Completely rebuilt, first run up. Left hand kick start when with the modified decompressor needed the boots... Ankle breaker!

I had a '71 Maico 400. It sounded almost as sweet as 0:48 your 490 . I still feel the vibration on my right hand!

Did you do the work yourself? I have one but it stopped running I think my ignition went bad it’s a stock moto plat
@Birky_41 Ай бұрын
Yes majority of the work done between my dad and I. The engine running and setup done by Moreland Moto Shack in Essex. Ignitions we had our fair share of issues initially with a weak spark or burning out. Found just running an original was the best thing which can be hard to source

It should not tick over like that. Lol
@Birky_41 10 ай бұрын
Too fast I know. It was first start and first Maico. I've had a fair few since with the latest two both being the reed valve versions. Neither tick over but are great when racing on track
