Which forks for a 1970 Matador 250
Where are you? I have some parts for a Matador you might want.

Is that a fiberglass tank?

Sherpa T 250 Erratic Carb
Only one crank seal isn't going to do it. They can harden up with age just sitting there. It might be a carb issue but you don't know until both seals are new.

Cheap Bultaco In Scotland
Is that a good deal over there? Doesn't seem like a lot of money for a running Bultaco.

Sherpa T 250 Erratic Carb
I do not know about the Ossa seals. Regardless, get them all replaced. You should see a remarkable difference. Keep in mind that you also want to insure no air leaks around the carb area either.

Pretty easy to test. Plug the hole.

Sherpa T 250 Erratic Carb
I thought the pilot jet to be too small. I'm running a 35 compared to his 20. The lag from "no throttle" is just where the pilot jet is in effect. Lag could be that it's too lean.

Bultaco Sherpa Forks
Are you including the triple clamps in the discussion? The other difference you have to worry about is the spindle offset.

Sherpa T 250 Erratic Carb
Tear the carb down and report back with needle jet, main jet and pilot jet numbers. They are stamped on each part. Instead of tape or "snuggest" of the carb to manifold a better test is to spray carb cleaner on the joint will the bike is running. A change in rpm denotes a leak.

Front Brake Cable Connection
Looks like I'm missing the spring. Never really noticed as the brake releases nicely.

Front Brake Cable Connection
Ah, jeez, now I have to go take a picture of a real M49 front brake... not a modded one.
-
Front Brake Cable Connection
It was more to show the components, like the spring and the thing that grabs the cable. And yes, the M49 is more comparable but it's three bikes deep. Isn't yours more handy?

Front Brake Cable Connection
I think this is my M92, it's less buried than the M49 but it should give you an idea of the parts.
