Puch E50 Lights, Power, LED Conversion

So I have a Rog Pony Express with Puch's E50 engine, I drew how my stator looks(I have an internal bosch ignition coil)and the thing is, I think I dont have near enough watts to power my incandescent bulbs, I have to power my headlight, tail light, brake light, and even my horn. What is the best thing to do? I saw someone on the internet place one smaller light coil right above the main one, and even above the ignition coil, is that the best "fix", as much as I saw they can only produce 3 watts right?, so if I had two, I could maybe be in the clear for the tail light and the brake light, but again is my main one going to be strong enough for my headlight and horn. I thought to switch completely to DC, now I know I would need a 6v regulator, full bridge rectifier and one capacitor for smoothing out the full bridge rectifier. But problems once again, my light bulb in my headlight(I only have a headlight right now) is a P26S, and in my county there is NO ONE selling it(I mean a P26S LED 6V 5W). I would have to order it from PuchShop, and wait for weeks, just to get one, and what if I was riding somewhere and couldnt just buy the goddam light bulb, just because i dont have a standard light bulb. So my question is, should i stay on AC, or switch do DC and find some standard light bulb and convert my headlight to that standard. Hope you guys understood me, as you can see English is not my first language.

Puch E50 loses power when warmed up

So as the title says, i have a Rog Pony Express with Puch's E50 engine. When cold moped goes fine, even from the start, even though it has only one gear, it has good top and bottom end power, but when i ride it for 5 to 10 mins, and get it warmed up it loses like 40% of its power, i suspect the crank seals(i think they have not been changed for 50 years), but the thing is they are not leaking oil, so what could it be? Or could the seals still be the problem even though i dont see oil leaking. Now i know its my bad for not changing them when i was opening the engine case, but to be honest i am really unexperienced and this moped was my entry to mechanics and moped fixing, i know when i inspected them they were solid, and my clever brain said "well if its firm it obviously means its in good condition". After closing the case, i found out that they were supposed to be made out of rubber, and not be that firm 😅
