  • This Yamaha has been an ongoing project... The engine had a smoking problem, and after rebuilding the top end it was found that the clutch was bad. So it got parked, again... This is the final push to get it going once again, or forever languish in Project Purgatory...

    Pretty much the same engine is used in my XT200 which I upgraded to a 225. Nice work on the restoration!

    My dad used to drag around the irrigation canons with one of those in the 80's. I remember it being a good bike. But Mostly the plywood on the racks and how sharp the pegs felt on my 8 year old feet.

    My dad has one. Had a fucked transmission so sometimes you would shift and get 2 or 3 gears. Had a lot of power wheelied everywhere. Felt like your hand was gonna rip off trying to start it. Gradually lost compression and doesnt have enough to run anymore, would like to get it going again eventually.

      @toocheaptosmoke  Рік тому

      Seemed to last about the same as the regular mix, just goes on heavier. High exposure areas like wheel wells that get blasted with grit, salt, and ice wears off after a couple season. Other places on body and frame are firm and still a bit tacky underneath

    whats your view on fuel stablizier ? view on stored ethanal fuel ? & view on new oil but sitting for yrs and yrs ?scam or not ?

    • @toocheaptosmoke
      @toocheaptosmoke  Рік тому

      Stabilizer is better than nothing in ethanol fuel, but no matter what you add the alcohol is there and gonna absorb water. I've seen oils go bad after ~20 years of sitting, anything less than a decade has been good in my experience.

      It did seem to burn out, but after the engine sits for a while it still belches some smoke.
