Hi, as previous comments, most cables, gaskets, tyres etc are still readily available, but the engine side of things, gears, pistons etc are a bit more of a challenge, and aren't cheap either, Tricky Trials in the UK and Vallmoto in Spain carry the hard to find stuff. I have used both for bits for my 200 Cota. My group has a file section where you can download the parts manual, will make it easier when searching for parts by number rather than description. www.facebook.com/groups/hardtofindtrialsandaircooledmono/

Hi, Maybe a silly question, but is there an easy way to fit the return spring on the shaft, and into the locating hole? Cheers, Mark

Hi, Montesa stuff as I'm sure you have found, very hard to come by new, other than the odd stuff on fleabay, not a lot of choice, inmotion trials will have a few new bits, and will have cables etc, please feel free to join my facebook group......www.facebook.com/groups/hardtofindtrialsandaircooledmono plenty of contacts for used parts as and when they come available, and look in the file section, parts / owners manual on there if you need too, good luck, feet up! Cheers, Mark

Seems you got sorted, but other than fleabay, I have used www.vallmoto.com in past, they have a few of the rarities for the Cota's, as I'm sure you have found alrerady, new parts are very hard to come by.....!! please feel free to join my facebook group for twinshock and air cooled mono's, plenty of stuff to go at...cheers, Mark...There is a parts manual I think in the file section of the group for the 247 also.....feet up! www.facebook.com/groups/hardtofindtrialsandaircooledmono

Hi, I don't think the 242 and the 200 are compatible, The parts drawings and numbers are on my facebook group if it helps, pm me and I will send you the link, hope it helps, Mark.

Thanks old bones, PM sent. !

Hi, Hope this helps!! Cheers, Mark

Hi, Vallmoto have them in stock at 39 Euro's - www.vallmoto.com Hope you get sorted!! Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the replies, appreciate it, will check out frankiemountain36.

Thanks ikb, saw on the parts drawing they had tubes originally, was thinking of fitting, but seem hard to get along with the brackets!! Where did you mount your tensioner? behind casing or from the swing arm on a welded bracket???? Cheers

Hi, Does anyone know if Mainly Spanish are still trading, and If so do they have a website? Likewise, any other sources of parts for older Montesa's? Cheers, Mark

Hi, should there be a rubber slipper that goes over the swing arm to protect it? Had a look at the parts diagram but it doesn't show one fitted, or should a chain tensioner (if fitted) raise the chain above the swing arm? Thanks, Mark

Sorry mx coyafly 25, didnt see your post! Unfortunately no pics at the minute, but 95% of the way there, just refurbing the carb, new air filter etc. Just not confident with kick start set up, think it may have been reassembled wrong previously, see how we go!! will put pics up when available!! Cheers.

Thanks kingscorpian, said bits ordered from amal today, new airfilter, hope to be running for the weekend!!

Thanks paulc76, was going to buy an overhaul kit, new jets and float etc, does anyone have the correct jet sizes I should be ordering before i strip?? Any help appreciated. Mark

Thanks Ian, In Motion do the MIKUNI dont they?, is the one i have correct for my mode? l, as may service if the right one.

Hi, Could anyone put me straight on the correct carburettor for my 200 Cota? It has a Amal L2624/402 (26mm) fitted, and the spec sheet it states it should have Amal L-720 (20mm)???? Could this be contrutibutory to it not bleedin' starting!!!

Hi Paul, Thanks for the reply, I will follow your info and see how we go from there, as regards the Kickstart Gear, is there a procedure to follow in regards setting? As I mentioned, the bike was purchased 90% restored, and I am unsure as to whether the previous owner tinkered prior to me purchasing. Thanks again, Mark

Hi, Can anyone offer assistance in how to correctly set the timing on a 200 Cota? I recently purchased the bike in 90% restored condition, but for the life of me It will not start. Checked plug gap, getting a good spark but refuses to burst into life. Any help appreciated.....P.s is the kick start position key to proceedings? Cheers, Mark

Have you a chain tensioner fitted? If anything like the 200 Cota set up, could that take the slack?

Will try and upload a pic shortly, thank you for the offer of the PDF, managed to get hold of one when I purchased the bike last year.

Hi Hab5000, Currently undertaking something similar with my 200 Cota, inmotion trials are very helpful, as are Southwest montesa in the US, there are a few French sites also worth looking at. Hope this helps, and good luck with the rebuild!! Cheers,

Hi, I had a similar problem obtaining a manual, there are no maintenance manuals available for the 200 Cota, I have a parts manual, that gives oil specifications as follows, ENGINE - Castrol Super TT G/BOX - SAE 10W 30 FORKS - HIDROL-7 or Equivalent CHAIN - SAE 40 Hope this helps, Mark

Hi, can anybody advise what is a decent aftermarket clamp set that will fit the Cota 200?? Had a look on Renthal site, but nothing listed for 200 Cota. Thanks

Hi peemster, I recently purchased a 200 Cota, and found In Motion trials very helpful, also Southwest Montesa in the USA, or Trails France too. Good Luck!!
