Well after last night's monumental success, starting is now imminent! The exhaust, as shown here, is now mounted and finalized!
The only thing keeping her from starting now is the drying out of the fuel tank and mixing the fuel. There was some difficulty removing a pine cone from the inside of the fuel tank but all is good now. I am also informed by Karl, as per Southwest Montesa, the fuel mixture is 42:1. A bit odd of a mixture but what should one expect for 1972?! Other input that we have had say as high as 30:1. I guess we will have to dink with it a bit. Update: mix is 20:1.
The only thing holding us back from starting is the master link on the chain so we can push start her.
I had to manufacture the exhaust gasket. Here is the video:
Rode my first ever trial on one of these, we allways used 25:1, good page BTW ;o)
