Yup, I'm looking around for cheap original replacements to chop a little bit, but it'll work for now. I've found a few front and rear options for pretty cheap so they'll get ordered pretty soon. Sent from my SM-N950U using DO THE TON mobile app

Seat on, lookin rad haha. Some quick carb tuning and a new shift seal soon and shazam it'll be on the road. Sent from my SM-N950U using DO THE TON mobile app

Back again! I'm the only one reading these at this point haha but some progress has been made. I had a leak coming out of the right side of the engine, basically oil was just pouring out of the cover for the oil filter so I replaced the gaskets there inside and out and it's fixed now. The bike...

Back again! Fixed the right cylinder not firing issue by cleaning the gnarly gunk out of the float valve and putting it back together. Turns out the valve would stick a little here and there, which was causing an on again off again problem, but it's solved now. On to new problems with easy...

Whooo boy dead thread revive! I've been super busy and tinkering around in between so here's a dump of photos. My buddy, whose dad I bought the bike from, has a graveyard of old parts laying around so we stole some shorter signals and some other stuff, as well as cleaned up wiring, replaced the...

I just popped a jam nut onto each stud for now. I'm going to take the engine out in a few months, along with stripping everything down to clean and maybe repaint the frame, so it'll have to wait until then. I'm concerned that the threads on the studs are weak enough that a jam nut will just...

Alright, shift shaft seal replaced with a legit gasket and clip. I figured out that the green wire with the bullet connector goes to a little input that turns on the neutral indicator, which also taught me that I'm not too sharp haha. I'm assuming the exhaust studs are just threaded into the...

Welp, after a completely stripped exhaust stud nut and some creative wiggling, I got it and the left side cover off. Didn't wanna take the whole stator thing off because I'm just doing a couple gaskets. Here's a couple pictures. I got the shift rod gasket off, and as soon as I find the key to...

Can't edit for some reason, but here's a picture of the thing. This stuff is all filthy and I'm gonna tear it down in a couple months to clean it all so don't judge me haha. This is the "shift shaft seal" apparently and I need that rubber o-ring. I'll probably just get all three of them and do...

Heyo, not done yet haha. Looks like I've got a couple oil leaks to sort out. One of them is just coming from the cover over the clutch, so I'm going to replace that gasket and make sure those surfaces are flat. The other is coming from behind the circlip on the rod attached to the shift lever...

I'm trying haha, there are so few cool 175 cafés though! Sent from my SM-N950U using DO THE TON mobile app

Thanks dude! The urge to go full hack and slash Cafe is strong, but I think eventually I'll just strip it down and clean it up a little. I figure there's plenty of 360s out there I can tear up, but this is the first year of this little bike and I should probably just leave it as a survivor haha...

Hey guys! Mostly Teazer who seems to be the only one following along haha. Since my last post I've been working three jobs and didn't have time for scooters. Found a little break after moving and balanced and tuned carbs, replaced plugs, did valve lash, and got this little thing to run. I was...

Alright more weirdness! I put the carbs back on and can start the bike with the choke on. I lost the bar that goes between the choke levers somewhere so I just open them both manually. The left jug wasn't getting hot after a couple minutes of running, so I killed the bike and pulled the plug to...

Right. The big screw in the carb on the top blocks off a passage to a tube that goes into the bowl. I'm missing the corresponding screw on the other carb, I just took the picture like a spaz haha. Would that screw missing from the other carb be causing me problems? I'm gonna try to replace it...
