Default Vintage Moped

In a fit of nostalgia I bought a 1974 Puch Maxi moped on ebay. £200, 3000 miles from new, wonderful condition.....I know it's pathetic but it was the first bike I ever owned (except in 1974 it cost me £125 brand new including insurance and a helmet!)

Anyway as it hasn't run on the road since 1988 what would be your collective opinion on using unleaded fuel.would it be safe enough to assume that it was converted? I seem to recall that it was a modification to timing that was necessary at the time?

Took it for a quick buzz tonight (literally!!).brilliant!! Clouds of blue smoke 'til it warmed up but a weird feeling perched upright in the breeze!!

£14 a year fully comp, class 1 business use and 15 road tax and 170 mpg.......cheap fun or what!!
