Had a Puch Maxi 1.5 as a kid. I actually found it out on a curb with the trash. It was like new looking. Carb was majorly gummed up. Rebuilt the carb and rode it everywhere throughout my teenage years. You just couldn't kill this thing. It ran even in the coldest weather. Sold it to some random guy when I started driving and bought a car. I wish I still had it, my son would have loved it!

As soon as you turned that puppy over it sounded exactly the same. Bingo Bango I was re-living that moment I first saw her on that moped. Thanks Bro`hamshire... lol

I had a Honda moped. It was great for short tip and even ling runs. The half galleon tank gave you about 70 mile range. I carried a litre bottle for long trips and just topped it when the tank went on to reserve. The only trouble was steep hills and windy weather. Got blown onto other side of road into on coming traffic and pissed my self is shock .

I bought a 1982 POOCH in 2008-ish with 600 miles on it that was sitting in a tool shed for about 25 years. I installed used tires, air filter, gasoline hose, washed it, changed gear oil, checked the tank and chain, mixed some gasoline and started it up. Later got a $20 carb set by a lawnmower guy. 40mph for $120 total in for a 2 speed auto moped...

i owned one of these when i was a kid, they are so easy to take apart and repair. us cool kids removed the peddles, and just ran to turn it on!. PS you can not break a puch, they have so few moving parts. that it will always run!. and i do not think that is the original exhaust!, the original one had a bevel on the end of it, didnt it,, its been 20 years since i last seen one or worked on one. this brought back many good memories me as a 16 year old with my 1st GF on the back going to the beach. i even bought her a special buddy seat for the back. PS PS you can make that thing go 50-60 miles per hour, if you want, just use a different exhaust, diffrent cog on the rear wheel, a better/bigger carb, the problem is..breaks!.. the breaks need to be buffed up- too, because they are not made to go that fast!

Your knowledges of the mechanic are so much that you probably won't need much of that manual book unless you need the exact name of the missing/brokn part that you need to order. And i am not sure you even need that. You are kind like my father in making/repairing guitar, violins or any music wooden instruments, he can repair any instrument, creating pieces for the instrument as needed from scratch and even created tools to make those pieces. That's why i enjoy watching your videos that much. You might not be the certified technician, but you probably are one of the best guys out there to fix any kind of problem that we can rely on. You are also almost the exact same kind ofperson as my dad was, he wasn't big on polishing talks nor very polite when he is working, however, he almost always finished fixing stuffs once he started it. You are too, not big talk but you deliver the result, thats the most important thing in this new modern society, lot of big talkers but not enough doers and certainly, lot less finisher.

A Very heavy engineering based company of who's equipment I've lusted after for years. Lucky find and a testament to the engineering of Puch that your Maxi is running without much effort at all.

That had mopeds and we tricked them out to do about 60-70 miles an hour.(far from stock,bored out,stroked ported,big carb,trick clutch and geared.) They were way illegal. I still have mine. 70cc,2:1 gearing trick clutch and 21mm Dell' orto carb.

I enjoy watching all your videos but this one was special to me as I bought this very model Puch for $20 in 1995 when I was 14. It was a mess, but I was able to get it running well. I had to replace all the levers and cables on the handle bars, which were surprisingly expensive at the time, but it gave me mobility until I got my regular license when I was 16. When yours first fired, that exhaust note was exactly as I remembered it. Brought back a lot of memories. 👍 Thanks for uploading the video!

So much fun to watch this one, these were very cool when I was 16. I still have mine from 84, bought 2nd hand in 87. And of cource make them run faster. It was a hard job to get them above 100km/h. This meant we had the carburator of of it a lot. You can turn it towards you and pull it off. The cable can be pressed into to throttle bushing and then moved out. In the best days we ran these with 70CC and a carb from an old 80cc Zundap. Of cource bigger exhaust and even drill out the ports in the engine housing so it could breath more. Sometimes running this above 14.000 RPM, wich meant we had total engine failures alot. about every 6 to 8 months, I had a spare, totally redone engine waiting for the running one to explode. Very easy engines to work on, parts where very available and cheapish. Had a lot of fun with these. Still have mine, did a total restauration in the 90ies, but it is rotting again in my garage! There were 2 speed Puch Macho's, but my Maxi was just one speed with a big wet slipperclutch.

Had a lot of Puch mopeds. Maxi, Newport, Magnum, E50 and ZA50, Sears Free Spirit and JC Penny Pinto, made by Puch/Kromag. Also had a Peugeot 103, Moby 50V, Bianchi, Garelli, and Tomos. The worst things about Puch mopeds are those Bing carbs and the white plastic junction blocks. The screws in those always stripped out, allowing the wires to come loose. I rewired every Puch I had. I still have 2 Puchs, a Free Spirit, which is mostly Puch parts, and a Tomos A35 Targa.

His best friend bought the model you have in the video, even the same color. There were 4 more in my neighborhood, all Puchs, all essentially similar - they were just really well built, and I wish I still had mine.

Next time you have a stuck throttle valve slider, heat the carb body with a torch. The valve will come out like butter. It's gunked up old gas holding it, heat will soften the gunk. I rebuild motorcycle carbs. Done it many times, works great. Works great on stuck jets too. BTW your videos are very awesome : )

I have a old Kaw 100 with a stuck slide in the carb. I was just getting ready to trash the whole thing.....I can't wait to give it try. :)

I bought one in similar condition a few years ago, mine was the 3hp luckily, loved working on it a quality machine, didn't like to ride it as much as my batavus though.

Finally got around to watching this particular video. The scene where Mustie goes to blow and test both sides of the carb gave me a chuckle. At first, I thought he was kissing the carb....

I had a PUCH myself. Almost completely the same as I did have. Choke down is on and it comes up when you hit the gas a couple of times. Greets from the Netherlands. Jur

If you wanna take the carb off without unbolting the intake each time, you can simply tilt it sideways while still on the intake and pull it out! That's how I do mine! Enjoy your videos, keep up good work! Cheers

When I grew up, in the UK we called these pedal & pops, my geography teacher rode a similar Puch, and used to laugh watching him pedalling it on the big steep hill near where I lived

I had one of those, went for miles, carried some extreme loads, can't praise it enough. Water was its main enemy, an extra flap on the mudguard is needed.

@Mustie1 I love those old German/Austrian mopeds. I had a Sachs when I was a kid. That's what I first learned mechanics on. Such a simple design, yet when you take a close look at how they were assembled it's really quite genius how efficiently they were put together but quality never suffered. The engine internals were as well machined as anything back then. Oh and it's okay to call them motors. I'd love some internet know it all tell me Henry Ford was wrong when he named his company the "Ford Motor Company".

Those Puch's were all the rage in the early 80's. Saw a lot of them here in California back then and even rode a few. The pedals were worthless but their presence allowed them to ride in the bike lane back then.

hi mustie1 love the video and just had to come in and comment on this one, you were right when you said puch but I would think there are many different ways to say it. This brought back many memory's for me as this was the first bike I bought with my first wage packet when I first got my learners license back 33-34 years ago, I would just like to say that I did progress up the ladder all the way to large passenger vehicle's and large goods vehicle's sothis little moped gave me a good start on the road. keep up the great work
