    I have a 1980 Maxim and Seca, both 650s. The Seca has a auto-tensioner in it, the Maxim a manual. The Manual tensioner is toast. Can I use the auto-tensioner from the Seca?

    Should go right on.
    The Gasket is simple to make.
    Strip the Auto-Tensioner right down and Clean it.
    Seal the Body and Gasket
    Let dry.
    Assemble the Springs and End-Hex once the Body is dried.
