    My Other Channel Mowers and Stuff - / @menditman2014
    Please Subscribe to my channel - I have lots of machines which means going forward I will never be short of content, lots of my videos are small engine related but I do have bigger vehicles to which I also like to work on and improve.
    JUST TO NAME SOME-
    2x Land Rover Defenders, Subaru Impreza WRX Turbo Wagon, VW T4 Transporter, Ford Transit Campervan.
    5x Puch Maxi Mopeds, a Lambretta Scooter, a Yamaha MX100 motorcycle.
    Also lots and lots of garden power equipment. All this will give me years and years of content, so with all that it makes my channel well worth Subscribing to 😀
    A bit about me I grew up around engine’s as my dad was always a car mechanic and that’s how I learnt about them and liked working on engine’s. As the years have gone on my passion for working on engines has grown even more, unfortunately for me my dad slowed down working on cars when I was around 20 in the 90s, So the career I always thought I would have didn’t materialise and I become a gardener, but what do gardeners use? Power tools so that’s when I learnt all about power tools small engine, 80% of my work tools Mowers, Strimmers, Hedge Trimmers, Blowers were bought secondhand and most of them broken and I fixed them up. Most have been high end tools, Honda, Stihl, Kubota, Kawasaki, Husqvarna etc etc the list goes on I’ve worked on loads and usually managed to fix tools that were destined for the scrap heap. I have learnt so much and I pass a massive amount of that on in my videos, so watching my video could save you a small fortune in repair bills, so another great reason to subscribe to my channel.
    Going forward I have plans to faze out my day job and work with the engine stuff much, much more that’s my dream, I also like restoring machines as well. So I’m always adding more and more tools to help me along the way. So the more support I have on TH-cam means that my dream may come sooner than I think it will 🤞 I’ll do my bit with the video if you can do your bit to help it could be a great journey forward, thank you for watching my channel I massively appreciate it 🙂👍

      Hi Bill when it comes to 2 wheel vehicles I’m not into the big fast ones, I like the small engine ones. There is actually quite a lot that can be done to this little 50cc engines, tuned up some people achieve over 50mph and that’s definitely fast enough on one of these 😂 thanks for watching 🙂👍

    Hi Gary yes it does sound good, I may put a new clutch in it and clean it up but that probably will be about it with the engine. I think sometimes I’m a bit to hasty ripping them down when they don’t really need to be, as you know it’s takes a lot of time and money. I’d like this one done fairly quick with minimal expense . Thanks for watching 🙂👍

    Sounds solid plenty of compression . Good luck with the gas tank that evapo-rust stuff works pretty good !

      Hi for its age it sounds good, I’ve done tanks on these before and used acid which did work well, I still have that but I’ll decide when I have the frame stripped. I’ve never tried evapo rust but I have heard a lot of people rate it. Thanks for watching 🙂👍

    I noticed that most of the nuts, bolts, and screws are buggered up. Always use the proper size wrench or screwdriver. I would never use an impact driver on a carburetor. The metal is just too soft. I always grind off stuff like that with a dremel before putting things back together, or replace the fastener if it's too bad. I've had a LOT of trouble with the float bowl gasket/O rings leaking on those Bing carbs. The new ones don't seem to fit properly. When the engine is running, it splashes fuel around in the float bowl, and it drips down from around the gasket. Type F transmission fluid is recommended for Puch engines. There should be an O ring inside the part of the carb that slides over the manifold. Without it there will be a vacuum leak.
    I wouldn't sit on it with it on the centerstand. The stand was designed to support the moped, not a person. Sitting on it with it on the stand can bend the stand, and even crack the engine cases. Remember on this type of moped, the fuel tank is also the frame. If it is badly rusted, it can make the frame structurally unsafe. I found pinhole leaks in one tank after cleaning the rust out of it. They can be sealed, but I decided to scrap the frame. I weigh 240, and the frame could literally break in half while riding.

      Hi I can’t remember the 70s as I was to young but growing up in the 80s was great, I don’t like it how things are now things seemed much simpler back then. But unfortunately we can’t go back, but i have tried to surround myself with nostalgia items like this moped it keeps me in the past abit. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
