    Jeeze lads, I didn't think it was gonna get a bite at all!

    I'll do it legal, which will fuel exactly the same as the cheating, but with weeks more fucking around. According to the theory, (which seems to mean nothing to a 2 stroke), there is no problem with a single carb.

    It lives! Since it sat so long and the oil filled up the crank cases, it took quite a while to get fired up. It would fire a few times and die, so I would pull out the plugs, clean them up and repeat. Ten or fifteen times later away it went. Runs pretty clean, and sounds fuckin great!

    Does anyone have a rear caliper and carrier for an RG150? That's about all that is stopping me from riding. Not that I use the rear brake, but some safety homo or another would likely get their knickers in a twist if I didn't have one at all.

    Should probably try and fuel it right before giving it a thrashing too.

    A lot of the early Suzukis like the GT had a drain plug in each crankcase ... ... good to hear you have got it going.

    The castings have a spot where the drain holes would be, but they've never been drilled and tapped.

    Did a bit more to it today. Got brakes on the rear now, and built up the steering stops so the tank doesn't get the bash. Chopped the peg mounts down since taking a pilling is just cruel to the little 125. Changed the points for the left piston since it wasn't running great over that side.

    That's where I hit my first snag of this build. The barrels have been grooved and O ringed in place of head gaskets. Turns out I should have made a couple new ones when the head was off, as the left side leaks. No matter, easy fix.

    Real news of the day though, Luke and I decided that Jimmy's bike had sat there in need of finishing for too long. So Luke spent all day putting a tail section on it, then we teamed up and put a pipe on it. Sorted the chain, and then the gear linkage.

    Finally it was start time. But the kick start is buggered inside. No worries, let's put a clutch cable on and clutch start it. Cool, whip the cover off to put the cable in, and the actuator arm is missing! So we couldn't fire it up after all that.

    Cheers bro, that'd be awesome. I don't actually know what the standard carb size is, but the 17mm maximum size for two carbs that are on it will be very limiting.

    Only on my Iphone, and the email I sent them in never showed up on my puter.

    Will get RiffRaff to take some and upload this week.

    yeah I do have a caliper & even has decent pads. No carrier though. a six of Macs Gold will buy it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I took a look at the bike that the wheel came from, sure enough there was a caliper and carrier there. Cheers though.

    If it was a "real" race bike it wouldnt be a grand. But somehow would be cheaper than buckets

    Oi, on topic in this thread A-hole.

    I whipped the motor out and made new O-rings for the head tonight. Chucked it back in and fired it up, seems to have sealed it up, still not running on two properly though, I have a horrible suspision that I need to do something as difficult as...Change the plugs. Since when I take them out and clean them it runs on two sweet as for a little bit.

    Drew; you know you should use two stroke oil not 10-40 in the premix!!!

    seriously; timing might be just a little retarded.. hopefully AJ had clear marks on the coil base plate to aid re-assembly.
    or it might actually be the pipes. any small errors in length is going to kick your ass with cylinders that size.
