Classic Trials

When surfing the web and reading some of the posts in this forum, there seems to be a tendency for contributers to return to the thorny issue of machine eligibility for "classic" and/or "pre 65" trials. Being just a little too young to qualify as "pre 65" myself, I was interested to find the programme and the results for the 1965 Hurst Cup trial on the Knock Motorcycle Club web site, and thought I'd share it here (http://www.knockmotorcycleclub.co.uk/ClubHistory/Hurst1965Program.pdf and http://www.knockmotorcycleclub.co.uk/ClubHistory/Hurst1965Results.pdf). "The Hurst" is one of the longest standing trials in Northern Ireland. Having first been held in 1930 it be…

Hello, There is this bultaco on ebay, what do you think about? http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...em=120322859485 Thanks Stefano

Hi This is my first time starting a topic but I've had problems finding bits and pieces for my montesa 349. I was told that the front light is like rocking horse doings to find but after a bit of trawling I've come up with a chap in spain who had a brand new new with also a multitude of other equipment for spanish twin shock trials bikes. He can be found at http://stores.ebay.es/The-Classic-Spanish-Bikes . He goes under the name of frankiemountain. He is very helpful and if you don't see the item your looking for contact him and ask. He'll bend over backwards to help. Well hope this is some good to you all and happy restorations to you.

Does anyone know if the Villiers 33a 250cc cylinder head works okay for trials?. The plug thread is longer than the 32a from what I can tell and the squish band gives higher compression.

General thought is that the Dellorto 22mm is best but surely the 20mm version would be better suited, for the standard 199cc engine,but apparently this is unavailable now. I have searched around and Mikuni do a VM22 set up for the cub amd a VM20. I am tempted to try the 20mm version but there are no base settings for this, has anyone tried the Mikuni on a cub?

Doing the North Berks Sammy Miller round for the first time could anybody tell me if fuel is taken round. Or do you pass the start to refuel seems like a long lap if not .

Hi fellow Fantic fans. I have a Fantic 200 (fm350) and wanted to know how to set the Delourto phb25 carb up right. When people talk about the idle screw being turned out 2 3/4 times are they reffering to the big Idle screw, or the fuel screw next to it. If so what is the best setting for the fuel screw. Also the needle being on the 3rd notch, is that the 3rd notch from the top or the bottom of the needle.
