Fortunately the CHP realized I was the victim and not a suspect, they actually know who stole the bike, but refuse to do anything because they did not witness the theft...
Well after spending 2 years of my free time and spending several thousand $ my bultaco is gone forever ! I had just finished fixing the last leak and decided its time to get it registered. Went to the DMV and filled out the paperwork, the next thing I know the CHP is giving me a long talk about where I got the bike and loading it up in a tow truck. as you might have guessed it had been stolen. My advice is be very careful when buying on Facebook marketplace! All the new parts on the bike should stay with me, but I had no choice.
Having a hard time finding lever assemblies with the small Amal style adjusters. There are many for sale online, but the all seem to have the larger cable adjusters. anyone out there know where I can get some? Inmotion is out BTW.
That's what I have, the lighting coil is what was damaged, was thinking I could isolate it but from what you say that's probably not possible. Just got word from InMotion that it can be refurbished which is probably the route to take as they are very expensive. Thought about going with another system, but this one was working fine before my woodruff key failed. Quick question: do I even need to use the key with this system? Would still like to run a light off this since I bought the lighting coil version, any idea of how to wire it up? It has a wire for light power, and assume just going to the light and then ground, if it is regulated.
Getting a little confused, the only damaged coil is the one for the lights, the ignition coil seems OK, are they linked somehow? this is the kit from InMotion BTW. can I cut the wire between them? not sure why it gets no spark if the coil is undamaged? Unfortunately the kit has not schematic, nor does it say how many watts it puts out. Want to hook up a small led light eventually. It also says nothing about need a regulator or rectifier, just go to a distribution panel
Well the 199B was running great then the woodruff key which I had thought was in all the way had been pushed out the other side and eventually found its way to the ignition coils on my brand new electronic ignition! crying alligator tears at the thought of buying another one, is it possible to replace those coils? or repair them?
Finally got the bike done and it started right up, I was shocked! I now have the newest Sherpa on the planet! While opening the petcock I noticed it has three positions, and I did not pay attention when rebuilding it, but I assuming up and down is open, but which way is closed and which way is reserve ?
You have a plug with a solid terminal. You can get the same plug either threaded or with a removable nut, no need to change the heat range if you dont want to
That is the plug I have and the top does not unscrew on top, need a plug that will unscrew at the top allowing me to use use the threaded part in the boot
Bought the electronic ignition for my 199B, last year 350 and noticed the it needs a spark plug that has the threads on top instead of the modern style plug for the boot to fit, I am using an NGK BPR4ES. Is there a plug that will work with this boot or do I need to convert the boot?
Yes, modern Trials bike bars are fat in the middle (28.6mm) and don't have or need a cross brace.
I just searched your previous posts and see you're possibly looking for bars for a Sherpa T, you need to look at 7/8" (22.2mm) bars for these older bikes that have standard top triple clamp. Many different brands out there and they're all good as far as I'm concerned but, if you're looking at the Renthal website then look for 7/8" Trials bars, 742(4.5"), 660(5.0"), 735(5.5"), 768(6.0"). They all come with a cross brace.
