Steve, I will definitely stop and talk to any other Maico riders I see. We will most likely go again in 2 weeks. I ride with my friend who has a new Yamaha...
How much suspension travel does a stock '79 MC440 have? Is the '78 the same? I still have not gotten my 38mm Mikuni jetting sorted out. I am getting close but...
Brian, Sounds like you are trying to jet an engine that has an air leak. You have to use richer jets than normal to compensate for the extra air being sucked...
I thought that too Rick, but I did the old ether/carb cleaner trick and didnt find anything. To do it right I would have to do a proper leak down test like you...
