Hi all,

My mate's just bought a 1997 Fantic 303 249cc

We have absolutely NO information on it. Could anyone let us know the fluid levels.

i.e. How much fork oil, How much gearbox oil, correct fuel/2T mix.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

The fantic 303 ran from 1987 to 1988.

I assume this is what you meant!

Try Bill Pye at Frankfield garage, he knows most things fantic!

Hi, gearbox oil 500ml, 2stroke oil 50:1 or 100ml to 5 litres of fuel, spark plug B8ES GAP 0.25 not sure on the other. I have just completely rebuilt 2 of these and parts are very expensive,if you need any more help let me know, as said i got all my parts and info from bill pye

Thanks both...

Yep..sorry I did mean 1987!!

ANyone know how much fork oil should go in them...(and..even better..what size the fork seals are??...be great to go and buy them, before taking them out)

I have just replaced the fork seals on my 1988 Series 2 303 and the forks are Marzocchi 35mm. I got the seals from a Ducati dealer, they are 35mm x 47mm x 7.5mm. Not sure about the fork oil quantity!

The forks will need 220cc's of 7.5wt. per leg.

As far as the mixture ratio goes I'm running mine @66:1 with the fuel screw 1 turn out, the needle dropped 1 clip position and a 106(down 1 size from a 108)main jet. 50:1 with modern synthetic oils is too oil rich and will probably cause the bike to regularly "fluff" the plug.

Also run your air filter dry, not heavily oiled as this can also compound the problem(Bill Pye's advice,not mine)

Cheers,

Spencey.

Thanks Spencey and MadAlec...

This will all be very helpfull!!!....particularly fork seal sizes. They are so cheap here, its nice to go and get them, and have them ready before taking the old ones out.

Cheers again
