Good bit of work there. At 66 I'm still trying to learn. I may have found your carb. .

Thats a good price thanks.

Good buy. Some of those little bits can add up to a lot. Greasing every bolt when you have them out is a good idea alright.. Makes the future work so much easier.

the ironic part is my son is a welder, and teaches welding...lol..but he's 700 miles from me. He's also going for the coveted CWI certificate. We moved about 3 years ago and he was my go to welder back there. I should buy one and the next time he comes down here he can give me a crash course. lol i guess at 72 years old, i'm still young enough to learn !

ok...back in business! I replaced the left front wheel bearings. What a pain that was. The drive shaft was rusted to them and i had to use a torch and plenty of penetraating oil to get it out. I ordered new ball joints too. I ordered that choke/starter cable from amazon (after market) and it was the wrong size. Sent it back and just ordered the OEM part from Yamaha. Plus that throttle spring. I guess someone was too lazy to remove the broken one and just put that mickey mouse set up i posted above. makes you wonder about people's mechanical abilities. So, that will be here in a day or two. Hopefully with the new "choke" cable it'll start better. And i removed all the old gas. The carburetor look to be brand new, but i'm not sure if it's an after market or an OEM. in my spare time i'm checking wiring thru out to make sure every this is OK. The cooling fan works but it's noisy...a lot. But, to get it off looks like a big project, so that'll be for another time. When i get the new ball joints, i'll do the right side bearings as well. If i change the oil filter, will all the oil drain out from there, or should i just open the drain plug? And the hardwood floors are done and i also laid hardwood on the staair cases as well. She's happy...happy wife, happy life....or, so they say.

Hey. My wife died and left me with two very young sons and a house to finish and land to tend and a workshop to run.. If I ever thought she kept me to it (which I didn't), I soon learn just what an asset a good wife is.. Be thankful.

Yeah my wife was probably not thrilled that I have been working on the Kodiak instead of the kitchen but if we get that snow today, she might forgive me........Its really funny that the Honey Do List just keeps growing no matter how many items you knock off of it.......That is how God gave women the power to keep us boys out of trouble..

1st girl friends brother had a Honda dirt bike and a three wheeler. I'd sure like to have one of those three-wheelers. Then the Air Force got me hooked on Polaris quads and snow mobiles.

I bought a 2011 and needed it for plowing. The guy I bought it from gets a new one every 3 years. This one had low miles. I sold it and bough a Kawasaki Mule, but now place to put it for the winter, so I sold it. Then I bought a 2003 Honda Foremen 500 and wouldn't shift so I replace the shift motor and it works great.

Grandpa taught me to ride as a squirt, when he passed I kept his bike going for many years and had many fond memories. LT125s are in fact indestructible.

In my opinion, this is a simple question, yet requires a complicated solution. Obviously, you would like to provide a long warranty based on your quality work. However, in many cases, due to poor quality fuel and less then adequate parts, you may not be able to provide the guarantee you want. I would proceed with caution keeping profitability and sustainability in mind.
