Another easy bike to get going again. Luckily it wasn't stored outside and didn't need much to get her going again. This one is going to be a fun woods bike!

I had one of these when I was a child. Was used and it always fouled the spark plug. It stranded me too many times so I sold it, I wasnt aware how to fix back then. But it was really fun when it ran.

@Garage2Trail 14 күн бұрын

I keep an extra plug on me when riding it just because I’ve heard that same thing from others. Probably because they called for 20:1 premix and the older oils weren’t as good as what we have today

Perfect project. When you kicked it over, all the memories came back for me. How lovingly obnoxious it sounds. 💪👍

@Garage2Trail 10 күн бұрын

It’s an awesome bike for sure! Quickly becoming a favorite classic of mine. Probably because of that sound 😆

That looks like a pretty straight original bike. The plastics look like they’re correct too. That multi tool was mounted to the top of the forks with rubber O rings ex factory. It’s a Suzuki so of course it’ll run 😎

@steveh7823 23 күн бұрын

Great bike! I recall it's a very heavy drinker. I would check the rubber bushes between the shocks and swingarm and frame, or maybe the creaking sound when you started it was just the loose seat.

@Garage2Trail 23 күн бұрын

that creaking sound is the springs…they are quite noisy lol. I can’t wait to get this one on the trails. I’ll be sure to have a full tank 👍

Thanks for the new video! I would say that the fitted pilot was 37.5 (wierd mikuni!) and less than a turn out, l would go richer on the pilot jet. Watch that front sprocket - bit sharky!

Thank you! Once I get that air filter in I’ll mess with that air screw again I’m sure. Yeah that sprocket is just about dead 😆

@daveallen8824 23 күн бұрын

I could be wrong, but from the bedspring sounds from the rear shocks, I would bet real money that this thing has a set of Curnutt shocks- they were really good, but always sounded like a bag of bedsprings...

@Garage2Trail 23 күн бұрын

You are dead on Dave! It’s those shocks that are noisy like that lol. It’s a good thing the bike is so loud so you can’t hear it when riding 😆

PS, we used to run 25:1 back in the day typically. A bit Smokey and we oiled a few plugs but we never seized them 😂

@randywoodward9707 17 күн бұрын

But the oil wasnt nearly as good as it is now. 50 to 1 is more than enough with modern oil

Hey that's great I just picked up a '79 PE 250 2 days ago and there's no gas in it so I couldn't test start it or drive it and I guess from putting out the truck and taking off a little gas got freed up and went into the carburetor and then I was testing it it fired right up and ran like a champ. Great bikes. Hey does your friend have any extra shocks? Mine are toast. And a headlight and a tail light. Any help would be appreciated, thank you
