An 0ld Monark super twin.

[Motobike1940]

I lucked into this cool old bike. It's been hidden away in an old bicycle shop in Chicago for the last 40 years. I really don't know too much about it. I just thought it was really smokin. Now I own it and would like to know what I have.
I will supply pics. What is it missing? Is it original and correct? Does anyone out there have parts? Any information would be welcome. Paperwork, manuals, ads? Thanks, Eric

Nice find, beautiful original. Easy light cleanup on that if you choose to. Not sure if I would though.

Anyone out there know what size, or brand spark plug a 1949 monark super twin motor bike should have? Opposed 2 cylinder engine. It came with a champion J-8 in front. The rear had a champion H-10.

Thanks for the reply. I definitely can use any appropriate parts that I am missing. The fuel tank is very clean inside. However, it does not have the tabs to mount it on the frame. I do have a beautiful fiberglass copy of the flywheel cover. Choke rod and knob are a must. I still would like to know what sparkplug this takes. My dad used to sell lawnmowers. OMC and they were J-8. Also are the plug wires a side mount configuration? I will send pictures as well.

Any parts or help you can give would be greatly appreciated. I can't get my pictures to load.
