    MZ ETZ 250 Clutch

    in Old Motorbikes, Projects and Restorations

    Posted

    Was wondering if anyone can help, currently rebuilding an 87 MZ ETZ 250 and all has gone well aside from the clutch. The clutch is assembled and fitted and so is the left hand case and its components. However, when I pull the clutch cable and the retaining arm slides out of the worm, it feels as though it is not making contact with the clutch assembly as there is no pressure. Any suggestions would be very helpful as this is the only thing stopping the bike from working 100%!

    hello fellow mz owner.did u adjust plate with 3 screws correctly? :cheers:

    Bought mz with mikuni carb fitted..idle screw was screwed right in and doesn't seen to do much ..revs low at idle until u lift slide via cable adjust in top of carb.....my question is it seems to be runner rich maybe but bloke I got bike off is running premix 40:1 rather than 50:1 it should be would that make it run rich or weak ( as in fuel quantity rather than oil )due to 40:1 ratio ????? Answers on a postcard please lol :bang: :crybaby:

    I might have some parts for the T1. Can't remember if I got rid or not.

    I had fork sliders; tool box cover; some fork seals; engine fin rubbers; etc.


    I'll have a looksee tomorrow.


    :cheers:

    Thanks mate ..been busy picking them up.need a few things one being side stand for 16" rim and few gaskets for side cover leak.all for the ts .etz sold and away ,but ts staying with me .I have a set of panniers homemade I don't want ,its idle screw is not doing much and I suspect its running rich due to blocked air passage or needle to low ..its been fitted with a mikuni carb to make it a rad more snappy .great bike so far :bike2: :cheers:

    Deal done ..now hooked on mzs lol

     

    That's the spirit . Wait till you see what's inside the headlight . Looks like something out of an old telephone exchange. Everything is just so different . And that's the joy of the MZ . Be very careful with the brakes , especially in damp weather . They can grab so fiercely that they will have you off .

    mate has just finished restoring one so have seen the wiring inc headlamp junctions..and wrong codes for wiring and wrong lengths lol....crazy bikes but that's the appeal..like the speedo cable running from rear sprocket !!! :bang: :scratch:

    Taste is personal thing, that looks awful to me.

     

    Perhaps you would prefer the standard Trophy version ? Or would the 125 be more to your taste ? I had two of these . Communist technology at its finest .

    one bike is a ts just like lower photo...ugly,slow,Smokey, pish people off in traffic, weird ....sounds lovely :raspberry: :seeya:

    To be fair I am very much a rookie biker and have only been riding since August 2018 so I am very much lacking in experience; I couldn't comment on lifestyle marketing or fancy makes or different groups, however to me a bike is a bike and its just an interest of mine. 8-)


    As for anybody that doesn't want to chat etc. - fair enough, we're not all sociable types, that's their bag. :angel12:

     

    Some people get bikes and talk about freedom and individuality as being primary motivation to get one.


    Then spend the rest of their life trying to belong and fit in to a particular segment of the market!


    Even down to wearing the same f@cking branded clothing!


    15 years ago the Beemer crew weren't impressed by my tatty jeans and steel toe caps! Even less when I wore my battered 25 year old leather jacket as well! :lol:

    And you know what......I'm still wearing them today! While their official brand merchandise has fallen apart!

    I like the Alan bast*rd impression lol... :lol:
