I did have a Lister D shaft drive version that a had for a lot of years sold it as i was going to move abroad but now after Covid & Brexit that is not going to happen . The engine i am looking for is a Wolseley WD 1 or 2 ? smooth hopper version for next years rally season

Hi Bob, welcome aboard.

Hello and welcome!

I have been toying with the idea of an old moped project, prices seem to have gone up a bit since I paid £8 for a 1970 Puch Maxi...

Hi and  to the forum

Hello Bob, am just a few miles from you in Hetton, if you fancy a look my way get in touch, and we can have a good chat over a cuppa, you might be able to sus out why one of my engines has started to play funny so and so`s as it has me puzzled at the moment.

Hi Matt had a few Puch Maxis the last one i had was a 1972 Maxi N the rigid rear suspension model insanely tuned it by spending a fortune on airsal 70cc top end ported it racing crank modified clutch lightened flywheel 21mm carb 18 tooth front sprocket 38 tooth rear . The top speed indicated by GPS was 62 mph but the brakes would not cope with that speed ( they were designed for 28 mph ) . Sensibly i sold it before it went Bang or i had an Accident . Now i have a Honda C90 & a Honda ST50 Dax with a Honda 90 engine in and a 4 speed semi auto gearbox out of a Honda ATC70
