morgan_horn Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hello, My name is Morgan, I am 23, and live in Saskatchewan Canada. I was recently at a garage sale and saw an old bike, thinking it was a Honda Elsinore from behind. Got closer, realized it was a Montesa, owner asked me if I would like top buy it. I replied, "no, I don't have that kind of money", he laughed and said, "For $40 she is yours." So I bought it. It seems to be in decent shape, however it is missing a few bits and pieces. He had told me it did not have spark, and upon further inspection I found that the points are not opening up. So I have located replacement points and a condensor. My first question is, does anyone know where I can get flywheel puller to suit the 1974 Montesa cota247-T? Thank you so very much in advance. And thank you for a such a great website!

nh014 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Great buy. You can't go wrong for $40 bucks. About the puller ... go on E-Bay and enter flywheel puller. Get one from Heartland Industries, they are well made. See note below from John Haberbosch's web site (RMMontesa). Flywheel Removal Montesa flywheels are fastened onto a tapered shaft. The woodruff key is only a location device. It is used for location purposes for ignition timing. The key does nothing else. There are 2 flywheel pullers for all vintage Montesa flywheels. They thread into the flywheel with right hand threads. The flywheel nut, on the other hand, is a left-hand threaded fastener. The two sizes are 27mm x 1.25 thread pitch and 30mm x 1.5 thread pitch. You must have the engine number to order the correct one. There was a change in at least one model from one to the other during its production. If you find a part number in a parts book that doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme67 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hi Morgan guess you have sorted this now, but if not, make a puller, I had same problem and no money, so make a puller from a couple of bits of flat bar, and a big bolt, worked well, still have it 30yrs on (not sure why)....Good luck Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
