I got a TS150 for £10 back in 1991,
easily the worst brakes on any bike I have ever ridden.
But many clever bits of practicality built into it.
Still have the hand pump somewhere.

My first ever bike after the inevitable FS1E was a D14/4 bantam. Since then I've had a 955i tiger, a ZX9R and everything in between but I keep looking at late bantams, and MZs!

Go on, get one........... We could start a club

I have a Maxim 700 that has been sitting for three years and needs putting back to roadworthiness first. Then I'll sell it and be very tempted!

Yesterday evening I've bought this on Amazon .
Thought it would be interesting to have a technical reference while working on the 126p.
I most likely don't need it, cause I'm going to modify most of it .
Starting from the suspensions changing the struts attack angles, the frame adding structural reinforcements practically everywhere close to attack points (it's already a great frame) to the engine by completely forging it.
The transmission too implementing a mechanical sequential shifting mechanism which doesn't do much more than use a plate to move the selectors (quick short precise).
Brakes etc

Anyway move on this

Below one of my husky power cutter videos on YouTube
A guy commented it should have millions likes .
I've abandoned the project because wasting time finding solutions etc
Anyway I've started looking for K760 intake plates , realised that there are 2 different types ...
Wide ports which is what's on my k770
And narrow or slim ports which is presumably the one which fits correctly on the aftermarket cylinder I've installed on my consaw .
Obviously discontinued model ,no parts available other way...
The only one I've found online was on eBay and it's coming from the USA .
I've wasted enough time and energy on this consaw but I believe it turned out to be a personal challenge and I'd like to make my subscribers happy so why not dance this last tango

Re the husky intake plates there are indeed 2 types.

Pre 2012 I think is the cut off for the narrow style. Then they go wider. And the narrow ones are impossible to find now.

To compound the issue aftermarket cylinder suppliers do not say which type they are selling!! Idiotic really and in some cases when I asked suppliers to measure and tell me what type of cylinder they are offering they declined and were confused why and what I was asking.

Your best bet is to trawl ebay for used carbs with intake assemblies and to be sure ask the vendor to measure the gap between ports.

Which is probably the wall I've found through my way .
My husky is 2 years old, everything on it says 2022
So it's a newer model.
I've bought the cylinder on eBay and didn't know anything about this detail.
Good information which I'll share on the final video of this consaw.
If I didn't looked for a 760 intake I wouldn't never even know about this change in design.
Thanks a lot for that.
I have "now" both plates and this would solve the problem with this saw

Brother gave me a green MZ, pretty sure it was a 175cc same style, if felt massive when I was 16.
Felt massively uncool as well trying to pull the birds & trying to catch up with the LC350 brigade - I'd have it back tho.

Aye you wouldn't be found dead on an mz back in the day. Thankfully being cool and fitting in are no longer a priority.

 

[Memmeddu]

It has to be mine
Waiting for a seller response wish me good luck

A couple of packs of Kinzo paintbrushes, £16 for 15 brushes. Not as lovely as a good brush but much better than the usual disposables.

Can't tell from the angle, air cooled or water cooled?

I bought a load of 1" wide brushes for a few quid - embossed with 1" on the ferrule . . . measured a nice round 20mm across

Still do exactly what I wanted them for though.

Springs arrived from Harlow springs. Identical to the original ones. Really impressed . Have asked if possibly they used to make them for Hitachi Seiki because the similarity is uncanny

Not a lot you can do different if the rate, the wire size and the ID or OD are the same - same old Hooke's law applies to whoever makes them.

Air cooled FSM
Dashboard tell us is an FSM
Front fenders tell us is post 1987 because their wider arches the same of the bis water cooled with 13" rims
Windscreen frame tell us it's air cooled do to the lack of vents for the heater.
Rear vents are deceptive cause they seem to be the narrowed style typical of the earlier models.
FSM usually have bigger vents because they used the same parts for the bis which has bigger rear vents.
Colour if is its original one tell us is one of the late production 126 for the Italian market.
Shame it's impossible to find the IE version of this one which was the happy ending FSM maluch Polsky FIAT 126P .
Produced in bright colours like green Yellow Red and orange in the late 90's early 2000's
This model has EFI and CAT

Anyway seller didn't give me a response yet, I'm kinda upset

....Produced in bright colours like green Yellow Red and orange in the late 90's early 2000's...

Ah yes, like these!

I took these pictures at the NEC Classic Car Show last year.

What was the price tag in the end?

What about the stretched version?

Here's possible to see what I mean for larger rear vents
