I have just put on the road a recently acquired PUCH 250SG 1955 model. I bought it as 'recently restored', it looks great and visible parts are in good...
I had this troubles at one time or another. It turned out to be a low charge to a bad battery.Both my 250s and one 175 are fussy starters if they don't have a...
Just thought I would add a few ideas. "recently restored" - Remove and check the plugs. If they used a long reach(long threaded neck) plug, they get hot after...
I know it depends upon the characteristics/condition of your engine, but what plug number are you running Bill? PS, I don't believe Motorwest has 175 or 250...
#1 First of all thank you to those who responded to my call for help. #2 Some facts. The battery (nominally 6volts) was at 6.2V this morning so it was being...
Hi, I found out the hard way why my 175cc ran best right before it melted the pistons....TIMING! If the plugs aren't fouled, I'd be looking at the battery...
In a two cycle motor the crank and the piston walls recive there lubercation via the gas. Some have oil injection like our Puchs. As not all of the oil is...
OK Bill, it will be a little while, but when I order I'll let you know! No problem. I got to get some money together too. Might as well get some rings and...
Thanks again for the feedback. But my early optimism appears unfounded. I still don't know what the problem is but I'm certainly getting to know the symptoms! ...
Crankshaft seal problem is not one I have heard off causing this problem. I am still nore inclined to believe it is a possability of three problems. 1.  ...
I can certainly attest to the timing issue! I have a 1964 Sabre 50cc, and let me tell you that timing is everything!! If you think you have it correct, check,...
I'm a new owner of a 1968 Sears 250 Allstate Puch. I've started the restoration process I'm looking for some assistance in locating parts and tools for the...
Todd: Â If you start with the thought that the Puch is a curse...sell it off and get a CrapJunk....then you will know a curse. I have rebuilt 8 Puchs so far...
I'm starting work on my first Sears 250 my son found for me!!!! I always wanted a twingle and now I have one. Been riding for fourty years but never a Sears...
Again thank you for the feedback - you have given me plenty to check - especially timing. The sparks look great - I wish I had sparks as good for starting my ...

Good rims? Snake hips I say! Snake hips! Rims were very poorly chromed in Austria and the first to be shot along with the muffler casings. Hard to get.  If...
