Just looking for another couple of missing parts for my 191 rebuild on ebay and found 199 ones.Are the inlet manifold and clutch assembly the same on these two models? If not what are the differences.

Can anyone help me source a new seal holder? as you can see this one is totally shot!! I've never seen one with such a deep insert. Cheers guys

Is it feasible to replace the oil seal behind the gearbox sprocket on a 199 without splitting the engine?

Hello to all - Looking to get a Sherpa to do some AHRMA trials. Any real differences between them besides cradle, swingarm ? Always wanted the blue 199a but seems there are couple nice 199's floating around and I'm a spode newbie on a trials bike. Thanks to all for your help

Hi Chaps Another new owner question... Can anyone enlighten me, what is the problem with the plastic tanks and ethanol?? I'm pretty sure my 78 model 199 has a plastic thank that's been painted by the PO, I attach a pic FYI (can anyone confirm, is it plastic of fiberglass?). Not sure when it was painted, I was told it had not been used for the last 10 years, so I don't think the paint is recent. I have heard about the ethanol issue with paint and decals falling off due to the fumes migrating out. The reason for my question is I noticed a small blister on the tank yesterday had appeared... I did have 10% ethanol gas in there for about a week, but no longer, I can …

I have a blue 199 Sherpa with frame number JB 19902239. It has tubes under the engine and no gusset on the swing arm. It has blue frame, tank and mudguards etc. Can someone confirm whether or not Bultaco released blue frame 199 Sherpas.

Hi all, Does anyone know if you can use the 30mm bearing instead of the 20mm one with the 2 alloy spacers? I was supplied 30mm one with a new Mahle piston and wanted to check it was OK to use before I fit it. Thanks. Mark G

hi all just got a rough 199 to rebuild and am having a nightmare getting the swingarm spindle out .wd40 and a big hammer have just mushroomed the end. am i missing something (brain) or is there a trick to get the bugger out?

Hi, just talking to a friend on the phone and he has a 198 red plastic tank that is leaking around the fuel tap area. I know these are different to the later A and B models which have the two 6mm screws, but we are not sure what the actual tap screws onto, plastic or a metal insert? and he is reluctant to try to over tighten it without knowing what he is dealing with. Thanks Greg

199A few mods been done since this photo

I finally had the 199a out for a ride around the "backyard" section so I thought I would post a few pics.I noticed a few things on it,s first ride.It likes to kick back when trying to start and when trying to skim the front wheel over a log it wanted to deflect off course more than my TY.I think that it could use some new springs because it sags quite a bit on it,s own weight or maybe a better pilot!

Hi all, I just picked up this 79 Bultaco 350, I think it’s a 199a, frame and engine number match, JB 19909070, wondering if number provides any useful info? The bike is in the US. thanks Matt

Is this the correct way to mount the rubber intake boot to the airbox on a 199a? If so,does the flat side of the mounting plate face down,up or to one side? I want it the correct way before I start drilling holes in a new airbox.

Hi all, I,m new to the site and this is my first post.I just picked up a 199A.The air box isn,t stock or really any good.I have re-engineered an old style model 92 ai box to fit.It,s pretty small compared to a stock one and I,m wondering if it will affect performance or jetting? I will probably by a new one when I can afford it as all my mad money went into getting the bike. Thanks in advance and man,what a great site!

Hi. Just got a 199A and the throttle seems very heavy and the carb spring quite strong, stronger than I remember. Does anyone know what the free length of the spring should be, the number of turns and the wire diameter. The old twist grip is knackered. Anyone recommend a fast or slow domino right angle twistgrip and suitable cable. Thanks Tony

hi all just rebilding the bottom and top end off my 199A the bottom end gasket is it wise to put alittel smear of grease on both sides or should i put it on just as it is?
