Hi gordon
I must admit that,the wassell that i ride at present does seem a little loud ,but nobody has ever moaned ,apart from the neighbours when i have a little practice in the back garden (I think thats back yard USA )
I have tried diffrent silencers ,but the little thing just don`t rev out !!
As for photos of wassell 2 ,you will have to give me a little time
But i will ASAP

Thanks Gary

hey gordon
nice photo mate
good to see another wassell in action!!!!

Never seen a bantam powered wassell (only pictures)
but i have never seen another wassell,full stop !!!!!
never seen another sachs motor in a trials bike,
I do think thay are all a rare this side of the pond
Do have another project in the garage,a saracen frame which in the
late 60's was converted to except a sachs 125 motor

To answer you question, frame numbers are
W 935 ST
W 823 ST

I am riding 823 tomorrow in competition:D (only wassell !)

thanks again
GARY

Hope thay are ok and you can see them ?
Thanks to gordon with photobucket help
Paul thank you for kind welcome message,And yes both my wassell's
look like that(not as shiney YET !),thay both have rectangular ex-port,but the first one has had conversion to the front pipe

DANE thay did say you new your stuff ,and yes you are right !!!!!
dug out my box of bits and found flywheel with right numbers and taper, sorted

Thanks to you all again,
GARY

Sorry i did not know the oil-pump thing would start such a stir!!!
RON(and mr throwchain) When i can work out how post photos on to the site i will be more than happy to show you the pump & case
DANE The motoplat system 9600162 that i was trying to fit came off my other wassell 5b and i had ridden with it untill it expired?
PAUL Thanks for all your help and advice, dont know how old it is? but it has a bronze bush in the top of the con rod
Just found out tonight the wassell front pipe dont fit onto the barrel!!!
lastly the motor no:5499134 that we have talking of, has yet to be started  from new!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks to you all:)
GARY

Yes sir,it was built with oil pump ,sits just foward of the clutch and the crankcase is approx 1/2" wider at that point
and it has OIL INJECTION cast into the caseing
all very different to all the other motors i have!!

Sorry again for delay in reply to your posts
firstly ,as i said ron the motoplat flywheel center is a bigger bore than the end of the crank on my motor.
As i was trying to replace old points system with a motoplat system


Dane,thank you for your info !
The model number on motoplat flywheel i was trying to fit is
9600162, but the bosch flywheel that came off is 0212-124-014
I think that the motor is an early model 1251/5a as it has standard fitment oil pump! ,engine no :5499134
do you have any idear what year ??

thanks again to you all for your help:)
Gary

no it's off sashs motor  I purchased a while ago ,My other 1251/5a motor that I use came with motoplat! ?

Glen, Thanks again for your reply . Any chance of some photos of that head and also the rest of your bike!! I am hoping to make a new , wider Ali  oval tube swing arm , modern 4.00 tires to close to chain and guard, Also just picked up purpose made progressive fork springs.         Thanks Gary

Thanks to you guy's for your replys

Looks like i'll need to find me a PUCH head!
Glen could tell which head i need,off which motor !
And yes lew,Its a very big jump to 2nd

I will at some point post some pic's of both bikes,when i can
work out how to do it?
I've had enough trouble typing these messages (one very slow finger at a time)

Gordon, thought i was the only one that looking at it
Three things i have done to 1st wassell (that work for me)
1 Replaced the 12" rear shocks with 13" ,this makes it turn tighter
2 Incresed the lenght of front brake arm by 1/2"
3 The clutch now runs with only 6 springs,3 standard + 3 1/3rd lighter which we had made.you only one finger now!!

We had the 74 tooth rear made by talon


Thanks again for your responses
Gary

hey guys
could any of you good people help me
I need know if anyone has cut open a wassell/mudlark silencer
and whats inside?,as the one on my 2nd wassell has been cut open and gutted by the previous owner,and i dont want to cut open the other one on wassell 1
I am thinking of making an ali copy ?
Wassell 2 is well on the way(thanks to you chaps for advice)
The 38mm forks are on and the ali swingarm nearly finished with new shock positions 67mm foward

Just tried to fit my freshly rebuilt motoplat mini six ignition to my points model 1251/5a and as far as I can see , the end of the crank is smaller !                                                       Can anyone help !!!                                                                                                               Gary

Being new to the site, I would like to say hi to everyone and also thanks, in anticipation of the help you may be able to offer.

My name is Gary I live in the UK. I am the proud owner of 2 Wassells, the first of which I regularly use in twin-shock trials. The second, I have only recently purchased and in the process of rebuilding. Both machines run the sachs 1251/5A engine. If anyone can help me with the following questions, it would be much appreciated.

I am currently running 12 front, 74 rear sprockets, but can still only really use first gear, it will not drag me in second. Has anyone played with gearbox internals to achieve a better trials gearbox?

Has anyone played with inlet tract lengths (maybe longer),and or ports? Is there any gain in polishing?

I am currently using a Bing 1/24/153 carb on bike 1, it seems to work fine but on bike 2 I am thinking of trying a more modern carb, maybe Dellorto from GasGas 125, any suggestions?

Bike 1 is running the Motoplat mini 6 ignition system, it s3ems to work fine but are there any other options?

I have been told that I matbe should fit a Puch 125 head to up the bhp???

Any other info for this engine regarding trials, would be gladly received.

many thanks

Gary
