I have two hotfoot moto manifolds in service & am adding a third one. I would not hesitate to buy one from them. Good quality.

I bought one for my DT400 and wanted to use the original hex head bolts for an original look but the manifold is better suited for the Allen head bolts that are included. They mold the rubber for the small round heads of the Allen bolts. Otherwise good quality repop.

Thanks for the info. Ordered the Hot Foot and a new battery since it was missing. Then we can see what's next.

Just got my bike started on Sunday after a 4 month rest and refit, stored in a heated dry garage. My first try was Saturday. I had to clean the points a second time with worn out 400 wet/dry and card stock. So give em a scratch and try again. Probly do it. Then try another plug and maybe another. Is the plug getting wet? I’m betting the points will do it.

Plug is wet. I will check the points and the kill switch. The guy I bought it from had it for a couple of months trying to find a manifold before giving up. He had the inside of the tank cleaned and coated!!! I bet it hasn't ran in some time. I will be back...thanks for the suggestions.

Checked the kill switch and it is good. Pulled the cover of the engine and a liquid smegma poured out. I think The problem has been found. My impact driver will not remove the flywheel nut. Suggestions?
