Thank you for our reply. Unfortunately your photograph show the correct type of timing cover. My cover is the whole length of the right hand crankcase, covering the drive sprocket. I think a photograph of mine would be an advantage to identify it Thank you, Peter Lee (Cornwall)

I have a 1981 Montesa 248 Cota. Engine No 21 M 51176. I need to replace the right hand timing case. I have looked at the parts manual and it indicate just a timing cover with a plastic chain guard above the front sprocket. The cover fitted to my engine is the whole length of the right hand crankcase and originally covered the front sprocket. It has a cut out at the front which perfectly matches the rubber grommet where the ignition leads exits. Does anyone Knows what Montesa model this timing cover comes from ?. The retaining screws all line up perfectly and the casing has the Montesa motif on it. Before I remove the damaged part are there any internal numbers that may assist. Regards, Peter Lee (Cornwall)

Can I fit a counter balance weight from a 349 onto a 248 Crankshaft. The 248 has a part no 5160 171 02, whilst the 349 part no is 5160 171 03 Failing the conversion can anybody suggest where I can obtain a new or second hand 248 counter balance weight. Thank you.

Thanks for the idea but frame down-tubes both broken and welded up prior to my sale and unknown to me. Frame has gone in several directions ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the information but I'm trying to find the production date/production numbers of the Montesa-Honda MH349 produced between 1982-1984 Thank you

Have enjoyed green laning in Cornwall for the past years until put the 81' Montesa 248 Cota in a river. Frame broken !!!!!!!!!. Now have a Montesa Honda Frame to replace the damaged article. Frame Number MH349 -00634. Has anybody got any info on to its production date. Have exhausted my brain cells going down the Jim Sandiford, Honda uk route to no avail. If you have a frame number near mine your date of production/registration would help me to get a Reconstructed Registration number.
