A 199B same displacement, rebuild still going on, the bike had stood around 15-20 years
forgotten in a garage. They could not tell me for how long time. "It always stood there
as I could remember" was the answer from the seller when I asked.

PJ1 Satin Finish exhaust spray is the best ive ever used. Nice durable finish and it isn't any more expensive than anything else.
hi mate im from wigan but live in liverpool now. so were would be the best place to get pj1 from ive had a look on ebay but only seem to do the matt black. how many coats did you give the exhaust? ive just finished retoring a bult i used granvil engin paint on the exhaust but came off at the front. were do you go on your bike? ive just come back from a trials holiday in cornwall im new to trials not done it for years cheers chris
hi i have two bultacos twin shock both 350 sherpas. im thinking about doing adeal with some one both my bikes pluss some cash not as much as id like. for a gas gas 300 rega o5 same as yours i myself have just got back into trials i want a modan bike but need some addvice ive allways been into the older trials this is because these was the only bikes around when i was a teenager. but now ive seen what the new bikes can do ive warmed to them so do you think id be beter with a modan bike?
did you go to muddy banks, whats it like there? i have a beta and gasser both 270's both very powerful bikes but only as much as you want to grab with your right hand. i think a 250 would have suited me better, but hey, i just point and hang on and clean me self up afterwards. ha ha
Tom,

If your pilot screw isn't doing anything then I'd suspect something blocking the pilot circuit. Be sure to blow air backwards to try and dislodge any foreign matter that might have crept in.
Did you check to see if the float level is too high?
cheers,
Michael
hi michael no i havant checked the flot what ham i looking for i mean how do i see if it not set right? if it is the flot would that give me problems with the air screw? because when i turn it out even all the way out wich should make the fuel leaner it dosant just stays the same and is smoky ive put new pilot jet in only because the other was the wrong size all the rest are ok and i replaced the fillter because it was really dirty prayed the fillter with pj1 still the same the bike runs well till the plug gets oild up and dies im puting the right oil in so its not that 50 to 1 and im useing casrol scooter 1 2 scroke oil dosant say on the lable if its semi or full so looked on he net it says its a semi so cant be that ive got a bing carb on my other bult so when i get time ill try it see if it makes any diffrance cheers

When Bultaco was still in business, there was a special synthetic two stroke oil under the brand name Bultaco available, it was made specially for Bultaco. With this oil you could run the engine for trial purpose with 1:100.
The manufactor of this oil was OPTIMOL in Munic, they made 200ml bottles with a scale on the side for every 5l gasoline.
Sadly Optimol has been bought by some US guys already decades ago, they still manufacture the oil but don't sell it here, the manufactors name: Interlube International
The Opti oil has some special treatments compared to other two stroke oils: Technical ...
With a good sysnthetic two stroke oil from Castrol, Motul(France) or MOTOREX (Switzerland) and premium gas something between 1:60 up to 1:75 will also work,
(I use 1:75 now, sadly my last bottles of Bultaco two stroke oil had been used with my Beta TR34 in 1987).
Benefit of less oil, less carbon, less clogging up the exhaust system.
hello guys can anybody give me addvice the best way to strap my bultaco on aa dave cooper rack? had a go yesterday but gave up. ive got 4 new straps so if you could help me id be greatfull
Any semi-synthetic two stroke oil at 50 - 1 ( thats 100ml of oil per 5 litres of fuel) ...... How many times do you need telling Chris
hi keith i know im hard work. i did get some semi-synthetice just worrid becaues it dosant smoke as much as this other bultaco ive just got witch probley as fully synthetice in.
Mine is at 2 threads showing on the Clutch Springs then a couple of mm free play at the operating arm, works a treat. If you dismantle the clutch make sure that all the plates are facing the same direction, if you run your finger on the inside edge you will feel a sharp edge and a rounded edge, fit the assembly either way but make sure the plates are all the same way.
hello guys ive just got anougher bultaco 199A kicks up first time runs well thing is the clutch is draging once shes warmed up its ok. i took the clutch ajuster screw off. and the clutch plate nunts or ajusted right to the end do you think they need nipping up or would it be the grub scerw that wants ajusting?
