angus Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Just bought two 1981 cota 200's which have been sitting idle in a barn for a couple years and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the volume and correct type of engine oil to use? Any help will be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagecota Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 The clutch/gearbox uses 900cc of 10/30wt motor oil. I use Castrol GTX Do the kickstarters work on both bikes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angus Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) Cheers. Both the kickstarters work and both engines fire up but the one which had the least use and was never trialed has a bad knock. What is the best spark plugs to use? Each bike had an NGK, one being a B10EV and the other a B8ES, but either of these could have been stuck in at any time while they were sitting.

vintagecota Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Spark plug is a B6ES (NGK) Good to hear the kickers work. That's the Achilles' heel of the 200. The gears are being reproduced but trouble with the heat treating is delaying them. Otherwise they are unavailable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
