86 engine rebuild

<< < (2/2)

Goat:
Got mine fired up for the first time since I bought it a few months ago. Put a new ring in. Piston was still well within spec and in very good shape. Started 3rd kick. Started easier than my 250 does lol. I had planed on taking it down the street when I got it running but we got a F*%$ ton of snow today and it's still coming down. Still waiting on a bunch of parts though. Replacing all the bearings, new handlebars, grips, clutch perch, front brake lever, air filter, and front brake pads. Coming along nicely. Gonna fire it up again when I wake up. Trying to get the ring broke in slowly.

ktm250f74:
my 86 had the sprocket welded to the output shaft too

kwakman:
its all worth it in the end. if anyone sees a 'mechanic' goin near an output shaft with a welder, youve got my permission to kick f$&k out of him, then bring him round and knock f$%k out of him again just to make sure they get the message. here's to writing other people's wrong on our ageing ground based missiles and protecting them from fools......
