This is the stuff of DREAMS for me! GREAT JOB! You inspire me to think, if you can do it, maybe I really can do it. I have 14 bikes, but shockingly have VERY LITTLE wrenching experience. For almost 44 years of owning bikes, other than oil changes, air filters, chains, and a couple two stroke top ends that I’ve done with beginner’s luck, my bikes have always been dealer/shop supported. Of my 14 bikes, 8 of them are hopeful restoration projects from old 4-stroke street bikes, to 2-stroke dirt bikes like this one. My dream is to learn how to do this and simultaneously teach my autistic son these new life skills. Keep doing what you’re doing! 😊😊😊
GoldGuy I wonder if you can shorten the new cable to make it work and solder the end of the cable with solder in the way it needs to be rather than welding some bird shit on the end of it . Bet that would work just fine 😎
boone7075 I wish I’ve tried shorting throttle cables at least three times and end up messing up the lead thing at the end or messing up the cable it’s self
Hey man, make sure that the two-cycle oil you put in the tank is one that is designed for oil pumps, rather than normal two-cycle. The manual says to use outboard engine oil if you can find one that specifies that it's safe.
I had a bike just like this one, a year different though and I don't remember the exact year. It was given to me by my Uncle. I was about 12 years old, all I dreamed of was getting a motorcycle. One of the greatest days of my life. That bike led to a DS185, I believe and then a PE250. I bought a three wheeler and a few four wheelers, but the motorcycles are my favorite. Great videos, keep making them and I'll keep watching and giving 👍!

Not gonna lie, I can't believe you got it running. That's pretty freaking awesome, and I seriously can't wait for the next video in the restoration process. I also like the humorous little tidbits you added to the video. Definitely make more videos like this one
Had one of these as a teenager. Me and my mate bought it to ride through the woods. Big heavy old bike. Was fast too. Good times getting stuck in ditches. Back sprocket started to fall off so we sold it for a 22 air rifle. Good memory’s of that too
With you on the two stroke. Also wanted to comment about the aluminum foil, it works really well with dawn dish soap and water on rust try it next time you clean up rust chrome. Thanks for great videos
My dad has a beat up ‘75 Honda xr75 that is really similar to yours except it’s a 4 stroke, I’m thinking of buying it off of him, I think all it needs is some carb work, maybe a spark plug, and perhaps some work on the gas tank because the inside is a bit rusty, other than that just needs some grips and a seat as far as I can tell.
Keep up the great content! Secretly it was a little satisfying to see you missed your goal... I often watch repair videos with minimal edits that take 15 minutes and when I go to do a similar repair I'm still cursing after 6 hours. Glad you had success in the end!
Good job you got started always pays to be diligent you are the inspiration for my nighthawk 750 so thank you I’ll I like to send you a picture when it’s finished
That other cdi box may be saved by putting it in an oven at a very low temp for about an hour at around 130° moisture tends to seep in those shorting out the box and if it sat outside for years this probably would work I've brought many back to life that way some of us old guys know what were talking about
@@GoldGuyRides it doesn't always work but it's definitely worth a try it doesn't cost anything other than a bit of time...I have about a 70% success rate with those stamped metal boxes
I just got my two stroke going again for the first time in a few years in the last few days too! It's a great feeling to hear it fire up after all the blood sweat and tears! I'd seriously consider a compression test and top end rebuild though. The rings may not seal so good if it's sat and no telling what condition the cylinder is in. A machine shop can just give it a hone for around40 bucks to make sure the cylidner walls are straight and cross hatched, and top end gaskets are cheap, rings can be expensive sometimes but it's better to have a clean slate than put excessive wear on the cylinder already. Good thinking on running mixed gas incase the pump wasnt working! What ratio are you using?
I just acquired an old 75 Yam DT1 250cc and I'm slowly getting to the first startup stage. Only thing is, the rest of the bike is unsalvageable except for maybe the frame. Ebay would cost a fortune to put it all back together. I wonder what I may be able to put this little 250 two stroke into?
It looked like you didn't set the oil pump you put the filter on before you atached the pump cable, on the back of the throttle slide is a small round drilling a dent, it should be just touchng the top of the hole of the carb and the lines on the oil pump should be aligned , it shoud stop it smoking so much ;) you did well to get that running again ;)
Good job mister. Following you since your first project. Helped alot when i was creating my cb750! Keep up the good work. Any idea what color you gonna paint it?
What size is the mounting neck on your air filter ..as I look at it I'm thinking I'll get 4 and use them as pod filters on my GS 850 ...yes ..ill have to jet it to work properly with these filters ...
A 185 isn't that bad try a 11.5:1 compression ratio tt500 Yamaha they will literally throw you over the bars if you're not careful or make you knee yourself in the face lol
The Pyro Dude I used to have a little Red Bull Kawasaki pit bike 85cc and that thing would kick back and compression would build up only after kicking it 4 or 5 times or something like that. And it wasn’t even that old
Because the original throttle cable is a dual pull for carb and oil injector, the one that I bought was just a single pull. I just needed the throttle twist grip
When it comes to bikes with wet clutches you usually want to use a oil that is JASO certified. These products contain the additives that help prevent wet clutch slippage. It will probably be fine but just a thought.
Two strokes because of how they run, need lubrication in the top end. So it needs a specific two stroke oil through injectors (a pump running from a second tank that squirts into the engine) or directly mixing in the gas tank.
@@SeamTressGaming no AS LONG as the two stroke pump works! If it is not new or you or you are not sure, premix the main gas tank and look at the pump. The two stroke lines that go into the engine are always clear and you can see if oil is moving along. Some manuals for bikes will even have a way to test it by unplugging the oil line and measuring its output. It would say "pump should produce _____ when at Y rpms for X amount of time.
For some reason I hear people saying this all the time. They claim that these pumps are finicky. You can usually just bleed the air from the screw in the bottom and just watch. You should never premix a oil pump bike.

Steve.. I’m 19 and just got my hands dirty.. start there and I promise it’ll roll from there
Your enthusiasm with this project is inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Why ....... why....... wouldn’t you just use the new throttle cable fella 😱
Yeah I realize that I could have just used it, but it was a LOT longer than the original one was, so there would have been way too much extra cable
GoldGuy
I wonder if you can shorten the new cable to make it work and solder the end of the cable with solder in the way it needs to be rather than welding some bird shit on the end of it .

That 2 stroke sound 👌👌
My first bike was a 1980 Suzuki DS 125 that sounded very much like the TS. Would love to have that bike back in the garage again.
You did a good job glad you could get your bike started

That is awesome dude! Can’t wait to see what you do with it from here.
I live for the sound of classic two strokes
Can’t believe it actually got started. This just shows you can do anything as long as you feel like doing it.

Hell yeah!!, i've been waiting so many episodes... Good work man! 👍 I'm anxious to see how you finally renew this bike
Not the GoldGuy we needed. But the GoldGuy we deserved
I had the ts250 version it was a great bike in its day
00W40 Mobil 1, what I use on all my stuff and my shop repaired stuff. great oil and super lubrication.
With you on the two stroke. Also wanted to comment about the aluminum foil, it works really well with dawn dish soap and water on rust try it next time you clean up rust chrome. Thanks for great videos
Keep it up Man U have inspired me to start restoring my own ts185 great job
@goldguy
You needed a hole or some kinda vent line in your gas tank contraption.
I leaped for joy when that thing started though!!
Keep it up!!

Great videos,new sub here from england,love getting them old classics up and running,all the best man
That's definitely a two smoker. 😄 I want to see you race it in a vintage Motocross race.
She's alive!
Congratulations, great project, I watch you from Brazil.
My cousin had a an 81 Suzuki Ts100 and yes that 2 stroke sound 👍🏼
Awesome job getting it up and running, Merry Christmas! loving the little camera edits you put in there.

I just installed a motion pro clutch cable on my 2015 kx450f waiting to test it out
Grade video, I think I saw a couple of spiders fly out the exhaust pipe.. that's one way of getting rid of them😂
Hell yeah! im so happy to see this haha :) Lets see the video :P
Hey GoldGuy i love you #nohomo also there seems to be another spider 17:50 check the front wheel
These spiders just won't leave me alone bro. Also, love you too. #nohomo

Well done sounds great
Nice 👍👍👍
Never doubted ya GoldGuy! :)
Wow, surprised you got it going so quick.

I did not know that, thanks for the tip!!
right on buddy 2 stroke smoke lol
Love that sound!!
Good job mister. Following you since your first project. Helped alot when i was creating my cb750! Keep up the good work. Any idea what color you gonna paint it?
candy ruby red. it looks great
She sounds like a dream
Your personality dude.. am lovin it.
Awesome! Great job kid!
I'm guessing the killswitch killed the spark.
Hi mate I’m new to your Channel and I like all what you do keep up the good work
watched everything, good seris, subbed. :)
Fair play to ya man. Well done!
2stroke for life!!!
Thing sounds pretty good man.shes a beast
There's nothing the matter with that bike you'd be crazy to tear that engine apart
It has like no compression, just look how easily he kicks it over. I'm surprised it even started
Been waiting for this video for days lol
If it had been a honda it would have fired right up on the first kick when he said let's see how many kicks it takes lol
What size is the mounting neck on your air filter ..as I look at it I'm thinking I'll get 4 and use them as pod filters on my GS 850 ...yes ..ill have to jet it to work properly with these filters ...
54mm
Love it! Keep up the good work mate
That's what my 66cc sounds like when I take out the baffle from the stock exhaust
Lol Ron said it was a 79 then 1 vid later it’s a 77 now it’s a 75
My guess for no spark was rusty flywheel or dirty pickups in the coils under the flywheel?
Well I was wrong :(. Wondering how you had an extra cdi and cool? Good job bringing it back from the dead!
THAT THING SOUNDS MEAN!!!
This guy sounds and actually look like Mr.Beast
Legend
Can’t believe the Kickstarter didn’t kick back. Man that would’ve hurt. You’d think it would since it’s an old bike.
Yep, I've had that happen, not pleasant
A 185 isn't that bad try a 11.5:1 compression ratio tt500 Yamaha they will literally throw you over the bars if you're not careful or make you knee yourself in the face lol
The Pyro Dude I used to have a little Red Bull Kawasaki pit bike 85cc and that thing would kick back and compression would build up only after kicking it 4 or 5 times or something like that. And it wasn’t even that old
2 stroke 4 life!
Clutch cable
i bet its a new clutch cable bc i watched all the vids on the clutch
What I usually use in my new 2 strokes is run atf fluid in the crank case it’ll help clean everything out I usually just run that instead of oil
Hell yeah!
Are u sure it doesn't have points behind the flywheel
0:38 high school bathroom😂😂
Use the new throttle cable if you have it and the old one doesn’t give you problems in he future but on the other hand keeping it original I like it
sick
Dude im form pakistan 😂 love your vids by the way
2 stroke oil stays good longer than engine oil does mine
damn dude, you look different now lmao
Holy shit this bike sounds awesome! Congrats my dude! :D
Why not use the new throttle cable and keep the old one you cleaned for a back up instead of the other way around?
Because the original throttle cable is a dual pull for carb and oil injector, the one that I bought was just a single pull. I just needed the throttle twist grip
Any chance you have the link to that throttle anywhere?
was it ignition coil why it didn't get spark ?
Either kill switch or engine wasn't grounded. 16:00

Shit, I was wrong.
Good 😎
Your going to cook that clutch using that oil
Not sure, some old yamaha 2 strokes used 10W30
When it comes to bikes with wet clutches you usually want to use a oil that is JASO certified. These products contain the additives that help prevent wet clutch slippage. It will probably be fine but just a thought.
Damn I almost said the throttle cable
Throttle cable?
whats that "two stroke oil mix tank" does?
Two strokes because of how they run, need lubrication in the top end. So it needs a specific two stroke oil through injectors (a pump running from a second tank that squirts into the engine) or directly mixing in the gas tank.

Um the oil is supposed to be 750ml it says on the side right side of the casing
You shoulda used the new throttle cable bro
I said fan belt... Wow, I was way off.
I wish you could help with are atv
Cdi was fine just had to flip the kill switch wires
Can’t believe it actually got started. This just shows you can do anything as long as you feel like doing it.
