I think the notification bell goes off first in Georgia.

For sure, great mechanic! I'm doing crank seals on my 77 Yamaha IT175. First time doing them on a dirt bike. The bike being worked on is very similar to my internals.

Thanks William, yes have been into all kinds of stuff over the years. Kind of settling down with the old bikes these days. Thats what retirement is all about. Enjoying the good life. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Mark, glad to have you along.

Thanks Jeff, I like to share when I know of something that will help others in the hobby, sure appreciate you hanging out in the shop with me.

It's really beating me up Graham, these things aren't supposed to be this difficult.

@@montana2strokeracer I haven't refurbished many bikes, but had one that fought me every inch. I can relate. Hang in there.

Thanks, buddy nope completely forgot it. Yes, that cylinder is among the worst I have seen and still running.

You are right Dean, flogged for sure, little dirt ingestion didn't help either. Thanks for hanging out with me,

Your welcome Cain, any new bikes out your way?

@@montana2strokeracer not yet

Think your right Steve, I never thought to try one till the other day. It fit exceptionally well.

Yep, good sources for hardware type items. Did you get one of those nut drivers, I bought another one, it came out of Las Vegas.

@@montana2strokeracer not yet, but soon. just one of those very useful tools that are available nowadays. remember in 1959 i took a Mustang scooter to a indenpendent dealer in Tucson for work all they had as pliers and a screw driver,really chewed up all my fittings was i pissed!

Hi there, best way is to perform a leak down test. But generally, if you have an air leak the engine will rev on its own or the spark plug will look very lean.

@@montana2strokeracer thankyou👍

No sir, only on the right, that's to seal off the spacer.

High mileage, and dirt ingestion. I believe the oil pump is working, we will see when its assembled.

Nope, I too am a sloppy person. My spare parts are in a box...every time I need something I have to dump the whole box, go through everything and put it back in. At least I know it's in the box.

@@montana2strokeracer sounds familiar! you shop looks neat and organized, i for one just wonder how my family will feel when i passaway someday and they have to deal with the mess. maybe call the American Picker Show!

Yep, I screw up more than you can imagine. I couldn't believe I did that though.

Holy cow, quick draw!

@@montana2strokeracer your quick,watch Buster Scruggs Videos on youtube if you want to see a fast draw!

Yep, got Ya.
