My serial number: interesting remark

Top end open: original 72mm diameter. It looks very clean inside, no scratch, very little carbon deposit: seems to have low hours 😏... This bike has no head gasket ?

Cooling blade: I will keep as it is (any advices ?).🙂

We are ready for the engine inspection:

Cleaning from my workshop for the next phase 😗...

To come back to previous question, this seems to be the original design:

To come back to previous question, this seems to be the original design:

I found this idea, I will try ... Just to be legal, I am always using the front brake first 😏..

Otherwise I got my new carrier, I did some improvements (lights / Turnbuckles replaced by 2" straps). It's a very good solid product , but expensive 😒

I received the petcock, the gas cap is redone (waiting the new "O" rings)...

Exhaust / muffler: not the central part. This bike seems to be done with a "standard" from the web. I don't want to put 250USD for this silencer I love this example, any idea ...🤨

Thank you, the fuel tap was probably out of service and repair with US thread... I already ordered the one from Ebay. Painting is on way, stickers and clear coating to come ..

New ignition arrived today 😃... Next will be the piston, if needed 😆. Then I will have all to renew my engine: ball bearings, seals, new connecting rod (by experience, I always change bearings for old bike to prevent a reopening ). I never keep engine open, you never know what could happen (loose elements, corrosion)... At first to finish my gas tank, but the temperature drops to winter season 🤥: difficult to paint in such condition.

Petcock issue: I discovered i have an English Petcock , I found the same in EBAY: https://www.ebay.com/itm/390669025482 Someone had such experiences ?

Primer is done, I have seen some impacts to be done before the final color 😁...

A nice repainted gas tank with such cap 😏...

Gas cap: I will need a new clean gas cap, they seems so expensive 😪. Do you have a store to go ? Thanks

My shocks: https://www.feked.com/pro-trials-shock-absorbers-chromed-steel-alloy-mix-330mm-to-400mm-40-or-50lb-springs.html Ignition I will use: https://www.electrexworld.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=bultaco&PN=STK-153L.html#SID=826

News: I bought a OKO carburetor (they are affordable). I a still working in my gas tank, inside liner will be done this week (ready for the last phase). I have the paint for outside, the tank is 90% ready. I have a question: do you have a reserve position in fuel valve ? Fly wheel is removed, no real corrosion. Electronic ignition is schedule with 12 DC for the light and accessories.

I just get the service manual from Ebay ...😉

I start the job 😊...

My Alpina will be equiped with a 12 volts system and electronic ignition...

No one used another system ?

I am thinking for the final color like this Triumph 🤫...

I just get the sealing kit for my gas tank: My tank had a long life before:
