I bought this model in 1978/1979. I loved it. I added the longer, banana seat and back pegs for two people to ride. I added turn signals and side mirrors. I loved this bike.
This brings back memories, thanks for that. I have owned a new Puch from 1988 until 1992, in the Netherlands your are allowed only a 50 cc engine with max speed of 35-ish km/h. But as we were tinkering with these mopeds we could get 60 to 70 km/h. Some did almost 90/km/h. Every boy from age 16 did had a moped. After a few years I had also a Kreidler Florett. Those where fantastic mopeds.
I remember these mo=peds being all over the place in thelate 70's. They are very well made. Some of the earlier Puch mopeds from the 60's were sold through Sears and were standard shift. So nice to see it happily running. Great work and video!!
This brings back happy memories of my aunties moped she sometimes pulled me and my brother along on our custom push bikes she made for us. Thanks, keep up the great work. Scotty UK
So glad I found your CZcams. Enjoy it tremendously. Great to see someone that experienced explain the process. You make your viewers feel like part of the process.
The moment your cranked it up with the 58, and did its first revs, I knew it was the right one! Sweet sound just what you wanted. (Owned a dysfunctional 2stroke scooter as my first bike sure as hell teached me a lot of things!). I really enjoy your videos Mustie!
Enjoyed that whole resurection . I guess I had not thought about an old two stroke that had not been run in years being protected by the heavy oil coating on all engine internals compared to a four stroke . As an avid motorcycle rider and shade tree mechanic myself , seeing you ride it at night with the massive half candlepower headlight scared me half to death .
That "Puching " thing is saaaaaweeeeet.. nice job .. wish you lived in the south , I would buy that for my son for his 10 th birthday when you finally sell it. Thanks showing us your awesome work.
Hi Mustie, like your videos. A friend of mine who tunes racing 2 strokes does the following to modify main jets. He solders the jet closed as the body is brass and it is solderable, and then runs carby drills from lean to rich and tries the jet, runs up the numbers until he gets the best top end and transition. I have not tried this myself but I thought you may find the technique interesting, Regards, Richard
It's a joy to see the way you solve any problem ... When they said, "Houston, we have a problem," somebody probably said, "Get that Mustie1 Guy! ... Nice work fellah ... From Robin Hood country in the UK.
Back in the 80's a friend of mine had done some really cool stuff to his PUCH. One of the most impressive things he did was take the wheel hub and cut/thread the spokes to fit 20 inch rims. He could leave a light like he'd been hit from behind, but would top out at 35 mph. Great stuff here. Nostalgia and knowledge.
great video. very informative. I am glad they don't make this bike any longer. if you want pedals and a motor then an electric mountain bike is perhaps now a better option, and they don't make that horrible noise and smoke. look forward to your next video.
Thanks for all of the informative videos. I've been an air cooled engine mechanic since the late 80's and you have shown me some pretty good tricks and tips that I now value.(Air cooled VW's, Kawisaki triples, H-D's and small engines are my favorite engines.) Keep up the great videos, and thanks for taking the time to document your repairs. William.
My first bike was a 1964 Honda Trail 90. I bought it used in 1965...a friend had a CRF 150 and we swapped carburetor jets. He wanted less gas consumption and I wanted more power...we both got what we wanted.
I know I'm late to the show, as it were, but thanks for these uploads - I really enjoyed following the Puch story. Wish I could find one of those here in Spain...
I have always used hairspray for glue for handgrips on my bicycles and motorcycles. My father taught me that trick and I would always grab the can from my mother. It acts like a lube to install and then after it dries, the grips would not move. Keep up the great work, this old gal loves watching your videos.
Had a thought re: cleaning that frame gas tank, long and thin. How about an inexpensive/Harbor Freight, dryer vent tool? Wider brush, fairly stiff, and has flexible connector for the drill. Enjoy! RichE
i had one of these 29 years ago to pass my bike licance.these vids took me right back.thankyou for sharing and well done on a great restoration.keep up the great work and keeping us entertained.
man. I remember putting a 135ccm cylinder/piston set on my 80ccm vespa back in the 90s and it was the most rewarding ride of my life after it was done - after *I* did it :)
For the handgrips, an old bike (aka bicycle) shop trick for putting grips onto handlebars is spraying the inside of the grip with hairspray. Gives you a few seconds of lubrication/workability to get it on the handlebar right where you want it, then quickly dries to act like an adhesive.
Over here in the UK, we call them Puck as in F--k, back in 1973 a friend of mine told me there was a woman needing some help with one that wouldn't start (he was on a matchmaking deal) and the incentive to fix it was the rhyme he told me i would probably get that if I fixed her Puck, you get the idea. Anyway I got it running and she became my first wife, that lasted 3 yrs, of course the Puck is still running it seems. So plenty of nostalgia watching you work on one, i know many call them pooch and other variants, but for us from the middle of the UK there is only one way to say it, great video,and nice to see it all done and sorted. Cheers Dave
Brought back so many memories as I had a 1972 Puch Maxi S in purple. Nice to hear it running so sweetly. I did miles on mine. Even took it to Scotland on holiday/vacation.
MR MUSTIE IS A ALBERT EINSTEIN OF THESE TIMES AND VERY HUMBLE SOUL.THAT LIKES SHARING HIS WISDOM WITH OTHER THINKERS AND DIY YOUR AMAZING SIR AND I MYSELF HAVE LEARNED NEW TRICKS OF THE TRADES. ASWELL MY RESPECTS TO YOU!!✌✌🖒🖒✌👊 OHH YEAHH P.S. I LOVE ALL YOUR BUGS VIVA LA BUG REVOLUTION 😉😎
Mustie1, thanks for your informative series of videos. My dad turned me on to the first one I watched, the 1972 SL125 will it run, as I had discovered a mouse nest in my air cleaner compartment of my 1974 Yamaha DT250, just like you did. Also, my first road motorcycle, which was my dad's that he passed on to me, was a 1971 Honda SL125! After that first video, I was hooked. My dad recently suggested that I watch this series on the Puch, as I am having carburetor issues with the Yamaha, and since it's a two-stroke he thought they might be helpful to me, and he is correct. I already plan on removing and properly cleaning the carb, specifically the jets, as I am experiencing the same issues that you were. After watching you explain the fundamentals and method of cleaning, repairing and adjusting a carburetor, I am no longer intimidated by it. Thanks again!
Whenever I put new grips on a motorcycle, I clean the area and then spray women's hairspray on...slide the grip on while it's wet and it goes right on but the hairspray evaporates within seconds and leaves a sticky/tacky connection underneath that leaves no mess but works almost like glue to cement that grip to the handle.
Yeah this was on dirbikes, so I really wanted them to stay on there when things got wet and sloppy........ By the times the grips needed to come off, most likly the bars were bent and needed changing too.....
So evident, even several videos back it's not your first day diagnosing those carbs! Nice of a viewer to send those jets too. Killer test drive. Pretty much keeping up with the cars. Great grip install/removal trick. Put that on file here...
Yeah love your videos ,I wish I lived near you so I could buy one of your mopeds ,probably couldn't afford it anyways ,but I no you do good and you mopeds would be safe and reliable ,you have a very nice shop and the skills to do all the cool things you do
That worked out great Mustie plus I got to ride along sounded like a nice ride that mirror did make things larger than they appear thanks another fine video!!! ; )
Nice job with the Puch! I'm excited to see the new yard sale bike, I'm pretty interested in learning how to ride myself, and picking up a bike to ride. At least until my VW is fixed and the rain comes back.
That thing is so beyond cool!!! Just for even like toodling along to the corner store or something, or to take along with u just in case of breakdown, you'll never be stuck. You might also try widening the point gap a lil bit, sometimes that helps em run a lil cooler
Used to race 2-cycle karts (100cc McCullough). Had a head temp gauge with the probe as a spark plug gasket. Wanted the head temp to be ~25F less than meltdown...
Find it real upsetting that every time There is someone and or persons who dislike ur vids..why ....makes no sense to me ..you do a real good job. Keep it up
taylor06051 Sometimes I downvote certain videos of certain people which seem to have good quality for the type of video it is, just because I don't like the type of video. This way, I'm telling the YT algorithm to think of something else
Just like in real life, ignore negative comments from strangers. If your family or close friends have something negative to say, it may be worth consideration. On the Internet, there are a lot of unhappy people who do nothing but criticize all day. They are not worth acknowledging. You can't "fix" them, and their thoughts are irrelevant.
I recognize that this is an old video, but I used to work for a bicycle shop where I learned that aerosol hairspray works great for installing hand-grips. It's "slippery when wet," but sticky when dry...grips slide right on and stay where you leave them once it dries.
Awesome job. Glad to see another Puch on the road. And as some other commenters have said, hair spray for the handle bars works quite well. At least Aqua Net does.
for bicycle handlebars I spritz hair spray into the grip for a few seconds and then immediately place the grip on the bar before the hairspray drys to a sticky tack. I find that works best for bicycles and likely would be the same for the motorbike.
Man, she's purring like a mean kitty now! I like! I'm thinking of picking up a moped for a shop project of my own thanks to you bud! This two stroke stuff's contagious, I tell ya! That Puch sounded like it's got a two range transmission on it? Thanks for posting bud! Take care!
The bicycle store I worked in used to use a tiny dab of dish soap to put on hand grips. Grips slide right on, soap dries quickly and they stay put. They were easier to remove/replace later as well, using the compressed air trick.
A friend of mine who worked at bicycle shops for over 15 years showed me a trick for putting on grips. Use hairspray, when it's wet it acts like a lubricant, then when it drys it holds them on almost like glue.
Went back into the archive to watch this series. Classic Mustie getting everything just so, and dialing it in. Also classic Mustie running ‘er wide open, hugging the white line on the shoulder.
i always put my grips on with a light coating of goop. makes them slip on really easily and holds fast but isnt a terror to break when taking them back off. ive found that if i dont use any glue the grips wander around over time and im constantly having to mess with them.
Have you tried using hairspray to install grips? We used it in the bike shop where I worked . When it's wet, it works as a lube to ease installation and when it dries it acts as an adhesive to help prevent slippage but is not so sticky as to make removal later difficult. We also would spray compressed air into the grip when removing it.
Sounds great, looks good and runs really well (at least from my camera point of view anyway)! Yes I did bump my head but it's internally damaged anyway.
So much difference to the other test ride. If I didn't know anything to the contrary, I would assume the The Prof has worked his magic once again...and what great supporters you have to send you those alternate jets.
I bought this model in 1978/1979. I loved it. I added the longer, banana seat and back pegs for two people to ride. I added turn signals and side mirrors. I loved this bike.

Puch the magic moped, lives with Mustie And brought back to life ,shiny and purring . Instead of being rusty. Ta dah.👏
Enjoyed that whole resurection . I guess I had not thought about an old two stroke that had not been run in years being protected by the heavy oil coating on all engine internals compared to a four stroke . As an avid motorcycle rider and shade tree mechanic myself , seeing you ride it at night with the massive half candlepower headlight scared me half to death .
Enjoyed that one. Thankyou from someone who doesn't have a garage, least now I can tinker while I've got a beer. Subbed
That "Puching " thing is saaaaaweeeeet.. nice job .. wish you lived in the south , I would buy that for my son for his 10 th birthday when you finally sell it. Thanks showing us your awesome work.

Nicely done. Fun to watch the completed project. I used to service Puchs when in college. Lotta memories brought back by this restoration.

Phew, I was not sure if I send the right size jet. You ended up using the smallest one?
It runs much better now, good job Mustie!
I forgot to mention, you also could change the position on the needle.
It looks like your help got him to 35.
@@PuchMaxi The needle position has no effect on the WOT air fuel ratio
Watching your video it made me think about my moped how much fun i have back in my younger years back in 1979 to 1986 after 86 my dad sold it.
Believe it or not I’ve got a speeding ticket in Austria with a Puch moped. Great job Mustie 👍
Nice!... all repaired, de-rusted, shined-up, lubed up, tuned-up... beautiful job, Mustie1... no one will have to push THAT Puch. :-)
Excellent series. I enjoy it so much. The things folks throw away. Thanks again.
You definitely don't quit till it's right,love it
i had one of these 29 years ago to pass my bike licance.these vids took me right back.thankyou for sharing and well done on a great restoration.keep up the great work and keeping us entertained.
Loved that you explained the jetting process, always been a mystery for me. Great video!

Rubber cement inside the grips works well. They just slide on and stick well. I very much like your vids Mustie. Keep on keepin' on!
Super job! Loved all the Puch videos! 🏍🏍
Brought back so many memories as I had a 1972 Puch Maxi S in purple. Nice to hear it running so sweetly. I did miles on mine. Even took it to Scotland on holiday/vacation.

ASWELL MY RESPECTS TO YOU!!✌✌🖒🖒✌👊 OHH YEAHH P.S. I LOVE ALL YOUR
BUGS VIVA LA BUG REVOLUTION 😉😎
It's nice that you have the original Puch pedals for this. A lot of people would swap them for bike pedals for some reason, back in the day.
Mustie1, thanks for your informative series of videos. My dad turned me on to the first one I watched, the 1972 SL125 will it run, as I had discovered a mouse nest in my air cleaner compartment of my 1974 Yamaha DT250, just like you did.

I was just going to write that, hairspray allways works for grips :-)
me too!
I used carb cleaner, it would vulcanize the rubber slightly and make it stick but also allow it to slide right on......
I tried carb cleaner once myself but it made it a nightmare to get those grips off later when I wanted to change them.
Yeah this was on dirbikes, so I really wanted them to stay on there when things got wet and sloppy........ By the times the grips needed to come off, most likly the bars were bent and needed changing too.....
Love the old mopeds. Love the old dirt bikes too. Absolutely adore the Vespas. We want to see the scooter rumble again. Please?!
Mustie1 First man to get speeding ticket on a Moped. It really looks new and runs like new.
She sounds so much better Darrin , Great little moped now man ! Thumbs up..
newbie mechanic here. every video i learned something. much respect sir!
So evident, even several videos back it's not your first day diagnosing those carbs! Nice of a viewer to send those jets too. Killer test drive. Pretty much keeping up with the cars. Great grip install/removal trick. Put that on file here...
Yet another brilliant project,totally respect your work. Rodge David Kidderminster UK😀
Yeah love your videos ,I wish I lived near you so I could buy one of your mopeds ,probably couldn't afford it anyways ,but I no you do good and you mopeds would be safe and reliable ,you have a very nice shop and the skills to do all the cool things you do
That worked out great Mustie plus I got to ride along sounded like a nice ride that mirror did make things larger than they appear thanks another fine video!!! ; )
I had 4 of these when I was a young lad ,,great little bikes cheers Shane uk
Sounds good. It sounds maybe just a little lean for my liking, but you know what you're doing. Nice of him to send you all those jets.
I like that Puch ! thanks for sharing
Nice job, sounds and looks great! Next on your list should be a puch magnum if you can find one.
Delighted to see the end result as I'm sure you are. Thanks for sharing. Always a thumbs up from me.
Nice job with the Puch! I'm excited to see the new yard sale bike, I'm pretty interested in learning how to ride myself, and picking up a bike to ride. At least until my VW is fixed and the rain comes back.
That thing is so beyond cool!!! Just for even like toodling along to the corner store or something, or to take along with u just in case of breakdown, you'll never be stuck. You might also try widening the point gap a lil bit, sometimes that helps em run a lil cooler
Excellent video. Learnt a lot. Cant wait to try out the fixes on my Puch.
Used to race 2-cycle karts (100cc McCullough). Had a head temp gauge with the probe as a spark plug gasket. Wanted the head temp to be ~25F less than meltdown...
Nothing like my daily fix of Mustie1 videos. Another great job. Looking forward to seeing that Honda come back to life.
Thanks for continuing to make videos. I'm still enjoying all of them.
a great barn find and a very good moped I had one and used to go 6miles per day to and back from work saves using the bigger bikes to get to work
Great videos,,,I love the nacks you have for fixing stuff,,,
She runs sweet now for sure. Nice repairs.
Great and innovative approaches ;again what a clean and nice looking bike!
She really fly's now,job well done.
Love these old mopeds. Brings back alot of memories.
Find it real upsetting that every time There is someone and or persons who dislike ur vids..why ....makes no sense to me ..you do a real good job. Keep it up
taylor06051 I feel the same way

He gets paid either way. The same for a like or dislike. Just the reaction means he has attracted eyeballs.
Running like brand new..........sounds great!!!
I recognize that this is an old video, but I used to work for a bicycle shop where I learned that aerosol hairspray works great for installing hand-grips. It's "slippery when wet," but sticky when dry...grips slide right on and stay where you leave them once it dries.
She runs like a top now. Nice work!
You should do a tool box tour video. I'm interested to see your tool collection.
Every time I see that 'Mustie1 uploaded a new video' Notification, I drop what I'm doing, grab a snack, and relax for a bit.
Can one pedal the bike sans motor?
Honda bond works real well on the handles thats awesome i have an 85 mkII LOVE IT I GOTTA CLEAN THE TANK ASWELL
Thanks for the ride, it was awesome. That Puch looks in pretty good shape. I has a Solex once wish I had kept it.
Amazing what a tiny little change can make! I can hardly wait to see the Honda get its turn to come back.
You nailed those Jets Mate!!☺
I can't wait till you start working on the 1969 Honda CT90. Those are kick ass
Awesome job. Glad to see another Puch on the road. And as some other commenters have said, hair spray for the handle bars works quite well. At least Aqua Net does.
for bicycle handlebars I spritz hair spray into the grip for a few seconds and then immediately place the grip on the bar before the hairspray drys to a sticky tack. I find that works best for bicycles and likely would be the same for the motorbike.
should have checked the comments before I left mine.
That turned out pretty good! It is amazing that you can find parts for these bikes.
A nice finish.. Looks great!
Man, she's purring like a mean kitty now! I like! I'm thinking of picking up a moped for a shop project of my own thanks to you bud! This two stroke stuff's contagious, I tell ya! That Puch sounded like it's got a two range transmission on it? Thanks for posting bud! Take care!
The bicycle store I worked in used to use a tiny dab of dish soap to put on hand grips. Grips slide right on, soap dries quickly and they stay put. They were easier to remove/replace later as well, using the compressed air trick.
I love seeing a project through to the end :) great job mustie! New sub
It's like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood for backyard gear-heads.
Welcome to the neighborhood!
love your work Mustie 1. Good trick with the compressed air for getting handlebar grip on.
cant wait for the Honda, nice bike.
A friend of mine who worked at bicycle shops for over 15 years showed me a trick for putting on grips. Use hairspray, when it's wet it acts like a lubricant, then when it drys it holds them on almost like glue.
Love your vids, I learn a lot and you have great camera angles.
Went back into the archive to watch this series. Classic Mustie getting everything just so, and dialing it in. Also classic Mustie running ‘er wide open, hugging the white line on the shoulder.
brings back memories, always wanted one when I was a teen. Nice job!
I use dawn on the grips. You make up a bowl, put the grips in then slide them on. They are a bear to get off once they dry, but they hold really good.
i always put my grips on with a light coating of goop. makes them slip on really easily and holds fast but isnt a terror to break when taking them back off. ive found that if i dont use any glue the grips wander around over time and im constantly having to mess with them.
Loved the end results , your better than Sherlock Holmes lol
A little bigger jet with the ignition timing a little earlier could be a good idea.
Have had great results with that with those puchs in the past.
Have you tried using hairspray to install grips? We used it in the bike shop where I worked . When it's wet, it works as a lube to ease installation and when it dries it acts as an adhesive to help prevent slippage but is not so sticky as to make removal later difficult. We also would spray compressed air into the grip when removing it.
Sounds great, looks good and runs really well (at least from my camera point of view anyway)!
Yes I did bump my head but it's internally damaged anyway.
Mustie1 But don't get carried away! If you use too much blue tape the neighbor's might think you joined the Blue Man Group!!
allways used hairspray for my grips...helps slide on when wet and when dry it sticks...love peace and happieness
So much difference to the other test ride. If I didn't know anything to the contrary, I would assume the The Prof has worked his magic once again...and what great supporters you have to send you those alternate jets.
Learned two things today at Mustie 1 school ofsmall to midsize engine and equipment repair Thanks!
watching you fight the hand grip on the puch moped, hairspray works the best. it lubes for install and when it dries it is like glue.
Man I love that sound. I had a 2001 Tomos Targa LX top tank with a35 engine. I loved that thing wish I still had it
