Hi, I've been reading through this topic. I am also in the process of making up a lighting/wiring harness for my Alpina. I have a Motoplat 6 pole points generator. I am not going to install a battery ( as i think was originally fitted). But need to know what ( or how to find out) which lighting coil should supply which part of the lighting circuit... I have 6 wires coming from the Stator. one to earth, one to the ignition coil. one I assume goes to the ignition/kill switch, the other three? H/light? taillight? brakelight and horn? If i get overvoltage bulb blowing issues: can i just fit 12volt bulbs. any advice much appreciated, SeaKayaker

Hi, January 2014, Just read Bultaco 49's advice on removing fork oil seals. Great advice. I did use a dremel to cut the old seals. I am now sure that the seals that i have just removed were the originals: almost 40 years of service, and really well embedded in the fork ally. So very good advice. many thanks, Sea Kayaker Bultaco Alpina #213

Bonjour à tous ! I discovered this forum by chance yesterday! I normally ride a 1955 Motobecane here in the south of France. By chance, I found a 1978 Bultaco Alpina for sale locally. I bought it a couple of days ago! Now for a little restoration project over the next few weeks. Then to get out trail riding, and enjoy my new bike. Hope to be an active member here on the Forum.

Hi, I am new to this forum. So here is my first post. I have just bought a 1978 Alpina 350 model 213: with the plan of using it for trail riding here in France. The fuel tank is glassfibre and is already suffering from Ethanol degradation. I am thinking of fitting a new tank. My questions are: Can i get a larger tank? Can I fit a larger tank? Will a Pursang tank fit? Are plastic tanks Ethanol resistant? Looking forward to your advices. Sea Kayaker
