Yeah the bike is from down south, Petersfield to be exact.The guy rides in gosport and alton trials as I do(occaisionally), so like you say it wont of seen any big rocks.He bought it new and has owned it since.Not done much work.I have ridden it once, over at privett, and as you say it is very different from the Beta.
Give Lampkins a call.They are very helpful and offer a very prompt delivery service.The same thing happened to me on my techno.Rings ended up welded to the piston.If barrel is scored it will have to be replated.
I have recently(3 months ago) rebuilt my 97 270 techno.I only got round to starting it yesterday as i have been very busy with work etc.
I put in new piston,rings,smallend and gudgeon pin etc.When i went to start it yesterday it is running really rough.It wont tick over on its own and when you get ready to kick it over you can hear awhoosh sound coming from the air intake.
I think it is definately the piston and rings. The rings are actually welded into the piston.Think it has been worn for some time and the lips of the piston have formed over the rings.Going to order a new kit from Lampkins in a mo.
I have a 98 techno 270.The other day i had it in my garage,giving it a tweak and all of a sudden the engine stopped dead.Now I have no compression when I try to kick it over.
Any ideas?
Through rational thought I think it can only(lol) be one of three things
a; A hole in the piston
b;broken ring(s)
c; wooddruff key broken.
Any ideas or thoughts and info on this would be greatly appreciated.
I currently have a 98 270 techno but i have the chance to buy a 01 280 txt.Never ridden the gasser so dont know how different it is if at all.Would like some advice on the gassr and wether it is worth changing
I have exactly the same bike.I have owned it for six months now and it is an excellnt bike.Easy to ride and quite forgiving.Have ridden afew diff. newer makes (gas gas,sherco),and the techno doesnt feel like a 8 year old bike.
Just keep fluids topped up and use good quality two stroke oil(repsol,rock oil)and you will be fine
I have a cota200 and am in need of splitting the gearbox due to very leaky gasket.Not very mechanically minded but if i do this are the shafts and gears going to fall out or are they on circlips or similar.
Can anyone tell me how many turns the mixture screw should be out on my beta technos mikuni carb.Also which way does what ie two turns more fuel than air or two turns more air than fuel.
You are all probably fed up with me asking silly questions.I have noticed on the main beta website that you can download an owners manual for the rev-3.Does anyone know of, or have a manual for my techno 270(98/99 model)
Many Thanks

Cota 200 Spares
in Montesa
Posted
Hello to you all
Have not been on here in a while, due to family commitments.
My question today is thus.
Whilst clearing my garage last week I had to move my cota 200 round a few times.It started me thinking that it would be good to restore this bike.
Are spares readily available, now that snadifords are no longer the mont men?
If they are where from?
Thanks in advance
Graham
