    I had an 86 . It was used but it was one of my favorite 125s I ever had. Super reliable and the motor just pulled so awsome. Make sure to check the water pump since it was a know issue for that part of the case to corrode

    Hi Great vid, thank you so much for doing this, i used to race yz's in the early 80' in school boys and have an 85 cr 125 skeleton that i have been collecting parts for and one day hope to be able to restore, i have just got a complete engine for it with the usual water pump issue with the condition of the internals unknown. it arrived a few days ago and even though it will be a while be fore i can consider getting it rebuilt, i took the barrel off to check piston bore and crank etc to gauge what will be needed if/when i do get it sorted, it needs a piston and maybe a liner but all was ok , solid crank and no sighs of anything ever exploding in there, i hit a snag when i went to seat the barrel the arm of the atac activator from the crank case seems to not want to seat correctly in the barrel and is stopping it about 1/8 th from home. the last motorcross engine i worked on was a yz 250 h air cooled it didnt have a power valve, it had funnel for tipping more coal in and a lever for stoking the boiler ;) it didnt have the atac chamber attached to the barrel when i took it off so im not sure if this has caused something to spring out of position in the barrel when i lifted it clear but i cant work out how to seat back down, if someone could offer any advise or perhaps you could point this out and how to seat it in one of the vids if you have the barrel off that would be amazing ! many thanks and i look forward to seeing you on the start line with the CR.

    • @MattBerger02
      @MattBerger02  Před 3 lety +1

      Pistons are wear items and need replaced in intervals to avoid failure, even if they look fine. What I look for is that there is no scoring or damage, which means that it has been running properly and I'll have to do is throw a new piston and it'll be good to go. If there was damage to the piston or cylinder I would need to investigate why and fix it.
