hi all am just about to start a rebuild on a 199A engin dose anybody know is there 1 or 2 main bearings on the right hand crank side? i only ask because the depth of the crank case looks like it taks 2 bearings. also theres a thin metal wire in beded in the crank bearing area with a gap in it any ideas? this is on the same side. i got 7 bearings from bultaco uk this is a full set theres 2 small lay flat bearings 4 big bearings and 1 medium size bearing. i know where all the bearings go i just want to know why have i got one left over?

Use your manual Bondy

For the 199a model on the clutch side there should go two bearings for the crankshaft in the engine case,

(The 199b (first batch / production run) have a instead of two single bearings ome double ball bearing at the same location)

thanks for that patrick this is my first time rebuilding the motor. cheers mate
