Great , thanks info think some one rebuilt 213 many years ago and Parker it , I picked it up from a picker ? He never started it , had fuel in it looked dark , thought it was a ready runner got it running after 40 kicks , was tired engine , so, back to drawing board find right , cylinder , have 166 , it’s needs boring if , fixable at last oversized, they charge 100. To bore and tax at our local machine shop , going look at my spares , I cannot use 199 , upon info it’s 60 mm , it’s nice shape , I save for another , when working with older 250 so 68 pursang Alpina 85 parts interchange , with no problem ,, ya always thinking how to put puzzle together , , and really liked 213 the way it rides. Thinking ,, that made changes around 1975 to 76 , , mk models go all over upon looking at production list , could not find any engine production on line , just. Some info on bultaco changed bore stroke for tax , Government regulation

Ok that helps ,Sherpa t ,,
