I'm not exactly sure what I'll do with it- but maybe a loaner bike for awhile...

Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2014 9:56 amMy only trials bike was a 68' Bultaco Sherpa T. I had a lot of fun until I had a getoff in a rough section where somehow I stepped on the back wheel which pulled my foot in behind the shock. Another rider pulled the spark plug wire off to kill the motor and help me get my broken foot out. I sold the Sherpa to a young kid who went on to be a District 18 champ several times.

I fired the bike up, smoked like it was going out of style.
Had a fair amount if leak down also.
I understand it is pretty common on these to carbon up the rings so they stick.
So I out some Kroil I the cylinder and let it sit for awhile.
Fired it up again, almost no smoke! I didn't do another leak down test yet, but I think it will be ok for what I'm going to do with it.
