Would anyone know where I could get a clutch part for montesa cota 247, I'm looking for the part that pushes the clutch plates in ,its the small round plate with 3 legs that sits on the clutch basket

any know where I can get a workshop manual for montesa cota 247, I have the parts manual but need the strip down manual, having a bit of trouble selecting gears, have just got new clutch plates and springs , and selector return spring ,not fitted yet

I have seen the plate didn’t want to go at it until I got some info, thanks very much

Hi , I have bought a new rim and spokes and have my old back wheel ready for relaceing but I have to remove the hub brake liner to get at the spoke holes in the hub anyone done this before , how is it done. Bultaco Sherpa 350

Hi lads, has anyone ever tried to lace up a back wheel, if so when your on the brake drum side how do you get the brake liner that’s in the hub out so as to get access to the spoke holes , any ideas as I’m bringing it to a shop to relace but I might have to get the liner out first ???

A reasonabley bad buckle, spokes are bad other wise I don’t think it’s to bad. A new wheel and spokes is about 230 stg then the rebuild not sure what to do

Hi lads, my back wheel is in a sorry state anyone know if a good second wheel can be got

Had a fair idea that was going to be the case,wont be easy

I think I might be ok with the engine as the previous owner said every time he walked past the bike in the garage he turned over the engine with the kick start, hopefully things will be ok , having a big problem getting the swing arm bolt out, I can turn the bolt slightly but can’t drive it out I suspect its bent but it won’t budge hammered the **** out of it and not a budge may have to try and cut the head off the bolt and try and drive it out from the opposite side

I haven’t ridden this one yet as I got it not running so won’t know for a while what it’s like, I have no history on the bike so don’t really how it was put together, previous owner done a reasonably big job on the engine big ends and so on did a few miles on it and left it in a shed for about 8 years so who knows what’s ahead of me

The man that I got the bike from thought it might be 1972 model, maybe the engine is 1972

Great thanks very much so when I’m ordering parts for the engine is it a 199A

i seem to have ENG No JM18301632 and frame no JB19910720 as I haven’t checked it myself only going on the numbers that the previous owner put on the workshop manual , does the engine number make any sense to you . Regards Ciaran

Thanks everyone for your help,how do i find out the exact model of my bike
