There is a group of guys from Colorado who are trail 90 geeks, don’t know if their group has a name. They all run the little square led lights on the sides of their forks. They occasionally load the 90s into a container and ship it to whatever country they want to explore next.
That sounds awesome! Thanks for watching!
Same motor as the ATC 90’s and 110’s of the late 70’ and 80’s. The handle bar feature is for stacking them on a front or back rack of a motor home.
Just because it has a “snorkel” for air intake to the air box and filter doesn’t mean the bike can be run through a body of water up to the seat. There is a crankcase vent path that exits from the left stator cover just a bit back from the shifter shaft. There is also a small passage to atmosphere behind the points cover. So any water level higher than the bottom of the cylinder or higher than the stator cover will find it’s way into the engine!
The plug will short too but it’s fun to dream. Thanks for watching!
Nice bike, I have a 68 that requires re commissioning, look forward to riding it. Interesting set up for your lights.
Thanks! I’ve since removed the 12v adapter and lights (they always killed the battery which killed ignition). I got the Pardue led for the OEM globe which has been awesome.
Love these little trail bikes. Mine is the original with the auto clutch and extra links to switch from street to trail sprockets. The later ones like your has the lever to switch
So yours is a CT200 with the trailing link front end? Such awesome machines!!
Yep, someday get a 64 C200 hopefully
I was reading up on the history of these bikes today. The first 1964 CT200 was with the adjustable handle bars. Earlier models had the metal framing like the front forks. The bars look so much better. Like I said before though I want the street version 1964 C200 too.
Very cool motorcycle. It's in great shape. Watched your first start video. Curious what all you did to clean it up before the first start in 17 years. I'm looking at buying a 81 CT110 that hasn't been started in the same amount of time.
You probably figured it out by now but it's really all about the carb. If the air filter is not dust, just clean up the carb really perfectly. Let it idle up fast and adjust the air screw until you get max idle rpm. Then turn the idle speed down until it's calm. If you lack spark or fuel there are lots of resources for the ignition and fuel system.
I would like to see more videos with Puch mopeds
So would I
Wow my 1978 transmission is 4 up.
In 1974 they had to change to new US rules which included a standard shift pattern, kill switch, and turn signals among other things. Thanks for watching!
What was your source for the tires? Were they listed as CT90 or did you purchase based on tire size?
About the only good choice is the Shinko 241 "Golden Boy". RevZilla and others have them. 2.75 x 17 will fit. 3" will not. Happy shopping!
looks cool, you ever going to ride it?
It’s a fair question. I put 1100 miles on it before my UA-cam channel started. Lots of adventures. Then I restored it to museum quality and I’m not sure what to do.
I would like the source on your lights and 6/12v transformer. Please.
6v to 12v transformer I found on Amazon
What battery are you using?
Battery is in here. www.dratvinc.com/category/ct90-electrical?page=2
Pemby where did you get that cool light kit conversion? I've got a 69 ct90 and an 81 ct110. They are both 6v. I think this would be a great addition to the bikes.

@@ReMotorcycle that's a great idea, I'd like to do the same. I could then use a 12v trickle charger. 👍👍
