bultoboy Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 i used to have a cota 247 and also tried to find an electronic ignition......i found a lot of people with useless advice and the man who was ment to be developing a electronic ignition never completed it. i did however come across a man who made his own and it sounded like a lot of work with miling new fly wheels and thats sort i only saw him the once dunno what happened to him or what happend to the system. the man who may know is a guy called dave renham who runs bultaco uk he has now however created in motion which covers twinshocks of all makes here is the contact info Tel: 01784 440033 Fax: 01784 440048 info@inmotiontrials.com and a link to the web site http://www.inmotiontrials.com/ good luck mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeves Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi bultoboy: In fact I know Dave, but never think about him selling Montesa parts. I have a very nice and original 247 and the big headache is the ignition. In fact I never use it because of that. Also know some people trying to sell useless ignitions.... Thanks for your help.

greeves Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi Ross: As you know; the more trials bikes you want to keep ready for competition, the bigger headaches you normally get. I have actually 9 bikes ready for competition (quite a big headache), all of them with electronic ignitions except this very nice Montesa Cota 247 Mk-3 (the one with the big tank and grey frame, left brake and right gear lever). I love this Pre-72 bike, it is 100% original and never restored, and works soooo good. But only when it is dry or slightly wet. When conditions are tough ignition always fail. I have chequed seals, whires etc. etc. but it is always the same, and really would like to forget about it if I can find an electronic ignition. I am quite happy with the rest of the bikes I have ready to go (including 4 Bultaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
