Hey Opfer, if you noticed your Maischco fired on the first kick and then it took a bunch of kicks to get it going. What I've found with my Maicos is if, after stalling, the bike doesn't fire up on 1 or 2 kicks I'll prime it with the choke for 1 or 2 kicks and then it will fire right up with a kick or two. The big bores seem to lose their intake charge if they don't don't fire up right away.
