01marc that just sold me. thanks so much for this information.

yeah just got back from the car wash and i'm soaking wet. cases came out not so bad. theres still some gunk in some crevices i couldn't get out. so now i guess my new question is this. since this thing is a two stroke and the cases are aluminum i would say sand blasting is just out of the...

thanks everyone the car wash idea is pretty brilliant. i think my wife would actually for real murder me if i used the dishwasher. dont own any rain gear so i guess i'll just wear some shorts. will let you know how it goes.

hey yall just finished tearing down an old bsa 2 stroke and the inside of the cases is just coated with old varnished gas. the outsides are pretty nasty as well but i could clean that up just on a bench. i do not have access to an actual parts washer so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL1nyrmOKSY this is the exact noise. is this person right? is my timing off a tooth? please help!

HEEEEEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP

ticking noise near the head. i did two tappet adjustments and it was still there. all i could really find in any manuals and online is to adjust the cam chain tension. when i unscrewed the lock nut for the adjustment nothing happened. the adjustment screw was all the way down anyways. i ended up...

i will keep that in mind for future projects.

sorry my dog just posted that. but the bike didnt run when i got it. i opened it up and there was pieces of the piston missing and the valves were beat to hell etc. i rebuilt it and stripped everything off the bike in the process. it had also been wrecked before i got it so it was just ugly...

really appreciate the help. bit the bullet and ordered some jets and gonna go from there. thanks again!

ok ok i feel ya. in my service manual it says theres an 88 main jet. you suggest 105? to stick with the look i have going with the exhaust right now, could i just weld a big washer to the inside of the pipe to create more back pressure? or huge waste of time? totally crazy? stupid even? thx for...

went to a straight pipe and new air filter so i know i need to get a bigger main jet i'm just not sure how to go about this. is there anything i need to buy? a new needle? or do i just drill out the current jet a mm or so bigger? bike idles fine and runs good low, but theres just no power left...

excellente thanks so much! thats an easier pill to swallow.

trying to put a fancy new plug wire on a 1980 cb125 got the boot off but the end at the coil seems to be a sort of permanent attachment. also i looked at the exploded view of it on parts pit stop and it seems like when it was available they sold the entire coil and wire as one part. does anyone...

i have a 1980 cb125 and the whole thing is 6v. its pretty hard (i think?) to find decent lighting options that are 6v and not some ugly plastic garbage so i bought a 12v headlight and just figured i'd swap the innards from the old light for this one. but the best laid plans... so my question...
