MOPED ARMY

Oh yah glad to see there is such a cool community and following of such a FUN vehicle. Nice to meet you all, here from Denver , Colorado.

Nice thx for the quick reply. Could you explain to me a little on jets? I saw them for cheap on 1977mopeds.com -- I beleive i have a stock carb, once i get my cam i will take pics. Are jets universal or do i have to get a certain Puch Maxi jet?

You don't need a specific Puch Maxi for your jetting and performance pipe needs -- he's one of the cheapest on the web, and he ships fast enough to blow your mind.

The basic concept with the jet and upjetting is that when you add a performance exhaust, you're improving/increasing the air flow through your carb and engine. Since you've got more air, you need a bigger jet (jet controls fuel flow) to match the increased air. That's probably not a technically perfect description, but I think it's good enough.

The Denver guys have found you, so you really probably don't need any more help than that, but if you want to look into carb cleaning/rejetting on your own, there are some videos linked at the bottom of this page that should help. The performance tuning page and Fred's Guide are also great resources.

Welcome, and good luck!

Wow, well I went to clean my carberator and to my suprise it looked nothing like a Bing Carb that was on the videos or on the net when i looked it up. I'm not sure if a bing carb is a certain style of carb or a brand lol, so i may infact have a bing carb, but upon pulling the carb off i noticed it was very clean which made me sad because i was hoping that's why my moped was sucking. To my suprise i read Delltorto on it or however u spell it and 16.16--- Hmmmmm, isnt this a pretty good carb? and how would i adjust it? Now im really confused lol.

Oh yah i tried callin yah derik but i guess we playing phone tag cause i saw that you tried to call me maybe at same time. I will try here in a bit bro, hopefully thats allright with you

Actually, it may be more confusing for you now, but that is good news. A lot of people prefer the Dellortos to Bings, and the 16.16 is significantly bigger than the good ol' 12mm Bing. There isn't an exact equivalent to the Bing videos for a Dellorto, but the best stuff you can probably watch is all linked here. The three videos under "Dellorto" are all on a Tomos, but I would think they would be applicable to a Dellorto on a Puch. Also, if you scroll down to the bottom under "other," there's a thing from wired magazine that has an article about taking apart Dellortos (or so I've been told ... my computer refused to load it). It might not be the exact same model you've got, but it might help.
