Hi i changed the mastercylinder and pipe.

Hi Got no pressure after mastercylinder change tried different ways but no joy please advise. Slim

I hope not otherwise i'd have to wear a box.

The problem i have relates to the brake operating arm that the cable fits to on the rear drum/ hub.The arm seems to be touching the rear sprocket,the arm is straight on my 1980 349 montesa but on my friends 1985 montesa 348 it's angled.Have i got the wrong part for this bike . Slim

Hi been lucky lately with bits fitting ok but have a slight clearence issue with chain and rear brake parts there doesn't seem to be enough of a gap, any ideas chaps, Simon

Hi the more i strip my Cota the more i find wrong with the bike, i've got more knackered bits than good bits at the moment.When someone gives you advice about not letting your heart make descisions listen to them it will save a small fortune.I now have to toss a coin wether i carry on or call it a day and break the pile of b####x.

Hi found out a few more interesting faults with my monty over the last week but got the shock of my life when i took the flywheel off to find no woodruff key or condensor so no wonder the bugger woudln't start, so does anyone know where i can get new woodruff keys from.

Yep saw those i bid on the last pair but got outbid at

Hi really struggling to find a pair of bars so if you can help i would be gratful, slim.

Hi does anyone know if the engine steady bars are the same from any model and if there is anywhere i can get a set from as i have run out of places to look.slim

so i take it no-one has changed from an Amal carb to something else then ok has anyone used a mikuni carb or a kiehin carb on a 349 ssdt.

Hi does anyone have an idea of what carb upgrade i can use on my 349 cota as the standard Amal carb seem to have a bad rap.I have seen an ad for a mikuni carb for a montesa but have no idea of the serial number or part number.

Found out today bike is a 1980 model, its got a Bultaco silencer moto x bars but it's a good base for a mudplugger.

the carb is an Amal item is there an up-grade and what carb do i use.Also there seems tobe a lack of any chain guide or tensioner it sounds like an old moto x er when pushed

Hi does anyone know if the two head stay tubes are vital or is it possible to have a single tube on the engine at one time, also i have a problem with the choke lever on the amal carb it won,t stay open, it works if i hold it open but it's an a*** to kick at the same time.slim
