    Nice! My twin brother and I both purchased Maico 490s for Enduro in the early 80s. Wow, were they fun .. but very noisy! The first day we bought them we rode and couldn't get up a hill in the woods, the bikes would cut out. Uh, oh. Then we learned about carburetor jetting. New jets in both bikes and these would pull TREES out of the ground. So much power and very lightweight.

    Sounds magnificent, though I see no smoke 😬

    What carburettor are you using there. Is it a PWK?
