Kevin... My goodness, welcome back my friend. Welcome back, good to hear and see you again.

[@2strokeguru]

thank you Larry

Thanks for making this video. I have the exact engine that I will be rebuilding this summer from an 81 MX80. Transmission is stuck in a gear and won't shift up or down.

[@frankdillon6127]

glad to see ya back!

[@2strokeguru]

Thank you

Glad to see you back.

Hi stranger, nice to see ya back, nice job, better to find a new piston than a stuck one. Kevin you might want to check the shift shaft to see if its bent. If it was crashed on the shifter side it can get bent. I find a lot that way and have to straighten them. Welcome back bud.

Kevin is the man listen closely to him if you’re into older 2strokes!

So... not from the same video, but I can't find any other videos about the high compression head on the GT80. Did it work out good? Did it make it hard to tune as far as jetting or anything? Also how much did you have to get milled out of the head for the piston clearance? Thanks

[@2strokeguru]

Sorry I'm just seeing this now I apologize for the delay yes the hi compression head from the rx50 made notable power just remember now this engine is stuck running hi octane

On a 1977 KE 175 what is the silver and black thing by the coil and ignition ? It’s got two wires running to it

[@2strokeguru]

Flasher

[@cainbeeping8480]

@@2strokeguru nope the flasher is by the battery. I emailed a pic to Dale he didn’t know he does more Suzuki and Yamahas.

Where's the 2nd part? I can't find it

[@raytheguyinthechair2791]

So when I picked up the bikes he told me he just put a new piston and ring in it. And he was running it without the air filter

[@2strokeguru]

Never started with this piston

Cylinder looks great

Massachusetts for now moving to Florida end of year

[@chadhanebrink8009]

@@2strokeguru I thought it sounded New England-ish. I just moved to Connecticut and just bought a GT80 today (my third one). Any chance you have any extra bits laying around?
