Bultaco Alpina rear wheel  

I started with an engie I was told to havea fresh top end which was absolutely correct. However, knowing the bike had been sitting for an undetermined period of time, with an unknown history, I thought it would be worthwhile to:

  • check the bottom end
  • Inspect the overall condition
  • install all new seals and gaskets

Clutch and a John Deere size flywheel. I was impressed with the quality of design, materials and workmanship

Compared to the Japanese two-strokes of the time, the shape of the case around the transfer area seems a bit primitive.

I tried a new technique for cleaning the cases

  • 400 grit sand paper
  • 1000 - 1200 grit sand paper
  • light buffing with a drill and Flitz polish
