I’m working on the same exact bike! Stoked you got it runnin. But dang seeing that axle in a vise was painful. Do y’all have penetrating oil like PB Blaster down under? Leave that on for 20 minutes and stuck bolts do what ya want.
Awesome mate! Yeah, it was rough to be working on that axle.... We do have things like WD40 and I'm sure there is something like PB blaster, might have to invest in something like that!
Man I just bought a 01 mxc and can't find any plastics for it. I was really hoping that the exc plastics will fit... I hope the motor is good shape and I already know finding stuff for it is gonna be a challenge, it's still in better shape than the one in this video, but we'll have to see.
I do was trying to figure out what I had guy told me it was a 250 ktm but little bit of research it’s indeed a 200 baught it for 300 bucks not complete needs plastics and I fixed the spark problem as well as seized crank it’s coming along also needs a new carb I can’t wait to see how it rides 💯👍
Nooooo it’s called premix for a reason man. You may have only mixed one side of your tank with oil if you didn’t put enough fuel in to connect the two sides of the large adv tank with fuel at middle OR mix the fuel by tipping the bike left and right. Designate a fuel can for two stroke mix. I usually use a red can and put a few colorful zip ties on the handle, in bands of two. Red green yellow orange. All the popular bike colors! Hard to forget.

@@freetaylor72 the plastic should be the same I found out on eBay. I am finished with my project and it's worth it! this bike is super quick.
Nicely done! Bike sounds great. You could have grilled a steak on that flame! Love seeing older bikes getting some TLC *T4S*
😀👍🍻
Thanks so much. Yeah, what a flame up! Thanks for watching.
Where did you order the axle blocks from
MX Store. I said it in the video. Thanks for watching mate. Do you have a KTM 200?

Thanks for the tips and feedback mate. I put 10L into it though, so it was well and truly in both wings of the tank.
And what year is your bike
I think it's a 2000 model.
🤣🤣🤣🤣the flame thrower
hahaha yep! OOPS!!!
Good to see the steel capped thongs in use! ;-)
hahahah always!! As they say, safety third!
How do you check the hours on this bike?
You can only tell the hours if it has an hour meter on it or if the factory dash shows hours and is working correctly.
@@JoeJoeMoto thank you man
Good thing you can ride with no eyebrows .... 😂. Nice work getting the bike going, seems like its got lots of life left...👍
hahaha yeah, bit of a flame up! Yep, she's an awesome old rig hey.
