    Hi, I'm from Nicaragua, Central America. In 1992 I bought a 2-stroke yamaha gt 80cc motorcycle, I bought it from a neighbor for US$800 with an 8-month term but since I had an accident 2 times, I paid for it in 10 months hahaha. In 1995 I sold it and I regret it to this day because I lent that money plus US$200 to add US$1,000 and they didn't pay me, my father's cousin was my rat lawyer hahaha Until now when I see this video and hear that sound it came to me mind my cute little Yamaha GT 80cc two-stroke motorcycle. GOD BLESS YOU MUCH MORE.

    Had 60 mini enduro when they first came out. Tore that bike up! If I wanted to spend time like that again I think I would go with an early 125 just for a better ergo fit. I do like how yesterday’s bikes are lower to the ground than today’s. Did a little of everything but I like riding trails the most. Have fun!!

    I just got my 1971 Triumph T120R started this year. It hasn't started for over 20 years. It started on the first kick. This is going to be my summer project.

    Hey again , so nice! Just cleaned my carb and was quite different from yours but had the exact black floats you ordered! (And grinded :) ) for what it's worth. Spark plug shiny black, oily, slight marks on piston. Can't wait to try and fire up!

    Why not just repair your old float? Its easy with solder.
