  1. by the way I have the correct wiring diagrams and location charts but once again am hoping for some actual pics of the lighting harnesses. Paul
  2. Hi lineaway. Yes I saw that post on moving the stator wire to the front. My question however was not regarding the stator wire but the lights. I need information on how the harnesses should be routed between the switch and the headlight, the headlight back towards the supply and ground wires, as well as from the rear brake switch and the tail light. I was hoping for someone with a mar with the lights hooked up to send / post a few pics thank You
  3. Hi, I have a newly restored Ossa Mar that has not yet had the lighting harnesses made up and installed. I am looking for a few good pictures of how the harness are routed e.g. between the switch and the headlight, the headlight back towards the supply and ground wires, as well as from the rear brake switch and the tail light. If anyone has a MAR where these harnesses have been properly set up I would sure appreaciate a pic of them so I can know how to fabricate / install my own. thank you kindly. Paul Wells ps I have attached a picture of my bike. By the way I have the tail light, handlebar switch and brake light switch. They're just not hooked up yet. thanks again.. Paul
  4. all, here are some pics I took of the carb. Let me know if anyone recognizes it. btw there are no markings on the side of the carb whatsoever except for "mikuni" in reference to the statement "the parts aren't interchangeable" are you saying that I can't mix and match needles and needle jets (couldn't I just buy both) or that needle / needle jet combos (matched pairs) won't work in different carb bodies? thanks again
  5. Feetupfun, the carb is once again a 26mm vm flange mount...origin unknown, with a 150 main and a 35 pilot. I can find no other markings on the carb. I could I suppose find a number on the slide if that would help. Let me know. I could also send some pictures of the unit. In any case I am once again assuming that a needle and needle jet combo from any of the japanese tirals 250s will close. I did speak with a company I heard of on this message board called B & J racing products in the states who sell bolt on oem vintage trials carbys. A gentleman at this company told me he could sell me the proper needle and needle jet combo but declined to comment on the spec of said items. I am holding off on this route until I am comfortable that I know the correct part for the job rather than relying upon someone's word alone. Regarding the belief that a carby from a bul sherpa t will work with an ossa mar I have heard the same although I did read somewhere..not sure where...that an ossa requires a slightly larger main jet than a sherpa t e.g. 160 vs 150. In any case thank you so much for your time and assistance.
  6. Thanks gents, Guess what? I received the bike yesterday there was no needle in the carby...lol!I was able to take a wild guess and put one in just to make sure the bike runs which it did. Now what I need to know now is specifically nwhich needle and needle jet combo to use with a 150 main and 35 pilot? There are so many choices and even the documentation I have seen seems to vary considerably. The carby is a 26mm vm with a main jet of 140 which I just changed to a 150. Will change the pilot as recommended today. Dissapointingly, in addition to the missing needle the bike has a completely stripped kick start knuckle, rusted cables, and flat rear tire. These are minor items and I wouldn't mention them except for the fact that the seller's advert read "starts first kick / new cables" he also said he rode it three weeks ago. hmmm...I don't think so. Live and learn as they say...the good news is I now have a mar and it is certainly is a beautiful bike for it's time in terms of it's simplicity and lines. looking forward to a reply on the needle. Cheers Lizzy
  7. Hello all, I am new to this forum. I just purchased a 1971Ossa Mar from an individual who lives in denver colorado at a very high altitude. He has a mikuni on the bike. I live in sacramento California at sea level and occaisionally ride at around 2 thousand feet. My question is do I need to rejet the mikiuni to run richer e.g. needle position, main jet size, etc or can I leave it. What I don't want is for the bike to run too lean. Sorry but I don't know the model of the carby yet as the bike is still on the way. In any case your help is greatly appreciated. Sincerely Paul and Donna
