- Another easy bike to get going again. Luckily it wasn't stored outside and didn't need much to get her going again. This one is going to be a fun woods bike!

I dont know if you have heard the 2 vintage you tube chanel he has been working on bikes and atvs since he was a kid he is stil in his 20s but he is definitly a expert at it
Not an expert but he does get his hands dirty’
Perfect project. When you kicked it over, all the memories came back for me. How lovingly obnoxious it sounds. 💪👍
It’s an awesome bike for sure! Quickly becoming a favorite classic of mine. Probably because of that sound 😆
Another 2 stroke saved. Nice job. What a great bike.
Thanks! This bike is a keeper for sure
I really don't see the problem with smoking the house with the beautiful aroma of burnt 2 stroke fuel! lol. Another great video. Glad you are making short work on these.
It is a great smell isn’t it? There really needs to be a yankee candle scent of it lol. Thanks Chuck!
@@Garage2Trail 100%!! Yankee candle worthy hahahaha
Great job brother. I love saving these old bikes.
Thank you! It’s addicting…especially when things go smoothly 😀
I had one of these when I was a child. Was used and it always fouled the spark plug. It stranded me too many times so I sold it, I wasnt aware how to fix back then. But it was really fun when it ran.
I keep an extra plug on me when riding it just because I’ve heard that same thing from others. Probably because they called for 20:1 premix and the older oils weren’t as good as what we have today
Instant like, always watch the whole video. Like hanging out with an old friend in the shop
Thanks buddy, I appreciate that! 🍻
It sounds good. Can't wait to see it out in the woods.
Thanks! I put that video out on Friday…it’s a blast back in the woods!
Let’s see what the PE250 is all about back on the trails

I rode one with fox air shocks and a fork kit by Simon's I belive,and that was the nicest turning bike man
That’s awesome…I’d love to find a pair of fox shocks for this thing…very pricy though!
That looks like a pretty straight original bike.
The plastics look like they’re correct too.
That multi tool was mounted to the top of the forks with rubber O rings ex factory.
It’s a Suzuki so of course it’ll run 😎
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to come up with an oring fastener to make that work
Lovely old bike 😍
Thank you sir!
Great bike😊
Awesome job, I have 84 XR 200r dual carb and a 78 TT 500 and love tinkering with them
Thank you! I’m sure you probably saw my other videos with the ‘83 XR200R that I got with this PE. One of my favorites for sure.
that airbox design is crazy
Sounded great.
Thanks!
@@Garage2Trail i need to bring my ktm 360 back. I bought in 97. Needs cleared out and washed. Ill never ride it like used too. Bike was sassy
You should! That would be a fun one I’m sure
Great bike! I recall it's a very heavy drinker. I would check the rubber bushes between the shocks and swingarm and frame, or maybe the creaking sound when you started it was just the loose seat.
that creaking sound is the springs…they are quite noisy lol. I can’t wait to get this one on the trails. I’ll be sure to have a full tank 👍
Lucky man !
PS, we used to run 25:1 back in the day typically.
A bit Smokey and we oiled a few plugs but we never seized them 😂
But the oil wasnt nearly as good as it is now. 50 to 1 is more than enough with modern oil
That was my reasoning. Using good old Yamalube!
Fellow pens fan, hell yeah!
Right on! 🐧
Thanks for the new video!
I would say that the fitted pilot was 37.5 (wierd mikuni!) and less than a turn out, l would go richer on the pilot jet.
Watch that front sprocket - bit sharky!
Thank you! Once I get that air filter in I’ll mess with that air screw again I’m sure. Yeah that sprocket is just about dead 😆
Love the pe’s I had the 175
This is my first…I’m hooked!
Entertaining video mate.

Thanks for tuning in Mike! 🍻
I could be wrong, but from the bedspring sounds from the rear shocks, I would bet real money that this thing has a set of Curnutt shocks- they were really good, but always sounded like a bag of bedsprings...
You are dead on Dave! It’s those shocks that are noisy like that lol. It’s a good thing the bike is so loud so you can’t hear it when riding 😆
Good video mate, new sub here 🎉
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Very original still has the plug spanner bracket on the right side triple clamp
So that’s what that’s for! Thank you!
Awsome
Sweeeet bike I had a 1983 pe 175cc ✔️ me out Murray mini motors on tube
Definitely will check it out, thanks for watching!
Hey that's great I just picked up a '79 PE 250 2 days ago and there's no gas in it so I couldn't test start it or drive it and I guess from putting out the truck and taking off a little gas got freed up and went into the carburetor and then I was testing it it fired right up and ran like a champ. Great bikes. Hey does your friend have any extra shocks? Mine are toast. And a headlight and a tail light. Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Very cool! I’ll ask him…in my next video I’ll be mentioning his business which he deals with bikes and parting bikes out. Keep and eye out for that one!
No disrespect to you my friend you are definitly a expert at what you do i just wondered if you had heard of 2 vintage
Thanks! I didn’t take that as disrespect 😀. Yeah 2vintage is a great channel. I don’t know how he can get through so many bikes that fast!
Thank you for the compliment and for watching by the way! 👍
Was that a fart at 28:07? 😂 anyway, nicely done!
Never mind. Tires squeaking on floor. My apologies. lol
😂
No worries! Lol
What an excellent vid! Sir, Do you do tool reviews? We would like to invite you to review our portable air pump. How can we connect with you?
Thank you! I can be emailed at matt.garage2trail@gmail.com
I’ve never done any tool reviews but I’d possibly be open to it! Thanks for reaching out.
@@Garage2Trail Matt, I just reached out to you
