After getting the gremlins out of the way, it went better.

Thank you, sir. It's a lot of fun bringing these old bikes back.

Wow, two nice bikes, you are going to enjoy the restoration of both of them. I have a 72 CT-2, and the 75 TS250 both of which are almost complete. Sure, hope you can find some good info in the videos. Thanks for hanging out in the shop with me.

Thanks Vinny, yes, the syringe is a cheap and easy way to store and purge in the short term. Yes, they are the same gaskets. I really like the sound of the two stroke engines. The smell......perfect. Thanks buddy!

After all the gremlins.... that classic two stroke sound. Need I say more. Thanks Larry.

Thanks David, did you have a motorcycle shop? I sure enjoy my shop.

@@montana2strokeracer I used to restore both cars and motorcycles from the 70's. Had to sell off everything due to health issues.

@@davidleland8729 Sorry to hear that, I am sure it is hard to deal with not being in the shop environment. I know I would miss it greatly, as I know you are. Hope things get better for you and hoping you can get back to at least some tinkering.

Thanks Cain, I appreciate your support.

Thanks Gary, still more to do on this project, waiting on warmer weather to paint.

Thanks Ron, I am enjoying making them, waiting on the weather to paint. I am ready to have some color on them.

Thanks Mark, I think it sounds great also. Love the two stroke sound

Thanks Dean, I can't believe the explosion of fuel that came out of that thing. Only when the camera is on.

Totally agree. Thanks

Oh my, you can do it Frank

The side cases I use the Rust-oleum, high heat silver 7716, coated with Rust-oleum semi-gloss clear. The fenders I use a custom mix silver poly Omni AU (MAE) 12UWA9824 it is a GM color. Your local automotive paint store can mix it for you.

Hi Bill, it could be several things, first, they will leak a bit where the exhaust pipe meets the cylinder. They are a two-stroke engine so there will be some oil. You can put a new rope seal in the pipe flange groove to seal it up, and a new flange gasket. These are still available from Yamaha. Or if it is truly excess oil, more than likely the crankshaft oil seal on the right side is sucking oil from the transmission oil reservoir. They are available from Yamaha also, and not too difficult to change I have done many videos on changing these. Another thing to check is the oil pump output. I have also done a video on this, make sure all the cables are adjusted properly before doing that test or it will not do any good. Pickup a good manual if you don't have one already to make those adjustments. Hope I have been of some help. Thanks for spending time with me in the shop.

Those are the stock shocks, just cleaned up good.

Thanks Jeff, appreciate you being here.

Hi thanks, not sure what you mean by cross-section. Thanks buddy.

@@montana2strokeracer The wire. 1 mm, 1,5 mm?

@@Frothingill Oh I see, I go by gauge, I'm using 16-gauge wire, google says that is .050 inches or 1.3 mm.

@@montana2strokeracer Thank you, Sir.

I am sorry it has been way to long since I had a HT-1 or an LT-1 a part. My thought is no, I think the stroke is different, it is the same on the AT-1 and the CT-1. Not sure if the bolt pattern is different or not. Thanks for stopping by the channel.

@@montana2strokeracer yea no problem thank you for the advice

That sounds about right.

Never buy lottery tickets or gamble in any way. Not my thing.... but I understand for sure.

Hi, I see the Suzuki Shaolin is a two stroke, I have never seen one, but I am sure an oil pump adjustment would help to keep it from smoking quite so much. Also, you may need to clean the exhaust pipes and mufflers out they may have some excess oil in them. As always be sure to run a quality 2 stroke oil in the injection system. Wish I could be more specific on what is the issue, but I have never seen one of these bikes, but generally all two strokes operate the same and have the same problems or issues. Thanks for watching my channel hope I have been some help.

@@montana2strokeracer بعد اذن حضرتك محتاج اعرف كيف افعل في الشكمان ليكون نظيف كما قولت لي

Holy cow Matt may be time for an inline universal pump. 50 bucks should do it.

@@montana2strokeracer boats love money haha

Sure thing buddy

It is totally green Frank, better get your glasses checked. Thanks buddy
