  1. I am looking for a good workshop / reference manual for assistance in stripping / rebuilding my 1961 B40. I have the Haynes type but require something with info. any suggestions please.
  2. E-mail me if you require a copy of test.
  3. Jay, I have a dirt bike rider test for your italjet will e-mail to you. Also for swm 350,cagiva dg350 & montesa 349
  4. Slapshot On my 2004 Beta 250 i use PJ1 Clutch tuner. Have also used Putoline GP10. Both work fine, changed every 3 trials.
  5. R2W, I h am a member, Yes i have put a wanted here. Looks a bit unlikely, will have to try and make one.
  6. Ok, will try Terry weedy for the tanks. Hopefully they will not be too expensive
  7. Ok, thanks for the info. I will weld up the grooves and polish back to riginal shape for now. Will probably look at fitting a pad of sorts.
  8. Query for you knowlegable people. Is there meant to be a slipper pad on the B40 duplex chain tensioner. Mine seems to run on the metal adjuster bracket !! It is also badly grooved, where the chain has been running. Is their supposed to be a pad of sorts ?
  9. Can anyone reccommend alloy tank supplier for these bikes. Or doea anyone have any secondhand ones for sale. ?. At a reasonable price of course Any alternative tanks that may fit perhaps ?.
  10. Looking for a side panel for my Cagiva DG350. Anyone got one lying around ?. Just a hopeful request. Or any idea where i could find one.
  11. Uncle Buck, sounds that you have just solved my problem. Has anyone had PVL fitted to their B40 as alternative to Boyer ?. Would this help with starting the engine once it was warm ?.
  12. OTF, Thanks for the info regarding oil leaks, wondered why the bit was plugged. The b40 has boyer ignition fitted, which starts ok first kick and runs away fine, 2nd kick is a nightmare to start, getting over compression. I have considered fitting pvl as a second option, but thought the boyer was ok?. If you find the valve lifter that would be great for just now.
  13. Help needed, I need a valve lifter assembly for a 1961 B40, bolts to rocker cover. Can anyone help with this. B**ger to start without one !!
  14. Gents, Thanks for the info. Didn't realise the the clutch & gearbox had seperate oils. Gas Gas 249 where did you get your piston & rings from ?.
  15. Hoping to run the mecatecno at a club trial this weekend. Just need a wee bit info confirmed by you knowlegable people. Engine oil capacity & type, 500cc 75w pji clutch tuner ? Plug type B8es ?. Mixture 50: 1. Any one know if rear wheel is the same as any other bikes ?. Any one know if rear guard is the same as any other bikes. Do these bikes normally sound fairly loud and ringy from the top end.
  16. R2w, Great pictures. Mecatecno looked ace. What model is the white fantic ?

  20. Martin, Spotted it, may cost a fair bit in transport to the North Of Scotland.
  21. Thank you all for the help. Have ordered sifbronze No23 rods today. Both fork legs are broken at spindle clamp, by previous owner. I assume enthuisiasm got the better of ability Will get rods next week and see how it goes.
  22. I have a set of magnesium alloy forks that require welding. Both bottom lugs are snapped for holding the spindle. The plan is to build up one side with fresh metal and re-drill. My work place is capable of the welding, but the welder requires what type of magnesium alloy rod to use. He thinks a 30% rod, but would like verification Can anyone please help.
