@Jerry06660 thanks I'll try that next bought some tyre weld to put a temporary fix om it to make it easier to move about 😅

Thanks for watching, I use a few different auctions these ones were from a DVLA auction site based in Plymouth 👍

@seanmoore8152 I think it might have something to do with the flip of my camera so it looks wrong the clutch is on the left hand on this bike... occasionally when I'm filming something if I use the selfie camera and hold the phone the the wrong way it messes up the flip of the video so my bad 😅

I agree it's so much more rewarding and if you ever break down you have a better understanding of what's gone wrong and how to fix it 🙌

You sound like a Swansea lad

Thanks, I sure will 🤟

Your right they most likely will destroy the seals eventually but as it stands the seals aren't leaking so for the time being I'm just going to clean the rust up as best as possible and see how it gets on as a set of forks is worth about the same as what I paid for the thing 😅

Iv seen rusty forks repaired with body filler before, rub the rust away with steel wool then apply a thin coat of filler, then wet and dry it smooth with the finest grit you can get, sounds like a bad joke but it genuinely works as a long term fix.

@SAM-zt2uy thanks glad your enjoying! I've actually ordered a replacement carb as it wasn't alot more expensive than the rebuild kit and I really want to get this bike running, I will be taking the original carb apart and taking a look into it though to see if I can identify the issue, I've been considering an ultra sonic cleaner myself as I've seen they get really good results with them🤟

@WEFLIPANYCAR thanks, I might consider that with the yamaha but I'm thinking I may clean the lexmoto take it for an MOT and flip it to cover some costs 🤔

@martyncozens5654 I think that's exactly what was happening and I couldn't seem to stop it so it was easier and cheap enough to just get a new carb 🤟

Thanks, yes I'm quite impressed with the lexmoto so far to be fair 👍

Good effort, my plan is to do my best to keep them on the road and save them from the scrap yard, and if I can make a few quid along the ways then happy days 🤟

@markpercy4277 cheers! no doubt I'll get it sorted just typical it would happen as I'm filming the final episode 😅

@@hankbigfoot 🤟

@@IsnBotterill thanks I will 🤟

@@Damian-Davies thanks mate alot of effort went into that car 🤟

@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES they are great little cars and I'll be sad to see this one gone but maybe I'll pick up a gti version or the 1.4 sport later down the line to do something cool with 🤞

@@BONKLIFE007 thanks 🤟

Thanks 🤟

Thanks! I hear good things about lexmotos they are certainly the best of all the Chinese brands and despite the state of this one it still runs!🤟

Thanks I'll take a look into that can't say I've ever heard of that before 🤟

I was wondering if it could be something like that but I wasn't sure as all the replacement ignition online for these are wired totally differently so I didn't think this would be the case ?

You would be surprised 😅

@Bob-ts2tu thanks, yes your right there there is always someone for every bike I haven't had one yet that hasn't sold to someone! Haha that's not my intention with these bikes they will be getting proper ignitions as soon as possible, although I would be impressed if someone managed to steal them from where I actually park them up 🤣

@davidjury4525 them lexmotos are survivors I can't say I dislike them either but this one is a bit rough round the edges to say the least... but it runs so that's something 😅

@Valeman7689 thanks! I'm slowing learning my way through these machines, lexmoto will hopefully be sorted out in the next few days just waiting for some bits to arrive so I can fix them and give it a good clean up then onto the yamaha 🤟

@@paulbudford who would have thought it 😅

Thank you so much, your right it's very satisfying when you get to the end and someone is happy to take the revived machine off your hands and appreciate all the work you've put in 🤟

@@SamsAutoAssortium 👍

@@SamsAutoAssortium just out of curiosity mate , do you mind if I ask what camera you use to film with?? 😀

@markbadger265 I currently film using my Samsung galaxy s24 ultra but I'm looking to add a go pro or a dji pocket to my arsenal so I can get in some shots from different angles at the same time etc.

@@SamsAutoAssortium cheers mate… tbh i thought it was a go pro …. Its that good 👍

@Chickendave344 maybe but they are my junk now 🤣

One mans junk is another mans treasurez

The Dragstar has a massive following and worth up to 4 grand depending on mileage, even the 125 Dragstars bring good money. Yes the lexmoto not worth it but that will pay for the offset on the dragster meaning when both bike's are done he's made good money.

​@@crackerjack125lexmoto 125cc 1st bike it mint 2012

@jasonsmeeth4043 thanks I appreciate that, good luck with your first bike and stay tuned for more one these ones 🤟

@markpercy4277 my money was on the yamaha firing up first that's for sure 😅 the plan is to sell the lex to fix the yamaha so with it running it's now got some value... not alot but some 🤣

@mototommy5525 thanks! I did try it with the clutch in afterwards and no dice, and I'll tackle the inlet manifold in a later video once I figure out the no spark issue 🤟

@@SamsAutoAssortium It's the ignition switch. Has a 100 ohm resistor built in to tell the coils to spark when turned on. Lots of bikes have it. No ignition switch. No spark.

@KPP365 thanks, I quite liked this bike it was sad to sell it but had to make way for new projects 😅

@KPP365 thanks it means alot 🤟

@KPP365 thanks I hope you enjoy 🤟

@jerrystamps thanks! there's a little bit of work to do on the lexmoto before I consider an MOT but either way I'll be looking to sell it before too long 🤟

@simonwhite1965 it has gotten a bit out of controll 😅🤣

@@user-qj8td3zb2l maybe 🤣🤣

I was very surprised it fired up almost straight away, I knew i would be able to get it running i just thought I might have needed to clean or replace the carb and add fresh fuel first 😅

I think it'll need a fair bit more work before it will pass an MOT but I'm wondering if it would be worth taking for one just to see how bad it fails 🤔

​@SamsAutoAssortium Good call, nice info for the next owner if you plan to sell, and it it's minimal issues worth doing. Good luck.

@philtowle4683 I've ordered up a clutch cable and a lock set with ignition for it and I need to take a look at the indicator switches so I'll be doing that much at least and of course giving it a clean so we will see after then 👍

I think it was the one where Del Boy got rid of those broken lawn mower parts😂.

🤣🤣🤣

I think it's too old it's a 2001 so I think that only tends to be on newer models but I'm not totally sure tbh there's not a huge amount of info out there on these bikes 😅

@glowskulls100 not sold it yet and I'm in that area alot as I'm a delivery driverdown that way 👍

What did you endup getting a aftermarket ignition with cap & helmet lock in end i@@SamsAutoAssortium

I've ordered one for the lexmoto but nothing for the yamaha yet just some new coils to see if I can fix the no spark but I suspect now that it may not be the coils but I guess I'll find out once I fit them 😅

​@@SamsAutoAssortium tried sending my email to you but seems like they get deleted in the comments Sam

@@glowskulls100 I'm just in the process of sorting out some branding and creating a Facebook page for the channel so people contact me easier than via the comments, I've actually sent for an ignition set and a clutch cable for the lexmoto so it won't be going anywhere just yet anyways 👍

Thanks I'll take a look at doing that I haven't really got alot of experience when I comes to testing electrical components so any advice goes a long way to helping me learn 🤟

Thanks I appreciate the support, hopefully I get it running soon 🤟

Thanks 🤟

Thanks I'll take a look at doing that, I may have be a bit premature in ordering new coils but I guess it's all trial and error 😅🤣

I would just add that to stop it you just reconnect the wire to stop engine running. Did this on an old GS 125.

@@crinklee thanks I'll be sure to try that out 🤟

Thanks this one is doing well compared to my normal ones too so things are moving in the right direction for sure 🤟

@@SamsAutoAssortium love to see it

Yeah they are a bit worse for wear and will be something I change at a later date once I figure out the no spark issue 🤟
