@@Rusty_E28 With pleasure! Glad I could help 😁

@@rikardbjork3491 not sure what it's called actually, but it's used to keep the membrane from pulling to far in/out.

Hi Rikard. I just had another look, this is the part you need: solexmarkt.com/Plastic-seating-Solex-fuel-pump

@@hansturpyn5455 Yeah I've read about it and wanted to try it aswell. Did you print the fuel pump membrane?

I see. I don't the weight will be that far off. I would have to put them on the scales to be 100% sure though

I had to look it up, never heard of it, but it looks cool! 🤣

@@VintageGarageYT 3 gears transmision

@@BS3S Awesome!

Haha yes I've done that as well before 🤣. But you need to have access with the angle grinder of course! I also have a fs1 2RT 😉

Glad I could help! 😁

I recently received the article from another follower with those tests. Very interesting article! As far as I remember the ignition was set correctly, but later on I swapped it for an HPI ignition. Recently though the piston destroyed itself so it no longer runs, sadly enough. I was still looking for the missing power. Also these were short acceleration tests doing a 400m sprint, not a top speed run. It did go 75-80 when going all out on a long road

99% of them only go 25 km/h which is 15mph. Where do you get that "officially" from?

Classic 2 stroke! 🥰

Hi there. This should be it: 210-780-00-89-MBZ

Thank you!

Good work mate.

​@@jarrydhouston3879Thanks!

It's a speed test, trying to be as fast as possible 😅

80-85 kmh completely stock

It is a true engineering marvel this bike!

In the meantime I did find some small things that could've been improved and some of them did help. The biggest one being swapping the mikuni carb for a dellorto. I have big suspicion the original carb has been tampered with. I'm suspecting the needle and the emulsion tube don't match. I have some new carbs to test, but I'm making some plans to actually make my own small dyno so I can properly test it! But I'm lacking some time currently. I'm slowly gathering parts and ideas to complete it 😁

The little ink cartridges for refillable pens have a little plastic ball in them. It's one of those balls you need

@@VintageGarageYT Thank you very much.

​@@VintageGarageYT I think I found a 60 pack of standard international refills with a 2.6 bore end. That would make sense if the ball is 2.7mm. I think I'll go ahead and order them. I have 2 impex solexs that I'm going to do rebuilds on as soon as my parts kits arrive. One is more sluggish than the other so I'm going to be rebuilding the carbs and at least cleaning the fuel pumps and want to be sure I have an extra set of balls just in case.

@@PhonePhone-sf8te That's a good call. Never hurts to have some spares!

Can't recall. It's a tube I had laying around from a car engine rebuild. Popular one you can look for is yamabond

Yeah it went pretty wel. I think it ran a bit better than my other one

Thank you! Much appreciated! Yeah the italian bikes are something different 😅. You think a set of Mikuni's would be better? I will have a look around for some. Although a fun bike, the japanese bikes are just better I think 😅

@VintageGarageYT early gt250 has 26mm carbs. The last of the gt250 (A,B,C models) have 28mm carbs, these were the 32hp bikes. Just check the diameter of the carb inlets to the engine. Much more spares available for the Mikuni especially in the Netherlands. Thanks for your reply and a big thumbs up for the Benelli.

@@overlandworld2253 Thank you! Will definitely have a look! Parts for these bikes are available at a German supplier, I bought a new carb housing there last summer, cause one of mine was completely messed up. I also rebuilt them and the bike responds better. Will measure them up and perhaps look for one size up.

ah ok. I watched until the end. lol. Now I see about the misfiring.

@@PauldelRosario Hi there! The YB1 is I think a later model, based on the fs1. I even think you can get them here with a 4 stroke engine. The clutch is indeed a weak point on these engines, what kind of problems do you have?

Thanks for the reply. I JUST picked up a used one today. I really didn't need much to press the clutch lever. Very similar to your video. The lever was close to the hand grip. I bought this to learn how to ride a manual transmission bike as I'm used to riding Super Cubs. I forgot to press the clutch once going from 2nd to 3rd, and it kind of engaged, so I thought it was weird. That's when I started check UA-cam for videos. Now, the clutch lever is "usual" (I also adjusted from the handle bars), but now I hear this light screeching sound. Too tight somewhere? Clutch plates?? I don't remember hearing it, but I could be wrong. I watched your other video too and you said it was slipping. As this is the first time for me to ride a manual bike, I really don't know what that feels like, so it's a learning curve for me. As it was already night here in Tokyo, and I don't have a garage, I'll check this out tomorrow morning. BTW, mine is this 1996 model www.bikebros.co.jp/catalog/2/92_1/#spec_top Helpful channel you've got and nice collection of bikes. @@VintageGarageYT

Will open up the side of the engine tomorrow and take a peek at the spring and worm screw.

@@PauldelRosario Thanks man! Much appreciated! A slipping clutch is easy to tell this way: when in 3rd or 4th at low rpm, fully open the throttle and pull through the gear. If the engine starts going up in rpm but the speed stays the same, thats a slipping clutch. Screeching noises are also not normal. Could be clutch adjustment indeed. They are very fidly to get right 😅

Glad I could help!

Yeah I came across some restricted ones. Luckily they are pretty easy to derestrict

Yeah I've heard a lot of stories about the fantics, need to get a hold of one!

Awesome thanks! We should do something together perhaps!

It's actually showing less than I'm actually doing due to running 2.75 tires instead of the original 2.5

@@VintageGarageYT I thought so.

@@Mad-Coo That's why I'm using the GPS speedometer on my phone.

I changed the gear ratio after. This was the original stock ratio. Also has an hpi ignition now and it actually gets to it powerband now at top gear

Been playing around with it. It reaches 80kph now. I think wouldve done that also at the time of the video, but it just took way too long.

Yeah i changed the gear ratio a little bit. Now its also running a HPI ignition and reaches a nice 80kph. There is more in there, im playing around with some different carbs

Most likely yeah. I'm definitely not that anymore 🫣🤣

On the lever itself or what do you mean exactly? Might be worth trying indeed

There is one for sale.in the uk right now. Join the honda dream owners club facebook page. Its on there

@@VintageGarageYT thank you sir am taking a look 🙏

@@alistairrobinson3865 good luck! Every now and then there is one for sale on that group so hopefully you find something

Nooooo 🤣 Not in an RD. I have other plans.of swapping stuff 🫣

Which ones?

I have yamaha F5B ,FS1.16J

And suzuki K50 and A50

@@hamidsuzuki18 Awesome! That's a nice line up you have there. I want to have an RV50 again one day. Used to own one and they are fun little bikes!

Hello there and a merry christmas! 😁

Never ridden an XL, I hear they are ok bikes?

@@VintageGarageYT they were it was a 1973 model

@@bigears4014 awesome! They do look great!

Glad I could help!

They have been like this for both the fs1 and the Rd. Never had an issue with them like this. Also I heat up the cases, but the bearings themselves have been in the freezer for a couple of days. So the cases expand and the bearing shrinks enough to have it this way. Worked everytime so far.

Glad you liked it! I know there are a lot of people claiming big numbers on stock bikes, however no one has a stock one anymore and still aren't reaching 100km/h. It's still a very fun bike with a lot of potential. I'm trying to improve it everywhere I can without doing major changes like changing cylinders.

2mm seems excessive no? That totally ruins compression and squish.

Speedometer says 31k km. Yeah I need to do a compression test on it. In the meantime I have rebuild the carbs (they were actually full of metal shavings), changed plugs, head gaskets,... So I hope it's a bit better now.

Don't forget the oil, fuel mix as I have heard that this can make quite of a difference in power output. I often tinker with oil, fuel mix depending on weather and quality of oil. You wouldn't be able to do this with a bike that has Auto Lube. AUS.@@VintageGarageYT

@@phillipcox516 i've been running the same 2 stroke oil on all my bikes for a couple of years now. I try to mix 2%. It couldve been a bit off back then as I was filling it in the tank while filling up 😅 but usually i premix in a 10L container and then fill the tank

Thank you! Greatly appreciated! What are you looking for exactly? Jmpb has a lot of replacement parts for yamaha

No I havent really. Not sure if things changed at skyteam but a couple of my friends used to ride skyteam with a couple of issues. Clutches wearing out prematurely, overall cheap materials and rust. Even after 1 or 2 years. This is however from a while ago, things might be better now, but I have no personal experience with them.

@@VintageGarageYT Yes, that's exactly why I'm a little wary about skyteam bikes. I've never heard of someone owning one long term. I love small displacement motorcycles so your channel is quite interesting. I'm yet to decide which one I want to buy though.

@@ifrit35 are you looking into old bikes or new bikes? 50 or 125cc?

@@VintageGarageYT there are a few features I want, firstly a kick starter, secondly an air cooled engine and I have a soft spot for 2 strokes but 4 strokes work too. I can't modify the engine too much because regulations don't allow anything in France and therefore I'd like something that isn't too slow out of the box or can be modified in a stealthy way. I was thinking of a Yamaha RDX 125 or dt 125 mx. Something like that.

@@ifrit35 can't argue with those really! Great platforms. There is video on the channel of my benelli 250 on the dyno. It also has a bonus clip of a buddy of mine with his dt125 making 21hp. That thing runs pretty good!

Yes indeed. A DX to be more precise 😁

@@VintageGarageYT aqui no Brazil 🇧🇷 eles são conhecidos com YAMAHA RD-50 / RD-75 tem uma outra versão com outro tipo de motor de 80cc conhecido com RX-80 Eu tenho o RD-50 na cor azul ano 1976 com peças importadas do Japão e montadas no Brasil, apartir de 1977 as peças passaram a ser fabricadas no Brazil 🇧🇷

I work on my own Solex bikes yes 😁

The gigi is pretty similar to the penny. What's the matter with it?
