I just got a new sets of plates for the clutch, problem is the old set is 18 plates in total, the original set is 10 plates. Old plates is without lamina. Thickness of old set is 21mm, new set is18,2mm. I guess previous owner has changed the whole clutch basket, or is it possible to use almost 3mm thicker set of plates in original plate holder? If it is exchanged, what model can it be from?

If I go the Dell'Orto way like you did, what size nozzles and needle do you use? And is there any guide around how to setup the Dell'Orto PHBH CS? Regards Stefan

Ok, thanks for reply. It Was the previous owner that managed to crack The tank, dunno. how

is there any difference between a 242 and a 304/307 tank/seat unit? My tank is cracked so I wonder if a 307 tank will fit? Thanks Stefan

Thanks for the link Got spark again after changing to new plug. Was able to take it for a small run but carb is flooding so i need to sort that.

The marks on needle is 2B2. Both the slide and body has signs of wear but it dosent look to bad to me. Now I have no spark.

Thanks for reply's. I will check the markings on needle. I will check the wear on the slide and body. I have just started it once, but it only run on full choke, if I close choke or open throttle it stalled. Its a foam air filter, so oil it is, but the original filter box is gone . pschrauber, Interesting to hear about the Dell'Orto, does it work well tho whole range, from top to bottom.

Hi! The needle in the throttle seems to loose to me, but maybe it should be like this? The needle play sideways is around 2 mm in the throttle seat, up and down seems ok but the sideway movement looks to much, I never seen such much play on any other needle/throttle combination before. To me it looks like the hole in the throttle is to big, maybe someone previous owner put in wrong needle? Should it be like this or is something wrong here? Any help appreciated:) Edit: It is the original Amal carb. Edit 2: Should the air filter be oil filled or is it a dry filter?

Hi all, I been browsing this forum for info about my -76 Yamaha TY250 for some time now. Today I bought myself a -84 Montesa cota 242 so it was about time I did register myself here. The TY I owned back in the late 70's, early 80's and bought it back last year, so im pretty confident with that bike. I restored it totaly, exept the painting. The Cota 242 I dont know anything about, it runs but seems to need some good care and spares. So I'm pretty surer I need will need some advise from the Montesa part of forum here. My 2 Trial bikes
