September 30, 20178 yr Hi Guys and Gals, I have just bought a Fantic 200. I have started getting it in order and found today when cleaning and refilling forks with new oil. That one of the Fork top nuts which has a Grub screw in the middle has one of the Internal Ball and Spring Valve missing. Now do I actually need these in ? will what little air is passed through this small hole have a big affect on the forks. Or how about I block off the hole ? will this have an affect on the forks. But if anybody can point me in the right direction to buy new ones maybe that is what I should do. I also have another big job to complete, it will not start NO Sparks, I have ordered a new electronic ignition system from a company called In Motion which does away with the coil etc, so hopefully I should be up and running soon. I think to replace a 27 year old system makes good sense. I am new to this 1980 twin shock stuff, looking forward to using the forum Thanks in advance Ken
September 30, 20178 yr Author Thanks for that info, But I do not need the whole items. I only need the internal Ball and spring Valve. However this company might sell them or know who does. Regards Ken.
September 30, 20178 yr Just scrounge a ball bearing and cut a ball pen spring to suit? It's not too critical.
