Does anyone know how to get a replacement Certificate of Origin for a Bultaco in the US? I lost mine years ago. My Sherpa T 199 was originally sold by Cycle Sport Bultaco in Houston Texas. I am trying to get it registered in Massachusetts.
It is a plastic tank. Should I try to have it plastic welded? My intent was to try epoxy and if it didn't work I would buy a new tank. I really need a larger tank for trail riding.
On my 199 Sherpa I have a Regina Extra chain. Is it a 520? I am looking to make it longer because I changed the counter shaft sprocket. Where can I get half links with cotter pins for this chain?
I removed the sprocket and the problem still exists. There are shoulders on both sides of the sprocket. To take off the sprocket I bent the washer straight and tapped the nut and the socket with the flat end of a small ball peen hammer. To my surprise when I put the socket and breaker bar on the nut it turned free with no effort. The chain wasn't even on. I was attempting to rock the sprocket back and forth at the bind hoping to loosen what ever is causing this problem. I am going to tighten the nut so I can rock the sprocket at the bind.
Yes, It rotates freely in both directions and binds in the same spot. I noticed this when I would roll the bike in neutral there would be momentary tension and then release on the chain.
I will pull the sprocket tomorrow and let you know about the sprocket nut and shoulder.
I have fresh gear oil in trans. The 199 sat for 24 years while I was working heavy hours. I did ride it last year a few miles. I wonder if changing the fluid every two rides will fix the problem.
I would not want to damage the transmission by riding the bike.
While turning the countershaft on my 199 by hand it stops turning once every revolution. If I turn it harder it will rotate. The transmission works as it should although the shifting is a bit notchy.
What is the cause the sticky countershaft?
