could you put a carb off a 2000 sherco pblh26 onto a montesa 315 1999 cheers lee

refitting the bash plate is going to be a challenge........ unbolt the two arms what hold the rad in place and pull them forwards slightly, put the 2 allen bolts in the bottom of the skid plate and then get some bolts with the same thread as the two front bolts about 60mm long (not to long will hit the engine) wind one side in enough to fit the original ones in, worked every time

solved one problem removed oil and there was just about the same as i put in, there is no gearbox breather on or the little bung that sits int hole and iv been jetwashing it to the max when returning home, after taken the head off the bottom gasket was oily wet so that could be a blown gasket and when i rest my parm on where the bottom gasket goes and put my fingers in the flywheel it has a twitch rock (havent a flywheel extractor yet) but not no expert with the wood ruff key but when i look down the shaft it looks like the keys still there (with nut off) all this on one ride out (was thinking could a little wobble on the flywheel alter my timing make it go in reverse and because i still rode it home it felt like a bag of clappers and sounded its made my gasket go) mad eh thanks lee

think it is a gearbox breather

forgot the jetwashing just took my engine out to day and noticed a hole (crankcase breather) havent a bung and pipe on it think i have a well unlucked after motor i only ever done top end work on my bikes so im just trying to get to grips with the bottom end like when i hold my flywheel it has a little twitch in it when i rock it is that normal

when ive taken the nut off the flywheel you can see the grove and the key (or should i just take it off properly and check) cheers lee

hi hope someone can help as from my recent posts i have just done a top end rebuild, been on 5 outing and every things been ok when i was out last week the bike started to make knocking noises and the bike started to feels not right at tick over and then started to go in reverse. took the fly wheel cover off and nut the wood ruff key is still there, so checked the rad no water in the bike at all, took out the oil bolt and roughly 10-15ml of water came out first and the oil was all gray milky , took off the cylinder head and the crank is really oily when turned (thick black) is the crank (top end) sealed from the gear box or can water still get in there from head, and would that explain why my bike is running like crap thanks lee

the montesas flywheel has no places to put nuts and bolts (looks like a good tool like) just removed the nut with the rachet strap and my woodruff key is still in when i grab hold of my flywheel and give it a good rock i can fell a slight movement dose this mean my bottom end bearings have gone thank lee

cheers sounds a better way ill give it a go thanks lee

was thinking of useing rachet tye downs rapped round the flywheel and foot peg for support can you use the rachet gun without a holding tool

anyone got any tips on getting the flywheel nut off (any home made tool tips ) thanks lee

thanks for the replies just taken the flywheel case off and the flywheel is smooth no rock (would i be able to tell if the woodruff key was gone) thanks lee
