Fantic.156

Hi Cello, I have 3 Techno's and all 98 black models. Carbs can be an issue especially when leaning the bike over at sections, unless you turn the petrol off. The Mikuni's Vm 26?? are hard to source spares for (I needed a carb top and looked for ages). I'd suggest buying an OKO copy carb off flea bay, (around £30) and try it. As for the float height, I set mine too the manual, floats around level with the carb body, also attach a pipe and with the bowel off simulate its correct position, and manually work the floats to ensure the needle valve stops the fule supply. Best of luck and keep at it, as the Techno's are a great bike and still competitive. Jim.

hope this is of help, and make sure you clean the pilot jet, which has another jet concealed.

Hi there, see attached screen shot from the 305 manual.

One of the 1st mono shock trials bikes, built by a chap called Mike Chapman. Based on a DT175, hence why you thought it was a DT

What you have there is a Chapman BSA.

Regards the engine, if you require it rebuilding I can recommend Alan Winter (Alan the spanner) in Crook and Ozzy Byres in nearby Consett (Audit Engineering). Both have a wealth of experience with that type of motor.

Give Nigel Birkett a call at Birkett Motorsport. He stocks most spares for Scorpa and TYZ's. He'll be able to sort you out.

Hi Vader, PM me as I might be able to help you out. Thanks

Hi, to check the pick up coil, you should get Red= 0.0 ohms, and green=40-50 ohms

Geetings, before removing the flywheel etc, I'd check the resistance values from the coils and pick up using a multi meter. I am sure the values are on a thread within Fantic 240 if you take time to look through the previous posts. Cheers
