Back to the Steppes in a beautiful winter day. The goal was ambitious: it was shut down the engine of the Cota 247, José María with new housings supplied by good old John Haberbosch, and finish the engine "arregladito" of the Impala.
started with the bike José María, stuffing the casings in the oven to get new bearings. The furnace is one in which years ago got an escape to dry the paint and my wife nearly killed me, but now is in the shop after having given years of service at home. The fact is that since at 180 degrees for twenty minutes ago to put new bearings as simple as dropping them.
And that's where things went well. Even properly lasted a little longer, because we are ready to mount the shafts, sprockets and rollers of the change. The problem arose when I put the boot shaft. As I was scaling of the previous problems that we had, I thought "present" outside the cap on and try to turn the handle. The disappointment was great: that did not fit or dead. I took out another top drawer thinking had changed as well, and same result: the shaft was too short for the lever. So keep an eye beat my own drum major, to discover that the original boot shaft had been replaced by a shorter one. When I got home confirmed that indeed, the original axis of the MkI has numbering 11M (from Montesa Trial 250), and is different from that used in later models. So I had to leave the first engine parked waiting for John to send us a new axle, and got his hand to Impala.
For some unknown reason, on this engine, the main shaft are blinded not to enter the bearing 6204 which should be in the left case. We know that now, but this conclusion motivated us to make three thousand tests to get out why not close the damn motor. And since we were pretty tired, we decided to apply physics to the fullest. Bearing heated for about one hour at 180 degrees, is inserted into the shaft was cold, so that falls into place. Once done, cool the bearing and shaft well lubricated, is given to the accommodation of the 6204 torch on the left case, and to heck. After the closing
Impala engine "for the criminal," we decided that we were looking Cota 200, and the evening was a darling to pass up pissed off at a workshop for lack of parts. So we took the 200 and 330, we had a little gas, a pair of kicks each, and the street. Motorcycle half hour was enough to convince us that our physical form is reprehensible, and if we run Robregordo, we better leave the workshop as soon as possible and tired of handlebar. That
yeah ... How nice is the 200! I've used very little, and continues with the horrible double seat that came from Italy. But I think it's an ideal bike for my child finishes released this spring. See if there is opportunity.
