CZ / Re: CZ 1973 front forks set up

I never go off a quantity in any of my forks, in both CZs 150mm from the top when compressed works well. I do have the Motox-fox replica aluminium damper rods in both bikes

Should be a copy of the G.E.M catalogue in the manuals section if you're after a model number, can look tomorrow if it's not there anymore

Jetting seems close to what I used when my bike was still piston port except I ran a 45 pilot jet, can strip down the carb & confirm tomorrow

Yeah I have the 74 parts book as well, the 73 manual from bear motorsports has the parts book in the back as well so it's well worth getting, also have their sidepiper manual

Clutch seal is 50x65x8  The seal I have sitting here has 2 lips, 1 at each side

O-ring for clutch hub is 26x2
O-ring for primary gear that seals the clutch basket is 35x4
O-ring for kickstart shaft that sits inside the cover is 20x2

Hope that helps

I use a viton seal for the clutch, deals with heat better than the normal nitrile seals. Can't remember the size at the moment but know like all the seals & o-rings they are available from most bearing or seal suppliers
I feel that where the leak generally comes from is not the seal but the o-ring on the back of the clutch hub, the step that the o-ring sits on is larger than the o-ring thickness so all the sealing work has to happen on the outside diameter. I modified my sidepiper clutch by having the step ground down to 1.9mm & a new thicker washer made to keep the stack height the same, basic idea was to sandwich the o-ring, so far it's worked perfectly
I have a look in my parts book on Wednesday for the sizes if you want

Looks like you're right Scott

www.4speedsforward.com has the Grand Prix motorcycles shop manual that shows the part numbers for the 73 models even though the rebuild stuff is for the 72 & earlier models

If CZMadness is still up you'll find it there, other option is to get a hard copy from bear motorsports

Do you reckon you could get them delivered to me by next Wednesday? Flying to Melbourne on Thursday which would really cut down both the postage cost & time

Copper transfers heat quite well which is why it's used on the base of cookware, have TIG welded copper before & it takes longer to get the heat in but once up to temp it retains more meaning you have to move quicker
Aluminium head gaskets are meant to be single use & can't be annealed unlike copper

Not that hard to do an oval bore carb, have a couple of 30mm Oko d-slide carbs that use the 28mm body then offset 2mm towards the top & use the same setting on the boring head. The bore is technically more a figure 8 & behaves like a 28mm at lower openings but wide open is 30mm high by 28mm wide

Falta model 250s are 980 series, the 513 is the later centreport motor that doesn't have a rear transfer port.
Luckily most parts are the same, pistons & rod kits are the common to all but the twinports. Main difference with the Falta & 513 model 250s to earlier 980 models is the internal rotor ignition which use a different sized taper on the crank. Pre73 models also use a taperlock in the primary drive gear instead of a keyway
Clutch parts are common with all 980,981 & 984 motors, the 513 uses a different dry clutch with a large number of small fingers, it can be fitted but needs the primary drive gear & clutch gear as the basket screws to the gear rather than using the special nut to retain it
Parts are extremely easy to get, CRHighperformance is the nearest place in the US & is great to deal with, in the UK CZStuff is good, I also use Etovar.cz for a lot of the smaller parts. There is a company in Poland I've dealt with a few times that has multiple eBay accounts

most of the old Photos were hosted thru a site called Photo Bucket which was a host ( 3rd party ) ...but was shut down a few years  ago .

Photobucket still exist but doesn't have free accounts anymore that allow sharing to websites, Zuckerberg strikes again
