Hi there
I have just bought a TS125 (1978). I am new to MZ, and always loved the old TSs. It has been off the road for a year or two and needs a few jobs. The tank is 1/4 full of rotten smelling fuel, the front brake cable is snapped and the exhaust downpipe is rusty.
Any advise from any TS owners would be great..
thanks
Andy
PS I will add some pics soon

Hi Andy!

Whereabouts are you? Is that a Luxembourg flag?
Starting with the tank, empty it out, Give it a good swill round remove the fuel tap and give it a good clean. If there is corrosion in the tank you can fit an inline filter between the tap and carb. The brake cable can be bought from Guesi http://www.mzsimson.de or http://www.ost2rad.com as can a new downpipe. Or in the UK http://www.themzshop.co.uk/ should be able to help
