deputy dawg

thank you for the replies will be able to get it sorted

hi where could i get a year of manufacture for a ossa mar so i can get it road registered. many thanks

yes wire wool was around the perforated pipe and fibre around the outer part

hi feetupfun basically my thoughts were that it is packed for a reason and burning wouldn't remove the wire wool that is in there so you would end up cutting it anyway, plus it would be pretty smokey. cutting it was a lot cleaner.

thank you for the replies much appreciated, well i bit the bullet and took the pipe off and cut it open to clean it out, the packing was smouldering quite a bit by the time i had finished so i was glad i decided to do it. i cleaned it all out and repacked it and welded it back up, and so will have to wait until next weekend for a test run.Im very glad i didn't burn it out

well I've just been out on it and when its up to running temp it smokes excessively, with the engine stopped it smoke for quite a while afterwards, I've taken the plug out and its a nice biscuit colour would a crank seal not foul the plug if it was gone

thank you for the replies, i,ll take it for a run over the weekend and see if it will clear and go from there

Hi all i have a 250 mar that I've restored, i had the engine rebuilt, new carb it fires up easily but it smokes quite badly, running 50.1 fuel, anyone any ideas as where to start?

before i order chain and sprockets, what combination do you guys use 13-64 ? it has the road going gearbox and 18-52 clutch.many thanks

thank you for the replies, much appreciated

Hi all, is there much of a difference between the pvl and electric world ignitions, is one better at plonking down to nothing without stalling etc. many thanks

thank you for the replies, it was the burton clutch i was thinking about so thats answered my question perfectly.

Hi I am going to replace the clutch on my c15, not sure what with either a alloy one, or maybe a belt driven one. has anyone any experience with the belt drive is it worth the extra £££

Sorry for another daft question,but I've nearly finished the rebuild i wish i hadn't started. have just received a new countershaft sprocket which i ordered specifically for it, it has a shoulder on it.( talon TG375 ) The one i have just taken off hasn't so theres not a lot of threads left for the nut soo frustating, can anyone confirm the talon sprocket is correct, and do i need to get another sprocket spacer.

Thank you for the replies much clearer now think i also need to tighten the nuts a little more looking at the picture mine aren't through very far.

Bit of a stupid question, but when you put the nut securing wire on the mar clutch, do you route the wire through all 5 posts or wire them individually

thank you for posting up pic fantic 200, yours look around the same distance as mine do, still tempted to move them forward a little though.

my fantic 200 i have, has had the footrests lowered and moved back, but for me feels very light on the front in certain situations, what distance from the front axle to the centre of the pegs do most people run much appreciated

Hi basket case thank you for the reply, i will probably have it rechromed be a lot easier i think, not sure how durable a ceramic coating would be.

The front pipe i have for my ossa the previous owner has tried to clean off the chrome to paint it, for what ever reason, has anyone here had theres ceramic coated ? if so was it worth doing. A replacement would be a bit expensive Many thanks

Thank you Stan that would explain why it doesn't work then, if theres a bit missing. Many thanks

Thank you for the reply woody, the ball bearing is in there,the cam on the bottom of the actuating arm has the flat part facing the push rod, it has marks on it unfortunately i have mislaid my manual so i can't cross reference anything

can someone tell me if i have a bit missing on my clutch please, having put the actuating arm in the ignition side cover,bolted the cam on the bottom of it, it doesn't come into contact with the clutch push rod. perils of buying a bike in a box i guess Many thanks

thats brilliant thank you

Hi I would like to put a rear wheel in my mar that has the brake drum the same side as the sprocket, and do away with the cable and have the benifit of a thicker axle,, can anyhbody point me in the right direction as to what wheel hub to use. Many thanks
