  1. you have at least broke the kickstart gear and will have to replace the idler gear also.Very common on the pro models.
  2. pilot circuit is plugged some where. And/ or the lower choke circuit, the pipe in the float bowl.
  3. Yes there is a spacer in the bottom. It is probably turned upside down , remove the fork and put it back in. Hope it goes togetherso you ride tommorrow.

    Heavy clutch

    You should not remove any springs as they are are there to make the clutch work correctly. Is your pull harder than other Beta`s? If so, you should correct what is wrong not bypass the problem. It is possible to remove two springs, but as the engine and plates warm up they will slip at the worst possible moment.
  5. Tony that is great stuff, I take it you never had an Aprilia, Spring lodged in my eye lid on the first one I had out!!
  6. Monty is right about your original air box. The basic K&N filter is for a very dry climate (it will suck water) and you can not beat the proper air flow of the stock box. The funny thing is that K&N bought the concept from the inventer who was a male nurse who just had the idea of surgical gauze between a metal screen. The original filters were made in the back room of one of the oldest yamaha shops in the usa.

    I doubt some one is missing the stuff, but a used piston without the rings is strange unless the cylinder is trash.

    Carb Help

    Leave it alone. Be glad you asked, seen many people replace them and spend hours `fixing a carb problem`.
  9. you might get more response if you explain what brand and model of bike you are looking at.
  10. Also that was a great reason the running of the `dead idle` was common. Almost no brakes combined with the overweight flywheels made for a different mindset when setting up the bike, let alone riding the sections! I can`t believe how much fun I had riding one!!

    Help!

    Could be two problems. Did you use a new gasket. The tolerance on that side case is very minimal, so over tightening could cause this. And / or did you remove that large bolt at the top of the case that is just under the exhaust???? That bolt holds the detent for the kick start return spring. In which case it has to be reassembled with the correct tension on the spring.
  12. Not had trouble mounting, but hard to bead up. Plus side is I`ve never had one spin, perfect if you have to run a tube.
  13. Sure you could switch out the yokes and forks from a 96-99 I suppose, but you still have to maintain the forks with oil changes and seals. I always had about the same luck with either type of fork.
  14. If I remember , thier is two o-rings on the shaft to keep oil in. You have to remove the whole cover and there is a wound spring held in pla ce by that big nut below the engine. Be careful as it almost got my eye the first one I did. It has been too long to give proper advice.
  15. You can have a knock just being lean on the pilot jet. You might try drilling out your own jet if you have a few spares.
  16. First you should be pushing up from the bleeder. Second the clutch outer hub only goes back exactly as it came apart. It is marked ,but odd as most clutches go back together any which way.
  17. I was not a bultaco owner, but it looks like the cable itself had an adjuster that went thru the hole.
  18. A one bike trailer would be a much easier solution and would not alter your steering if done properly.

    Ty80 Footpegs

    I made my own brackets and used rev 3 mounts and pegs. Which moved them further back and lower than the SM ones. I got away with rotating the kick start farther forward on the shaft. Had to teach my son to lightly kick it, but our bike was also an easy starter.

    Ty175 Project

    Glad it still runs , Bob
  21. Cody 1st Pat 2nd results are up at NATC site
  22. sounds more like the pilot jet. I`d clean the carb. Do you have an inline filter?
  23. Nif40 I see you might be happy with the new importer. I have not seen them post anything yet to any trials related web sites. Be interesting to see if there is any Beta supprt at the national next week.?! Be carefull what you wish for as this is a very small sport.
  24. If you are lucky, it will just be the top hat & spring that sit at the end of the shaft. You have to remove the clutch basket to get to it. If not you will have to split the cases.
  25. He has not said how big the kid is yet, I wish I had the 125`s of today when I was a kid! I`ve been riding trials since `72 and even riding todays 125's is no fun for me. De- tuning a sherco would be easier than the 280 gas gas. P.S. my 12 year old is 5' 11 and 170 lbs will be over 6' before he is 13. Some rules should not apply.He rides a 250. But I do believe world champions should start on 125's, but most are in this sport for the fun factor. just my 2 cents.
