Great, thanks for your replies. On with the painting.

Hello all experts, Does anyone know the paint code (RAL/BS?) for Montesa Red? It's for my 1984 MH123. Thanks for any help. Ash

Thanks very much, 50:1 it is then. Does anyone know the correct jetting for this? It has a Mark 2 Amal carb with standard airbox and filter. Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm hoping that some of the experts can help! I have an MH123 frame with a 200 engine fitted. The engine number starts with 29H. The only reference to 200 engines I can find is 29M. Does anyone know what my 29H motor actually is? I have a Cota 200 (not MH200) owners manual that states for Castrol TT (which I use) the ratio is 4% (25:1). I have seen posts on here that state 40:1, 50:1 and even 80:1. Does anyone know the definitive answer to the petrol/oil ratio? Mine does smoke a lot!! Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you Ash

Hello to everyone out there. My name is Ash and I hail from the beautiful area of Exmoor in the South West of England. After learning to ride (some 35 years ago - aged 10) on my cousins Cota 349 at the Beggars Roost trial, I recently decided to get my own bike. I have had a Fantic 240 Pro a few years ago but am now the proud owner of a MH123 with a MH200 engine fitted. Only bought today and collecting later in the week. Road registered with tax and MOT and can't wait to get going. I hope to fit a light kit sometime so I don't get stuck when I am out having fun! I want to get into some classic trials, is there any locally to me anymore? My cousin and his dad (Clive Mills of Romatt Engineering and 60's trialling fame for those that new him) always did the Beggars Roost trial and was a big family get together as they lived in London and we always met up every Easter if I remember correctly. Great days! I fully intend to restore the bike so any help given over the coming weeks (months/years) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and best wishes Ash
