[Montesa Mh123 - Help Needed... :)]

Hey there, I almost completed the restoration of my Montesa MH123 (Frame number MH00047).

I started working on it's engine and found that some parts are missing, in addition to the fact that I have no idea how to adjust the kick starter spindle... had to remove it to replace a broken spring in had, not it needs to be adjusted.. how?

The missing parts I could notice are the plate on the clutch basket, including the rod, where can I get it? is it the same of the Cota 247?

Thank,

Lior.

[Mh123 Engine Parts Source?]

Hi all,

Any recommendations for 1980 MH123 engine parts?

The Cota 123 engine is the same as the MH123?

Any interoperability parts with other engines of other make? (Honda?)

Got some damaged parts to replace...

Thanks!

Lior.

One is missing...

It's not an early 123, it's an early "MH" 123. After Honda bought Montesa, they put out "MH" bikes starting in 1980.

Are you kidding me? A Corvair in Israel? I'm a 123 guy AND a Corvair guy, both the earlier versions...

Thanks for your reply

So I guess my MH123 is a 1980 one... any more info anywhere on those?

A Corvair and a Montesa are rare/none in Israel, no more than one hand is needed to count both

[Just Bought A Montesa 123, Frame Number 00047]

Hi all,

Just bought a Montesa 123 from a friend. The bike was standing as-is for years, it's about time to bring it back to life...

The frame number is MH123-00047, not sure about the year... I assume it's 1972 as the number looks like the very first production batch?

Looks like many parts are not the original parts...

Can anyone tell me more about what I just bought? parts sources etc.?

Thanks!

Lior.
