Thanks everybody for the comments. So... in the end I bought the bike. I will see if I get it running and otherwise try to sell it again. I started taking things apart today and cleaning them. I disassembled and cleaned the carburetor , bought a new spark plug and washed the air filter. Also I removed leftover fuel, gear oil and cooling liquid. I will try to put some fresh fuel in in the next days and see if i can get it started. I hope somebody can help me with a few questions: - what is the position for the screws on the carburetor for Idle and air - how much gear oil to fill in the clutch - how much cooling luqiud and witch kind - whats the fuel to oil ratio needed ? Thanks a lot and a good weekend

I think it has been standing for about 1.5 years. I can get it for 300 euros/250 Gbp, so quite cheap. Can anybody recommend a good european webpage where i can find spare parts ? Is the engine the same as for the more recent models ? Thanks Christoph

Hello all, I am new to this forum and (hopefully) about to buy my first trial. A friend of mine offered me his 2001 beta rev 3 250 for a good price and I am tempted to buy it. However he said that it needs some maintenance/repair and I am having troubles to estimate how much money and time this would require. According to him the following things need to be addressed/changed: - replace chain - clutch is stuck (though i found some solutions for that here in the forum) - Air and oil filter - spark plug - brakes need to be bleed - Suspension service I have no former experience with motos or engines in general but I am comfortable servicing my mountain bikes (brakes, forks, gears...). I assume that most of the things are rather easy to fix. I am worried about the clutch. Any ideas how much I d need to invest to get it up and running again ? Thanks for any comment ! Christoph
