cabby Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ask if its had the stator replaced and how many times. Ask if its had the water pump seals replaced. Those were the main issues of that era I believe. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty19 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks for that, is that about the only main issues with them, what does it cost for stator repair if needed Thanks Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montesarepsol777 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Okay for starter bike-old bike now and so dated but still performs well if previously looked after. Poor spark so difficult to start leads to replacement stator also water pump needs checking. Call beta uk for prices they are very helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty19 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 gave it a good look over and all is well, started first kick and stopped it and restarted it with no problems, stalled it and it restarted i bought it as a toy realy, too old to compete nowadays lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 sorry im a bit off topic also have a beta 250 can i put putoline 4+ 15 50w in i know its 4 stroke tranny oil but will it be fine in my beta new to the game cheers all No, it is way too thick. It would cause a lot of clutch drag. ATF was usually used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty19 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 When you get it started from cold pull in the clutch but don't put it in gear and the plates will separate Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
