I found a harness a few states over for sale. It's from a 85. So I bought it as it was only $45 shipped.

Just got new grips and bars. Controls and chain. Levers. And new throttle tube and various other parts will arrive today.

I welded the homemade frame for skid plate. Welded the frame where rear. Brake lever mount bolts to. So now waiting on new ignition. Left side switches, and main harness.

have no idea if it fits, sounds like it should, maybe some members can tell

Offer made!

ask for a shipping quote.... might be crazy

I did. He replied that he would find out. If I can come in under 150 I'm happy

Tank bought and on it's way. Total with shipping was $105usd

So I need fast help. New harness and ignition is in al set to test fire.....then found a fuel leak...bottom of carb bowl. What do I do with this part?

Seen in pic. The spot I'm pointing at.....




Never mind figured it out......but the needle dosent stick...and it still leaks

Also I looked at Yamaha for the fuel bowl gasket and it showed a flat gasket. Not a rubber oring style.

Is it ok to use a standard flat style gasket?

Also should this piston move?

yes, piston should move :)

take no offense, but if you are asking that then i think you are going to face a serious challenge in this rebuild....


as for the leak, it looks like you need an o-ring, part number 22 in the list
