Hi All,
I've just acquired a minibike from my father's estate, the bike was always at home but never used, there was a bit of history to it.
Anyway, its a 1971 Cam AM Bantam Bombardier - 50cc, I believe it has a GARELLI motor. The bike was restored about 10 years ago and is all original, except for some aftermarket indicators (I think).
I haven't started it as yet since I need some information, I was hoping that people here could help.
Firstly - What grade of oil should I be using in the engine ?
Secondly - I'm assuming that it's a two stoke, so what in the petrol to oil ratio I should use and again what grade of oil?
Thirdly - I'm assuming that I run it on 95RON petrol?
Lastly does anyone have a PDF version of the original manual?
I'm going to flush the petrol tank and clean the carburettor with carby cleaner, the tyres look in good condition and hold air, ait filter could do with replacement. I also be on the lookout for a new clutch cable and accelerator cable, as both have wear and tear.
I'm hoping to get it road worth and put it on historical/condition registration since it's 30 years old.
Thanks in Advance
