Hi, just bought an early 90's maico

Postby DINGLE » Sun Jun 21, 2009 1:01 am

I've just bought a maico 500 liquid cooled, believed to be 91/92, I don't know much about these and would appreciate any info about common problems, and things to check for, it's not running right at the moment as it was standing for a long while, I've had it running but it's still won't start very easily, what's the recommended 2 stroke mix for these as it seems to be gumming the plug, any advice or comments appreciated thanks
