- This is the second bike that I wanted to do a frame-up restoration. The other has moved on to a new owner. This thing has fought me from the beginning and this video is no exception.
Well Jack wiring can drive you crazy. But I have faith in you.
So can memory loss Cain. Watch the next video and I'll explain.
Dang Jack, this is a true mystery!! I have had a heck of a time fighting a gremlin on the 73 DT3 I have. It will run like a new bike after I work on it, I park it for a few days and it will not want to run. I have been fighting with it for almost a year and still can't figure it out. Keep at it I know you will get it worked out.
I've still got a little hair left, but not yet to the point where I'm going to start pulling it out.
Don't ya just love wiring troubles. Cheers
Not when the faulty wiring is in my brain. lol

hi, Jack!
I liked & Subscribed. Northern Indiana Here.
@@indianachrisUDX1313 Thanks Chris.
@@oldguysoldbikes You're welcome Jack! I'm watching more of your video's right Now! I'm 63 and I still tinker around with similar Stuff, Mostly small engines, ETC.
I didn't hear the normal pa ding sound while riding?
Ya, it sounds kind of muted, along with not having any power. The plug seems a bit too wet as well.

I kind of remember a guy who had the silencer plug up?
But that was a long time ago with golden spectro
It was plugged at one time, but it's been cleaned out, but ya it does sound that way.

My knowledge is more for the mx YZ250s starting in 77. Things that caused issues for me was a rod that during a lock up became shorter than it should have been. it looked and worked just fine, but being a little shorter messed things up.
Another is the piston. Yamaha changed the intake side skirt of the piston every year. Make sure the piston you used matches the original.
Also simple things like too much oil or the wrong oil in the air filter will also do what you having issues with.
I just found your channel so don't be upset if I go over thing you have already covered.
@@MichianaFisherman Thanks Michiana, I NEVER get upset with people who respond to my videos. Even if what they say is, shall we say, not flattering to me.
can you say how you advertise the bikes?
Facebook Marketplace and a couple Facebook groups with a link to a TH-cam video.
I appreciate your stick to it-tiveness. I'm almost embarrassed to suggest this, but considering your meticulousness, I'm wondering if it's not something simple, like the ignition switch. When you were testing for spark that last time in the video, was the key in the ON position? Keep up the good work!
Once again as I said in the video; thank goodness it was ALMOST! Why would I say that? Well, it could be because you are absolutely correct. I believe that I must have left the key in the OFF position and because I had the wire to the ignition coil disconnected I forgot that the ground put on the coil from the switch is still connected to the part of the circuit that I was trying to test. I'll explain more in my next video. Thanks a bunch for your input. I haven't looked yet, but I'm pretty sure that's it.
just for fun, how did you learn to pronounce stator with a short (a) i have always used the long (a). st-A- tor or st-at-or.
Never thought much about it. Probably heard someone say it that way a long time ago. lol
