Its an M-80, you think it would be better to wait for right frame, I didnt see the basket case listed, some parts could be usefull for my restore, Cheers, Myson

WOW! your on the ball mate, your right, no frame number. Do you think

Thanks Wayne, here is another one what about a 1971 sherpa frame compared to a 1971 alpina? Same geometry, steering angle etc. they look exactly the same to me, Myson

Hi are there any major differences between M-49 and M-80 frames? Cheers

Cheers. I will give it a go. Myson

Hi, I have been told that you can run an M-80 250 with a 626, could it run ok on a 625 as I have a good on in my garage. What are the main differences between them ,625 has a cold start lever not a tickler so it may be a model 1.5, Cheers

Thanks for all of your help, I will get new carb as advised myson

Thanks for reply, I cant find a 625 but the 626 should be ok I think, is

Hi I have changed this post as I have located a Mk2 26mm carb, will it fit M 80? Cheers

Is that next to the footrest mounting? Cheers

Hi, need advice on replacement carb for M-80 sherpa. Would an amal Mk2 be suitable and any ideas on jetting, also can you get an adaptor for flange as Mk2 is just a circular fitting? Cheers, Myson

I have actually, good idea, thanks again

Good spot, I will check frame again, thanks, the info is great, Myson

thanks for all your help,Iwill stamp frame in correct place, Myson

hHi this is exaxtr engine number M-8001227 do I need diferenrt prefix fdor frame

Thanks, do you think everything looks right on frame, not a bodge job replacing headstock, should frame No be same as engine No or different prefix? Once again what a forum this is !! Myson

Hi I have stripped all paint off headstock, original machining marks still on it (from turning) no sign of any number, did they put numbers anywhere else on frames? I have attached pics of head stock. Any comments welcome http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz27/myson/headstock/

Thanks guys I will give it a more thorough check, If I wanted to register this bike for road use (UK) any ideas what I would need to do? Cheers

Hi, I have scraped all paint off headstock and cannot find a frame number. The heabstck looks like a different material from rest of frame and it didnt have original silver paint(frame has been painted a horrible colour over original) Could frame be more recent than engine, it looks like M-80 and has slimline tank seat unit. Could it have been altered? See link for photos Cheers http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz27/myson/

Thanks Sunny, I can get good idea of what I need to do now, this forum is superb! Myson

Good advice. thanks. good little project for my son(fab/welder and good with tig on ally) will let you know hw it goes. Thanks again. Myson

Thanks to all, are the two plates available as seperate parts as mine are missing? Myson

Hi Greeves thanks for help, similar to that with single lug at front slotted for bolting to frame, does the filter just sit in there or is there a frame inside? Cheers, Myson

Hi, just took seat/tank unit off and no air filter fitted. what filter and do I need extra bits to locate/hold the filter? Also found engine no. but where is frame No? Cheers

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it, what a brilliant forum this is, everyone is keen to help. I will keep asking questions and posting photos as I work on it. Had it fired up but its a bit ropey, had to put in a new plug (NGK BP5ES) think this is ok, then had to bump her. Just remembered how hard neutral is to find with engine running. Looks like carb is choked up with 2 stroke oil and petrol mix is heavy on oil. What is good oil and ratio for it? Cheers Myson
