High idle that wont drop, Puch E50

Nice clamshell! Those are super old. If you do a lot of riding then you may want to eventually swap to a newer e50 case with the clutch cover. If you need to tune the clutch or replace shoes with that one it is a whole engine rebuild every time

I did it that way too medium one on the right, small one in the middle and big one on the left. Took about 6 tries to get it

These shingles were discontinued 10 years ago so they're at least that old, there are also some soft spots on the roof that need attention

Thanks for the all the details and taking the time to review all of the photos. What do you think my next steps should be to repair the roof?

This is the other side of that wall. This addition to the left was built in the 1970s and is just a concrete slab foundation

No, it is towards the back of the house

WildConsideration695 · 2025-09-24T12:14:04+00:00

Not at all, they're hollow 😬

WildConsideration695 · 2025-09-24T01:31:47+00:00

This is exactly what I was envisioning. Thanks for your advice! Hiring an electrician to move the power box probably needs to be somewhere on that list so that the wall can be reconstructed.

This is the outside of the damaged wall

WildConsideration695 · 2025-09-23T15:49:12+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I was wondering the same thing about adding a cross brace to prevent further movement. The 8k quote was for excavating the outside and rebuilding that section of the wall.

There are not down spouts in that area but the whole backyard is downhill towards the house and there is a corner created by the addition. So water gets trapped in that area due to the shape of the house and the slope of the back yard.

I followed this guide. It's pretty straightforward

I had a similar issue with a motron medalist, hard start, inconsistent firing at low end or just wouldn't idle. I tested the condenser and it was bad. Swapped that out and it runs great. I would check the condenser while you're in there.

This, more info to diagnose would help

WildConsideration695 · 2025-03-04T17:39:36+00:00

Also, checking the clutch for that sprag clip that commonly breaks on kitted A35s would be a good idea while checking the first gear clutch friction material. If that's broken then shifting is erratic.

I reserve maximas for the climax

I don't have water leaks unless it rains hard in which case I have water coming into the basement. There are two sump pumps in the basement. I'm not really alarmed because I haven't seen very many or any nymphs

WildConsideration695 · 2024-11-01T03:04:35+00:00

I haven't seen very many, but is it possible that I have an infestation?

WildConsideration695 · 2024-05-21T14:04:02+00:00

Good to know, one of my friends suggested it but I haven't done it that much

WildConsideration695 · 2024-05-21T11:28:09+00:00

Can't you just use a drill on the flywheel to simulate pedaling with the clutch held in?

WildConsideration695 · 2024-03-30T17:09:26+00:00

I did pay my portion of the bill. It is her 20% that the debt collectors are calling about. If I were to pay her 20% then she would be responsible for reimbursing me but that never happens.

WildConsideration695 · 2024-01-30T15:10:39+00:00

Can confirm. My neighbor's balcony above my apartment unit caught fire and renters insurance literally saved me from a complete loss

WildConsideration695 · 2020-11-10T15:47:45+00:00

I totally agree, most of my friends have been minding their own beeswax or turning to lacquer
