      @@RpmAuto you should have about 100k at least. Just the luck of the draw with TH-cam algorithm. Ive been on it for years and none of your stuff has ever popped up, thats nuts. I just passed 1k subs. Like you tho I do it for fun. I figured if i was doing the work anyways I might as well record some of it. Good job man 👍

      @@RpmAuto it's been inside Garage hopefully inside looks as good as outside! It's at my House in Virginia and I'm working in Kentucky right now but I'll go home soon and check it out. Probably bring it back here with me and start working on it. I have title and it shows where I bought it in 1986 for $50.00!

      @@RpmAuto I had it running early 90's--Tank is almost full of premix Hopefully its OK. I was really worried--- I thought I lost title -- bought it from friends Dad and he passed away 20 years ago! Luckily found it in a box with about 150 titles!! [Got a Wrecker and Scrapped Many Many Cars!!] Mine is TS125 and does not have dual range like yours. Orange with the fiberglass fenders. Gonna try to get her going--Wish Me Luck!!

    Cool project, well done buddy. Do yu have an idea, if the TC185 has the same engine case as the TC125? Can a TC125 or TC185 engine be fitted 1:1 into a TS125 or TS185 frame? Or maybe to swap just the left engine case with the dual gear to a TS case?

    Instead of ruining the little bike put it back together remove
    The hole ignition without cutting wires bring it to a motercycle shop and they will make you a key then your done once you start cutting this and hot wireing that the little Suzuki will be junk

      A friend of mine wrecked one years ago. 😂 Hit a tree. Hurt his private parts. He was running around like chicken.
