1982 Yamaha XT200 Fools Day Cold Start

[@GregsGarage]

That was eventful... In all the right ways. I'm glad you stuck with it and didn't cliff hang us!

[@vw64manyrd]

+Greg's Garage My foot is killing me but I am glad didn't give up. Thanks for watching!

[@cutworm59]

Great bike! I just traded my 2 dirt bikes for a Beetle. Now I found a 60 van in a cowpasture. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@vw64manyrd]

+cutworm59 Cow pastures are a great place to find old vws... Thanks for watching!

Smashing job :-D The old carburettor can be a pig to get right, but once its clean and the engine has all the dampness driven out it should be much easyer to start :-D The tiny holes in the side of the venturi tube / emulsion tube can catch people out, people often dont know that the tube comes out, so the jets stay plugged:-(. The right heat grade of sparkplug is critical to small engines. I Like the diy filter, looks bang on :-D :-D Motorbikes wont confuse you, you understand big engines and they are far more complex.

[@vw64manyrd]

+zx8401ztv I rode bikes as a kid but they were older than this one. I need some fresher fuel still. this is last years mower fuel. I will get some super to run through it and see how it does. Thanks for watching!

[@zx8401ztv]

+vw64manyrd And thankyou for filming and sharing your interests with us :-D

[@BruceBoschek]

That's a Teikei TK carburetor I believe. Kits are readily available if you ever need one. Great that you got the machine running!

[@vw64manyrd]

+Bruce Boschek Thank you for the information... It is a bit new for me and I had not seen that carb before. I am hoping to not spend much on it as I am just going to have the owner come get it and I was hoping it would run for them. I am doing this just for fun basically. Thanks for watching!

[@RodderFiles]

[@vw64manyrd]

[@mikesteinbeiser4479]

Great video! 9 + years ago I bought that same exact bike as a non running project. This past Friday night 4/1, my buddy and I pushed it out of my shed and attempted to get it running for the first time. We cleaned the carb, fresh fuel and had it running briefly then it died and would not restart. Starting fluid in the cylinder and still nothing. Nice blue spark but just will not fire. Seems to have compression. Going to try and clean the carb again, we may have missed something. I would appreciate any and all suggestions ! Thanks

[@vw64manyrd]

+Mike Steinbeiser My issue was the tiny jet in the center of the carburetor. I could see through the holes in the side but the tiny orifice running through it from top to bottom was clogged. Once cleaned it stayed running for me. Good luck with it and Thanks for watching!

[@DNTB10SE]

Cool video! Just picked up the same bike for my nephew. Same issue....except I'm still not running. Just starts sometimes and stalls. Occasionally I can rev it up....then it eventually just stalls again. :(

[@vw64manyrd]

I don't know much about them... Think I just got lucky. Good luck with yours and Thanks for watching!

[@WallysPlace66]

Good deal. After all those years of sitting. Nice.

[@vw64manyrd]

+WallysPlace66 A fun project for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@jimsteketee8411]

love it when a plan comes together.....lol.....well done....what plan....lol

[@vw64manyrd]

+Jim Steketee Thank you and Thanks for watching!

[@vancemiller47]

I got one of these today

[@vw64manyrd]

Cool bike. Thanks for watching.

[@txsviking]

Now the fun part, the test ride.

[@vw64manyrd]

+txsviking Hopefully next video of it...When I left it I still had a dilemma. Thanks to google think I figured it out but have not been back to test. Thanks for watching!

[@mustie1]

yippy its lives again,, now lets get some jumps et up in the driveway,

[@vw64manyrd]

+Mustie1 I am far to fragile for those shenanigans... A test ride next round though I hope. Thanks for watching!

[@kennethcordero6732]

Hi, nice video! Greetings from Costa Rica! I really need some help with the electrical system of this bike, do you think you can help me?

[@vw64manyrd]

I really don't know anything about the Electricals of this type of bike. I am sure g00gle would have some information. Thanks for watching.

[@dougreffner1067]

Does your neutral light come on when you turn the key on... or only when the engine is running? Trying to determine if my battery needs any charging. I haven't ran mine in like 10+ years and I put a new battery in it and cant remember if that light comes on with the key or only when engine is creating current.

[@vw64manyrd]

I don't have a battery that is any good to check. My guess is that with a good battery it would light if in neutral and key on Thanks for watching.

[@ryanward9466]

The how many turns out did you set the pilot screw on the bottom of the carburetor for a starting point? I just got the same bike.

[@vw64manyrd]

Sorry I can't remember. There should be a video someplace of a similar carb and adjustment procedures. Thanks for watching.

[@tharuka_samarakoon]

do you have a service manual or CDI unit diagram of this? If have can I have it please?

[@vw64manyrd]

I have no paperwork with it. Thanks for watching.

[@derrickyoung4037]

Do you know what size kick start lever fits bike?

[@vw64manyrd]

I don't know how they size the kick lever. This one is equiped the original. Thanks for watching.

[@TheWwong]

Did you remember to change the blinker fluid? Lol

[@vw64manyrd]

+ICU2 they were out of stock at the local parts house... back ordered on amazon. Whats a fella to do? Thanks for watching!

[@MrWillis5719]

Like it when it doesn't cost anything other then gas.

[@vw64manyrd]

+MrWillis5719 Low budget repairs are my favorite as well especially since this is not my bike and I am trying to get it going just for fun. If I am successful it will be easier for the owner to either sell it or use it. Thanks for watching!
