Yeah the struggle was real getting that out😩 went together reasonably easy, couldn’t get rubbers in a hurry so ended up getting a second hand bell housing with good rubbers & new bolts.

The black wire goes on any earth or bolt on the motor, I put mine on the coil bracket bolt

@@fixitdan5248 thanks for quick reply…. I just ordered one on Quicksilver as you did . This Monday it will come so I can install for mine…. Thanks again!

Thanks, it’s was the genuine mercruiser one for that engine number, that’s why it was strange I had to modify it

Hahaha yeah mate, was my first video, they get better. Subscribe and watch the rest too you’ll see👍

Hi, they were the updated mercruiser replacement parts for my engine serial number, the update is sealed better & has 3 wires as I showed , not sure of the part numbers but it’s the standard thunderbolt ignition module & sensor wheel. If you have the older points style I’m not sure what’s involved, maybe the whole distributor is different. If yours already has thunderbolt ignition then just order the sensor, wheel, rotor & cap to suit the engine serial number, pretty sure if it’s thunderbolt there is only one to suit the V8. Hope that helps

Hi mate, if the hose setup looks the same as this one then it’s raw water cooled, it sucks water in just above the propeller. Hope that helps.. don’t forget to subscribe thanks

I’m not sure about the 80, someone in the comments might be able to help with some info.

No mate, just screwed the spring nut a bit tighter to suit weight of rider.

Nice! There a handy tool to have hey! I learned to shape plastics on car bumpers in the nineties, saved a lot of money on repairs 👍

It’s very simple, the 2 wires go exactly where the original 2 wires go and the 3rd black earth wire goes anywhere on the engine block, I chose the bolt that holds the coil bracket as a good spot. The unit screws inside the distributor with 2 screws in the exact same spot as the original, there is no adjustment, just screw in place. Hope that helps, I should do a detailed vid on it but it’s stored away for winter at the moment.

Get a set of supermoto small rims or can lower suspension with lowering link

Good pick up, but no the gasket had an extra hole, they must make the one gasket for several pumps maybe.

I went the 150rb (big wheel) swing arm but some are saying the original swing arm just fits the big wheel but better in my opinion to get an original big wheel one👍

I put it back to an R & sold it already, kids are on 250’s now

I might be interested in rb parts if you are selling.

@@andrewbray2266 Sold it all mate, my boys are on 250’s now

Meant the other guy. Don't know how to tag him.

@@fixitdan5248 that’s lit im 5’6 and 117 pound I don’t want to ride a 250 until I’m a master at wheelies

Was around $1050 with secondhand swingarm , wheels & new chain. Got my money back when I sold it, my son just went to a 250 so I put the bike back to a small wheel & sold it then sold big wheel kit for $1100. Happy Days 👍

@@pcough100 Awesome, glad it worked out. Don’t forget to subscribe 👍

Just did!

Well worth it mate, all I changed was the swing arm, wheels , rear 56 sprocket & chain to suit an rb. I hunted around the bike wreckers till I found 150rb used parts. They say to beef up the suspension but that just depends on your weight, my sons light so I didn’t need to.

@@fixitdan5248 my buddy said he got rb wheels and they fit on his 150r without having to change the rear swing arm. did you try that by any chance? i wanna know if that will work so i can do it to mine

@@evanduck6542 I didn’t try unfortunately, they probably just fit adjusted right back but you’ll have no chain tightening capabilities.

dude the “longer” swing arm is only 3/4 of an inch longer. me personally and many others on the internet have swapped their small wheel 150R with big wheels without even changing the swing arm at all. because in reality 3/4 isn’t making that big of a difference. you can theoretically get that difference out of the chain adjustment.

I think I put it on the bolt holding the coil bracket at back of motor

Yes thanks, I’m slowly getting better at editing. You should see my first video, you’ll get sea sick watching it..

Good work mate for having a go at it yourself, helping each other out with a bit on knowledge is what it’s all about.

Yes definitely improves slow riding with low revs & reduces the pinging, add some lower geared sprockets as well & feels like an endurance bike.

Where I got them guy mean?

Try the heat gun trick on it mate, might work. And check out my vid on setting up an Mx bike for trial with a flywheel weight & lower sprockets, heaps better for the tight trails.

Hello didi you fix it with the heat gun? Im wondering because i had a crash today with my yz85 and bend my side fender inwards and its dosent look very good

From a bike wreckers, took a while to find one

Thanks I’ll take a look at that next time it has problems.
