Hi guys Thanks for the help and encouragement The carb is stripped and is i am cleaning it up slowly and carefully and my first bag of bits from Bultaco UK arrived today Just spent some time getting the crud out of the airbox Hopefully I can get it back together at the end of the week and get it started and work out what job is next The rkear tyre has a gash so it looks like i wont be able to wait to sort that out Towbar is being fitted to my car on friday so I can get a rack fitted

Thanks for the link. Shame those are not in the UK would have been perfect. The postage and the import tax and duties will end up costing me twice what the forks would - shame.

Yes apparently that was done in about 1979 - but the standard mounts are still there luckily

I have been thinking of getting one for ages now and after watching a few trials and deciding I am no where near fit enough and that it looks too hard I decided to get one anyway. The bike has been sitting for at least 15 years but I chucked some new fuel line and a fuel filter on it, a new plug and some fresh fuel and started kicking and kicking and phew kicking and sweating and it started - ran for a few seconds and died. Got my breath back and got the same. I am pretty chuffed so far and now need to strip and clean the carb for the next step - float bowl full of treacle but oddly doesnt smell as nasty as old fuel sludge normally smells The plan is to get it sorted mechanically and leave the cosmetics for this year until I know its sorted and so I dont spoil it when I keep falling off. The BIG problem is the forks are shot - obviously not an easy or cheap fix :-( Anyway here she is ...

Hi all I am new to. All this so please excuse what might be an obvious question I have been looking at the Puma in issue 17 of Classic Dirt Bike and noticed that the rear hub appears to have the 'brake' on the right hand side. I have just bought a 325 and would like to convert to a LH shift and thought that seemed a better solution than running a cable to the standard hub. Can anyone tell me more like what the hub is off and how much hassle it might be to fit it. Thanks .... Rob
