fuel mixture ratio?
montesa cota 123
i found a montesa cota 123 in an old barn it has been sitting for seven
years when i tried it started for a few seconds. i am trying to find out
the correct fuel mixture before i try again if anyone could help i would
be very grateful
clearwater,ks
Use a modern twostroke oil and 30:1 should be
safe enough.
Also, check this page: twostroke

Montesa 1977 250 Enduro M54
I am hoping you could give me an idea of what this bike would be worth.
I reluctantly must part with this beast. 1977 Montesa 250 Enduro M54
in original condition.
Engine is 300cc but compliance says 250 and numbers match.
Complete bike except mud guards and seat is damaged. Engine needs rebuild.
Bike is partly disassembled. Curious as to how much someone might pay for
this bike. If its only worth a couple of hundred dollars then I will keep
it in the shed until I get time to play. All offers considered. Pics available
on request. You may email directly to
adriankyneuroptusnet.com.au
Sydney, Australia.
See the page on Classic
Motorcycle Prices
Can you tell me why the engine of this bike has 300cc on the side yet the
bike is complied as a 250? The engine number matches the compliance.
That possibly refers to the gearbox oil capacity.

revving
montesea 315
Engine revs increase and engine will not shut down even when throttle
is closed. Only occurs on hillsides after climbing. cable is new. Slide
does shut. Airleak somewhere?
Bradford
Is your cable kinked or trapped somewhere? Does
the outer appear to move freely when you tug it from the carby end?
Thanks,
Cable was not kinked BUT the right angle throttle cable feed to the
carb had been disturbed from its correct position. This was rectified,
the slider lubricated and the air-filter cleaned.
All now in order until I dump the Montessa in the stream again!

salve,sono in possesso di un montesa cota 349 immatricolato nel 1980.
mi continua a perdere olio dal perno del pignone e malgrado abbia cambiato
piu' volte il paraolio mi continua a perdere. forse monto un paraolio sbagliato,
mi sapreste indicare il tipo esatto di paraolio e dove recuperarlo.ho un
altro problema:dopo un po' che la moto e' accesa (al minimo) si spegne.ho
cambiato tutto l'impianto elettrico ma il problema persiste, credo che
il problema sia da imputare al carburatore che fa bagnare la candela.che
tipo di consiglio mi sapete dare?
grazie beppe.

alve, they are in registered possession of montesa
cota 349 in 1980. it continues to me to lose oil from the hinge of the

me to indicate the exact type of paraolio and where recuperarlo.ho an other
problema:dopo po' that an ignited motion e' (lessened) spegne.ho changed

can you date these 2 bikes for me??
Hi,
I am in the possesion of two montesa motorcyles through a death in
the family. I do not know anything about these two bikes but I have the
numbers off of the engines and was wondering if you could tell me what
they are. The numbers off the engines are as follows.
12m1214 I believe this one is a 175 Texas. but I dont know the year.
22m2294, I have no Idea what this bike is. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!!
July 11th 2005
Attached are some photo's of the Texas 175! There is one picture showing
the serial number from the other bike which is the 24m. I made a mistake
when I gave you the serial numbers the first time. I was wondering if you
would know what the fair market value would be for the 175 Texas?? I know
it needs some work but it is almost complete and it is running now! Any
information would be greatly
appreciated!!!
Could not date them, but would guess early 70s.
