Hi, This is my first post here and what a great site with loads of information. Earlier this year I bought two Bultacos, M159, and basket case M156. I have gone through all the mechanical parts of the M159, engine tranny, carb, etc so I know I would have a solid bike when I ride it, might end up restoring it rest of the way cosmetically this winter. Learned a lot about the Bultaco working on the M159. So I got the M159 ride ready, and needed something else to work on so I started on the M156 which I planned on doing a full restoration from the start.

Hi Help please I have a sherpa 350 1978 which has the speedo drive missing. It has in its place the speedo spacer from Bultaco uk. I have now got hold of a working speedo drive and wondered if any body can tell me how it fits. Does the drive go up against the swing arm then a spacer between the drive and wheel or does it have a spacer both sides. If any body has a photo that would be great and does anybody have the spacer sizes (with in mm) Thanks

Hi All, This is my first post to this forum. It looks like a great resource. My Name Is Jeff Harkins, I'm a custom knife maker living in Montana. I am also a Gas-Gas dealer for our neck of the woods. I recently got my dream bike a restored 1974 Sherpa T350 #92xx. I haven't had a Bultaco in 30 years so I'm a bit rusty on some things. First, the main problem is it wont start. I rebuilt the Amal 625 carb, all seems to be fine. I Checked the coil and grounding. No BIG blue spark but I could "FEEL" it. Before I attempt anymore checking I have a few questions. 1.

Hi Guys Can anybody help Can anyone measure the voltage that comes out of the lighting coil on a sherpa 350 199 model. I am trying to fit lights and horn for mot and only get 2.4v on the red wire for horn,(6v horn fitted and does not make a noise when wired direct to earth or through switch). tested on a 6v battery and works fine.
