Stick with Japanese bikes. Mid 80s up (water cooled). Hondas are most sought after so the price will be higher. May have parts issues with the older bikes though. Thanks for watching.

With Chinese parts, you are taking a risk. I have used the aftermarket piston and cylinder for the TTR 125 and they are pretty solidly made. Of course that’s a mild engine that doesn’t rev very high. Little different story with the race bikes

Hi Rooster, just love the videos and currently watching your latest on the TT model. I seen when you opened the carb and it was truly ugly. If I may make a tool suggestion, get yourself a ultrasonic cleaner. It would easily have cleaned that carb in 30 mi utes and all the jets too. I was sceptical about them being able to clean badly gummed, and varnished carbs but they make easy work of them and will save you a few bucks too. I bought mine from Vevor and have been totally impressed as I see so many gummed up carbs and people who use ethanol fuel and then leave their bikes outside in the element's too causing big time issues. Anyhow I encourage you to look into it as it will save you a few bucks. I first watched it from another KZbin person fixing bikes, quads and sxs, etc. After seeing you with the endoscope/bore scope I'm putting my order in. Although I'm from BC Canada and suspect I won't be able to use your code for a savings but I liked your intro to it and can see the benefits. Keep up the great videos as I've learned a few tricks from you and appreciate your abilities. Cheers!

As long as you use my link, I’ll get the credit and I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t use my discount code (if they have a better offer when you get to the page, feel free to use that). Thanks for your advice, I do have an ultrasonic cleaner and they work fantastic but I generally don’t even bother with a carburetor this bad, just asking for a lot of troubleshooting time afterwards. I am a huge advocate for using ethanol free fuel if you watch any of my videos and that’s what a lot of my merch is about. Thanks for your comment.

The original owner contacted me after watching the video last night and gave me a little more backstory. They shipped it to Georgia in 2008 but didn’t get to move here until 2022 so it’s sat outside for a little while and then moved to his brother‘s basement. It was his wife’s bike. I asked him if they wanted it back, but unfortunately, she’s having health issues and can no longer ride.

good evening, my engine ran out of oil, because the oil filter was upside down and didn't get oil up with the consequence of sticking the piston and damaging the cylinder as well the head is very good, not damaged the good thing is that the engine did not stall while I was driving it I went to put it in front and the crank wouldn't go down is there a chance that if I put a new piston and cylinder the connecting rod will knock;; now there is no vacancy in the connecting rod Whats ur opinion;
@restoroosterohv 6 күн бұрын
Generally, the lack of lubrication due to the oil pump system causes more damage to the top end. The big end bearing usually gets dunked in the sump oil as it spins. Obviously, check for up-and-down play of the connecting rod and make sure that it rotates freely and you should probably be OK.
@ΒασιληςΧαραπας 6 күн бұрын
@restoroosterohv i have done the connecting rod up and down and there are no gaps, tommorow i am waiting for the new cylinder and piston with rings So i will put it and we will see...because someone told me when the engine gets compression the connecting rod will hit because it's left with oil
