Bought a 1978 Puch Maxi with this already added to it. Uses a Mikuni VM18 with a "BLACK BOSS" performance pipe. Attached to a E50. This combo lets me get about 40mph on a good day!

Well Made Kit

The quality of this kit is outstanding. Everything went together as it should. I am on my second heat cycle and it is already quieting down. I used both gaskets, blocked the decompression hole with 6 mm studs, lapped the cylinder and head to make a good seal, running it with a 14 Bing and stock like oversized exhaust. Daily ride.

Totally rips with the right setup. I hit 46mph on flat... I'm 5'10 180..77 Puch maxi ; super stuffy crank, treats custom metrakit super street cylinder head,19mm dellorto clone carb, 86 main jet, w7 needle; Tecno boss pipe; three shoe clutch with eso springs turned 3 in from Flush. 18x45 gearing. Connecticut June 2020 weather.
Have a estoril sidebleed on it now (aug 2020), pulls harder all the way. Really woke this kit up compared to the boss. I use the endbleed with the smallest hole also.

Ran great in the 90's heat at the Detroit rally, Monday, a cool 70 degree evening, heard a sound, like the ring going, then lost power, going downhill.....Found ring broken, and piston and cylinder with deep craters at the exhaust port.....I am thinking of buying a different kit, next time.....

The ring bosses are drilled 180deg. off so there is nothing stopping them from falling out inside the piston and if you look close the nubs that hold the bosses in are 180deg off...other than that it is a great kit...
edit treats : maybe you got it somewhere else? the ones we are selling have the correct piston in them. If you did get it from us, just email and we will take care of you! EDIT: The new Metrakit pistons are actually correct and have the top dykes L ring like the "OG" kit came with...
