September 24, 201411 yr I think it was 200cc of 10 - 30 engine oil for the clutch ( daft as it sounds ) and 300cc of 80 weight gearbox oil in the gearbox as I remember. I'll confirm tomorrow if you like ?? That is what i used my self, drained off 450cc of clutch oil and replaced it with 200cc of castrol racing 10w-30 then drained of 300cc of something and replaced it with halfords sae 80-90 gearbox oil. No wonder the clutch was stiff, i though because the bike has not seen any use for a while that it would maybe get better when warmed up and in use. Any way a quick run up the street proved the clutch was far better with the correct volume of oil in it. Cheers John.
September 26, 201411 yr Just got a update from the painters, tank/seat unit should be ready to pick up on Tuesday coming, so watch out for some nice pictures on tuesday night! cheers John.
September 26, 201411 yr Put the proper throttle back on and she ticks over - a little rattley but not as bad as my other ..... So bring on the next sammy miller round !!!!
September 26, 201411 yr That is good news wobbler, when is the rebuild of the other engine starting then? Cheers John.
September 26, 201411 yr Wobbler, good news on proper throttle, wish they were all that easy. Note the woes on the Bultaco page of saw miller. Have a nice day. Larry
September 26, 201411 yr I've taken the other rebuild to my sponsor/mechanic and he's getting in the case. John - have you decided on a maiden outing yet ?? What sprockets are you going to run on ?? And cheers for all of the help & input guys !! As always The Wobbler

And cheers for all of the help & input guys !! As always The Wobbler Not had a look to see what twinshock comps are on yet, will have to get a bit of practice in at the two local clubs to me. I need to see what the bike is capable of and more to the point what I am capable off! I have a 54-10 sprocket set up just now, again i will have to see what this is like. What sprocket set up are you running wobbler? Cheers John. Edited September 26, 201411 yr by johnmartin247
September 26, 201411 yr I'll check in the morning- I know the original was too high in sections !!! Give me a shout I might make a trip up into Scotland - as I don't need a passport !!! I'm trying to find a plastic ty mono tank to put on as my alloy tank us leaking and the caps are a nightmare - the rubber seals react with modern petrol !!!!!! Cheers The Wobbler

September 26, 201411 yr No passport needed for now I fancy the look of the Scottish twinshock trial at the Alvie estate in Aviemore but would be interested in covering some twinshock rounds down south( got me passport) I am sure we can sort some thing out. On the tank front, I spoke to the guy that sells the TLR tank/seat units on the twinshock shop site after reading that some on had fitted the TLR unit to a montesa 247. Unfortunately the artical was not available when i looked for it but the chap said that they could fit the fuel tap on the right hand side to suit the 247. Cost wise you are looking at about £260. Cheers John.
September 26, 201411 yr I'd like to see some pics of a fitted one for £260 !! Alvie's a great weekend - so good choice - but you'll need to get out before then !!!
September 26, 201411 yr No known pictures as the project write up is no longer online, you can see the TLR units on the twinshock trials shop website, it is a nice slimline unit with a plastic fuel tank under the fiberglass unit. Yes will get out plenty before Alvie. John.
September 27, 201411 yr John, I've just checked my sprockets and I've got a 10 Front (On this engine) and a 42 Rear.... I think I might have a 9 front on my other engine to gear it down as it was too quick .... 54 Sounds like a big rear sprocket !! Just nipped the back spokes up - going to take it for a play through the week and make sure the engine is OK. Cheers The Wobbler
September 27, 201411 yr I'm trying to find a plastic ty mono tank to put on as my alloy tank us leaking and the caps are a nightmare - the rubber seals react with modern petrol !!!!!!CheersThe Wobbler Have a look on ebay, there are three ty tanks for sale just now. Cheers John. Edited September 27, 201411 yr by johnmartin247
