I don't mean to sidetrack your thread here Ian, but as someone who is starting to recreationally ride a trials bike again for the first time in over 20 years, I am amazed at what changes have been brought about in Trials bike technology in that time. Your question makes me wonder.........Just what will a Trials bike be like in another 20 years?! I'm guessing it will be 98% carbon fiber or some other (maybe yet to be invented?) hi-tech material, possibly a ceramic and plastic engine using fuel cell technology?? Ha, who knows. Something to ponder over a couple of cold ones someday. Regards, Cody

Hello Martin, Many thanks for your thoughts and the heads-up regarding possible carb damage while changing pilot jets. My plan, as of this moment anyway, is to pull the carb and give it a thorough inspection just to make sure the pilot jets aren

Right you are Jay about the different carbs, in the archives I just found a post made by t_whimp on 3-26-04 with a response from Mr Martin Belair as follows: "t_wimp, your bike should have a Dellorto PHBH 26CS.

This will get you close. The rest will be fine tuning. Are you using leaded or unleaded fuel?

Now, if I can just get my left wing to work correctly so I can work on it!

Hello Eric23, I always loved the looks of the Bultaco Sherpa T but never had the chance to ride one,; it

Hello Landrover, I wonder if the carburetors are the same for your

Hello Jay, Many thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. First off, I certainly didn

I recently purchased a 2000 Cota 315 in beautiful shape but not without a few (hopefully) minor issues. In the past I have owned a Cota 247 and an Ossa MAR but it has been 20+ years since I have had either of those. My plans are not to enter competition but just to enjoy having a Trials bike once again and to help keep my reflexes and coordination from going completely south as I get older. One of the things I noticed immediately when riding the 315 for the first time was that it didn
