Plug is probably a BR5HS or BR6HS - NGK. I've tried the Champion equivalent

If it won't fire at all and you have a compression release valve, check to make
sure it isn't stuck open.

Dear Tom, that is just what I would do if I ever saw just the bike parked
somewhere, but I haven't. I have only seen the Puch, and it's rider, dashing
through the parking lot and out onto another street and away. I've jumped on
either my Puch or my faster Tomos and given chase but he always disappears.
I've also ridden the streets around my home (showing the flag, as it were) in
hopes of flushing him, but no luck. I said that it was a long shot, maybe it's
a ghost rider :)
And before it is suggested that I chase in a car I don't (by choice) have one.
Only the two peds, and a TourEasy recumbent bicycle, and a mountain bike. Oh,
and a home built box trailer based on a old (70's) Cannondale 2 child
rear-facing bicycle trailer. The fiberglass seat had long rotted away and the
frame was just sitting in a corner of the shed when I thought Hey! I could put
that to use again, and did. I pull it behind any of my two wheeled bikes (gas
or human powered) when I go shopping. Which leads into my next question.
Does anyone know the legality of pulling a *BICYCLE* trailer behind a *MOPED*
(motorized bicycle by the laws terms). Here in CA you pay a small one-time fee
to register a ped and you get a license plate to attach to the ped that is
good forever. Now I know that with motorcycles and the trailers that they pull
you have to pay a yearly fee, and the trailer has to have lights and it's own
plate. Bicycle trailers have no such requirements. This one doesn't have a
plate or lights (I will be adding turn signals, brake and running lights once
I figure out how). There doesn't seem to be a legal description of a moped
trailer, just motorcycle or bicycle ones. The police around here (who are
quite familar with me) don't seem to know, and don't want to deal with it :) I
don't think that DMV really knows either. So far I haven't had any problems,
I'm just wondering if I'm breaking any laws :)
Maybe I'm plowing new ground here? Or has anyone else any experinces with this
setup in their state or country?
Thanks and regards,
Kris Alfjordsson

I'm currently discussing the status of "motorized bicycles" with DMV in
Sacramento. I wrote them a letter trying to clarify the insurance and
license requirements and it's been real interesting. To cut to the chase,
I'm waiting for a call back on Monday to see if I can get reliable
information. I'll post more when I'm comfortable that I have accurate
information. Meanwhile, if you are interested, email me privately and I'll
send you the contact information I have. The folks at DMV are pleasant and
helpful, but simply are unclear on what the law says and means. You'll
really confuse them with questions about moped trailers.

From: "Paul"
Here's some input from the Great White North. Although not exactly beyond
the Arctic Circle, we have fairly cold weather in Toronto, from about
mid-October to late April. Of the relatively few moped owners left (we all
seem to know one another) quite a few use their 'ped all year around, except
when the pavement is icy. There isn't much to it - engines will always
start, provided; a/ there is no water in the gasoline
b/ you use the right type of oil to mix the gas with, and
c/ you apply the right mixture ratio.
d/ only use regular gas and stay away from "winter gas"; that's garbage for
mopeds.
e/ use the right heatrange spark plug; we have found the NGK BR6HS to be the
best in under all weather conditions
I can wholeheartedly recommend the RedLine 100% synthetic "Smokeless"
2-stroke oil that we have found of absolutely superior to all others. Any
bike will run with it on 50:1 (2%) regardless what the original manual says.
It also has a special additive that compensates for the absence of lead in
the gasoline (which is an octane stabiliser and as such very good for
precise preignition timing).
Store the moped inside (the room doesn't have to be heated) that's all.
And dress warm (long johns, lots of leather, etc.).

But I'm curious if this works - riding the moped until the first snowflake

And ofcouse I use syntetic oil... the best there is!
And besides, taking the bus takes to much time.
