You put a 250 cylinder on a 225 with the rings upside down and it still ran, not to bad :) Overall I enjoyed the video and hope you make more!

@MrCodgedodger 9 ай бұрын

Heck of a job. Rings are always letter up, and the ring gaps have to be spaced according to the service manual, else it'll always be burning oil / smoking. But it runs, so I suppose it doesn't matter. lol

That may not be the original seat for that 4 wheeler. Nice video!!! I hope you're enjoying your vacation. Good luck with finals .

Nice. I had that exact bike but in gray. I gave it pure hell. Rode it like a racing bike sliding and jumping hills. Took it through more mud than you can imagine. I ran a 1” bigger and wider Woolley boogers on the back. It ran for years. Good luck.

I had one of these. 1988 225. Low range was broke but the way I ride I never would have used it anyways lol. Lots of fun in the winter especially. Had a set of swamp foxes on for tires and they did really well. Lightweight and not too aggressive to where you can't whip the ass end out.

Awesome work man. Its amazing how it turned out. Its amazing when you let something sit for a period of time all the damage that rodents can cause to something. All that corrosion on the alumium from the rodent piss. You have an amazing talent for working on things. Keep up the great work!

I had the same machine back in 1986. Great machine for the time. It did everything I needed it to except the suspension was a bit rough. Lol! That one is in really good shape. Hope it lasts another 20 years. Great video too.

You're not frightened to get stuck in Andrew, that came out real nice.... My least favourite part of doing restorations is dealing with corrosion.

A message to your father……My son is close to the same age as yours and when he was young he was constantly with me in the shop but now it’s just a memory. He no longer has any interest. You are a luck man, sir.

I bought a well kept 350 about 18 months ago. Thanks to this video, I now know about the compartment behind the tail light.

Another great restoration, per your usual expertise 👍👍. I live in the land of stone walls from when all of New England was clear cut and you could see for miles. Preserve your stone walls. Here in New Hampshire its a crime if you disturb them . Someone toied long and back breaking hard to clear the fields and create what everone takes for granted. Keep your mechanical stories coming. 👍👍

Well done young man. Get a IR titanium air impact. This impact runs so slow you can literally tap out bolts

@ChrisChizewick 9 ай бұрын

Just little tip for the"painter", I use playing cards to mask around wheels when tires are still mounted. Just deflate and tuck them in.

@geofferyshanen7758 7 ай бұрын

Andrew. you are awesome, and thanks for all the great content. I was watching this a noticed when you installed the new piston you placed the numbers facing down on the rings I believe that is incorrect. They should face up. The rings have a bevel and installing them wrong will cause issues with the wiping of the oil on the cylinder walls. Thanks Again!!

It’s a shame about the corrosion on the motor. The general condition is fantastic and might merit a donor motor.

I’ve got exactly the same bike, not in as good condition as this one. Thank you for your video. Having trouble starting so just got new air filter and spark plug. Wanting to drain the carby of old fuel but can’t find a flush point. I’m in Australia and sadly my cocky chewed the switches on dash and hand grip area. Hoping I can replace?

What would be the difference, being that it runs good?

The rings have a wedge shaoe to them. So may work the wring way. Ie push oil up not dow the cylinder. @kirbygulbrandsen4507

Where did you get your gasket set from?

@PaulHigginbothamSr 6 ай бұрын

Too bad it only had 2 wheel drive. Where you were going you could have used 4 wheel drive. Good job on getting it going. That corrosion was fierce and even rotted off the throttle cable. You were lucky you had that butt connector to run the throttle or this little woods jaunt would have gone nowheres. Leaving that powersaw by the path wasn't very smart but ya'll just thought it was from the cleanup crew. Some freshly cut logs did let you through but if that jobbie had four wheel you could just head out through the forest.
