1979 Puch Magnum Project Part 14 - Timing & Test Ride
Вставка

- Checking the ignition timing (with Harbor Freight #3343) to make sure it wasn't way off - With the Stator in the middle of its adjustment the timing starts off around 14 degree's and with a little bit of throttle advances to 18 degree's. I dont know enough to change from that right now so I'm going to leave it alone as thats between the Kit value and stock value from the PDF I downloaded.
Piston Stop -

Starting fluid to check for leaks then a short clip of one of the break in rides. Re-checked head bolt torque and then a normal ride to check the jetting. Cylinder and Head temperatures were lower than I expected - Air temp. was about 50 degree's. Jetting will need adjusting, once I get that figured out I will post numbers.
I'm 240lbs (as you can probably tell in the later parts of the video), bike has 16x40 gearing - max speed was 45mph, with a 30mph average over the 25 minute ride Stock 2 shoe clutch, I have blue springs and an MLM brace I will install - wanted to try stock first. No porting, rpm should be just over 8500rpm based on the Puch E50 RPM and speed chart

Timing Strip and wheel is downloadable from the Moped Army (In the video I click on the Points, even though I'm using CDI - thats just where the pdf is located) -

Nice work mate!
That is why we all wanted a Puch when we were kid's.
That is a nice example.
Nothing better than old school.
Looked like a nice smooth ride, for the most part. Beautiful scenery for a drive. I just got a 77 Puch Maxi, but it needs a little work before I can ride it. But I am excited.
Superb moped and what a scenery throughout! Puch looks very good. The speed is amazing!
My first moto-bike :-D Thank You!
nice video's man, really nice serie, loved it.
The neighborhood must love you.
Awesome! Your riding route is beautiful also. I came across an x10 someone gave me and has been kept in a garage for +10 years. The tires are cracked and dry rotted, but other than than she is in mint condition.
You can not put a price on how valuable these videos by are....thank you!!!!
If you guide how to set and tell step by step then this video is helpful for others.
Nice sound😍😍😍
i had this ped when i was 16. i got it with 30miles on the odo in 1997. the sounds bring me back!
I hope you didn't believe those miles. :)
Joe Schmoe still had the little whiskers on the tires she was pretty! Def gotta find me a Ltd soon
THX for the ride!
nice video, nice motorbike. recently acquired a magnum 2 speed (they call it a monza here, but it is a magnum). hope mine runs like this one day.
Nice little bike!! :) your a perfectionist ..
That is one sexy carburetor you got there ;)
Beautyfull moto! I have Watch # 9 to14 and it is very Professional job and filming ! Congrat, very nice project !
Very nice bike, hope you make more videos
Of those pedal style Mopeds. Luv those pedal bikes .keep up the great work ☆☆☆☆☆
Nice Job and nice Video !!!
Nice Job and nice Videos
Nice to see they even drive the Puch in the states... Here in Europe they are really easy to get for low prices...
nice little bike ! 70km/h
like man
Oleeee nice video
very nice. though it does sound like a dying calf in the lower rpm range
Nice Setup =) But You should think about a better Clutch
I've made Bad experiences *g*
great informative video....but you should not have waved to the neighbor....you broke the non communication aspect of the format...:)
Very very nice Videos👌,i like it absolutely!! Do you know Simson?
Many greetings from Germany👍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What kind of carb and what size? What pipe? Just curious love your build
i live in mass too
Can I do the timing with a piston stop or is your method necessary?
do you have to ride in the gutter?
Loved the video but would be great if you explained what youre doing and why? I appreciate not everyone likes to talk on vlogs but it'd be really interesting to the ignorant. thanks anyway really interesting.
Because the timing got off. He probably rebuilt the engine
I thought mopeds were crap, buts that's actually quite good, if a bit noisy....
7:20 I must say, that engine is idling very smoothly.
Eihän noilla 50cc paljon kummiskaa liikuta :D Itellä tällä hetkellä kasautumassa tuollaanen 75cc metrakit tigeri ;)
here they just changed it so you can ride a 100cc when 15
Wow, very beautiful moped. Were did you learn you skills as a mechanic? Father, uncle, school perhaps?
Small amount from school and previous jobs, but the majority from the internet.
At higher rpm these engines will go way faster with that setup. My Puch MAxi with a fast Arrow 70cc Cylinder did 60Mph+ at 15k - 16k RPM. Ofocource you do need to replace bearings (and maybe cylinder and piston) every 6 to 10 months, but the sound and the agressiveness of that engine is just awesome!. Still have my puch (sinds '88, it was build in '84). Need to work on it someday again. Awesome vid, awesome sound. gave me childhood memories! :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey Man, I also live in MA and I was wondering what jet you are running in your mikuni? I am having some trouble with my kitted tomos a3, at high rpms it is sputtering. I know its the tuning but I am not sure if it is too rich or too lean. I have a 175 in there right now. Any ideas?
What town are you in? I'm still figuring out the jetting on this... thought I could just copy jetting from similar setups on the 1977 garage and get close but I have other issues that I need to address which is making it run lean.
I'm in southborough how about you? And oh alright. The jetting is kindve a pain in the ass so I was just going to bring it to lucky 2 strokes and have them tune it for me so I dont have to keep messing with it
kyle washburn I Live on Cape Cod, have you looked on the Garage? Here's an A3 and a VM20 - garage.1977mopeds.com/build/652
Oh cool. And no I've never hear of the garage, but that's a really nice looking ped. He has a 12.5 idle jet in there and I think I have a 25 or 22.5. It seems like the idle tuning can play a factor in the sputtering I'm having. If I change the air mixture screw and the idle screw, it'll either get better or worse. How's the puch been holding up otherwise?
The bike otherwise has been great, it actually runs really well - starts first kick, smooth idle and no bogging. But the plug chops show its lean. I'm running a 22.5 idle and a 210 main - everyone else is using much smaller main jets than me on similar setups so I assume I have other issues (air leak or something)
Cool video my friend! My Brother has an old Puch Cobra moped that I will be restoring for a surprise birthday present. What advice would you have for me? I would like to make it faster if possible.
Best regards,
Mike
You can't make em faster unless you register them as a motorcycle
interesting ai filter placement is it better like that?
why u driving on the white strip?
Yeah, if you are doing the speed limit take the lane so you don't get run over or slide out on the white line..... painted surfaces get like ice!
Some states have a law that mopeds can't be more than so many feet from the curb.
he is ticking in the cilinder whats wrong?
How fast is it?
nice moped top speed?
Does that have a gear box? Looks like he was using a clutch
No gearbox, single speed with an automatic, centrifugal clutch. The little lever on the left handlebar below brake lever is for starting only (bypasses the clutch).
Is that in new york?
Nice bike man how much does it cost and where can i get one?
Thanks, I got mine from craigslist for a couple hundred dollars. Buying the bike was the cheap part - the kit and the carb cost more.
Craigslist, eBay, MopedArmy (dot com) - the latter has the best prices, eBay and Craigslist can be a bit inflated.
n1bpd ok thank you. because i had plans to build a motorbike like this or convert my bicycle into a motorbike

where do you come from?
I come from England, but live in the US (Massachusetts).
B/S the plug would have bee RED hot!
I probably waited for it to cool, but edited out the gap.
Oh Cool! I like to wind people up!! I ride a Honda 50cc step though and don`t give a fuck!
How fast can it go?
45mph gearing etc is in description.
+n1bpd 16x40 gearing what do you mean by that, like 16 tooth motor sprocket 40 tooth wheel. lol its a shame i ride dirt bikes and im not even sure on this
Yup, that's exactly what it means Cody. I could put a bigger sprocket on the motor to get a higher top speed, but it would reduce the acceleration..
n1bpd ok. how does this thing do going up hills? i mean like steep hills. i have a lot of them around me in my area.
+Cody Davis You can make them strong and "slow". I have a MAXI-project at the moment in my garage that is going to be able to run up steep hills. If everything works out the way I want it to.
50cc?
jannetje de geit 70cc
Nice video but maybe next time explain what you're doing instead of making little notes of it.
I AGREE.......WHATS YOU DOING?
Die ammies verbauen schon komische teile
Facebook "puch maxi Club Türkiye"
do you not need a plate and stuff for this bike?
i'm not sure about the law in the US but I'm pretty damn sure that this thing is illegal on the road
unos videos impresonantes
puch and drunken driver check it video
The exhaust is bad
this is so bad, with the pedals
