Dale we all make mistakes and hey it's life we live and learn glad you got it fixed right. You are doing this as a learning channel which is awesome let's be respectful and learn from one another so we can be successful on our projects. Got your back Dale.
Thank you, years ago I used Blendzall, I think you just use what is available in your area, these days you can get anything sent to your house. I use Caster bean oil (currently Klotz) in my race bikes, but Yamalube in the oil injection bikes.
Hey Don, most folks are very nice, but there are some out there that their parents failed them at some point. I just don't think we should treat each other in any other way, but the way you would like to be treated.
It's a charming bike Dale, runs great. Just like being a teenager again! Just delete the negative stuff Dale, its not worth the time of a man of your talents. Best wishes, Dean.
I just got my Great-grandfathers red 1969 Yamaha YG-T Trailmaster 80, (only 2,000 miles on it), and I was searching for restoration videos to help me bring her back to life. I found your channel and am super thankful for your videos. Keep up the great work!
Wow that's going to be a great project, glad these videos have been helpful, they have been pretty popular, so there seems to be a lot of interest in these old bikes. Good luck with yours my friend.
Thanks Dale. I'm sorry to hear of the needless negative comments.These are generated by mean-spirited people who have nothing better to do. Disregard them entirely. Cheers, Peter.
Hi just came across your videos and enjoy watching them. Back in the 70's I had a Honda SL 175 and 350 plus a Suzuki Honcho 90 and Savage 250 miss those days working on them.
Hi there, welcome to the channel and thanks for watching. I remember all those bikes, they are all fun motorcycles, easy to work on and the really good thing is.....they are still out there. Go grab another one and make some new memories, have some fun.
We all make mistakes. You less than others. Can't say I've ever heard of weights needing to be moved while adjusting a 2 stroke. Quite interesting. For having no manual you were very much on track! A great lesson making educated guesses, learning from mistakes and correcting them.
Hi Dale, I have a Trailmaster 100 too and by the looks it is in very similar condition. Busy to get it ready so it'll run right to hopefully get it registered here in the Netherlands soon ! Mine came from Oregon originally. Cheers, Ard
@@montana2strokeracer Yeah I can´t wait to legally ride it on and off the road here ! Not sure if ever there was one imported into Europe before either.
Outstanding work! I enjoy all of your projects, I just rebuilt a Suzuki RM 80T for a grandkid nice to have the parts availability still, I learn allot from your videos and appreciate all the work beyond repairing the bikes to produce the videos. Thx Dale
Thanks Shawn, bet the RM80 was a fun project, the smaller bikes are my favorite these days. They still have good parts availability and there were more made, so used stuff is there too. Glad these videos are of some use. I appreciate you spending your time with me in the shop.
Hi there, all I did on this one was to buff out the old paint with buffing compound. It still has the chips and scratches, but it shined up pretty nice. After that I coated all the painted parts with paste wax.
@@montana2strokeracer Got one in the UK here for £30. I rebuild NSU engines for the main supplier here in the UK and this is an easier way to set the ignition thanks Dale
Dale, even the most talented mechanics in the world, which you are among, make and learn from a few mistakes. We love your videos...thanks again for posting.
Thanks Jeff, I certainly don't deserve to be put in that category, I am just having fun in my retirement doing the sort of things I could only dream of as a young man. I grew up reading magazines and watching what others were doing, just like you and every other guy at the time. Of course, those who try, make mistakes. It just takes all the wind out of the sails when folks get too serious or over their skis about stuff. I don't do this for a living it's just for fun and I hope others can get some help for their projects or just some entertainment from it. Thanks for the kind words my friend.

Thanks Thomas, I sure appreciate the kind words.
That is one sweet looking, sounding, and running little bike! I'd ride that all over the place.
I agree Johnnie, back in the day the enduros were just coming out, few wanted these anymore. Now looking back, they are just plain cool.
It sounds very good Dale . I always use Blendzall , it is a bit gummy but I have been using it for 50 years with really good luck .
Thank you, years ago I used Blendzall, I think you just use what is available in your area, these days you can get anything sent to your house. I use Caster bean oil (currently Klotz) in my race bikes, but Yamalube in the oil injection bikes.
Don’t let me catch someone being rude to you!!!!
You don’t deserve any rude comments!!!

Thanks Dean, yeah it is irritating what some do. Your right just delete, no place here for that stuff.

Thanks Jim, yes this system keeps the timing retarded to start the engine, then once started the flyweights go out and advance it for normal riding.
Regarding the condenser/capacitor, I think you meant to say 22 microfarads/µf. Farad is the unit name for capacitance. Named after Michael Faraday.
Yes your right.

Another great video Dale. I learn something new on all your videos. Thank you.
Thanks Doug, I sure appreciate you taking the time to watch.

I like the little bikes too, they are really fun.
I appreciate the reply.
have you seen the new fangled connectors that have a soft solder built in?
I saw them on TH-cam I think, haven't tried them yet. I have a lot of solder to use up around here.
Analog ignition.
another job ticked off dale great work as always keep it going
Thanks Mark, I finally got it right......I hope!
Great job, a great motorcycle! What do you do with the original paint? Do you preserve it, do you grow it?
Hi there, all I did on this one was to buff out the old paint with buffing compound. It still has the chips and scratches, but it shined up pretty nice. After that I coated all the painted parts with paste wax.
@@montana2strokeracer Thank you, Sir! :)

Thanks Frank

Hey Dale where did you get the buzzbox ?
Oh wow, have had it for years, not sure where to get them these days, just try a google search I bet something will pop up.
