November 11, 200718 yr Hi Guys For those that where following my previous thread "Bultaco Mechanic Wanted" ... am pleased to say the bike is NOW running and starting second or third kick ! ...wont go into to many details other than heres the final chapter ... but shortened ! 1. Last week the barrel went of to Dave R for a re-bore / new piston etc ...as there was so much wear it would just not run , it was still on its original bore size ! 2. This week and barrel is back + box of more goodies ready for assembly ! 3. Sat / Sunday ... Engine back together ... wiring mocked up to check spark with the new HT coil , its now very fat and blue ! 4. Sun afternoon , all fueled up ready for the big test ... fired up third kick ..and once warm first / second kick ! 5. Warmed up / cooled down 5 - 6 times , all looks ok so far ... so next week .. on with final assy of other bits , air-box, side-panels ect ! Am so relieved to have reached the end of a very long tunnel and now got the bike running , just need to fine tune the carb and get entering those meetings , just a quick thanks to those who racked their brains for ideas as to why the bike would'nt run . For those who did'nt follow the previous thread the conclusion was ... fresh crank seals [plus also all oil seals] a re-bore , new HT coil , new Mikuni carb , points , condensor where the main items that had to be sorted to get the bike running ! Cheers Greg
