  1. Well, finally the old slug gave up. Less and less power. Time for a renew.
  2. Nice job Greeves, just one nit to pick. The kicker is mounted too far forward, you'll kick a hole in the case through to the magneto if you stroke through with it like that. The kicker should be parallel to the frame tube by the carburetor.
  3. It's not an early 123, it's an early "MH" 123. After Honda bought Montesa, they put out "MH" bikes starting in 1980. Are you kidding me? A Corvair in Israel? I'm a 123 guy AND a Corvair guy, both the earlier versions...
  4. They made about 5000 per year from 1976 to 1978. The one with serial 16-- is a '76 and the one with frame mods is a '78. the page that's linked is lifted from 'Montesaweb' but I believe the photos at the top, depicting a '77 Malcolm Rathmell edition are wrong. The MR 348 was in '76 only.
  5. Woody's right, the self adhesive is fine IF you stick it to shiny paint. Don't rough it up first, you'd be reducing contact area with the sticky tape. It's not like when you paint, roughening it up increases contact area when the paint flows into the scratches... that said, silicone will work too... Just do me one favour please, put the tank ON the bike and make the "M" level with the ground. I've seen a lot of them put level with the table that the tank was sitting on when the logo was installed.
  6. Shaun PM me your email, I'll send a song or two...
  7. Hey Charlie, I've been neglecting trials and restoring old things to play music too. I play guitar and sing too...
  8. http://www.montesaweb.com//secciones/modelosanyo.aspx go to EVOLUCI
  9. Some parts are the same, like chain guide parts, forks from later 348s, bars, controls, wheels, many engine parts, but many other engine parts are different. 348s are 305cc 349s are 349cc. Frames on 349s have bottom tubes removed and replaced with alloy bashplate as a stressed member.
  10. It's a 247T, made in about July 1974.
  11. I'm reasonably certain it's a '74. Graphics on the tank are the same for 74-75 but the side cover on the engine changed. Engine/frame numbers would help to confirm.
