    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The tank emblem looks something like one from Bennelli. Rebadged for Sears?
 
This bike is labelled as a 1961 Puch 250cc. Some details are the same as in Chucks', others not, and yes it looks Puchy.

Sears used a few manufacturers under the " Allstate " brand and Puch was one of them. Below is a picture of 1965 Sears Allstate Puch........

 
I think the minimum legal requirement is for one mirror on the left.

LOL...sure...post a friends cycle up here for sale, then say "actually, I want it".

All kidding aside, there's two things to note about this cycle-
A} "Sears" never made anything with it's name on it {kenmore too}...except for maybe for craftsman, and we all know how that just recently changed. {ugh}
B} she's kind of got a unique charm to her...screams old school/one of a kind.
C} ...how on earth would ya "cafe" that?!

{btw- you ever fix that tank cap seal?}
 
No its still a little cracked..isnt seeping but I sure would like a source for buying just the seals. I will get to it eventually...maybe..I hope.
 
Cap- {Remind me to snap a pic of my old one....if it's better than yours you can just pay the cost of shipping...if you'd want it}

As for the cycle - I'd say buy it {a tad cheaper would be better though}, but like any other two stroke out there, your main worry is crank seals being good...sitting or not. A leak down test would help to know the up front condition, but even if she's ok now, they can go bad from use and burn the cylinder{s} down - found that out the hard way on my old ski-doo T'NT.
Add- is that a premix or injected bike? {I'd lean towards the 1st of the two, at a guess}.
 
Not yet.....holding back as I may have a deal on an other GS. The Allstate parts are super hard to find from what ive been searching...such as carb parts being the biggest one.
