Most likely a Maico MD 50 transplated into a 1970s Maico Frame.




Maico used to build engines for Go-Karts, like the Spit Fire:





This one the engine looks like a transplant (i.e., not maico or maybe some older maico Kart motor) made to look like a  70s maico (or transplated into a 70s maico):

little transplant or not it still looks like a very nice bike but maybe a little strong for 2.5 years old

I had a go cart and my first bike was a Kawasaki KE 100.  I had a minibike before the KE 100 but my dad smashed it with a sledge hammer.

He smashed my minibike not the Kawasaki.  The mini bike had no power, you basically had to walk the thing to get it going.

Ya, no problem, used to getting manuals and putting them up from the older bikes so forgot about that they may not want it listed :)

Why not try the Air Striker carb?

You would have to ask Maico International.  They put Air Striker carbs on the new Maicos, so they should be able to tell the carb and have the jetting specs they used.
