Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you! However, the list they have provided doesn't seem to have a relevant club. So, they've suggested checking if we're entitled to the plate on a non transferable basis with a vehicle owners club. The DVLA are claiming it's never been registered (despite the tax disc still being on the bike). We are trying to obtain a V5C for the above vehicle.
The only parts I have changed are the carb float, (which I replaced when the original brass one sprang a leak and I botched the repair the replacement is a plastic version which had to be fettled slightly to fit), and the fuel tap (Keen eyed may have spotted the plastic tap, I still have the original brass one), so it is pretty much as close to original condition as one could wish, possibly even including the tyres?Īnyhoo, if you think anyone might be interested, have a look at the photos here:-Īnd feel free to email me if you have any queries.
It has obviously been kept under cover its entire life, and whilst after nearly 50 years there are plenty of little rust spots there are no structural issues, the paint and chroming is all original. I think the charm of the bike is that fact that it is totally unrestored. The tank could probably do with a liner, but I've never got round to it, I just whip the fuel filter off every so often and give it a clean. As you can imagine he is a sympathetic tester, but to be honest, there isn't really anything to pull it up on, everything works, (apart from the cut off switch) and it runs really nicely. It's quite a nice experience as the local bike shop was the original vendor and the owner remembers it from when he started at the shop in the 70's. If somebody does want to take it on I can organise an MOT if required. I use it most years, but the last two summers I have been otherwise engaged, so the last MOT ran out in April 2018. It appears to have been mothballed for 20 years from 1994 to 2013, since when it has been put back on the road, which required little more than cleaning the spark plug and fuel lines. It was first registered in May 1973, did about 5000 miles up until 1984 and is currently on 5900 ish. It came to me from a friend who acquired it at a funeral of all places.
Hi, I wondered if you could help with this? With regret I am looking to move on this lovely example of a Puch MS50D. Hi im in the process of restoring my dads old bike for his 95th birthday as a surprise ,its been in a shed fir 40yrs and not moved ,I require a petrol tank in reasonable condition as his is beyond repair. Can you help me with this? Thanks.īrownsboro, Al 35741 USA (i am 7 miles from Huntsville, Al USA I need a carb or carb kit, chain guard, air filter and front tire size 2.25x17. This page may prove helpful: Austrian Resources I am looking to purchase some Piston Rings but am unsure of the year this bike was manufactured, If possible can you tell me the part number for these?
Your help with this would be greatly appreciated. I have the brake shoes 'under control' but there is a question about the clutch plates.ĭo the clutch plates have asbestos in them or do they have cork inserts which was quite common at the time? In order to import it into Australia where I now live I have to declare all parts containing asbestos. I have one of the 250cc twin/single motorcycle (as per your picture ) bought in New Zealand in 1966. ThanksĪgree that it's most likely a Puch Maxi Newport II.
Please reply to the email since I am currently down a Puch rabbit hole on the web and don't know if I'll find this site again. I've been scouring the internet trying to nail it down and would appreciate any clarification you can offer. I think it is a Newport II as it appears to be a 2 speed, and has a decorative curvy labeling on the gas tank neck(at least the remnants appear so). It is in need of some heavy repair to get it back up and running, but I'm looking forward to it. Hello, I recently found an old Puch while cleaning out a friend's barn and I am trying to identify what model it is. I read that Sears Roebuck was responsible for the import into the US. I am interested in the Puch DS 50 and DS 60 or Cheetah export models to the USA and Great Britain. Perhaps try this page: Austrian Resources Hello I just start to rebuilt a Puch 250 TF, 1953 and I'm trying to find all info to make my work, places to buy parts, parts and shop manual, etc etc, please let me know if you can help me with it.
