So true. My '68 Avenger was my most reliable 'companion' for five years. The friend I sold it to promptly seized the engine by running it without 2-stroke oil !

[@user-Borgus]

Craig: When you've got something siezed, try heating the outside as you did. Then, get a can of lighter-filler Butane. It'll freeze and shrink the piston, maybe enough to break it free. My brother had a spark plug siezed in the head of his Chrysler and the Easy Out hadn't worked. There was not much but threads left, and the ceramic was inside the cylinder. We heated the head, then used the butane to shrink what was left of the plug, and it turned out with no problem. I used the method a few times since, and it works. Never used it on a stuck piston, but I will the next time. Good luck! By the way, you and Dan make a great team. Hope your fingers heal soon!

[@RowdyCStuff]

Since it's a two stroke the main bearing and seal are shot so the motor will need opening. Since it's a two stroke opening the motor is common and not a very big deal.

When i was younger (15 to 17)i use to work at a junk yard in P.a and i would take all the motorcycles to the point of having over 150 bikes in my back yard. i use to keep a 55 gallon drum filled half way of diesel and when ever i would get a bike with a frozen engine i would pull the engine and stick in the drum for a week. %90 of the time it would work.

[@johngalt97]

Diesel and white gas/kerosene are great for cleaning chains, too. After soaking/agitating the chain until clean, I spray chain lube between the links (non o-ring) and put it in the sun or a warm oven to let the lube wick in. O-ring chains rob at least 1 HP, and aren't as cost effective as simply replacing conventional type when they wear.

Really screamed, dug trenches with the front wheel off the ground, in 2nd & 3rd gear, even with the clutch slipping bad... Buddy offered to store it for the winter while I was back to school... Ended up being missing the next spring... Sure wish I still had that one!

FYI, your Vessel screwdriver isn’t JIS, it’s ISO 8764-1/DIN 5260, which is designed to fit both Phillips and JIS. JIS B 4633 is what you’re looking for, and the only one I’ve found is Sunflag. I went down this rabbit hole when my Vessel screwdrivers were still stripping screw heads and I wanted to know why.

[@vaibhavdlv]

My new scooter has JIS screws on air cleaner box. It had me confounded for few days when my trusty screwdriver just would not work and started to strip the screws. Thankfully something made me stop and google about this. Turned out I needed another set of screwdrivers. Got that and things worked like a charm!

[@jamsstar2010]

The weird thing is I got 99pence screwdriver from b&q and it fits everything No idea why ? 😂

[@Jeekinz]

You dont need special screwdrivers, just use one from the bikes factory tool kit, its JIS and fits those case cover screws perfectly.

[@TheRealSquirre1]

JIS B 4633 is a defunct standard, there isn't a JIS screw at this point since it was superseded by ISO 8764 so no new drivers are actually JIS, ISO 8764 was heavily influenced by the JIS standard which is reflected in how it's almost the same specification. That's why companies like Vessel and Sunflag don't claim to make JIS anymore and instead just list "Fits JIS". Also for what it's worth, Vessel was involved with the origin of the JIS screw and were the first manufacturer of JIS drivers.

[@rickyfoofighter4926]

This happened to me on a twin 2 stroke once. What really helps is lifting the front wheel as much as you can so the penetrating fluid is distributed evenly across the front and back of the piston. What might have been happening with the Kawasaki is the penetrating fluid gathers towards the front, but the seizure might have been towards the rear of the piston. Hope this tip helps 😊

That's a cool looking bike Craig. I can imagine how awesome that bike looked when it was brand new sitting at the dealers, fresh off the boat. The tank with that cool emblem is the focal point and it's in really good condition. Usually bikes that old are missing at least one emblem and knee pad. Kawasaki should go retro and start using the old emblems on their new bikes... I'm 62 years old and I still remember a lot of the older bikes, but I don't remember ever seeing one of those, not even in a magazine. It's funny that Kawasaki used the name Samurai way back then, and years later Suzuki used it for those little cracker box car things that they made.

[@JJ-xj3vi]

I just fell in love!! This is the bike I never knew I needed. Market place here I come!!!!!!

[@broccli2007]

Awesome bike! I wonder if the crude oil on the rotary valves or bottom end have gummed it up? I've fixed up old rc nitro motors from the 80s and the oil will solidify over time and lock up the engine like this. The cylinders jumped up while you were hammering so we know they're somewhat loose. I'd try and heat the bottom end too, I'm not sure if it'll damage the rotary valves to heat them with a torch but I'd put the heat in that area. The bubbling when you're heating it is also an indicator of old crude oil locking it up

[@broccli2007]

Oh also when you showed the rotary valve close up you could see a drop of oil on the nozzle, so it could have been dripping oil on it for who knows how long, gumming it up even more. On rc engines wd40 helps eat away that gummy substance, new fuel helps too but if you're going to heat it up you should probably not do that 😂.

[@buggin1951]

I remember these bikes so fondly, along with its big brother, the Avenger. I'd love to see Greg restore and raffle this bike.

[@vintubeable]

Thanks for the video.... Quite inspiring... Its an amazing coincidence. My motorcycle was sitting outside for 5 years in all weather conditions. I think the moisture got in through the ports and rust caught up the cylinder wall and seized the piston. I am also going through the same ordeal.... Piston seizure with my Yamaha 2 stroke. I tried pouring different concotions from diesel oil, 2T engine oil, castor oil, coconut oil, vinegar to large amounts of WD-40, which I am still spraying. Only, I have'nt tried the blow torch as it could flame up due to the concotions sitting inside. I am still trying with a wooden block and mallet. I'm hoping to see the piston move without breaking it. Looking forward to your sequel. Good Luck ! 👍😊

Do yourself a favor, my dude. Get yourself a chipping hammer for unsunseizing engines. Think of it like an impact wrench, but going up and down instead of rotating. Just make sure you cover the tip of the hammer with something soft like a piece of wood. You can use a ground rod driver (bit) so you don't have to cover something so sharp like a chisel. You can go even further and fill the ground rod driver with TIG welding and then drill a screw hole or two on it, so you can really attach a piece of wood to it. You can also do this (and more easily, me thinks) by using a bush tool (another chipping hammer bit). You just have to grind the spikes away and then you can go drill and tap a hole into it for the wood. Thank me later. Love your content, dude. It is a real therapy.
