Hi Bruce, it is SAE 75W. Pics of the container attached, I know of some people in Oz that swear by the stuff for their modern GG's, maybe different type clutches between GG and Beta but sounds like it's worth a shot, should still work a treat.
Hi Tiggs, read this on Trials Australia, I'm feeling your pain. Just thought that Trials Central people should know that Bray Park, Queensland is in Australia.
Hi Carl as I suspected all the jets are wrong to what you're saying, when you say 26mm what is that measurement I.m measuring the internal of carb engine side and got 28mm and it fits in rubber manifold easy but tightens up well as very flexible rubber.perhaps I could get some jets and experiment now you given me something to work off once Ive ridden it with the Bing carb it starting 1st or 2nd kick now just will see how it rides..
Cheers Adam.
Maybe just see if you can get the bits to re-furb the 28mm Bing, they do work well when not worn, have a look here.....http://bingcarburetor.com/index.html
Too many variations on Mikunis over the years and they all use different types of jets, yours looks like it could be a VM26-8074 or VM28-49, but who knows for sure?
Hi new to he fold just bought a Bultaco 350 Sherpa 199A from a friend, it 95% complete lots of new parts including a fresh out the box Mikuni that needs settings altering bike runs and ticks over but when you open throttle 1st quarter bogs down 2nd quarter power is there last half bogs down and will cut out if you hold open. Thanks Adam.
Hi Adam, I'm of little help here, but you'll need to be more specific with your type of Mikuni to get some replies I think. Is it a round slide VM 26 or 28mm for starters, even then there is variations of these models. A picture of your carb would help also. Cheers.
Very doubtful the seat is MK2, but willing to listen to why it could be. That seat came off my own MAR that is built in October 1972. Could the original owner have replaced his original seat, possibly. I got my MAR from the original owner and a longtime friend. He made no mention of changing it.
I just thought that the mk 1 had a different pattern on top of the seat and didn't have the side strips like this brochure shot shows, it's quite possible that only the very first mk 1's (1972) had this type of seat and later mk 1's (1973) wore the mk 2 style seat. I don't know for sure, either way your buddies MAR looks stunning and I would be proud to have something like that parked in my garage.
With regards to engine weight, surely you have access to bathroom scales ? Just weigh yourself holding that big lump of motor and then weigh yourself again without motor, hey presto you now have your answer.
Hello people, can anyone help me locate a kick start lever to suit the knuckle that uses a circlip, it's for a Jumbo but I think any kick start lever for a TL trials bike will fit. Cheers.
PS: I've attempted to ask in "classifieds" but I don't get any options to let me write a wanted post, in fact I get no options at all. Any clues as to what is happening there ?
Hi Glen, part # 3360.031 and part # 5160.031 are the same I believe, and are the barrel to head studs. On my 349 (5160.031) they are M8 (1.25 pitch) x 60mm, they have about 20/21mm thread either end with about 18mm non threaded shank. Pretty sure this will be correct because 21 = Cota 247, 33= Capra, 51= 348/349, so just a common part used between models over the years that didn't change dimensions. Hope this makes some sense.
Attached is a couple of pics of my Cota 349/4 yokes which are the same as MH 349, please note that my bottom yoke is not original and doesn't use a nut and bolt as per original, it uses a bolt into thread. I had this made for me years ago due to original being cracked. Can you post some pictures of your front wheel and hub setup please, very curious to see what some monkey has done to you, those binding marks in your stanchions indicate something is wrong.
Hi badgersheid, as mentioned in another post elsewhere on this site, 170mm is what you are looking for in the yokes, I've managed to get a pic of my 349/4 with a ruler across the top, I've also got a Cota 350 in pieces which is also 170mm.
They are all basically the same whether it be MH 349, Cota 349/4, Cota 350. IE: 170mm centre to centre. I'd be curious to see a pic of your front wheel/hub set up to see what's installed.
