One of the suggestions on TH-cam I saw to make it run great was to eliminate the 2 cycle oil feed to the carburetor. By design the pw80 has a 2 cycle oil tank under the seat that supplies the oil pump on the top right side of the engine. The pump then delivers oil to the right side of the carburetor. You put straight gas into the gas tank.This set up will never deliver a consistent oil/gas ratio, imho. Pre-mixing by human works much better, providing a consistent 40:1 ratio, which cannot be achieved trying to mix gas and oil in the carburetor - on the fly. Two Solutions I saw Recommended: 1- Buy an oil pump block off kit, under $50.00. 2 - Re-Route: Remove oil pump line from carburetor, plug carburetor port. Extend oil pump hose and route back to 2 cycle reservoir, by drilling additional hole in cap. (It Now: Does Nothing Goes Nowhere) I did the re-route trick. 40:1 oil/gas mix straight in the tank, the engine loves it. Just paid $600 for a 1999, cracked plastic cladding, no front brake, dry-rotted rear tire, new engine top end, running great.
Option 3 and do a give away to a subscriber that has a kid that can ride it. 3 wheelers would be too risky for a give away bike. It might help you get more subscribers to this awesome channel!
I think it'd be cool to convert it to a 3 Wheeler. But if I think I know you at all, I think you're gonna make a pit. Bike out of it. Reviller would be cool, but I think you're a little too attached to it. Pretty nice little bike
I’m his girl and I never bitch about the air filter. Seriously not once. Hell I don’t even bitch about the dirty sink from the washing of the air filter. 😂 maybe it’s you bud.

It’s a Yamaha u can’t go wrong I love my pw80
Hell yah. Grew up on a pw80 still got it. They built out pretty damn good for a pit bike. Turned mine into a 110 killer
Keep it two wheeled. WAY more fun! :)
I’m torn! I’m leaning to the ultimate pit bike
modern tri zinger would be pretty cool, yamaha even made those old 50s that looked like a truck
I do believe you can make anything run. Pretty impressive.❤️ vroom vroom!
Ultimate pit bike or the modern three wheeler
Option 3, thanks for the content!
Option 3 pit bike!
Do you have a parts lists? im trying to get my PW80 up and running and have had no luck with parts. Thank you
Turn it into 3 wheeler and race the Honda 70
Where did you order your parts from i also have one I like to rebuild.
Rocky Mountain ATV
Do a 3 wheeler of it. Would be so cool.
most definitely soup it up for a good pit bike. be a little ripper
i have a fake pw80 engine that i need to put in a pit bike. I would love a fabrication video with a 3 wheeler its something different

Do the Yamaha 3 wheeler!
I agree, turn it into an ATC. The ATC 70 deserves a Honda engine from a cr85.
Camp/pit bike 👍
This and a 200m atc where my bikes at 7 to 11 years old
Noo! Stuff it in a Tri Zinger. Yamaha on Yamaha. We had one with a DG kit in it. Best pitbike ever. IF you can hunt one down
Ultimate pit bike it would be awesome
500 for the same bike looks nice and not running
Pit all the Way
I vote for turning the PW80 into a 3 wheeler ATC.
Ultimate pit bike.
No dirt in the filter. Hi flow mod
Probably why it didn’t run after he put the filter on! Too restrictive! 😂
Ultimate pit bike
Cherry huh, looks like the pits

Keep it as a dirt bike... then auction it off for your local charity...

Refurbish and sell it to a new young rider that's gotten bitten by the dirt bike bug.
Pit bike
Pit bike.
Pot bike
Subscribe, if I wanted to hear someone bitch about someone else not doing something they would never do (no air filter) I’d have a girlfriend
