I Had zero experience with anything mechanical and it was a huge learning curve .That was when i was 16years old way back in 1979 .My trusty old kawasaki Z250. Great memories,.I was gutted to have to strip it down twice but i never made that mistake again. This is a Fantastic blow by blow account of how to do it by the way. Keep up the good work my friend.

    Glad you got it figured out, i had something like this too. They said it was a 2001 yz125, wouldn’t go past 3rd gear. Turns out it was an 03 w 5 gears as I opened up the cases, went thru the tranny. Someone added another gear, now I’m ripping it. Your channel taught me a lot and give me confidence in fixing something that isn’t running or running right, also ppl who follow you and give tips, I like to read your comments and add that to my bag.

  • @DynoSauR4Truth
    @DynoSauR4Truth Před 9 měsíci +2

    I saw you doing something in this video around 18 minutes in that I thought that you would have known. When you think the engine is flooded, you need to hold the throttle wide open with the choke off and crank it until it clears out the excess fuel. Don't keep operating the throttle off and on as you crank it.

    • @coloradodirtbike5930
      @coloradodirtbike5930 Před 9 měsíci +1

      He's been doing that habit of his for years now. Common sense to hold throttle full open when it's flooded, but I guess he doesn't know, and twisting the throttle every time just continues to flood it.

    He may have even known it, but just didn't want to unbolt that engine, split the cases, buy another Gasket set, and put it all back together.
    Sometimes ya just are sick of something, and the idea of tearing it all down again. . . Well, just one of the reasons why some people drink?
