Puch moped PMECP22 hi-torque cylinder cover or cylinder head for 1.5HP or 2HP versions of the 1 speed E50 moped engine and 2 speed ZA50 engine. 349.3.10.401.1. (1 speed E50 crankcase part 22.) Color is silver, not black.

Used 1 speed E50 engine or 2 speed ZA50 engine cylinder or piston part from a 1978 Puch Maxi Luxe moped with an odometer reading of 2,808.5 miles.  This part has a plain metal color.  It was probably once painted black and, except for some remaining black paint on some of the fins, it is now a plain metal color.  This is the stronger, hi-torque cylinder cover, part 22, not the weaker, plain cylinder cover, part 4.  This part is for a 1.5HP or 2HP Puch engine and Puch moped, not a weaker 1HP version of the Puch engine and moped.  The top 2 of 8 fins on the right side are chipped a little and top right fin is bent a little.  This damage is very minimal and I don't believe it will affect the air cooled heat sink capability of the cylinder cover.  The dual ring flat surface that connects this cylinder cover to a cylinder looks good.  The indented interior or rear side of the engine cylinder cover is the part of the engine combustion chamber and it is caked with carbon (from previous internal combustion in the previous puch moped engine) and the carbon should ideally be carefully cleaned out before using this part.  This part is labeled Puch and has a top arrow on the interior or rear side so you know which side is the top side.  The spark plug threads look good.  Sold "as is".

Puch Moped Info: Moped army provides basic technical info about the Puch Maxi moped, including the 1-speed Puch E50 engine.  The Puch Maxi moped was first built by the Steyr-Daimler-Puch company in 1969.  According to Wikipedia, 1.8 million Puch Maxi mopeds were produced.  Moped army has an extensive gallery of moped pictures.

Puch Moped Parts Compatibility: According to the 1978-1980 Puch Moped Parts Manual, Puch claims that this part will work in the these mopeds:
1978-1980 Puch Maxi Luxe moped (with a 1-speed Puch E50 engine).
1978-1980 Puch Sport MKII moped (with a 2-speed Puch ZA50 engine).
1978-1980 Newport II moped (with a 2-speed Puch ZA50 engine).
     It might fit these and/or similar Puch mopeds built in other years but parts compatibility is not guaranteed and this part is sold "as is" with no refunds.  It probably does not fit a Puch Korado moped or a Puch Hero moped.
     According to the 1978-1980 Puch Moped Parts Manual, Puch claims that this not the correct part for a (presumably 1HP) 1 speed E50 engine moped:
1978-1980 Puch Maxi moped (with a 1-speed Puch E50 engine).
      If you Puch moped is 1.5HP or 2HP, this part will probably fit it.  If your current cylinder cover has 3 round spots (that are tops of cylinders in 3 of the 8 fins) on each side, this part will probably fit your Puch moped engine.  However, product compatibility is not guaranteed, and this part is sold "as is".
