The 1977 Yamaha gt80 bike build part 4 FIRST START

[@DerveyZ]

That gas tank is just BEAUTIFUL

[@2strokeguru]

Thank you

[@maltejuergensen2118]

Good job on getting the bike going …. Are the GT50’s basically the same bike with the 80 just having a larger piston? Are any of the parts interchangeable?

[@bdadsmagee]

Hey from your videos you seem really knowledgeable about these bikes what is the best way to split the engine do you think.

[@2strokeguru]

i have videos on splitting the case

Kevin! Love your vidoes on the 77 GT80. Ty! I am going to leverage the cdi swap once I get mine running right. In any event can you help guide me on what you’d check next? I have 74 GT80. It starts right up with choke and then dies. If i hold my fingers mostly over the carb air intake hole it continues to run and will rev up. Does this suggest it is getting air elsewhere? Thoughts??? Appreciate it!

I'm doing a 5speed swap next

[@2strokeguru]

Thank you for your support

[@2strokeguru]

Sounds like it's not getting the fuel through the idle circuit

[@c0munguyforcaz]

Could you do an update video on the Bombardier Rally 200 ? Because I also need to fix the carburetor intake as well (:

[@2strokeguru]

I sold the rally 200

[@c0munguyforcaz]

Nooooooooooo

[@2strokeguru]

Are you in the us

[@c0munguyforcaz]

@@2strokeguru no, in Europe

[@c0munguyforcaz]

@@2strokeguru posted a vud on how to start it but the carburetor is still not connected to the air witch is bad because dust can get in.

[@jessearellano1773]

Can you do a video of the oil injection if it works or not.

[@2strokeguru]

I have oil injection videos do you mean on the gt80

[@jessearellano1773]

Yes I have a 1974 GT 80 and the hose are cut off so I don’t know where they go. Hope you could help me.

[@2strokeguru]

@@jessearellano1773 I will do that this week thank you

[@tomgolden8996]

Kevin the GT is looking good. She smokes like Pittsburgh. What happened to the LT 125 you got from Harvey last year, are you planning any videos on that?

[@2strokeguru]

Yes I talked about it at the end of the video they are coming up

[@saqibnawaz5139]

Gud to see GT passed through diagnostic ordeal of first start in 20years

When you paint the ammo cans Kawasaki green, can you provide the source where you ordered the paint? Currently looking for a good source and a reasonable price. Thanks!

[@2strokeguru]

Yes I will do that

[@kimondickson2791]

You can check colorrite.com they sell paint specifically for motorcycles

[@2strokeguru]

@@kimondickson2791 I will do that

Hi Kevin, I have enjoyed all of your videos. I have a 1992 and 2001 ke 100. I would like to know what pet cocks for fuel tank are the best to buy and where to get them. I purchased one and it leaked from brand new. Thanks again for all of your help with your videos. Jeff

[@2strokeguru]

Any petcock is good they don't really have brand names I actually use a Chinese knockoff on mine had it 3 years no issues I bought it on Ebay

[@2strokeguru]

Thank you for your support

[@drakematteson4670]

I always get mine off amazon. Work great

[@drakematteson4670]

Hey man where do you get your parts for this bike? I’ve got a 1980 GT80. I’m trying to get the gasket for the float bowl. Bike is pissing out. I don’t know what mm size it is

[@2strokeguru]

[@drakematteson4670]
