Modifying the standard original Puch Maxi air filter is a
simple job ands results in better performance of your E50
engine. On this page SH Performance shows you exactly how to do this
in 4 steps.
Dismantle the filter using a screwdriver.
At the air suction area, remove the extending suction limiter. You can do this with the help of a cutting tool such as a saw or angle grinder. Sh Performance prefers to do it with a Dremel or a heated knife.
Next, clean the airfilter thorougly and make sure you sand the entire airfilter and don't forget to deburr the edges.
You can replace the original screen filter with a foam filter for maximum suction. You could also simply use the original screen filter or you can use a needle-nosed pliers to remove some mesh layers which results in more air passage.
Before you reassemble (the now modified) standard air filter, make sure you don't overlook any dirt (very important!). Once you're sure it's clean, reassemble the filter.
On the stock Puch Maxi mopeds multiple limiters are often added. One is in the air filter. By modifiying this, your Puch Maxi will have more air passage and can result in a couple of extra km/h. Do note that when you modify it, you should also adjust your carburetor jet since the mixture of fuel & air needs some adjustment.
Next to the extra airflow another nice thing is that your Maxi keeps its original look and you can still use the side covers (meaning less trouble with the police 😃). Modifying it does make your bike a bit louder, but less louder than using a tuning filter (e.g. powerfilter).
