you are going to make sure it is tuned.  There are a bunch of great articles on Moped Army telling you how to do that.  Check out this one: and this one:.  For the actual parts you need to do the tuning, you will need the following.

5mm Dellorto Main Jet

You will probably need a range of jets to get the right one.  I would go to Garage, and try and find a similar setup to yours, and get some jets around there.  You basically won’t be able to do it with one jet.

Dellorto PHBG Idle Jet

The most popular idle jet that people typically use is a #45.

Dellorto PHBG Needle

That is pretty much the basics on what you need to get your bike set up pretty with your new Dellorto PHBG.

It has been a long time time in coming, but we are so very proud to announce a refresh on 1977mopeds.com.

You may have noticed an uptick in our shipping speeds over these last 6 months.  We have been working really hard to get the logistics ends of things all in order, and to keep up with the amount of support you all throw at us.  

This brought into bright contrast what a difficult web platform we were working with.  There were many reasons we chose it, but like all things it faded with age.

For the last 6 months along with the shipping project, we have been tackling this new site.  Basically ever single aspect of it is better.

I am going to list some of our favorite features:

Search actually works!!  And really quickly!

The site is fast! so unbelievably fast.

We are launching a new buyer points system called “Breaker Points” Everything you buy gives you some points to free stuff!  Learn more here.

The ease we can add products, and manage the backend is huge.

Free shipping on all US orders over $99

If you are a returning customer, you will need to do a one time password reset here.

All in all, we are very stoked on this new platform.  We are obviously going to have some hiccups in the transition, but it so very worth it.  If you spot anything, please let us know.

In the mean time, please go check it out. Thanks!
