Hay brother just got notification I'm pretty drunk and I'm a asphalt and bitumen worker 10:40pm Sunday night here In Perth western Australia yew go the CR 250two strokes
Had a 1980 cr125 found it at a yard sale ... under a tree and grass growing threw it , put a plug and a little tlc and it turned on first kick!!! Awsome bike ! Looking forward to this build!!!😄👍🏽
@@xfiringsquadx That was exactly my first thought! Cross threaded that bolt, I hate seeing these kids with their power tools, use a socket and ratchet!
@@xfiringsquadx lol yup I noticed that too. He did second guess doing it for a second but went full fukk it. Really not hard to start a couple threads by hand first.
@@dgxdetailingservicesltd8461 lol although I enjoy this channel,this kid is a vintage machine and 2stroke in general worst nightmare, I've seen him do all kinds of fuckery over the years, to the point that nothing surprises me anymore. what used to really get me, was when he would get a bike running after many a years of sitting,half ass carb clean(most times not even)then proceed to dog the shit out of it 9/10 times under lean conditions and have the nerve to tell us it sounds good lol. Overall compared to his early channel, he has improved on his trouble shooting and taking time to fix things correctly but it's the little things like this,that show us he still ain't all there lol🍻🍻
Been tinkering on a 1977 CR250. When we got that, it was gonna be a salvage parts bike. Motor not trashed nor is bike. Just lot of tlc to bring her back. No help right now so I got plenty of projects to tinker on, on my own.. love it!!!
What a great find completely rebuilt a 79 last winter and mine was only half there I completely went through mine upgraded the front forks to 81 and Noleen in the back. Total rebuild of engine plus cylinder porting. I built mine to be a rider not a garage Queen. These bike are absolute blast to ride at the track. Thanks from Alaska
You should have just bought a coil for it instead of going threw all the trouble but I do understand that you do all this for the viewer's..thank you for your time and the effort you put into these videos..your awesome man....
I have a Honda xr80 I need to replace the rings and do a few other things. I have absolutely no mechanical experience though but I’ll mess around and see what happens 🤷♂️😂
That is definitely a nice restoration candidate. Great find. The 78-80 CR250s are very popular with the vintage racing crowd. You can find very nice plastic at VMX racing. Good luck with the project.
I’ve got an early 90’s ktm 2 or 300cc. The cylinder on its huge so when I found it at a bone yard nearly complete, I thought it might be a bigger bore (440-500). Complete rolling frame, motors complete (minus some random replacement bolts n nuts), gas tank, radiators (broken cap flange needs to be welded back on). You can have the bike and you pay shipping. It’s probably not as extensive as this build only cause the shocks are there but it’d definitely be educational. I just don’t wanna watch it rot out back. If u want some pics, it may be worth researching to see how much shipping is. It’ll definitely need to have the cases split and a full rebuild.
That’s a really good find, work your heart out on this thing getting it running real sweet and you will have a jem. You also should keep all the Honda cr250’s and have a collection of them.
I have the same bike 100% stock has about 10 hrs of total ride time it was give to my dad from my mom for his birthday it’s been garaged since day one I pulled it out a few hrs ago put gas in it kicked it 1 time and it started I am considering selling it but haven’t decided. Enjoy your rebuild you have one hell of a fun project can’t wait for updates on it.
Dude, when I first started watching your videos, there were so many negative comments and people just being genuine dicks... Now you getting mostly positive comments, you obviously doing something right, way to show the haters... Keep it bro.
This is an EXTREMELY rare 1980 CR250PD. The PD stands for Prototype Design. 11 were made and were ran by Team HondaFire out of Temecula California, but they were quickly banned after the 1980 Supercross series but before the Outdoor National Series as these bikes were effortlessly lapping the field... As a result the other manufacture backed teams were putting up a fuss. In 2017 one of these in about the same condition went for 1.2 million dollars at the B.J.M.A. (Barrett Jackson Motorcycle Auction)
I love it. I had a 78 CR250 on channel years ago and a guy from Australia emailed me and wanted to buy it before I even finish it. Well he payed me threw PayPal and sent a transport truck to pick it up. He said those bikes sell like hot cakes over there.
You definitely need a digital multimeter. U know to check out put voltages, and ohm's on the primary and secondary windings of your coil. Thanks for sharing.
Great vid,and a real cheap buy,that would fetch a lot of money in the uk,even in that state,very sought after......really enjoy watching u solve and fix up your bikes👍
Swapped around and got one of those in a 55 gallon barrel and a couple boxes one time, I wish you luck trying to find a pair of those rear shocks. They were made from un-obtainium and outrageous prices and that was 10 years ago.
If you need to get cables and carbs free'd up an old school trip is to soak them in warm ATF OIL. Then you can decide from there what needs to be fixed, replaced, etc
That's true i have an elsinore and a honda odyssey fl250 that has one in it and they have ran great since new never rebuilt just new oil spark plugs and grease shows you what maintenance can do with your bike
It definitely needs a coil now that you cut it open like that. It needs a lot of other stuff too. It's gonna sound badass when you get it running though.
Dc plastics has a full set of plastic and seat cover and other parts I’d like to see parts ordered from other suppliers other than eBay. you have a lot of luck finding rare bikes and that’s what I like to see keep it up
Boy, only if that bike could talk........... :-) Imagine the stories of a 40 year old bike. Very cool, loving these old restore bike video's more and more. Ugh, spark/coil/electronic issues, biggest fear I have if I ever go to restore a bike is the electrical part of it. Keep up the good work!
Notice how the stator cover has wider holes for the bolts to be able to change the timing, in case you get any timing issues. If i saw correctly, that flywheel nut was loose and you definitely destroyed the threads on of the cover bolts
Hey man love the vids I've got a 1982 cr450 I'm fixing up just wondering where you buy the parts from because I'm in need of the rotor, gasget kits and other hard parts to find
You have to make sure your 4 stater bolts (since the magneto mounts in the cover),and mag cover has good continuity (ground) to the engine, check your frame bolts were the motor mounts to the frame also.
i had same bike kick starter on left also had a old cr480 with kick starter on left you had to have a real strong leg to kick that cr480 over ---- keep up the good videos ----stay safe
I don't understand how you find these things! I can never find them. Or anything for that matter. I guess some people just aren't meant to get bikes 😂 great video!
It seems you've gained some experience over time. I might just start watching your channel again. ( Until I saw you cross thread that bolt with the impact gun). LoL man, never start a bolt with an impact gun.
I'd deffo invest in a multimeter so you could have saved a lot of time and just checked continuity of the HT lead, and resistances of the coil, etc. Could ceck other parts of the circuits too.
You cannot get any simpler there's only for pipes that will keep that bike from running your trigger coil or pulsar coil your stator coil or ignition coil and CDI capacitor discharge ignition bike I owned was 1983 cr60

Now I'm worried about that bolt you cross threaded on the stator cover lol. It's a bad idea to start bolts with an impact driver.

I don't know if you did but spraying some oil in the cylinder before cranking is always a good idea on a bike thats been sitting like that.
Just finished resurrecting my 88 kx125 after sitting for 15 years. Evenings and weekends all spring and summer. So satisfying when they finally start.

I'm so confused after seeing this.
@@j.w5614 nothing to be confused about. Pretty basic troubleshooting.
Basic troubleshooting you do with a multimeter. Not by cutting open an ignition coil.

Anyone else look forward to when he posts a video?
Guilty, especially two wheelers
I’m waiting for the next video to see what fuckery he will do next, lol.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the step by step diagnosis and process of elimination for that’s like best part of working in cars and bike

Kicking on the left side is so odd after growing up kicking on the right. I dont miss the old Elsinore bikes but nice to see them still running.
I road a 79 cr250 for a few yrs, then bought a new left over 1980. Payed $1000 brand new. Think i liked the 79 better.
That is definitely a nice restoration candidate. Great find. The 78-80 CR250s are very popular with the vintage racing crowd. You can find very nice plastic at VMX racing. Good luck with the project.
You know 2-3 "kicks" is all you need to see if its sparking or not. The extra 100 per try are not necessary😅😅😅😅

It’s an Elsinore 80 -81 were the last years of the Elsinore great fined man my dad had a 79 Elsinore was a rocket he used to tell me

its worth putting some money into the cr250 as it will be worth a few grand in good working order
W who’s exited to see this restoration on this bike I am really excited
Cool old cr. I'm looking forward to seeing it run! It will be hard to find the rear fender and side plates if you get it all up and running.

She's beautiful, look at those frame rails, awesome condition
there is a check you can do with a multimeter on the coil. look at rocky mountain how to vids on checking a coil

Honda Elsinore's are my favorite bikes. I grew up when they where around! Classics
a fully restored 1973 elsinore is worth around 10,000, used to have one also had a 1979 elsinore 125 both bikes kicked ass, wish i still had them.
The day I was born my uncle bought one of those brand new I saw it in lots of pictures
That's awesome!
Such an iconic machine, it deserves to be brought back to life just as it left the factory 🇬🇧.
You spent a heck of a lot more time on that coil than I would have. LOL
love the vids keep up the great work u are my fav youtuber
Did you say "yummy" when you saw the dirty stator?!
It definitely needs a coil now that you cut it open like that. It needs a lot of other stuff too. It's gonna sound badass when you get it running though.
Good luck on getting it running and parts fit it. You have a lot of work on your hands if you do it right
his kid kills me, says once in a while its the actual plug,,never has he fixed anything and had it be, just the plug.

Hope your going to sell it to someone to restore it properly, they are worth a fortune in the uk 🇬🇧, it needs doing right
Any bike is worth a fortune in the U.K. apparently.. can’t find bargains especially not Honda
Oh man very cool find! Just getting this video started, thanks for posting!
Keep it up with the old cr's that's awesome
Start with the simple things, work from the plug backwards all the way too the stator, I would’ve replaced that plug wire first. Great video though!

Good find man. But who the hell puts a holley equipped sticker on a dirt bike lmao 🤣 😂. And that was put on a long time ago
Restore and keep that bike! I have a 1978 cr 250, they are really fast
Check to see if the kill switch is grounding out and causing no spark , you do this by disconnecting it from the circuit, good luck!
Can't wait to see if "The Red Rocket" comes to life!
Love the vids but want too see a warrior or banshee.
do you need "the" coil for this bike or any AC coil? I use generic pitbike AC coils on most bikes.
You cannot get any simpler there's only for pipes that will keep that bike from running your trigger coil or pulsar coil your stator coil or ignition coil and CDI capacitor discharge ignition bike I owned was 1983 cr60
The old Yz250 awesome video man
Very good diagnostic check I would of got all new ones if they made it
If nothing else works, check your ohms in the coil in primary and secondary
You cross threaded that bolt on the stator cover lol
Hey nice 250, why is your brother not in your video's no more
I did $100 on one that needed rings still ran but smoked a ton.
Love the old Honda's
I think a multimeter could have saved you a few hours and headache. Great video though. Hope you get that thing running good. Nice find.
Haha. That’s the tank u used to put on the vintage 2stroke in the last cpl videos. I was wondering what it came off, cause it looked in decent shape.
Sure you don't have an old pit bike coil laying about.
It doesn't have to an exact replacement.
Coils are coils 👍
i cant wait to see this challenge.
1980 CR250R Elsinore , Nice
I instantly knew by the gas tank that it was early 80s i have an 82xr250r and it has the same tank on it
The race-ability between an 1982 CR2050 and a 1983 Cr250 was lightyears different. The 1983 was STELLAR. So was the 1986. I owned and raced both.
