Hello Allstate Guy Can you explain to me the reason the brake light filiment is involved with the bike running (I am assuming that you are not joking) I do not...
... I think because the alternator is grounded through the normally closed brake switch. When the brake is used the switch is opened and the alternator finds...
Well, I replaced the condenser and still no luck. I must be missing something simple. I have a couple sets of points, they both look good and I have tried...
Troy, I'm having trouble understanding exactly what you are saying. 1st., if the points are opening 180* from TDC, that would make them open at BDC which won't...
L.D. You're right, that wasn't what I meant. The points start to open with a rotation of just less than 360 degrees and are fully open at TDC. I am rewiring...
Are you turning the engine over when you are making your magneto measurements? The magnets in the flywheel must be moving. I'm not at home right now but I...
Paul, Yes the reading is taken while kicking the engine over. I do have a wiring diagram, but unfortunately it's not solving my problem. Or rather I'M not...
I had a similar problem with my motorcycle last fall. I never tested the voltage off the magneto I used the spark plug against the engine test but I couldn't...
John, Thanks for the suggestions. No spark at the spark plug was my starting point and now I have reduced it to the origin of the spark (the magneto) and...
Troy, I had a similar problem on the sears allstate compact. No spark turned out to be one of the wires was not grounded solid onto a bolt close to the coil....

Got the Allstate up and running, still messing with the carb. But the horn only makes a "tunk" sound. Took it apart and saw the points looked pretty corroded,...
Not sure about the horn. On the seat, I tried to do the same thing a while back. The seat fits, sort of. On the older style bikes that came with the solo seat,...
Hi all, Please help me determine the accurate YEAR of manufacture of a Sears Allstate 250, Model 810.94222 and serial number #1720924 (primarily for Dept. of...
Hard to date them precisely, as titles were issued in the year sears sold them, (as with most other makes back then)..not year of manufacture.since bikes...
Well said Pat. Mine was purchased from Sears in December 68. Titled as a 67. I was told 2 years ago it is actually a 68. I have since been told, by Matthew at...
Depends on the bike. 250 twin tank bikes should be changed to straight high grade 2 cycle oil. Let the oil injectors mix it. Puch put out a addendum to the...
Hi I just picked up a 1965 sears 175. It looks like I will be needing some parts. The engine may be beyond repair but not sure yet. The kick start shaft was...
Puch 250 came with the manual saying to use straight 50 weight in the oil injector tank and in the crankcase. Best to use only in the crankcase. Mix is...
Great guy and place for parts is Matthew Quick at Motor West in Milwauke Wis. 414-875-8787 Bill rshelbert <rshelbert@...> wrote: Hi I just picked up a...
