1978 Puch Magnum

Edit. Previous owner is a moped mechanic who upgraded to have digital ignition. The light in front is too dim to use at night or in a storm. See 3rd picture for proof that i was in a dark storm. The bike is off in the pic, but the light was barely brighter than that. Other than that it works very well when it's dry. I bought dielectric grease to squirt into all its most electrifying places.

Hi, I got a Puch Dart.

So it bogged down and stopped twice, each time after a small downhill, where i guess i didn't hit the throttle enough. I think it flooded. Now though the starter clutch doesn't clutch. It has meager acceleration, slows down significantly on uphills, and is my first moped love. It has a unique clutch though and i'm gonna work on it again to see if adding a spacer of some kind would help. If it doesn, t then i think i need an impossible to find replacement part.

Also, what do people think of the Honda Express Sr 50? I just got one of those and it's a two stroke scooter or noped, and I'm not quite sure what category it fits in other than fun.
