Once your brew is done your going to have some great tea cheers mate cool video wish we hate more maxis in the states they are getting harder and harder to come by and when people do want to sell them they wanted classic used car prices not moped prices
The Puch E50 transmission is supposed to use Type F transmission fluid, which is red. That isn't red. I would never turn the engine over by hand the first time without removing the spark plug, exhaust, and carburetor, and spraying a lot of lubricating oil through the spark plug hole, exhaust and intake ports. Turning it over dry will seriously damage the rings and cylinder. That looks like a new engine drive chain. It's better to just replace the points and condenser, and put points cam lube on the points cam. Don't strip the threads in the flywheel. It's VERY easy to do. The tool, even a good one, just barely screws into the flywheel. I have a VeloSolex 3800. I would use sandpaper and clean those magnets really good. For decades I have used business cards to set the points gap on cars, motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds. They seem to be the perfect thickness. Try PB Blaster or Kroil instead of WD-40.
Are the condensors on all mopeds installed like that? Pressed in? Is it a good idea to install them outside instead of in the plate and out on the frame of the moped?
no on many they are fixed with a small screw... I would not install them outside, but I know that its often adviced on mobylettes... i think because of heat?
Where did you buy the puller? Im getting an old maxi in a couple of weeks and was planning to buy a puller from an danish Company with Hansen as its last name. Hilsen Tom fra Norge
@@SeasideGarage The one on the Indian moped i have i think it just broke because when i go to start it and crank on the pedals it sometimes slips and i have to try a couple of times until it grabs i am hating having to open up the case without having the special tools other problem is that they don't make parts for this moped anymore. So i might sell it as is i will have to think about it. The only reason i bought it it's because of the Indian motorcycle history.
@@SeasideGarage Yes it could be. It does have one but you have to remove the side cover. I have read that you have to dissasemble the engine to get at the clutch. I am doing the research right now to see how much the parts cost. Maybe that is the reason they were never popular like the puch.
This looks like a danish moped, with the severe neutering measures, i can practically se the gap between the cylinder head and the cylinder. In the rest f the world this motor was allowed to breathe, as i teenager i spend countless hours grinding away at the ridiculous rim off compression reducing mothering rim of appr. 1 cm. The piston that was actually made for this bike was practically UN-obtainable at the time. the one theses bikes had where neutered beyond belief.
We keep our fingers crossed it’ll start in the next video - a good project you have there with simple mechanics for us amateurs to follow👍
Tomorrow I hope! :D

They are extremly expensive here now though.... +2000 dollars is normal... its insane....
Thanks!
I hope you do more Puch mopeds in future! 🤘 I ride a 1978 JCP "Swinger 2" (E50 Kromag Puch X frame bike)
I would really like to! Puchs are very expensive in my country tho... :) They are nice little mopeds!
@@SeasideGarage I'm a big Puch fan! 🙂

Thanks for your informative comment. :)
The oil used is special puch maxi transmission oil... Its actually the name of the oil... :)

@@SeasideGarage Ah i see. And yes that is what i have read that people recommen intalling the outside of the plate due to the heat.
Thank you
@@SeasideGarage So you don't think it makes a difference about the intallation of the condenser to prevent damage to the condenser?
@@SDsailor7 No i dont think so.. 🙂

Hello Tom!
My puller was from mr.Hansen... it wasent worth much.... Id buy it from somewhere else... :)
Thanks, i Will go for one a bit more expensive then😉
That's good you have a spark , now to un-seize the carb and it's happy days.
Yes... the carb is very stuck tho... to stuck I think.. another one will most likely be the cure..
@@SeasideGarage Very good idea to use that bag to soak the carburator!
Cheers
Svinghjulsaftrækkeren - er den fra MopedSpeed?
Uh.. det husker jeg ikke... men det tror jeg.
Hi do you still have the puch? Just curious 🙂👍
No its sold to a young man as his first moped! :D
I did not know that the puch had a transmission.
Very simple and effective one!
