Very cool information about smaller two-stroke engines used in light weight aircraft.

I've heard you have to be careful with certain two-stroke aviation engines on descent, because it's really easy to unwittingly find yourself in a high-rev, throttle-off situation and seize the thing.  That can't be fun at 5,000ft.

Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

I read a little farther and read the one uses dual Bing carbs. I have owned two old bikes (one Can-Am, one KTM) that had Bing's and they were a nightmare to jet at times.
