74 mz ts 150 wiring help

Is that a Barkas I can see hiding in your garage? Welcome to the MZ disease... Ive lost count of the number Ive got!

hey metric did you ever get a chance to take those pics??

[metric]

No, ghost, sorry. But I need to go to my storage garage tomorrow and I'll make a point of taking some pictures then. I hope to post them tomorrow evening.

I hope this helps, Ghost. I didn't want to remove the seat if it wasn't necessary as I don't like the risk of damaging paint or fasteners. As I'm sure you know, it's impossible to remove and reinstall the side cover and "leave no trace". What I can see up under the seat is a multi-pin plug, presumably feeding the rear lights. I tried to take a picture up in there but it's so fuzzy as to be useless.

Yes Che, it's a Barkas B1000 from 1987.

The Barkas has always been on my 4-wheeler wish list. That and a Tatra. And maybe a DKW Schnellaster. And a Munga............

Nope better stick with the bikes and the 2CVs!

The Tatra is parked behind the Barkas. Schnellasters are lovely, but the Barkas has much more exotic suspension. Munga too military for me.

Sorry metric my last problem is my brake lighting. I need a good shot of the wiring harness under seat plus having the brake relay in picture as well. You would thing it would just be color to color but i dont believe it is and there are alot of black wires gets confusing . It would be of great help thanks ghost

I have two mz ts 150, I know it's out of topic but I want to ask if there is any gasket for the head, When I purchased mine it didn't have one and now I don't know what to do.

[metric]

The parts catalogue does not show a head gasket.

i have seen several motors that had no head gasket..
but forget what the were its been years ago
but think it was some with very low compression ratios
one old 2 smoker i had we made the gasket from a piece of number 12 copper wire
and soldered the ends together ....

According to an MZ dealer I asked some years ago, they don't have a cylinder head gasket. Just ensure that the mating surfacesare unmarked and level, and use a non hardening gasket cement.
