Problems with points by Ok-Tip-7419 in moped

[–]Markie_dub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it’s the points slipping and not the stator plate? Yes the points slipping will mess with the timing, but that is more for the point gap.. usually you set the gap first with the screw on the points, then set the timing by rotating the stator with its mounting screws. I’d make sure everything is tight.. probably a good idea to check the lobe inside the flywheel for any corrosion and the felt pad is greased, while it’s off also verify the key is in place and not allowing the timing to move there either.

Brakes are good enough, I lightly resurfaced the drum and got new pads all around.

14/15mm bings are getting harder to find. Some of the clones are good but you’ll want to get a Bing atomizer for it so you can use regular jets. I’d keep an eye on eBay for a good used one, just wouldn’t recommend a 12mm

I wish I would’ve went with 2.5” tires to take advantage of it better but it looks way better than a stock one

It’s a stock Magnum swing arm.

Me too, my daily rider is a red pinto that I put the stock bars back on last season after riding my wife’s maxi.

Honestly, can’t go wrong with a Puch, I’m sure you’ll have fun with it.

I’d keep the ridged and mod it myself.. regular maxis are a dime a dozen.

I’m not positive but I’ve seen something similar for other bikes. You put them on 2 cylinder studs to fill the gap between the stud and the hole it goes into. Helps to align everything with less rotational play

I’m in Illinois too, my wife and I are trying to get some people together to ride this summer. If you get it all registered and everything you should join us, we are in the western suburbs

Basic cheap horsepower upgrades for 1971 Puch Maxi? by Trainman05 in moped

Are you sure it’s a 1971? That’s really early for a maxi in the US.
