Hey All, just a quick hello and look forward to being part of the forum.
recently picked up this 91 YFM250B from a farm in Victoria, melbourne Australia for $650. It had a dead battery but i did get a video of it running before i brought it. Problem was that it had a severe backfire through the carb.
Anyways, the last 3 weeks ive been spending hours a day getting it back to running perfectly.
here's what I've had to fix so far;
- Couldnt get the timing marks to line up, stretched chain!
- someone had been into the carb in the past becuase the float was upside down, aso was leaking fuel quite badly
- airbox was missing the cage, so i brought a complete K&N unit
- Swingarm bearings were destroyed!!! What a sage to get the swingarm bolts out!!!! all cleaned up and ready for installation
- currently working on the front end becuase there is a bit of play in the bearings
just waiting on some parts from yamaha and ill be able to fire it up and see if all is working well.
