Any Puch Experts Out There?

I have built a few puch Maxi's so I know a little (I'm not an expert). So whats the problem with the motor?

There is also a good bit of information on the moped army website. What bike are you planning to use it with?

There is no problem mounting it like you show in picture one.
Don't know about the wiring, suppose you could spin it over without the plug in, via the crankshaft and look for voltage at the wires.
There is a lever on the engine that engages the trans to start the engine when it is pulled. So you will need to use the stock lever or adapt a brake lever.

That engine brings back some wonderful memories for me. Had a Puch Maxi Sport i believe it was called. Fancy mag wheels and a chrome exhaust pipe running all the way to the back. I though i was all that plus a bag of chips cruising around. Of course i was only 14 at the time. Sorry about the trip down memory lane.
You could pull the flywheel and look at the wires coming off the coils, points and condenser, might help take some of the guess work out of things.

Ok First of all this engine is a 49cc and they way it is made it has to be turned over by a peddle start like some tomos mopeds. All the wires are color coded so you tell where they go. If you go on Moped army you can down load the e50 engine and see what wire goes where. I have worked on these engines for years and trying to put these engines on a bike is a little strange to me. It has to set level because it has engine oil in it just like a car. It uses auto trans fluid F-type. This thing has a clutch to start it and another kind to make it go all in the same area. It isn't easy. With a puch moped you have to start going and pull in the clutch to make it fire then the other clutch will start to engage and make the sprocket on the left side of the engine turn over. I hope I am not making this to hard but I would just try to sell it on Ebay or something like that and get a motor that would fit your bike a lot better.
