[@georgesteffens7489]

I think that engine came together quite nicely especially from where it began! I look forward to the final final riding video but thank you for sharing all the details you did! Take care!

[@TheMotorcycleMD]

There will be one! I still have a laundry list of small silly stuff to knock out before she hits the pavement 🤙🏻 thanks for watching!

Great series mate, ill be tearing down and doing a full rebuild of at least one of these bikes, so this series has been invaluable. I have two available to me (for free!) One was dads old bike that he's had from new since 1981 which has sat for the better part of 3 decades but is complete, which I want to get running and restore for him. The other is a great donor bike for a project, missing most of the fenders and lights but should make for good bones for a more custom bike.

So I look forward to seeing You there this year! LOVED watching You get this thing running again,and Oh your poor doggie,who just wants to be played with! Lol. Haha,as always Cody,great video! : >)

Cody, can you do a quick review of the electrical system? I want to make sure all my connections are accurate. The electrical diagram is challenging to read through and make sure it's exact.

Hi Cody, thanks for your very detailed and instructive videos. Best ones out there. I have this same bike and was told I needed to adjust the pulse rotor-to-generator gap, as per the manual. I’ve been unable to find the manual online. Can you please share what that gap value is for this bike? Thanks!

[@Soyjuan_mecanico]

Good afternoon, could you help me with the following. Should the advancer and pulser be aligned when the steering wheel reads T or F? Thank you

[@vermhot]

Dude that bike sounds absolutely amazing!! How come you used 2 stroke oil to lubricant the advance ?? Great video as always !

[@diegomuuo929]

Hello Cody, could share your thoughts on what is faulty in my bike its a 125cc Yamaha, problem am getting is it lacks power when climbing a gentle slope even with full throttle you can't feel the power of fuel burning inside the engine, but when going down the slope you can feel the bike accelerate and happy. I have cleaned the carb exchanged it with another and no different results. Just to let you know it doesn't have starting or idling issues. Any help or ideas on where to check much appreciated

I have a 1981 xl185 that has a spinning speedmoter, but the odometer works. I'm not sure what the problem is, do you have any suggestions?
