man. I remember putting a 135ccm cylinder/piston set on my 80ccm vespa back in the 90s and it was the most rewarding ride of my life after it was done – after I did it 🙂
Went back into the archive to watch this series. Classic Mustie getting everything just so, and dialing it in. Also classic Mustie running ‘er wide open, hugging the white line on the shoulder.
You can lubricate with hair spray when putting on new grips. It is a light shellac and dries with glue properties, but can be overcome easily next grip change.
A friend of mine who worked at bicycle shops for over 15 years showed me a trick for putting on grips. Use hairspray, when it's wet it acts like a lubricant, then when it drys it holds them on almost like glue.
I recognize that this is an old video, but I used to work for a bicycle shop where I learned that aerosol hairspray works great for installing hand-grips. It's "slippery when wet," but sticky when dry…grips slide right on and stay where you leave them once it dries.
I know I'm late to the show, as it were, but thanks for these uploads – I really enjoyed following the Puch story. Wish I could find one of those here in Spain…

It sure sounds better !
Amazing!! Love your videos!!
Find a smaller rear sprocket or bigger front sprocket. 1 or 2 tooth.
Maybe I missed it, but what did you do to the fuel tank? Last thing I heard was you had vinegar in it. Did that help, did you coat it to seal it?
Runs better than new!!
