I'll start with my standard disclaimer - that I don't have a lot of time to do this sort of thing, but... I have some ability in the German language, and I...
Sadly, about the only thing I can do in German is cuss, and I probably botch that up too. But the idea of having someone or a group of individuals translate an...
I suspect an M72 manual would be in Russian. I think what Christian is referring to are manuals that he has created from his own experience (correct me if I'm...
Dear Scott, Before you get too involved in your carbs replace the condensor. Bad condensors run well when cold but cut out when they get hot. Good luck Ted ......
Hi Jt, no they are not at all from me. They are from a russian experiance list like this, which exists since years. There is a "put it all together" CD each...

Hi All, Does anyone know if the 6v coils for the M1's are compatible with the BMW's of the r69, r60, and r50 styles? Any suggestion for a source? I was...
Hey Ig, I don't know about the compatibility part, but if it turns out they are compatible, you can use a Sorensen GC88 from Advance Auto Parts. (That's what I...
Original M72 specs state that the sidevalve 746 engine consumes 1.5 liters of oil every 1000km. Since this is the exact same engine that we have in our M1s...

Got a few questions here. My M72 supposedly has a 26HP motor from a Dnepr K750. I replaced the old carbs with new Chinese carbs. The old carbs that came on the...
