Was it sunk in a lake, ridden on salted roads?? 😅 what a mess but your killing it Joe, like always, Vinny's there to keep you chill!!!

[@jamiebouchard9862]

Definitely clogged up exhaust, most likely the silencer. Barely any smoke was coming out the tailpipe.

[@andrewmapes8205]

exactley what i said

[@danielthomas7318]

That poor bikes had a hard life! That crank was filthy. Needs full rebuild IMO. Also a new cylinder head that weld doesn’t fill me with confidence. As others have said the pipe looks blocked. My biggest concern would be those frame rails though 🙈 good luck joe great content as usual

[@brucebird133]

I agree with you on that weld... the condition on the rest of the bike would give me no confidence at all in that weld.

[@brucebird133]

​@ClickOnProfile_30people still fall for this shit?

[@jameshodge6731]

There is one part of that carb common problem. There is a gasket you didnt change goes bad. Its under the 2 torque screws . Look up JDMK05 kit and how to install. Jd jettings also has jet/needle kits for these bikes. I enjoy your videos and always learn something. Thank you for making them.

LOL get a real job @ClickOnProfile_30

[@bevis226]

If you replace the side cover gasket you might as well replace the Water pump impeller shaft and bearings and seals. If the bearings are worn even a little bit the impeller shaft and seals will both be worn. Problem is that the seals end up wearing grooves in the shaft because the bearings are worn. I just rebuilt a 96 RM 125 a few months ago that someone had "Rebuilt" and it overheated because all of the coolant ended up in the oil. Luckily it did not hurt the bottom end but I did have to get the cylinder bored .005 over to clean it up.

[@Jeffrose_]

Joe, It looked like exhaust was coming out everywhere except the tail pipe. I think the guy did a triple back flip into a lake 😮😢

[@stubones]

A long time ago a neighbour owned a Yamaha IT 175. It had no compression. You could “kick” start it by hand easily, but it ran beautifully and pulled hard. Never saw the like again. 🤷 by contrast our Suzuki 185 was very hard to kickstart.

Dude, if I had HALF of your knowledge I would be a very happy man! Amazing.

[@2strokemxclassics]

Check the barrell were it's been welded,somethings up cos the full stud came out they need torqued in and loctite b4 u torque head nuts, if the skirt inside is damaged or cracked were weld the coolant will be going down the cylinder coolant grooves but might be cracked inside at the front letting coolant into the bore

[@Pittsburgh-412]

Like others have said, you had more smoke coming from the engine than out the exhaust. It may be clogged or have water in it. I'm thinking this bike was sunk or was exposed to salt water somehow because of the rust and corrosion

[@johnlouis5200]

i was gonna say the same. that back pipe is blocked solid

[@jonathanglanville5265]

Yep,agree,the exhaust is blocked must of been laying in a ditch,to take that amount water into the engine.

[@ronalddaub9740]

I'll tell you one more time the transmission on a 2 stroke is completely separate from the engine.. now it could have gotten water in the engine.and transmission . But there COMPLETELY SEPARATE ON A 2 STROKE

[@ridgeridermoto]

What a project... I love fixing up old bikes, but I only ride newer bikes now and they are so much more reliable. This thing is a piece of crap, I wouldn't pay much for it. You basically need a new bike. Thanks for showing us your projects!!!

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Had one like that a guy brought in, used an atv thumb throttle to get it going then put new twist throttle on when got it done. Worked awesome.

[@itarry4]

Whilst I'm always impressed by your knowledge and ability it does annoy me that you're perfectly happy to do a half assed job just to get it running. That engine had obviously been full of water, the coolant leak, etc. You just Breeze past these issues just to fire it up even though there's a fair chance you're doing more damage even if it's minor. What's wrong with doing it right first time occasionally? On a bike like this it's not really an issue accept it's a Yamaha but on some stuff you do it can be really annoying. OCD I guess.

Oversized piston sometimes has larger jets. Pinched clutch gasket can leak.

[@awesomeproducts1582]

I’m about halfway through the video so I don’t know if you caught this yet, but I do not see a clamp on the intake boot for the carb. If you have not already put one on, make sure to put on there than can cause a lean condition and cause the motor to blow

[@paulshort2555]

Enjoy your videos easy living doing what you enjoy

[@oldgreybeard2507]

Interesting and extremely informative.

[@motorcore_usa]

another way to add compression is re sleeving your cylinder or re plating if there are any cracks/scratches. Sometimes with the older bikes the cylinder gets worn down a lot and a new piston + rings wont be enough

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Better lock tight those studs.. great vid.

[@sinistar426]

When it started, it didn't look like the exhaust was coming out of the tail pipe the way it should, like it was clogged. When you got on the throttle, barely any smoke was coming out of the tail pipe vs out the front end by the engine itself.

[@Blake91818]

You ain’t ever gonna start that with a Honda sweater on. 😆

[@72mmALKYDRAGGIN]

Get a sharpie and put the piston inside the cylinder, then trace out the outline of the intake and make the piston windows match the intake! That will make it have WAY BETTER THROTTLE RESPONSE!! I then see what a squish test reveals and then deck the head to get that compression UP TO GET THAT PIPE HIT STRONGER!!! The 2-smokes are SO EASILY UPGRADEABLE!!

What you need to do while you're waiting for the rings you need to remove the radiator and open the fins so it can move air better

[@ProjectsWithPat]

42:45 The silencer is seriously plugged. notice there is very little exhaust coming out the rear of the machine. It all puffed out the cracks around the machine exhaust. repack the silencer and it will breath.

Mr Vintage, You went through a lot of trouble taking apart the top end and carb but did you put a new ring on this? Surely you did but I don’t see it. Also make sure to connect the two videos together so we can see after you get it together and running perfect as well as a brief assessment of what the problem was again. This is like watching a movie and then right at the end when we are all ready for the good part the movie shuts off. It’s cold bro

[@Chevchild]

Don't really like the welded cylinder. ? Water jacket crack communication.

[@hunterstump9748]

That cylinder has either been torched before or something you can see the weld on the top of it. I’d ditch that cylinder because they’re plated that’s definitely a 56 mm so it’s been bored it’s been sank too I bet the crank is trashed also

[@johnb5519]

Coolant leaking into the combustion chamber or cylinder, probably washed down the cylinder, wearing out the piston ring.

[@JoeTheBlacksmith13]

Yeah, maybe that weld on the cylinder didn’t fix the crack completely

[@jerrywoodworth5714]

At 28:19 if you pause it, there is a crack near the "welded" area. Unless I'm blind.

[@mitchellevans4277]

That shifter is welded into on the splines

[@EC-mc7vg]

She's been rode hard and put up wet, literally. Needs to be completely gone through and checked out. Noticed the large ring gap right away, needs a new ring at minimum, possibly a piston. The welded crack on the cylinder on a water cooled engine worries me a bit. Will be interesting to see what you find as you dig deeper.

[@billhenry7833]

You aren’t worried about the integrity of a rusted mx chassis?

[@RadioReprised]

Seems strange but notice there is very little exhaust flow out the muffler in time with the revs......plugged up pipe?

[@michaelschlup-c5o]

get some black rust bullet on the frame after fixing the rest of the issues ... the stuff is tough and cheaper than powder coating frame ...

I think you were right ... this thing was a parts bike.. or built up from 3-4 shitters to make 1 junk When it fired up at round 43 min mark, it sounds horribly sick.....

Hey Joe! What do you think about doing a good detailed video on a boat outboard motor winterization process? Maybe on your fishing boat you still have in your front yard? There are ones out there but not very good in my opinion... Thanks! 😁

[@williamevans6468]

Not a bad question but I am curious as to why you would need to winterize an outboard boat motor unless it has a closed cooling system such as a motorcycle or car has? I am only asking because I do not own a boat and never have but I was under the impression that outboard boat motors are an open liquid cooling system meaning they suck water out of the body of water they are in and discharge that water back into the body of water. Again, I have no real knowledge of these types of engines so I am just curious as to why that would need to be done as well as if I am just completely wrong with my understanding of them?

[@just_in_time5518]

Hi Will 😁Well i do know what your talking about but from what i see on some other videos... That there is more involved if you want to do it right. Cylinders should be fogged with fogging oil.(spark plugs changed and that time if you want to) Lower transom oil should be changed incase there's some water mixed in with it so it does not frieze. And some other smaller things... I have a 25hp mercery on a 15 footer i got this past spring and i just want to do it right cause its going to sit out in a cold back yard this winter. Hope you have a nice day 😎.@@williamevans6468

[@williamevans6468]

@@just_in_time5518 I appreciate your response and by no means do I know what I am talking about with one of these engines.But from what you said, it seems legit that you might add oil into the cylinders just to ensure they are well coated and wont rust. Not sure why the spark plug would need to be changed unless there is a concern that rust may occur. I would be terrified if I needed to lower my trans oil just in the event that water may have been introduced into the engine. That means you would need to do a rebuild. Lowering the trans oil will do nothing to prevent or fix the issue. Seems to me that you just need to do a normal end of season maintenance. I could be completely wrong but I doubt it.
