In the post-Soviet space, the Karpaty moped is one of the most popular small vehicles on two wheels. Against the background of similar units, the device in question differed good quality, practicality and original design. Among the features, it is necessary to note a three-shoe type clutch. The gearbox is two-speed, it provided a smooth start and a set of maximum speed (45-50 km / h) quite well.
Features of the
Despite the fact that it was almost impossible to tune the unit somehow, its ease of maintenance and the ability self repair absolutely all units have certainly played a key role in its popularity. Original spare parts on the "Karpaty" moped were made of high-quality metal, although the equipment of that time often broke down due to design and technical flaws.
The trunk of the considered vehicle could withstand more than one centner of the load. The tires had high tread, which made it possible to operate the equipment in winter period... Drum-type brakes were enough for mass and dynamics small motorcycle... The device itself power unit is an ordinary two-stroke motor... Almost every owner of this motorcycle representative will be able to replace the rings or piston.
Competitors
The closest competitor in terms of characteristics received the unit in the "person" of the vehicle "Verkhovina" The ignition of the "Karpaty" moped, the clutch assembly, design and some other indicators significantly exceeded the rival. In addition, the "Delta", "Verkhovyna-7" competed with the vehicle in question. Although all the units of these variations were modernized, preference was given to the "Carpathians".
There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the price of "Delta" was higher, and it was produced in Riga. Secondly, the improved "Verkhovyna" had a guaranteed mileage of 6,000 kilometers, a resource up to overhaul- 15 thousand. The "Karpaty" moped at the same time possessed eight and eighteen thousand, respectively.
More than one generation, especially in rural areas, has studied every cog in this unit. A brief idea of the location of the main elements:
- The air filter is located directly behind the carburetor.
- The gearshift control lever is on the left, the brakes are on the right.
- Also on the steering wheel there is a clutch handle, gas, front brake.
It is worth noting that there is no electric starter, so a rather popular way to start the engine was to activate it with a "push" or "foot".
The nuances of repair work
Almost every owner could repair the Karpaty moped on his own. Quite often it was necessary to sort out the engine. No matter how difficult this work may seem, thanks to simple device motor of the unit in question, everything was available to do quickly and efficiently.
If the cause of the breakdown is the failure of bearings, crankshaft, rings, you will need to split the engine. It is relative simple procedure, it is much more difficult to put everything back correctly. Although, if you carefully consider the process and recommendations in the instructions, everything is very real.
Muffler gaskets can be cut out of thick cardboard and greased with grease. Important: when tightening the nuts, you must observe the optimal torque, avoiding insufficient fastening or thread stripping. The "Karpaty" moped runs on a mixture of gasoline and oil, there is no special oil receiver. The optimal fuel is AI-80.

The clutch of the "Karpaty" moped was an innovative solution at that time. This is a three-pad or multi-disc assembly. For low-powered two-wheeled vehicles, this design was a novelty.
Modifications and years of release
The "Karpaty" moped first appeared in 1981 at the Lviv Motorcycle Plant. Five years later, a model called "Karpaty-2" was released. The second version of the moped was 0.2 liters. from. weaker and one and a half kilograms lighter than its predecessor. Otherwise, both modifications were identical. The closest similar moped in terms of characteristics was the Riga Delta.
In the period from 1988 to 1989, more than 260 thousand Karpaty mopeds were produced. In the latest versions, the developers have determined the mileage before the warranty repair is 18 thousand kilometers. There were several more modifications, namely:
- "Karpaty-Sport" (a front wheel with a larger diameter, foot gear shifting, a muffler brought up to the top).
- "Karpaty-Tourist" with a windshield.
- "Karpaty-Lux" with direction indicators.
For the last few years, the units under consideration have not been produced. There are several similar variations of Chinese production.
In April, the Lviv Motorcycle Plant launched the production of a new car - a mokik Karpaty (recall that this is a moped without pedals with a kick-starter), produced in parallel with Verkhovina-7 (Za Rulem, 1981, No. 9).
"Karpaty" is already the sixteenth model, mastered by the plant. It is equipped with either the Sh-58 engine or the modernized Sh-62 engine of the Siauliai bicycle-motor plant "Vairas". From "Verkhovyna-7" new car differs in the design and shape of the frame, gas tank, muffler, side shrouds (the artistic design project of the mokik was developed by the Leningrad branch of VNIITE). "Carpathians" are painted in bright colors - red, orange, yellow, etc.
The machine with the Sh-62 engine (pictured) is equipped with a contactless electronic system ignition, making it more stable in operation and does not need to adjust the clearances. Increased generator power (45 instead of 18 W) allows the driver to use the headlight high beam with a control lamp, a rear light with a side light, a brake light from the rear brake.
Karpaty has higher reliability and durability indicators than Verkhovyna-7: the guaranteed mileage has been increased from 6000 to 8000 kilometers, and the warranty period has been increased from 15 to 20 months; the resource before the first overhaul increased from 15,000 to 18,000 kilometers. This was made possible by improving the quality of the engines. The price of a mokik is 250-260 rubles, depending on the version.

Adjustment of the gearshift mechanism and mokika with the B50 engine.
If the gear shifting mechanism malfunctions, adjust by increasing or decreasing the free end of the gear shift control cable in the same way as adjusting the free play of the clutch release lever with the same tool (Fig. 7). For this:
- release the lock nut and put the gear shift handle in the position corresponding to the engagement of the 2nd gear. If II gear does not engage, then the free end of the cable is small. The stop must be screwed into the adjusting nut;
- put the handle in the position corresponding to the inclusion of the 1st gear. If the 1st gear does not engage, then the free end of the cable is large and the stop should be unscrewed. If you cannot adjust the gearshift mechanism, shorten the cable in the same way as when adjusting the clutch. Access to the gear lever is opened by removing the right crankcase cover.
If the gearshift mechanism is adjusted correctly, there should be no clutch rubbing sound when the gearshift clutch is in neutral while the engine is running.

Kickstarter(trigger).
When starting the engine, the gearshift clutch must be in neutral. When the foot is pressed on the kickstarter lever pedal, the rotation is transferred to the shaft 15 (Fig. 5), and the ratchet clutch 12 moves to the left, and its end teeth engage with the end teeth of the kickstarter gear 13. The starting gear drives through the gearbox and clutch. crank mechanism. When the engine starts running, the ratchet clutch disengages from the starting gear.
Attention! When starting the B501 engine, the gear lever must be in neutral.
Removal and installation of the kickstarter connecting rod.
Tool: combination wrench, hammer and stop.
To remove the kickstarter connecting rod 16 (Fig. 5), unscrew and pull out the coupling screw.
With light blows, remove the connecting rod from the spline end of the kickstarter shaft.
Installing the kickstarter connecting rod:
- remove the rubber plug from the crankcase on the right side of the kickstarter shaft;
- put a stop instead of it to prevent axial movement of the kickstarter shaft at the moment of putting the connecting rod onto the shaft;
- With light hammer blows (wooden or with an aluminum mandrel) on the end of the connecting rod, install the kickstarter connecting rod vertically on the shaft splines. When hitting the connecting rod, the kickstarter shaft must not move in order to avoid deformation and breakage of the kickstarter shaft retaining rings;
- tighten the tie bolt, put the rubber plug on the opposite side of the kickstarter shaft.
Mochica electrical equipment consists of sources and consumers electrical energy(fig. 8).
Fig. eight. Schematic diagram electrical equipment:
1 - generator; 2 - switch-stabilizer unit; 3 - rear lamp; 4 - brake light switch; 5 - high voltage transformer; 6 - candle; 7 - noise suppression tip; 8 - light switch; 9 - sound signal; 10 - headlight; 11 - engine switch.
Power source - alternator rated voltage 6 V and 45 W.
Electricity consumers: ignition devices, rear light, headlight, sound signal.
The generator is used to power all power consumers on the mokika. The main parts of the generator are the stator and the rotor.
The rotor is mounted on the tapered end of the right-hand crankshaft journal. Fixed with a key and secured with a bolt. The stator is mounted on the engine crankcase.
The generator works in conjunction with a switch-stabilizer unit and a high-voltage transformer mounted on a frame.
An electrical impulse comes from the additional winding of the generator to the input of the switch-stabilizer unit, and from the output of the unit to the high-voltage transformer.
Attention!
To avoid failure of the switch-stabilizer unit, it is forbidden to disconnect the pads and check the electrical circuits by shorting to ground (check for a spark) both on a running and non-running engine.
The switch-stabilizer unit and the high-voltage transformer do not require maintenance during operation and cannot be repaired.
The spark plug А17В is designed to ignite the working mixture in the engine cylinder. The mixture is ignited from an electric discharge that occurs on the electrodes of the candle at the time of the formation of an EMF pulse in the generator sensor.
The gap between the electrodes should be 0.5-0.6 mm.
If necessary, it can be adjusted by bending the side electrode to the center one. The plug is screwed into the cylinder head.
Fig. 9. The procedure for installing the ignition:
1 - stator fastening screw; 2 - stator; 3 - risk on the crankcase; 4 - rotor mounting bolt; 5 - rotor; 6 - right crankcase cover.
Installation and adjustment of ignition.
Tool: screwdriver, combination wrench
To obtain the greatest power and economy of the engine, it is necessary to ignite the working mixture a little before the piston approaches top dead center (TDC): a spark discharge on the spark plug electrodes should occur with a certain advance.
The optimal ignition timing is 1.2-1.4 mm before TDC,
Early or late ignition leads to loss of power and economy, engine overheating.
Installation of ignition on the engine is reduced to the installation of stator 2 (Fig. 9) relative to rotor 5.
Remove the right cover, crankcase and check the alignment of marks 3 on the crankcase with the lower edge of the recess on the stator.
If the risk does not coincide with the edge of the groove, install the ignition: loosen the screws securing the generator stator: install the lower edge of the groove on the stator against the notch 3 on the crankcase, then tighten the screws.
During operation of the mock, adjustment of the ignition timing is not required, periodically check only the tightness of the generator stator screws.
Fig. 10. Headlight adjustment.
Tool: special wrench.
The headlamp is installed between the brackets 13 (Fig. 15) of the front fork and fixed with bolts.
For correct illumination of the road, the headlight of the mocica should be adjusted so that the axis of the driving beam is tilted downward from the horizontal by 150 mm at a distance of 8 m (Fig. 10).
Engine power system: fuel tank, receiver, air cleaner and carburetor K60V:
Carburetor K60V(Fig. 11) consists of a body 1, a throttle 6, a carburetor cover 2, a float 14 and a float chamber 12.
The design of the carburetor provides for the adjustment of idle speed and mixture quality (operating fuel consumption).
Before starting the engine by turning screw 7 (Fig. 11), set the throttle so that there is a small gap (2-2.5 mm) between its base and the lower generatrix of the mixing chamber. Screw in the adjusting screw 18 completely, and then unscrew it 0.5-1 turn. Start the engine and warm it up. After warming up the engine, slowly unscrew screw 18. The engine speed will initially increase and then decrease. The start of the RPM deceleration indicates the optimum screw position for a given throttle position. By unscrewing the screw 7, again reduce the engine speed and screwing in the screw 18 again find its optimal position. Perform the specified operations until the minimum, but quite stable engine speed is obtained. Check the stability of idle speed by sharply opening and closing the throttle. If the engine runs stably at low speeds, but stops at the moment of a sharp opening of the throttle, the mixture is slightly enriched by screwing in screw 18. If the engine stops at the moment of a sharp opening of the throttle, the mixture is leaner
In a new engine, friction losses are higher than in a running-in one, and at low speeds it can work unstable. If necessary, increase the idle speed of the new engine.

5.7. Tires.
Mock tires consist of a tire, a tube and a rim tape. If the Tube is punctured, dismantle the tire and take out the tube. Step on the tire and press the bead into the groove in the rim. Insert tire paddles on both sides of the valve at a distance of about 10 cm from each other and pull the tire bead over the rim bead (fig. 19). In the future, use one scapula. Then remove the tube from the tire. After pumping the chamber, determine the puncture site by the noise of the outgoing air. If this fails, submerge the camera in water. Air bubbles will indicate damage. Sand the damaged area and the rubber patch with sandpaper and rinse with clean gasoline. When the gasoline has evaporated, glue the patch with rubber glue according to the instructions in the first aid kit.
Remember that this repair is temporary. For a reliable repair, the damaged area must be vulcanized.
Mounting tires:
- check if the object that damaged the camera has been removed from the tire;
- if the rim tape has been removed, put it on the rim, aligning the hole in it with the hole on the rim (the rim tape must completely cover all the nipple heads);
- with the tire completely removed, place a part of the bead into the rim groove, slide the entire bead onto the rim with the help of tire paddles and slide the bead of the tire towards the rim bead;
- sprinkle talcum powder on the inner surface of the tire, insert the valve into the hole of the rim and put the slightly pumped-up tube into the tire so that there are no folds;
- put on the second bead of the tire on the side opposite to the valve, I will hold the tire;
- tuck the bead of the tire onto the rim, gradually intercepting it further and further along the circumference;
- having tucked in about two-thirds of the bead length, step on the tire so that the tucked-in part of the bead goes into the recess of the rim, and use the tire paddles to fill the bead to the end;
- after mounting the tire on the rim, inflate the tube and, tapping around the entire perimeter, check that the tire sits evenly around the entire circumference of the rim; then, to prevent wrinkling in the chamber, completely release the air from it and re-inflate.
Inspect the tires periodically and remove any foreign objects stuck in the tread or sidewall of the tire.
Avoid prolonged (more than 30 days) parking on low-pressure tires.
Avoid hard braking.
The rims of the 40ЕХ406 wheels are fitted with 2.50 / 85-16 "or 2.75-16" tires. The tires are operated with a load of up to 100 kg.
The guaranteed mileage of tires, subject to the operating rules, is 16,000 km, and with the state Quality Mark - 20,000 km.

Riga 24 Delta
Riga 24- She "Delta" very common almost as well as mokik "Carpathians" but now it’s not about them, now we’ll talk about "Delta", mokik, serially produced by the Sarkana Zvaigzne plant. 
The last Deltas were produced in St. Petersburg and the D-16 engines were installed on them.
The Riga Deltas (early and late) have few differences: the engine is B50 or B501, the headlight is round or rectangular, front fender- as in Riga-22, or your own, Delta; trunk - painted or chrome.

Riga-26 mini
Riga 26 Mini
In 1982, a mini-mokik "Riga-26" (aka "Mini" RMZ-2.126) was developed. This model combined the advantages of a moped and a scooter, was simple and easy to store and, moreover, did not lose the similarities with a traditional motorcycle. "Riga-26" took up little space: it could easily fit on the roof or in the trunk passenger car, in an elevator, on a balcony or in a utility room of a residential building. However, with a weight of 50 kg, it was very problematic to drag such a mini-mok up the stairs to the balcony or loggia. The wheels of this model were small in diameter (like a motor scooter) and often deformed when hitting holes in the asphalt. The handlebars can be pivoted downward when the clamping collets are released, almost halving the height of the machine. For the same purpose, a device for lowering the saddle was provided.
However, certain claims were made to the controllability and maneuverability of the Riga-26 mini-mock. For example, the tires were so stiff that an accidental puncture was simply invisible, and the owner noticed damage only when the tires were inflated, and the V-50 engine with an electronic ignition system did not lend itself much to adjusting the ignition system. A little later, Czechoslovak-made engines with a horizontal cylinder position began to be installed on the modification of this mokik, much more reliable and working almost silently, and also having a foot switch.

Riga-22
Mokik "Riga-22" mokik meets even less often than Riga -16 also these mokiki are unusually similar
It looks like "Riga-22"
It looks like "Riga-16"
But we have already talked about "Riga-16" and as you guessed now, it will be about "Riga-22" and so Riga 22 is a mokik, serially produced by the Sarkana Zvaigzne plant from 1982 to 1986.
In 1981, the Riga-22 mokik rolled off the assembly line, which became an improved version of the Riga-16 mokik. This model, which accelerated to 50 km / h, was equipped with the Sh-62 engine. This engine was fundamentally different from previous models, first of all, by its powerful electronic ignition and gearbox, which made it necessary to change the direction of rotation of the crankshaft. The use of electronic contactless ignition increased the reliability of engine start-up and the reliability of the ignition system as a whole. However, the first models were notable for the unreliability of the switches and the gear assembly. Therefore, after a while, the engine and commutator were modernized, and since 1984 they began to produce mokiki with engines "Sh-62M" with a capacity of 1.8 liters. from. In addition, the design of the muffler has changed. Despite the upgrades, the gearbox was still a hassle for buyers. Later on these mokiki began to put engines "V-50". The Riga-20Yu moped, which was equipped with a sportier frame, a larger front wheel and a foot-operated gearshift, became a motocross model, unified with the mokik "Riga-22". It was a small-scale moped intended for training and competition of young athletes.
== Differences from earlier models ==
In connection with the restyling, a number of structural differences from Riga 16 were introduced. The Sh-58 engine, 2.2 hp. (1.6 kW), was replaced by engines Sh-62, 2.2 hp (1.6 kW), and V-50 1.8 hp. (1.3 kW). Also, Riga 22 early issues (1982-1983) differed from Riga 16 in the location and shape of the gas tank, the presence of a brake light, and the shape of the trunk. From 1984 to 1986, the type of muffler and rear shock absorbers changed.

Riga 16- Excellent mokik for roads different types Riga 16 is a rather rare mokik relative to others I told you about this mokik in the article "Riga-16"
Riga 16 is a mokik serially produced by the Sarkana Zvaigzne plant from 1979 to 1982.
In 1979 the two-speed model "Riga-16" was put into production. It was already a mokik with a kickstarter, a motorcycle-type muffler, a new steering wheel and a taillight. The first models of "Riga-16" still had the "Sh-57" engine, but later one of the most successful engines of the Siauliai plant - "Sh-58" was installed on the mokik. Another important indicator: with a weight of 70 kg, the mokik could carry up to 115 kg of cargo.

The Karpaty moped appeared in the USSR in the spring of 1981. And almost immediately became one of the most popularVehiclethat time. During his life, he managed to undergo several upgrades, which corrected the shortcomings of the first model and improved it as a mobile vehicle.
History of creation moped
The manufacturer of this small vehicle was the Ukrainian motorcycle plant in Lviv.. The moped was the prototype of the series mokikov "Verkhovyna". In 1981 the plant makes the first modification of this vehicleunder the name "Carpathians 1".Three years later in the next series and mokiks of this brand are launched - "Karpaty 2". This series has already been modified and improved from the first release.
An analogue of this moped is "Delta", which was produced at the Riga the motorcycle factory. In 1988, the Lviv plant produced about 120 thousand copies, and already next year this number exceeded 140 thousand. Such a large number of Soviet-made "Karpaty" mopeds were made because they sold well. It was worth such a mokik at that time abouttwo hundred and fifty rubles. The cost depended on the modification of the vehicle.
Often it was brought into the apartment like a bicycle for storage. Since it was expensive to buy a garage for the sake of one small moped.
The history of the Karpaty moped has 4 types of modernization, through which it went. Each model was refined and represented an improved version of the previous one.
- Carpathians 1. The first model mokica. You n accelerated from 1981 to 1986.
- Carpathians 2. The modification that replaced the first mochica was an improved model equipped with a taillight. If Sh-58 engines were installed on the first model, S - 62, then this one - V 50. They had a manual gear selector. And the engines V - 501 , which began to be installed later, had a foot-like gear change.This model is designed for walking trips, transportation of goods weighing 15 kilograms.
- Carpathians 2 Lux. The modification was equipped with a reinforced trunk. Equipped with direction indicators.
- Carpathians 2 Sports. This mod spruce mochica looked athletic... The exhaust pipe is equipped with a protective cover. The steering wheel had an additional jumper, as on all sports mopeds. Trvehicles factory manufacturer paintedin green, orange, cherry colors.
On the second model of the Carpathians, produced from 1986 to 1997, one large and one small headlight was installed. And the wings were painted in the same color as the frame.
Vehicle features
This vehicle acquired about great popularity among the people due to its exceptional characteristics.It was a lightweight and comfortable moped, easily repaired on the road without any devices for this.To ride it, the owner didn't need to receive driver's license. For the last feature, he was very fond of young people under eighteen years .
In addition, Karpaty had a pleasant exterior design. Distinguished reliability Yu ... It was possible to overcome a large number of kilometers on it.With only two gears on the box, the moped could provide the owner with a decent movement in those days. The low cost allowed almost everyone in the country to buy it.Despite its small size, low power at 2 horse power, many say that he allowed a couple of people to be carried on him completely without stress.
Another feature was the open motor, which provided access to all details. Without the use of special equipment, the engine could be disassembled, repaired and reassembled. Two-stroke engine had one cylinder. The maximum speed that he could develop was 50 km / h. The capacity of the gas tank is 7 liters.Drum brakes when installedwinter tires with good treads made it possible to confidently stay on the road in slush, rain and ice.
The main elements were arranged as follows:
- on the right - brakes;
- on the left - the gearbox control lever;
- there was a clutch, gas and front brake knob on the steering wheel;
- the air filter was located behind the carburetor.
It is necessary to fill in the gas tank with oil and gasoline already mixed in a separate container. The engine will not start without oil or will be damaged after the first overheating. AI - 80 was used for fuel.
Disadvantages also occurred invehicle of the Lviv plant. Frequent breakdowns required constant renovation. And everything could break down on it, from the ignition system to the engine itself. And also any replacement of parts did not give an increase in power. mokiku.
Another drawback was the cooling system. Due to its proximity to the carburetor, it was constantly clogged.The frame at the front of the vehicle had meone hundred often break. Therefore, her nhad to be brewed.
Of positive sides it should be noted that there is no electric starter. He started up with a push or a foot. For many in modern times, this feature will be more likely a disadvantage, but at that time, the absence of an electric starter made the moped efficient in the cold season and allowed to save battery power.
Competitors were such Riga-made mopeds as the Delta, but the main preference was still given to the "Karpaty". Due to its low cost and high mileage warranty. The latter for this vehicle corresponded to 18,000 km. While the Delta's guaranteed mileage was only 6000 km.At that time, the "Karpaty" moped was the best option for economical travel.
Specifications
