petert Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Surely a j reg will be 1970-71? GWU if definately a Yorkshire reg though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajsm18 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I took this picture of a Daleman Lynx with Sachs 125 engine at a Ringwood Schoolboy Scrambles Club meeting at Matchams Park in the mid-70s, probably 1976 or 1977. I've never been much good at photography! I did have a Dalesman Sachs of my own at the time but don't have any pictures. It was a separate tank and seat in contract to this one. Good luck with your rebuild. It would be nice to see some pictures sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geurn Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) ajsm18 thank you, that is my exact bike although sold here in the states. Mine is a six speed Puch instead of the Sachs and there are a few important pieces missing in the motor. There have been a couple of partial engines on ebay but out of my price range.

ajsm18 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 You're welcome, geurn. My friend had a Puch-engined Dalesman when I had mine. Unfortunately, the chain jumped off the gearbox sprocket and wrapped itself around it, forcing the gear lever shaft away and cracking the crankcase! I imagine spares aren't very plentiful for either Puch or Sachs engined bikes but I thought there was a dealer in the states somewhere.
