Bultaco

Just spotted this on ebay 340 Bulto For all those observant ones amongst us, its a Mono. Now I think this one may have originated from down in the Wessex centre, as I can remember a local rider who did the conversion using a Fornales air shock from the first model JCM. The bike was tested in TMX by Martin Strang, Geoff Parken and Nibs Kellet. Unless anyone knows different Martin

Hi all Just picked up a sherpa model 80 with a sammy miller replica frame, needs quite a bit of work and is going to be a long term project I think. One of the worse bits is the threads on the barrel where the exhaust screws in are gone, can these be repaired? cheers

Seen this on e-bay tonight.Anyone recognise the frame? Very neat looking alloy plate sub-frame. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...bayphotohosting

Can someone please help me here before i go out of my mind.......I've taken the clutch plates out, cleaned them and roughed the surface and have replaced them, checked the springs and cups and replaced them aswell, can someone please tell me the steps to setting the clutch, i've had a go and got no-where. Many Thanks

Finally got the proper seat to match

Has anyone got an Amal Mk2 for a 158 75/76 sherpa T 250 lying around ? ( long shot ) or know of anyone thats converted to a Bing or Mikuni and know what jet sizes needle pos etc and what type of carb was used ? or cheers

Still having trouble starting my 76 sherpa T tried an extra fuel filter pulled the carby apart again and cleaned it all out seems to run okay but I think it floods way too easy the float and inlet valve thing is all clean and in good condition but its still really hard to start oh and the spark is really good tried new plugs also is there a differant carby you can get to work other than the Amal carb ? if so whats the brand size and spec's ?? also after taking the plug out and clearing it ive also tried the tipping it over to the side trick and it still is a bugger to start any help would be great cheers

Hi all ,anybody tried a Oko carb on a bultaco sherpa yet ? Just spotted them on fleebay click ....Here

Hi all, A friend of mine just offered me a Bultaco Sherpa 350T It's a 74 / 75 Model In Red and Silver. He stripped it several years ago and rebored the cylinder, painted the frame and other bits but there it has sat in boxes since. As far as I can tell the only major item missing is a seat. It's being offered at

I have a 1980 Sherpa 199a which I have just partially restored. i.e. frame, brakes, rebore, new carb, repaint etc etc. (Trying to relive my youth according to the wife- rode a DOT in the 60's and a slimline Bultaco 325 in the early 70's) Up until yesterday it was running sweetly. Then a misfire developed which gradually worsened with backfiring etc. Checked spark seemed fine but changed plug...... no improvement. Bike starts no bother but misfires as soon as I ride it. Checked wiring and cleaned earth connections...... No better. Waiting for a condenser from Dave R so haven't been able to try that yet. Decided to check timing and points. Points had closed down a l…

does anyone have any experience of dave renhams electronic ignitions ? are they reliable ? are they worth the money ?

Hi I am restoring my 73 Bultaco Sherpa 250, and need new rear shocks. Looking around NJB, Betor and Falcon all supply shocks that will do. The setup and rebuildability of the Falcon shocks appeals, but realistically for me, possibly an unneccesary expense. Does anyone have any advice or opinions on which shock would give the best performance and value for money. Regards

ANYBODY INTERESTED THERES A BULLY 199B ON FLEEBAY ,BUT ONLY WITH 5 SPEED BOX ...HERE

Hi All What is the difference between a bultaco Sherpa 198a and a 199a Thanks in advance egsmyth

I haven't got round to getting a manual for my Sherpa yet and I need new fork seals so I am going to do a fork strip and re-build.How much oil do I put back in?

Thought you Bultaco Twin shock guys would enjoy this poster from 1973.I had this signed years back by Martin at a US WR.JR
