Hi mate, I found it on the internet somewhere..... Google is your friend. I think it was a link on a forum somewhere by memory. The manual is pretty basic. Just has basic specs and oil recommendations. Its certainly not a workshop manual by any degree. Cheers, Scott.

Im using 10w40 in the gearbox. The manual calls for 10w30 but I havent had any issues. Mixing the fuel with synthetic Castrol 2 stroke oil at 50:1. Spark plug is an NGK B6ES.

Hi mate, I have the same bike. Nice little Montesas! Yes I would flush the tank and put fresh fuel in it. Drain the fuel from the carby bowl. Check the Gearbox oil and sparkplug, see if it has spark. Check the condition of the air filter. They're usually good places to start. In Motion in the UK has quiet a few spares for these if needed. Pistons are rare though. What's the other Montesa in the background? Cheers, Scott.

Looks great, nice job. Amazing you have still been able to source parts. 👍

Cheers mate, I appreciate that. I was down at OMCC yesterday. Managed not to fall off.... 👍 Cheers, Scott.

Hi Ron, I did notice recently that the site was down, I was googling info on my bikes and Trials Central kept coming up. The old bikes are cool, but can be a bit problematic. The Monty is refusing to start at the moment. I’ve got spark, I think I may have some sort of blockage on the carb. I recently pulled the carby off because I left the fuel on overnight and it flooded the cylinder. Now she no go…. More investigation needed. Eagle8, I’m in the Dandenongs. I’m also a member of OMCC, I just joined up actually. I was down there last Sunday. I’ve got a dark blue 105 series Landcruiser, if you see it wander over and introduce yourself. 👍

Newby to the Forum, Im 56 yo, I used to ride Motocross and trials here in Victoria, Australia back in the late 80's though to early 2000's. I was younger/fitter then... The kids have grown up and are doing their own thing now so my interest in motorcycles has come back to haunt me after a 20 something year lay-off. Looking forward to chatting. 👍 Current rides.... '14 Gas Gas TXT R 250 '81 Montesa Cota 200.
