So glad i found your channel. I've commented on another of your videos but have to on this. It's the exact bike my dad had. He put a big sprocket on the back, 60t i think. Would only do about 50mph. He only used it off road. Dad had a hook on his left arm and we bent the end of the clutch lever so his hook wouldn't slip off. He only used it for taking off. After that no clutch. Bike lasted for ages with no clutch out trans issues. Thanks again for all your videos😊

Thanks for sharing and tuning in! That’s impressive that your dad was still riding. That would keep most people off a bike. More power to him!

Had one just like it. I had a blast on that bike. Road it for a couple of years, lost the rings in it. Rebuilt it and sold it to my buddy. Still runs. His kids ride it now.

Interesting..!! I've been chasing a "no spark" condition on my 1975 DT 250. This gives me something else to check that I never thought of. Thanks for the video, great sleuthing, if that's even a word! Cheers.

@@Garage2Trail I figured it out finally. The primary coil winding was open circuit! Finding a replacement coil was the hardest part. The 3rd coil worked (hard to find parts here in Canada). Cheers.

That’s great that you got it figured out! Are you looking for a whole stator replacement or just a primary coil? I have yet to run into a bad primary on any of the bikes I’ve worked on so far.

I used to spray the stator with contact cleaner and it seemed to do the trick with the 74 YZ250 I acquired.

Good place to start! It’s almost always the points on these old bikes that I’ve worked on. In this bikes case it was the points covered in corrosion and the coil wire that needed soldered back together.

I’m trying to spark a ct1 with no luck. My flywheel feels like it’s welded to the frame. Will not come out. I felt so happy when I say the spark in your video. May be someday I’ll be able to do that with mine as well Thanks 🙏

Do you have a flywheel puller? It’s almost impossible to get those off without it.

@@Garage2Trail So I’m working on two projects. A RD60 and a CT1. I bought a pulley puller for the RD60 flywheel only to gall up the threads. At least with the RD60, I was about to remove the nut. On my CT1, I’m not able to remove the nut. Which pulley puller do you recommend? Can you please provide a link?

@allahdaniel212 sorry for the late response! The puller I have was given to me. I think it’s an old one from the 70s and there is no stampings or anything on it. If you search on Amazon or even eBay, I’m sure there are quality ones in there amongst the Chinese junk.

Could you show me how to test the stator ignition coils? I have the stator off the enginge. 😊I think I have a short because when I test the black or any color wire (with points open with cardboard) and i touch the stator base plate i have continuity which i think I'm not supposed to have

That’s sounds like you are testing it correctly…at least that’s the way I determined my points needed removed and thoroughly cleaned up removing any bits of rust and corrosion. You may need to replace the points as well.

Currently working on an '81 DT100 - finding parts in many areas of the bike are hard to get my hands on. What sources do you use outside of Ebay? I love these bikes and would like to work on/restore more of them, but parts availability is my primary concern. Great content, keep up the good work.
@Garage2Trail
@Garage2Trail 2 жыл бұрын
I hear ya…some parts can be tough to find. Where are you located and what parts are you testing to hunt down? My first spot is eBay but I’ll first go to partzilla or babbits Yamaha to look at parts views for each area of the bike and get the manufacturer part number. Then I’ll use that to search eBay and google in general.

@@Garage2Trail I'm in Idaho. I do the same for OEM parts - I check Rocky Mountain ATV/MC to look at availability and/or part numbers and go from there...So it sounds like we are basically doing the same thing to find parts....thanks.

Ahh I was gonna say if you were closer to Ohio they have a massive parts swap goin on at AMA Vintage Days this coming weekend. You could also join a few Yamaha DT groups on Facebook if you use that and post what your are looking for on there. Some guys are scrap yard owners and can pull stuff off bikes in their yard. I got a few parts for my 75 DT250B that I did over the winter that way.
