Sure, I will take some before I assemble everything. It's really a simple design not much to go wrong. I will post some pictures by Friday.

My 94/95? 250 Maico had a compression release, no idea why cos it is a doddle to kick over, even with the kickstart on the wrong side.
Although I never did anything with it myself I gave it to a mate and he fixed it up quite a bit.
These pice where from when I had it.

I too back in the good ol days had a Yamaha with a compression release. I used it as a brake. I was young and foolish, I never thought about using the compression release to help make it easier to start. :-D
