- Hello World Wide Web!!!
Working toward getting the engine started. Checking the cylinder walls for corrosion, making sure the oil and filter is good and getting the leaking radiator repaired. All small but necessary steps to get the engine going. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Enjoying the video's, keep them rolling.🏍
I love your methodical approach! Can’t wait to hear this thing scream again!
Me too!!! I can't believe I found all those carb and coolant parts!! Should have it running soon!
I Just bought the same bike 2 weeks ago! Wonderfull machine. I love this series getting so much information i needed to know! Thank you and keep going ❤
So cool to see others who have found this gem!! I'll be taking my time tearing this thing down to the bare bones so stay tuned for more!
Nice, good progress Ken. I had similar issues with my Radiator, it was shaped like a Parallelogram 😆 and had mounts broken off. Was told that there was brand new ones available from China, but these were FZR250 ones, so found a half decent one on Ebay from Germany, then had a shop go over it and declare it fit. These bikes only hold just over 2 litres of coolant and do get a bit...warm in traffic, so the system has to be in good shape as it has its work cut out.
I was thinking from my old engineering days that this radiator wasn't big enough the moment I saw it. I might have a custom one built later on but for now I followed the same process you did - get it sorted out and functional first. The radiator shop I found is outstanding in their workmanship and could build a radiator that would physically fit but would dissipate more heat.
Funny you mentioned Germany...my subframe is bent and I thought about options to straighten and/or repair. Then I found on near mint - from Germany!! It's on the way and should be here in the coming weeks.
@@KensWorldRestorations They say, "Great mind think alike" 🤣🤣 Germany does seem to have lots of used parts for these (and other) bikes, but they charge like a wounded bull, and shipping, at least to NZ, is outrageous.
@@uhtred7860 Hahaha!! I missed that - charge like a wounded bull!! So true. I saw it on eBay Germany and noticed I could bid on it so I bid $30 below asking price. Their counter offer was $4 below their original price. Hard to negotiate when I need it. The subframe showed up a few weeks ago and it is nice and straight. Or maybe it's LGBQT...I guess we're not allowed to assume that it's straight.
There is supposed to be a washer and spring in the oil filter housing.
Thanks - yep. Got it. It was mentioned in another comment and I really appreciate that. I’ve got an order in with CMSNL and have a lot of OEM Yamaha NOS bits coming soon, including the spring and washer for the oil filter.
@@KensWorldRestorations Yeah sorry about that, I didn't read the earlier comment. I don't know if you have had one of these bikes before but when its done your gonna love it. All the best and a happy new year.
@@user-nu3rg5ji5h All good!! All the best as well! I appreciate ALL the comments! There’s so many parts missing from this bike but it seems to be a lot of the little things like fasteners, brackets, grommets, etc. If you see anything out of whack, lemme know!
Did your filter housing have the spring and washer that goes in the filter housing before the filter? I didn't see them in the video.
Nope...thanks for that. I've got the spring and washer plate on order.
@@KensWorldRestorations 👍
Oil looked clear. Video editing has improved, what are you using?
Yeah...suspiciously clear. The spring and washer (on the oil filter shaft) are missing too. So many things out of order...but it's getting there. Figured out why it was only running on 2.25 cylinders - 2 left carbs had some corrosion on the brass idle circuit tubes. Thanks for that - very kind of you. I ended up downloading DaVinci Resolve for free. What you get for free is astonishing - can't believe they give it away. I'm still trying to figure it out but I'm watching a lot of YT videos on how to make better videos!! Hahaha!! I only recently found out what a "colour space" is and also found out that my iPhone and Nikon use different colour space. Hopefully I won't look so green next time.
If you find a place that sells a coolant hose set for this model, please let me know, I haven't been able to find any.
I'll keep you posted. For now I'm just using stock hose that I'll cut and fit to shape just to get the engine running.
@@KensWorldRestorations Cheers, i was going to take mine into an auto parts store and match up the curves and bends if i can't source any.
Torqued that oil plug kinda hard? I´ve myself stripped the oil threads Twice on my old -91 Suzuki GSXR 1100.. really careful now´days when changing oil :)
Previous owner and 10-15 years of sitting. But yeah, we've all messed up when it comes to this sort of thing. I've now got a list of over 120 fasteners, collars & grommets that all need replacing. I don't think there's one single nut or bolt on this bike that's gonna survive the restoration. The person who did the last oil change forgot the filter compression spring & washer also...that stuff just drives me crazy...
Nothing wrong with that oil.
Good eyes. It was “suspiciously” clean. For a bike that sat for over 10 years, it was pretty obvious that the seller changed the oil without running the bike. Not sure if he was trying to hide something or not…
