Yes your tanks will interchange - as will most other cycle parts - as long as Woody states you have the late 75 type
If the bolt hole is at side - you are in business - but if tank is off the 74 type ( which also ran into 75 ) it will be one piece with bolt hole at top.
The frames of ghe later 75-76 only really vary in the frame design just undeer the headstock - straight opn 350 - but slightly " bowed" on the 350 - but all other parts will interchange - as will everything else cycle wise
MSM do a policy which definitely covers you when you are on the road - in a Trial ( or Enduro)
Take care to check that the other policies do - else you may well be paying out your hard earned for something that is not what you want - and I know from experience they do not always make this clear
Get mate to ride past - at approxTrials section speed
From your vantage point ( maybe someway off)
See if it easier to determine when Front Wheel spindle passes stick?
OR When rear wheel spindkle passes stick ?
Before Front wheel spindle passes - view obstructed by - Front tyre( 2.75) / spokes ( see tthrough ??)
Before rear wheel spindle passes - view obstructed by ? Whole machine ? Frame , engine, s/arm, riders legs if footing , chain , Rear tyre ( 4.00) chain guard and so on ??????
I think this idea may be more complicated than we assume. There are no ACU Doctors - only some Doctors who have taken out FIM licences to be able to officiate at World events etc. For rest of time they go about their normal jobs - and if this part of UK is anything to go by they are pretty busy - and we even often shut A & E in my town for " shortage" of Doctors - so if it is feasable to arrange some ar Rugby - especially to do ESG I am doubtful - but it is well outside my knowledge so I will make enquiries - but this may take some time.
I am still more concerned at the fact that one would need such stringent Medical analysis to compete in a normal trial - and this is the avenue I wish to pursue first
All I can say for now is that along wth many others I rode in Spain in 2008 in Robregardo , and I certainly did not have an ECG etc - and I am fairly sure I paid
It really can be false economy to re use these bearings - if you have a good crank - and fit new new bearings - providing you put gearbox back together - you know you have a good bottom end - and any future problems can always be done with the motor still in bike.
This is why I said if you really are strapped for cash - you could get away with ordinary 6205 ( without seals) or if your new 6205 has seals ( 2RS) just flip them out
I know everyone tells you - correctly - to use C3 - but if you cannot locate them - use the 6205 - still better than putting old bearings back. C3 bearings should not cost you more than around
Your picture looks OK - but as someone else has said make sure you tension K/start spring.
Best way is to take off to two K/start gears ie the large one shown and the small ratchet one underneath.
Put K/start on shaft and turn shaft until hook of k/start spring is just locating on the stem of shaft ( behind shouldered nut.
Then turn the K/start one or one and a quarter turns around and place the ratchet gear onto the shaft as per your photo.
Make 100% sure that you have the k/start spacer washer on top of the large k/start gear before you assemble cases.
It is the only spacer in the whole of a Bultaco 5 speed set up - but is the one that often gets lost/missed out
Flip the plastic seals out of your bearings if you wish to use these - as others have said you should use C3 - but to be honest it is not as critical on this motor as you would think - and while good engineering practice requires them - I have never had a problem with Bultaco motors on normal 6205 - and I have ridden and built literally hundreds of the things. If you can locate C3 at normal price use - if you are on tight budget you will get away with 6205's
No Dixie - No-where do I or anyone else deny you should have a right to opinion. No -where have I said this.
What I did say - What I do say and what I will always say , is that you have no right whatsover to equate those who happen to be involved with the Governing body with being " Officials" and now nothing about riders or riding. You are happy to quote that you rode Enduro's in the 80's - please have a look in the British Championship or any major event event programmes of these years - and you will see we must have been riding together - or for that matter in the programmes of many trials at about this time - so it cannot possibly make sense to imply that you have some sort of insight into what riders require - but others like me do not - I just cannot see the logic in any of that.
Equally - you have absolutely no right to talk about " we" paying my wages - when you or anyone else does not. You certainly have no right to infer about European expenses etc -it will not take the Daily Telegraph to sort out any of my expenses - you are welcome to scrutinise at any time - as long as either of us is prepared to make a substantial donation to a charity of your choice should we be in the wrong.
Additionally - you certainly have no right to tell me I am a " hobby motorcyclist" becuse I drive a car - this is just absurd. I too ride a motorcycle of some kind most days - and I too spent years and years on road motorcycles before ever getteing a car licence , but that actually means very little in the context of posts about FIM changing rules- which is the post you started.
It does apear that after starting a post - which as others have said was leading to some good debate - you choose to go off on a tangent and tell me that I was missing the point - and somehow becuase I am an Official - that am more likely to miss such a point .
The hard fact is - that I believe not one person who has read your posts has any idea what point it is you are trying to make.
My initial reply - was to try to explain exactly what the position was to date - and how we had arrived there - and while this was obviously of no benefit for you - others may have felt that some background information may have helped the debate along.
Now - I believe I am man enough to apologise to you if any way you have been miss-aligned - and without doubt you have clearly indicated that you are an active " doer" especially as an Observer rather than someone who just tells everyone else what to do.
BUT - I honestly and sincereley - however many times I read you post do not understand exacty what you are trying to say . This is the crux of the matter - what exactly is your point - regardless of who is replying to you ?
You seem to honestly believe that all I say is from an Officials point of view - and that you speak from a riders point of view. I would hazzard a guess that you have never ridden anything like as much as I have. I would hazzard a guess that I still ride more than you do - so I lose track of your train of thought.
You have managed to make me laugh howver when you state - You have to agree " we" pay your wages . No you do not - no-one pays my wages - and as I have stated on this Forum many times - No ACU Commitee person , No ACU Commitee Chairman, No ACU Chairman overall and no ACU Director gets paid - so for sure nobody is paying my wages - but the very thought of it has amused me - as well as you have amused me by saying that I see things just as an Official and not a rider - so I am going to forgive you for past missaprehensions and wish you luck in your future posts.
How many events planned in 2010 ?
