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 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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
