General Discussion / Re: Donny Newell R.I.P.

My sincere condolences to Marie, Tom and the rest of the Newell family. I only just heard tonight of Don's passing.
He will be sadly missed by all Club Bultaco members, he attended most of our rallies and will long be remembered for his tales around the campfire of "the good old days" with Bultaco. It was a pleasure to know you Don - a real legend in Oz motorcycling.

Spaniards (Bultaco, Ossa, Montesa etc) / Re: bultaco kart engines

« on: November 13, 2013, 10:29:42 am »

G'day Jim
The Bultaco 250 kart engines in 1974 were externally the same as the "square" barrel Pursang moto-x engines, but fitted with a 5-speed close ratio gearbox with ratios basically the same as the early model Astros. all the 250's were model #55 but the engine numbers started at M-501018 (for the earlier "round" barrels, not sure of what number the "square" barrel engines started but they were all M-5). Try Bultaco Parts in Victoria for a copy of the parts book. Not sure of power output but standard would be around 38hp at ~9500 rpm, same as the Pursang (higher for the Astro).
Hope this helps.
