Hi Dean. It is a nice bike and I'm going to make it whole again if it kills me. You like my hat, huh? I wanted a Stetson, but all I could afford was this cheap imitation straw hat made of plastic.

@@cainbeeping8480 I don’t think so Cain the shift cam is binding on something, but I can’t pinpoint it

Thanks Don. I use iMovie. It hasn't got a load of features, but for a simple mind it's a simple APP.

I was wondering about that. I thought maybe it was a bit much. Thanks for responding.

I would as well, It will be next year I'm afraid, David. If I would have had the handicap ramp I built for my Mom that would have been my winter project, However Mom is gone and it needed work, so I had to tear it out or spend money fixing it. Maybe my son will build a ramp for me someday.

Thanks for watching BenjoeB

Everything you said is absolutely correct. much more work required.

@@oldguysoldbikes Aber Sie schaffen das, Schritt für Schritt kommen Sie näher.

Yup.

Thanks Cain!

I put it in and took it out so many time trying to make this thing work that I forgot where I was when I finally got it correct. When cleaning up and putting everything away and I realized that the ball bearing is in there for the final solution unlike what I said on the video.

It's a bit thicker than the other clutch plates. Why ?????

Yes he does.

Yes he does.

Hi Wayne, Sorry, but I can't say that I've had any clutch problems. That might be the only thing that I haven't had problems with.

I had an epiphany after I wrote the reply below. It doesn't have synthetic oil in the transmission does it? Synthetic oil is TOO slick.

Your comment is spot on. I am definitely not a professional.

This video was a few years ago. My knowledge and tools have progressed a bit since then. The simple answer to your question is no. There is no voltage in a magneto ignition system unless the engine is turning over, so with a meter set to ohms you are checking for the exact time that the points open. (When the engine is running that will remove the ground from the line to the ignition coil and allow the output of the source coil on the stator to provide a voltage to the primary winding of the ignition coil.) When doing this test, the flywheel isn't spinning and therefore the magnets don't produce any voltage from the source coil. The problem here is that the condenser in the circuit makes testing for the exact moment that the points open using a digital meter difficult. I now have an ignition tester that gives me a more positive reading of when the points open.

yDs3 a 2 cylinder 250cc 2 stroke with auto oiling . The C denotes a couple differences to make it an Off/On road bike. Different/more aggressive tires, different/upswept exhaust, steering damper and a couple other minor changes.

@@GPgundude Yup, that’s what I use.

My thoughts exactly.

You're absolutely correct Kevin. If you're looking for how to do things watch Dale Sweger, 2vintage or a lot of others. I'm afraid my videos are just an old fart playing around. I will say that I have gotten a bit better at both wrenching and editing over the last 4 years. Thanks for taking time to comment.

Totally agree. I've got crank seals on order and the only other thing I can think of is ignition coil. I think both of those items were replaced with cheap aftermarket parts last year. I'm leaning towards the seals because of the amount of smoke the engine is putting out. I've ordered both.

Yup, totally agree. I ordered a pair of seals plus the o-ring that goes on the right side. This time I didn't try to be cheap. Not sure if that's the total problem though. I rewatched the video and where I used the timing light to recheck the timing it didn't seem like all of the flashes were the same brightness. 2Vintage just had bike that was running but "boggy" as he said. After trying everything else he started swapping ignition components with another bike he had. It turned out the ignition coil. I'm pretty sure this coil is new, but I think it's not a Yamaha part. I don't have the luxury of another of the same bike, but I think I may have another coil.

Hi Luis, Thanks for watching my videos. You first have to know what size piston you need. Usually stated as which oversize the bore of the cylinder is at. Standard, first oversize, second oversize, third oversize, etc. This would probably listed on eBay as STD 56mm, 1st-O/S 56.25mm, 2nd-O/S 56.50mm, 3rd-O/S 56.75 Etc. Once you know the size of the cylinder just search eBay for Piston for Yamaha AT2. Find the one you need and order it. eBay will take care of shipping foreign or domestic. You will need a credit card or a money transfer account such as PayPal, Apple Pay etc. .

I have no doubt Don.

I did go back and review that. You're right; my camera work and editing sucked. I'm trying to get better.

Yup Banana, you're right about the smoke. I think the run-away that you saw was when the bowl was getting empty and it leaned out before it died.

I will, or I"ll die trying. I love the looks of this bike and am determined to use it to take the motorcycle driving test next year.

Well, maybe just a little, strange that is.

@@indianachrisUDX1313 Thanks Chris.

@@oldguysoldbikes You're welcome Jack! I'm watching more of your video's right Now! I'm 63 and I still tinker around with similar Stuff, Mostly small engines, ETC.

Ya, it sounds kind of muted, along with not having any power. The plug seems a bit too wet as well.

@@oldguysoldbikes I kind of remember a guy who had the silencer plug up? But that was a long time ago with golden spectro

It was plugged at one time, but it's been cleaned out, but ya it does sound that way.

@@oldguysoldbikes My knowledge is more for the mx YZ250s starting in 77. Things that caused issues for me was a rod that during a lock up became shorter than it should have been. it looked and worked just fine, but being a little shorter messed things up. Another is the piston. Yamaha changed the intake side skirt of the piston every year. Make sure the piston you used matches the original. Also simple things like too much oil or the wrong oil in the air filter will also do what you having issues with. I just found your channel so don't be upset if I go over thing you have already covered.

@@MichianaFisherman Thanks Michiana, I NEVER get upset with people who respond to my videos. Even if what they say is, shall we say, not flattering to me.

Not when the faulty wiring is in my brain. lol

@@oldguysoldbikes lol

Once again as I said in the video; thank goodness it was ALMOST! Why would I say that? Well, it could be because you are absolutely correct. I believe that I must have left the key in the OFF position and because I had the wire to the ignition coil disconnected I forgot that the ground put on the coil from the switch is still connected to the part of the circuit that I was trying to test. I'll explain more in my next video. Thanks a bunch for your input. I haven't looked yet, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

So can memory loss Cain. Watch the next video and I'll explain.

I've still got a little hair left, but not yet to the point where I'm going to start pulling it out.

Never thought much about it. Probably heard someone say it that way a long time ago. lol
