so this might be a stupid question, but i just got my ped today, and was a little disappointed by the acceleration. compared to my brother's and my friend's it doesn't keep up well. it has good top speed, but off the line it is very slow.
i was wonder what i could do to improve it's acceleration. i'm not that moped/mechanic savvy yet, so i would prefer simpler things, but am open to all suggestions.
thanks!
p.s. it's a green '75 puch maxi s. i'll post a picture of it soon :)
YOu can try shaving the head to give you a bit more torque at lower rpms. Derestricting the exhaust should help a bit too.
what gearing are you running? count those teeth!
a smaller front sprock will help you take off better, but you'll lose top end.
You should get 12/45 gearing like me. You'll fly off the line, and top out at 18mph!
Actually, it would be better to just mill the head.
advance the timing
clean your carb son....if you haven't done so yet.
mine was a slow dog ,now its fast,i put a pipe,carb,kit and gears
i'm not sure what shaving the head is, but it sounds like it'd be a bit of a job, and i'm not very mechanically inclined. haha.
but i can maybe talk to the shop here in town about it.
thanks
yeah i thought about that. what's a good ratio for a fair amount of low end and top speed?
what bikes are you comparing yours to? what bikes do your friends have?
yeah, i probably need to. i need to learn how to, actually. ha. you know any good resources for learning how to clean a carb?
we all have puchs. mine's a '75 puch maxi s. i'm comparing it to a '78 puch maxi, '79 puch newport (i believe), and '81 puch newport II.
lol! that's awesome haha
would a 2000RPM Torque Spring help the acceleration ?
