    Cheers man. Ok here's the front as of 5min ago. Wiff at neighbours. Kids finally asleep.

    Worryingly the front is enscribed Golden Boy.

    I'm 47. I love my wife. But still I feel somehow dirty.

    Ok note the Gasgas 300 in the background with the revalved YZ SSS forks.

    Oh yeah. Listening to Supertramp from about 73 to make it genuine. $30 garage stereo. Bargain.

    Ohh some sealant and it'll go together.

    Strange setup I never realised how (over)complicated the posilube system is. The feed goes through the main channels through the slinger plate/s and through the crankpin and feeds the big end through that hole in the pin.

    Just for husi they are sideways. Sodden tablet or pH, just as contrary. Bah autocorrect made pH.

    If it was just for husi you would have shown the rest of world the clever left and right hand gear shift Suzukis of the period had.
    I seen for the first time a YS1? whateverthey were /RD125/RD200 crank the other day you could have done what they did if the bearings were unobtainable.
    Rob gave me a TS/TF125 Crank same set up with the slinger.
    I must say I do like all the pictures with this build Dave

    I found it looking for a pic of the carbs for the float bowl idle set up, I have a feeling the fuel entry is well above the float height on the downdraft carb can you confirm the circuit differences compared to the std VM set up.
    I was real surprised when I seen the seat pic was from Nelson.........

    Well Christmas had brought some inactivity but finally some more progress between eating, drinking far too much, boxing day races, kid wrangling, house projects.

    Actually the pics are mock ups towards the end of the night. The top end is sitting there, I need to fit the last case studs and the pistons. I honed the barrels with some sandpaper on some conduit, worked surprisingly well.

    Can I be bothered planing the heads and remachining the combustion chambers? Not so sure.

    Considering fitting a dummy tank and priming the oil pump with the battery drill to test the lines, check valves etc.

    Yeah they are so I'd have to plane the head surface separately then mandrel the offset plugs to machine the chambers. Tedious. I might measure the squish without the head gaskets and consider measuring the chamber size if that gives me a sensible result.

    Or just leave it.

    My old Titans were a bitch to bleed the oil lines on. Then they'd develop air bubbles anyway. Looking back, it was problem ducking the air into them from the crankcase.

    We went through a few Suzuki 2 strokes back in the 70's including a Stinger and the only one we had trouble with air in the oil lines was with the first model TS185 after a few years. We were never sure if it mattered when bubbles formed as it never gave any trouble but eventual fix was replacing the lines themselves as we figured the little ball valves were leaking and that did cure the problem.
    Cheers
