ETZ 251 for sale Sutton Coldfield
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2015 3:58 amHello folks, I have a story and a bike that fits in to it very well.
I have a G reg MZ ETZ 251 that came to me in a bit of a ruff condition and was not running and looked like it has been in a garage for a long while. 16,295 miles
As I was from a friend and as I had a good bit of time to kill I decided to have a play with it.
I did all the following works over a period of 6 months and then moved to Australia and left it behind to use when I got back, as I now have a permanent visa got Australia it is not fair to have this sitting in my parents garage so as I am back for a while have it up for sale.
The pictures below have been taken today but have all the progress pictures of the rebuild on my other phone so will add them as soon as possible.
The bike was a non runner with no power anywhere but I managed to get it going with a new condenser, setting the points (if that's the correct terminology) and getting a a new spark plug, fuse board and carb clean.
It is a sad day that i need it sell it but it is too nice to leave in the garage.
I hope this is ok with the moderators but I am open offers as don't want a lot of this bike just want it to go to a good home. That is why I am advertising it on here and not gumtree etc. So please do contact if you are interested I am a honest guy who just wants my bike to go to good home. Was last on the road 1989 lol
