No the model 199A was always: blue frame no under motor frame rails, alloy sump shield, tank, side panels, swinging arm, blue plastic Gonelli mudguards; Black engine, fork sliders, wheel hubs.
The previous model 199 was silver frame with frame rails and swinging arm, early ones had polished alloy hubs with brake area in matt black, black engine, fork sliders. Red tank and side panels, with Red Gonelli mudguards.
hello all ive got 2 199A both in blue i want 2 know if they did this model in red? if they did whats the colour was the frame? i was thinking off changing one so ive got one in blue and one in red
Painting the cylinder head black, engine body is black too and leave cylinder blasted, Mmm ... well you can give it a try.
The kickstart spring mounting you find here: # 5 and # 6
hi again think ill paint it black might look daft. geting back to the return spring when you put it on do you have to have the shaft winded back so then it will return? cant get me head round it thanks for the sketch.
Just cleaning the threads with air might be not enough, there can be still some debris left of the blasting. I had the same problem with my cylinder. First I tried to cleab them up using brake cleaner sprayed inside the thread holes and then soaked it up again with paper rags. It helped but there was still debris left. I then took some cotten wool wrapped it around a small stick soaked it in WD 40 and then srewed it inside, out again and this worked very good.
Befor remounting the head I applied some grease on to the bolts and nuts then they went really smooth in.
hello nice engin thanks for the addvice. ive sprayed my cylinder head black would you think it would be ok if i lelft the barrol siver? can you tell me how to put the kick start return spring on?

Never heard of any powdercoated gastanks this is a classical paint job IMHO, but why not, you can give it a try?? (But to get any decals under a second clear coat of paint will be dificult I believe???)
If a powdercoating is more heat durable then a good paint job, I am not sure. If you have any heat issues, (Haven't had this problem so far), then try heat reflecting self adhesive foil at places where you had that issue. I have done this to my sidepanels and airbox of my enduro bike. This protects very good against heat.
hi all i have a alloy tank on one of my bultacos im thinking about having it powder coated the paint thats on now has bubeld were the exhaust gose under the tank any addvice?
After blasting, I wash everything with warm, soapy water, dry immediately with compressed air, then paint.
Now...many high temp paints need to be heated quite soon after applying, AND they come off easily when handling before curing.
So whipping the top end right on and starting the bike can be a problem.
I heat parts with a propane torch, apply the paint and heat again.
You can see it cure.
hi thanks for the addvice im only havin the barrol and head done im doin the rest with nitromores. would be easy if the crank cases was in halfs but nothing is simple cheers
hi all whats the easyest way to prep my barrol and head for painting? i did the last one with paint stripper but that was pain stackin would it be ok if i justed cleand it with gunk and spray it ive got pj1. i was thinking of getting it grit blasted if i did whats the best way of protecting the barrol?
There is a fair bit of "flex" in the fork/yoke assembley. slacken the bottom yoke pinch bolts and mud guard brackets if you have any, bounce the forks up and down a few times to align every thing, if it doesnt look straight put the wheel again a wall and twist the bars until it looks ok , tighten the bottom yoke then the mud guard,
if its still not right some thing may be bent
hi thanks for your addvice ive sorted it i just undun the pinch bolts and put the wheel between my legs and strightened it job done. simple thing like this stop me from selling my 199A the buyer was put off it was my fault should have sorted it but for got about it never mind live and learn. glad really i didnt want to le her go spent to much money on her. goning out on her sunday for the first time just been up and down the road wheelis no probs. just got bing carb for my other bult
