This is a known problem on this model, almost all 192.193's have casing repairs
due to chain slap, there is no chain tensioner  and from my understanding all
attempts at installing usual 5-speed chain tensioner result in it being torn off
with severe engine damage.

   Do you know why you are replacing chains so often? Just a weak point or is
something

great stuff, me Mum is from Birmingham, she came to the States after WWII.(my
Dad was posted there after being wounded the second time) she even worked at
BSA! one aunt still lives in England in a village named Devon. she is due to
arrive here in September, along with the oldest sister whom resides in New
Zealand. the aired DM here for a couple of years, great stuff.

the Panther sounds very cool and "British". there was alot of worthy bikes built
years back.un like the "appliances" they call motorcycles today, "what's your
favorite colour sir?"   thanks for the info. I feel smarter already today and

Good conversation, slightly drifting from topic but!!!!

Stephen,

I am English having been born and lived my whole life in southern England. I am
also British. (so my passport say's). Our nationality on this island changes
depending how our sporting hero's are doing. If for example Dougie Lampkin was
Scottish I would be British but as he comes from Yorkshire in England I use the
English tag. And yes my surname does match  Danger Mouses trusty assistant. I
used to get a lot of prank phone calls asking to speak to DM but these have
trailed of in recent years. I have a complete set of  DM annuals, purhaps I
should start a mailing list :-).

The Panther I refered to was a 1951 Panther Model 100. Made by P&M of
Clekheaton, Yorkshire, England (Does this make it British?) It was a road bike,
600cc Single cylinder 4 stroke. These bikes had a reputation for slow reving (
fire every lamp post was the joke) difficult to start as a vicious kickback and
would not handle without a sidecar. This last comment was a reference to the
last bike P&M produced the Model 120 which left the factotory set up for side
car work, but did not apply to the earlier models. I have lost count of the
times out on the Panther people would come up and say "a solo Panther, they
don't handle very well" to which my standard reply was always " with that
comment, it is obvious you have never ridden one!" I sold the Panther about 5
years ago when I decided to switch totaly from road to dirt bikes.

Dave,

You picked up on the number of Bultaco's. 6 sherpa's, 2 Pursang's and a
Frontera. Not counting the Trials Royal Enfield and my son;s Gasgas.

(M10, M49, M80, M185, M198, M199,M120, M207,M215) The M120 has been converted
right to left shift.

The main advantage of having this number of bikes in the garage is that if
another one turns up my wife never notices!

By my count you have five. :-)

And as those are in the majority, you should take the next step and convert the
other four.

Took over 4 years. I gave the bike a kick and it started. I ran it for about a
minuit and
stoped it. Rushing into the kitchen to tell my wife I got a bland "thats nice"

Hi all,
I am in the process of restoring my 1978 Sherpa T, and have recently
gotten quite a few parts from Hughs Bultaco in New York for the motor.
  Unfortunately, the parts ( bearings, seals,clips, washers, etc) they
sent were not marked with P/N's etc. So my mechanic has a bunch of
parts with my Bultaco books trying to put my motor back together.

Is there anyone in San Diego who has experience with these motors who
could lend a hand by either stopping by the shop and pointing out
which unmarked parts go where, or take on the job of putting my motor
back together?  I have the parts manual, parts list, and the owners
manual by the way.

Obviously I will be more than happy to compensate for the persons time
for either option.  My mechanic is a sharp guy, though he doesn't have
much experience on 29 year old motors.

Any help would be appreciated.  The shop and bike are in San Diego,
around the I15/I8 area.

Thanks all,
Jim

When you say English, do you mean you are British? and was not Danger Mouse's
trusty assistant named Penfold?  Panther??? would that be one of the odd little
two stroke dirt bikes once for sale here in the States that were found in full
page ads hiding in magazines such as Popular Mechanics and Cycle Guide? nine
Bultacos, very nice. worth a pretty shilling in G.B. no doubt.

I know exactly how you feel. When I got my Bul, I'd go out into the garage just
to look at it and touch it.

Cool Mike, those Pursangs are a blast aren't they?
   My wife was just as thrilled, especially after I got hurt racing the other
day.

   No,shifting the brake pedal does not work well. It really get's your 
attention when you're hauling arse and no matter how hard you press the  gear
shifter, nothing happens!

First the war of words spill over from the CZ forum onto TeamBultaco, then you
guys drag poor Gonz into it. For shame...

   Last thought. Soup, is it wise to talk smack to your sponsor?

I now have the complete write-up on how I sealed my tanks. They should be full
cured in
a few days.

Lessons:

Read the instructions carefully. Yeah, right. As long I am sporting a

I'll ever ask directions or read instructions. :-)

If you use POR15 get the 8 oz. can. I'd bet you could do two Bultaco tanks with
it. I got the
pint can and will probably toss half or so.

If the POR15 works as well as it's touted to it's probably better than the epoxy
type sealers
just because it's thinner (and thus lighter).

You may be able to mix the epoxy sealer as needed, which is something to
consider.

Acetone will conveniently remove the paint from the outside of you tank. The
paint on my
tanks are in "serviceable condition" so I didn't fret much. If you have a nice
tank you'd
want to mask it very carefully, probably with plastic as paper would just absorb
the
chemicals.
