Thanks, good to know that. For now, the small cavity behind the cover will be packed with light grease. A new seal should keep dirt out. One of the TYs has come up 'dead'. Like overnite it has zero spark. All the usual items has been tested again and again including coil, condenser, points, wiring a...

I can see why someone may miss that little ball as the parts list doesn't show it. It points only to the other half of the clutch rod but when you read the text, is lists the 3/16" ball. Call me next time you need a bit of aluminum as I have quite a lot of it. Just never know what you will find...

How does the SuperSport single compare compare to the twin?

Barry fired up his factory Bultaco racer after a bit of trouble with the starter. It sounded good. I was the burger flipper so didn't get a chance to take pics ...

I will be hosting a BBQ again on July 22nd at 2:30 pm for the Washington Vintage Motorcyclist group. I will be doing burgers and dogs and road kill. :lol: If any Olymoto riders want to attend post a response here or contact me. RSVP required. Bring or ride your vintage bike if you have one.
