I got a 349 rebuild article which was a copied from an old TMX, The rebuild was done by Sandiford's and is pretty comprehensive. Pops up every now and again on ebay. I go the 7mm allen keys of ebay as well. Hope that helps...
cheers Guy
In the same thread does anything go on the frame between that and the alloy tank? and is there meant to
be foam or such like between the tank and the tank shelter. Just replaced a fibreglass tank with an alloy tank
with fibreglass tank shelter on my bike and its a lot nosier presumably the tank vibrating against the frame?
I had the very same problem a few months ago when i repacked my exhaust, airbox off, rear mudguard off still couldn't refit exhaust, Take the coil off and hey presto it fits. The extra wiggle room with the coil off does the trick..
I think the 248 and 349 engines are the same apart from the bore so you should be able to fit it. As an aside I turned down the counterweight on my 348 a bit to put less stress on the crank and get a better engine response.
The decompressor is a valve that that goes in the second plug hole operated by a cable and a small lever on the bars. They are used to aid starting and and can be used as a brake on slippy descents as tend not to break traction
You can still get them from twin shock trials shops

Hi Netley,
I have the same problem on my 348 a leaking clutch case, how do you go about changing the seals on the gear selector and clutch actuator shafts..
Is it a big job?
Thanks Guy
if you are starting out the Lothian Trials club do good entry level events.
The events are near Pencaitland which may be convenient for you if you are in the central belt
Bit off topic chappo but where are you getting your exhaust repacked? as I need mine doing ( are you getting exhaust and silencer done) is it expensive?
cheers
Agreed not as transformative as changing the head angle, but as the standard affair is loose balls in a plastic race new tapered bearings made the steering a lot smoother on my bike. The old bearings were past their best probably but clean and well greased when I replaced them. Good mod IMHO for £30.
+1 for the 26mm oko I put one on mine and it starts and runs very well... if you want it to turn better change the head stock bearings for modern roller type bearings it will transform the steering.
