my 2 projects

after cancelled flights(fuck you jetstar) and a huge road trip of 2500kms, i managed to get home in my newly aquired surf with no probs.

the fun part was finding a way to get 2 dirt bikes in the back without the rear door opening..

yes, the rear door doesnt work...doh..

so i brought myself a 91 CR250 and a 94 YZ125...

picked up the cr first,ripped the rear wheel off, and then front wheel and forks..

just manage to squeeze it through the back side door and spin it round to the side,chucked the bts in it and drove to the next bike..

hhmmmm, not quite as much room as i thought...so

pulled the rear wheel off, aswell as the swing arm and mud guard.

off came the front wheel,forks, and mud guard,handle bars also got the "fuck off out of the way" treatment..

just managed to get that in past the cr,crammed all the bits in there along with the spare wheel for the surf..

my hiking pack and sleeping bag etc was crammed into the front seat area,and all that was left was a spot between the front seats..

that got quickly filled with cans of monster enegry and maccas...

...

a week and a bit later i got home and unpacked the tetris truck..

reassembled both bikes.

the yz would start,so i put a bit of gas in through the plug hole and away she went..

shit dang doggy its quick.....scary quick...for now..

nothing need sto be done to it,but ill do piston and rings soon...

the cr is siezed...locked up from sitting..so i tried to take the head off it and one of the nuts is burred over,fuck damn fuck..

not sure how to get that off now..

so the plan for that is to get the head off,and try and get the cylinder off so i can get the piston out if i can get it to free up.

ive put some atf into the bore,hope itll soak in a bit...who knows...

would be nice to get that one going,otherwise i might put a xr250 motor in it....or just sell it on...or swap it for a bike for the wife or something..

pics will come..when we get some sun..

choice bro

dont want to completely butcher it with vice grips yet..

have drowned it in crc,so will let it work its way in overnight,soak it again tomorrow and have another go at lunch..

then i might use the vice grips if nothing else works..

using heat is out of the question.....

i managed to slam a 11mm ring spanner on it..

got it off..

took the whole bike apart in the end and pulled the motor out..

was a bit of effort to get the cylinder off but its in good condition,piston skirt has some marks,not sure where from though..

took the flywheel cover off,and gave it a bit of a turn with a ring spanner and it went click and started to turn over freely..

so,shes not seized at all,and the top end is mint except the piston.

so ill get a new piston and top end gasket set and put it back together...

went out this morning to see if the yz would start ok..... gave it 3 easy strokes on the kick start to get the comp stroke,kick and RINGA DING DING....started first pop...so stoked with that, got the idle down to a decent level and adjusted the mixture back up a bit...

will take some pics today

how likely is it that a 2 stroke carby would fuck out???

cant get the yz started...its got fule there,but keeps flooding..

theres plenty of spark and heaps of compression..

i took it apart today to try and find out whats going on..

the exhaust was full of fuel...and i turn the tap off after using it...

could the floats be fucked or something in the carb???ive never been clued up on carbys...

piston looks mint through the exhaust port

ive stripped downcr motor...had a good look at it...

gearbox internals etc are all mint.

clutch is good.

dont know bout the crank...

have decided to sell this off and try and put a 4 stroker in it...

maybe a xr250 or something if it can find one...

might also look at putting the cr carb onto the yz,see if that works, it has a cool idle adjuster on the choke shaft,where as the yz has a screw which has no effect at all...

intake is the same size,but outlet/manifold side is about 2mm bigger,so will need a bit of grunt to get it in..

may also look at selling the rolling cr....but without the brand new tyres lol

right,so i fucked my thumb yesterday so couldnt really be bothered doing much....

did a couple of hours anyway...

so tootled off to the shed and put the motor back in the yz after getting the cr carb to fit on..

got it in,everything bolted back together and even the airbox still fit the carby...

stoked...but would it work??

yup,first kick....shit does it sound nice and crisp too...100 times better now...

so stoked...
