Thanks

Got it fixed. It is a motoplat. Turned out to be the sparkplug. The one I was using must have fouled so I put in a new plug but that one must have been bad. Tried a plug from my CR and it sparked so tried a different plug and it started. Wierd

Ran fine on sat. Sun nothing.

What size are you looking for? How about a 400?

I would love to have a copy. Could also use the clutch plates. Anybody know where to get gaskets as in clutch cover, head and base. Also the kickstarter sticks at the bottom of the travel but will return with a little nudge, any ideas of the problem, possible fix? Chris Glanz P.O. Box 1611 Discovery Bay CA. 94514  Thanks Chris

I don't think it's too hard to work on if I had a manual but I havent been able to find one. Someone mentioned porting to run with with the Maico's in the class but that is beyond my mechanical skills.I love the looks and the bike is really clean and runs great just not as fast as the competition. I love being the odd man out on a line of clones but starting from the back isnt always fun. Passing is roost isnt. Finding someone in No Ca who knows about these has been tough, and if they do they have not offered any help.

The clutch seems to slip only a little.Could it be the synthetic oil? Honey lake was fun, one of the best tracks around. Finished second in the first moto and had back to back moto's for second round and they started without me but wound up fifth in the second moto. To bad because I felt really good. Sound like fun for the Post vintage stuff but I'm trying to get up there for Washougal the next weekend. I really only do the vintage stuff a couple times a year. Would love to have somebody that knows these bikes look at it. I cant seem to find any parts and I dont have a manual. Probably going to sell and buy a Honda. Chris  Anybody want a really clean KTM400?

Is it worth that much? How much would a really nice 78 400 MC5 be worth?

Try trailboss tours. They are listed in Dirt Rider and Cycle News.Chris & Nancy do a great job of providing a great trip.

I would like a set of side panel decals for a 78 400. Just let me know a price.

Any idea where to find an air filter for a 78 KTM 400 MC5?

Ran great one day, dead the next. Was told it was the motoplat ign. No spark. Anyone have an ignition for a 78 KTM 400. Thanks 925-516-2850 or [email protected]

Will forks from a newer ktm fit on a 78? How about an aluminum swingarm  from a 79? any ideas? Anyone have these parts if they will fit?

Would anyone know where to get a set of clutch plates for a 78 KTM 400?  I wonder how competitive this will be against the Maico's. Anyone going to Honey Lake?
