Hi Mustie, Great videos on this rebuild! I am mixing the gas on my 72 ct1 175. I am at 32:1 currently but only have a few miles on first tank doing my own mixing. bike has 6k miles. Do you think this mix ratio is ok?
You are there do the seals
Great video Mr.Mustie1. Isopropanol alcohol will soften up the hot melt glue, i use it for removing phone batteries that are stuck down with glue.
Back in the 70's I was told to use fish oil. Very light oil, not sure of the weight.
My guess is the woman intending to learn sustained permanent damage and or died in her attempt thus causing the owners to loose faith in the machine, which she should have not been turned loose on at all. Big mistake. I have seen older riders crashing out on a new machine after not riding for a long time.
Do you still have this bike?
I found a tank just like that on ebay just yesterday that looks just like that…check it out
Thanks Mustie, just working on a ty 175 yamy forks and could not remember the damper layout LOL, Oh then I couldnt remember where the vid was filed that showed it , looks like the DT is the same layout. Getting old is stupid cant remember sh!t!
Thanks Mustie1. I watch your videos while my wife watches Married At First Sight….hate that crap.
Try putting air in the tank
Couldn't you have drilled holes and used a dent puller then welded over screw holes? Just a thought.
Great video as always. This was a big help for my 1972 lt2 100. I'm the second owner, my great uncle (rip) bought it brand new.
