Nice one. Stick a supercharger on it for more power.

Have you taken it off any sweet jumps?

Definitely try to make it faster ⚡

And if that's not enough trouble for ya, buy a Triumph car.😆

Viewer give away, to a kid that needs a starter quad. That maybe can not afford one.

Brilliant!

That thing is hilarious! Its so small!

The hi-lo beam switch probably changes the earth from one globe filament to the other.

I like it. Picasso

Try bypassing the kill switch, remove the black wire going from the coil to the kill switch and try again. This got it sparking again for me, had exactly the same issue

Hey man I had this exact same problem on my 97 Xplorer 500. My issue was the stator. Threw a cheap eBay one in and it sparked like crazy and hasn’t had a problem since.

Holy hell. No spark and you dont put a new plug in it? Change the spark plug and go from there.

Its bizzare problem is its a polaris aka JUNK 😂

Bad CDI ??

I had a similar problem, turned out to be the throttle shut off, gotta be somewhere in that jumble

Old bikes are fun, I have a 1970 XS650 chopper conversion, 1970 Trail 90, 1978 ATC90 and a 1985 Honda XR350R. They keep you humble, learning things that are long forgotten like points, carburetors, compression release.

Is the bizarre problem the owner? I bet it's the owner.

every truck you get has to have a stupid topper on it doesn't it? :/

Remember to clean ALL contacts that you can with Isopropyl alcohol and a Q tip/ Cotton ball as well as brush for any thick corrosion. Especially with low voltage any corrosion/ oxides can severely mess with voltage and resistance. I just cleaned out my old LED flashlight and it’s 3x as bright. At least get the bulb contacts and any exposed connectors . My bike dynamo had the same problem of flickering and dimming, but after cleaning just the bulb it’s way better.

I love vintage motorcycles. I have a few. But they don't ride like modern bikes.

This channel is right up my alley!

Man you’ve been uploading a lot lately! Love it!

Just wait until you finally get laid… that will be the next best 30 seconds of your life 😂😂😂

Hahaha, oh man this is so relatable… even my kids and wife said you this me 😂

Yea man they are a lot more than a bike they are your life yea

I believe you will get it going.you gotta fix someone elses"Well lets just say its not running now.. No worries you will find the problem.🍀😄

Make sure you’re getting 12volts at the voltage regulator on the red wire ! If not that then remove wire from circuit at cdi that grounds out ignition. This will bypass all kill switches that shut down the ignition circuit

Sad you couldn't get it running! That's a weird problem to have!

Was the Polaris run in salt water? It's very hard on metal's, wiring etc

I have 2 classics paid $100 each. First is a 1974 CT90. Got it running, bought a carb, chain, F&R tires and tubes. Got about $325 in it now. Second is my 1978 Yamaha XT500. It sat in the open west Texas desert for 12+ years. Got it fired up. Bought a carb, F&R tires and tubes and just replaced the clutch cable. Got about $450 in it now. Both run well and are fun.

Glad the 2-stroke oil pump is still working for you! On the 185 it also oils a bearing.

I've had three Suzy TS trailbikes (amongst a number of other bikes) in my 60+ years and if you get a good one they are unkillable. And if it's already been killed, it's usually down to previous owners'' neglect or mechanical incompetence. And while they're not rocket ships they're still a (2-stroke) blast to ride.

So funny, thanks! I had 2 TS 185's. The sound of your 250 is pretty good.

Great video, glad you’re lights are working 😊😊😊

I am glad it worked in the end. I could totally be wrong but my theory as to why your light tester didn’t work is that the capacitor needs to be “charged” first before any voltage will go to the light. The capacitor is probably used as some type of buffer that smooths out the varying power coming from the engine at different rpms. Either way, glad you got it going and street legal. I remember getting a 76 cb360 back on the road and getting pulled over because of no headlight. Enjoying the vids on this one and the little Honda!

Lets get that driveline in the car, can't wait to see it go!

What is with the gas leaks? Fist the Spitfire, then the c110 and now the green Yamaha?

Love the CT1! I have one myself, same green actually, but I went off the deep end and got one of the upgraded 12v stators for it lol. However It did blow the 6v headlight when I first started it lol

Needs more zipties

the 4 wheeler will be bananas

2:51 thats a solid tool! Learn something new everyday (Yes Im a noob)

Dire truth can be funny sometimes. I rode a TS125 in 1975-76, then some bugger stole it. I'd love that TS250. Now there's DR650 in my garage.

Bad luck. Could you fit a metal fuel line if the rubber one is dissolving?

As the saying goes...and for classic bikes, buy the best you can afford.

Like the TS250 !
