Mike, Thank you. I'll let you know if it works. Best, Jack Carpenter Working Dog Real Estate 28 State Street, Suite 11 Boston, Massachusetts, 02109 Tel.: 617-573-5140 Fax: 617-739-9191 www.WorkingDogRE.com Mailto:jceltic@bellatlantic.com -----Original Message----- From: Mike _____ [mailto:monsterm21@hotmail.com] Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2000 10:44 PM To: moped@topica.com Subject: Re: Starting Up a Puch Maxi there should be 3 levers, 2 silver colored and one black colored on the handlebars. the 2 silver are brakes and the black is a starting lever/clutch. the "correct" starting procedure would be to get on the moped, pull and hold the starting lever, and pedal forwards with the gas petcock in the "on" position and the kill switch on run.(if there is one). hold and pedal until u hear the engine start and now it's started. this is how it SHOULD be. MAKE SURE you use FRESH gas and oil mix. the mix is usually 50:1 in puch's. if you have questions about that too, don't be afraid to ask. also if i were u i would clean out the gas tank with nothin other than, fresh gas, and if gas was left in the tank for 17 years, you got a HUGE problem on your hands most likely. mike >From: "John J.
