It says Valmo 1960s, Looks like Fuji Go-Devil?

[Antigen]

I found this scooter / minibike for sale. It's described as a Valmo 1960s scooter with title. I can't turn up any information on it. Tried google and searching this forum. The closest thing I can find is Fuji Go-Devil that folds up. This one is all enclosed though, and I can't tell if it folds.

This thing is either well restored or is something newer trying to look old. Anybody have any information?

There use to be a family that brought those to the Windber show every year. They are cool.

The auction gave me contact info for the previous owner. He says he used 35:1. I was able to dig up some old literature on it and the manufacturer suggested 20:1. THICC...

It has good compression and idled for a few minutes before I jumped on it and snapped the dry rotted suspension. The rear end hangs on a thick rubber band which turns out to be muffler hanger. I replaced that and the grip throttle / cable. Had to dremel the inner circumference of the throttle mount to fit.

Now I'm not able to get it to idle, and I'm not very carburetor inclined so I dropped it off with a local mechanic that works on pressure washers in Florida.

It's missing the key/barrel but it looks like the wires are there. I just need the wiring diagram and a battery. There is a scanned copy of the manual + wiring diagram on eBay available for $20 but if anyone has access please post!
