'75 TS185 1st Start After Sitting Outside for Years 

Can’t believe it actually got started. This just shows you can do anything as long as you feel like doing it.

This is the stuff of DREAMS for me! GREAT JOB! You inspire me to think, if you can do it, maybe I really can do it. I have 14 bikes, but shockingly have VERY LITTLE wrenching experience. For almost 44 years of owning bikes, other than oil changes, air filters, chains, and a couple two stroke top ends that I’ve done with beginner’s luck, my bikes have always been dealer/shop supported. Of my 14 bikes, 8 of them are hopeful restoration projects from old 4-stroke street bikes, to 2-stroke dirt bikes like this one. My dream is to learn how to do this and simultaneously teach my autistic son these new life skills. Keep doing what you’re doing! 😊😊😊

Why ....... why....... wouldn’t you just use the new throttle cable fella 😱

That 2 stroke sound 👌👌

Your enthusiasm with this project is inspiring to me. Thanks for sharing your experience.

You did a good job glad you could get your bike started

Had one of these as a teenager. Me and my mate bought it to ride through the woods. Big heavy old bike. Was fast too. Good times getting stuck in ditches. Back sprocket started to fall off so we sold it for a 22 air rifle. Good memory’s of that too

Hell yeah!!, i've been waiting so many episodes... Good work man! 👍 I'm anxious to see how you finally renew this bike

That is awesome dude! Can’t wait to see what you do with it from here.

Not gonna lie, I can't believe you got it running. That's pretty freaking awesome, and I seriously can't wait for the next video in the restoration process. I also like the humorous little tidbits you added to the video. Definitely make more videos like this one

It's alive, IT'S ALIVE! That's awesome man, well done, so satisfying to get an old bike going

Hey man, make sure that the two-cycle oil you put in the tank is one that is designed for oil pumps, rather than normal two-cycle. The manual says to use outboard engine oil if you can find one that specifies that it's safe.

I live for the sound of classic two strokes

My first bike was a 1980 Suzuki DS 125 that sounded very much like the TS. Would love to have that bike back in the garage again.

I had a bike just like this one, a year different though and I don't remember the exact year. It was given to me by my Uncle. I was about 12 years old, all I dreamed of was getting a motorcycle. One of the greatest days of my life. That bike led to a DS185, I believe and then a PE250. I bought a three wheeler and a few four wheelers, but the motorcycles are my favorite. Great videos, keep making them and I'll keep watching and giving 👍!

Not the GoldGuy we needed. But the GoldGuy we deserved

Awesome job getting it up and running, Merry Christmas! loving the little camera edits you put in there.

Good job you got started always pays to be diligent you are the inspiration for my nighthawk 750 so thank you I’ll I like to send you a picture when it’s finished

Keep it up Man U have inspired me to start restoring my own ts185 great job

Great videos,new sub here from england,love getting them old classics up and running,all the best man

Keep up the great content! Secretly it was a little satisfying to see you missed your goal... I often watch repair videos with minimal edits that take 15 minutes and when I go to do a similar repair I'm still cursing after 6 hours. Glad you had success in the end!

love all the old bikes!!

Congratulations, great project, I watch you from Brazil.

Love it! Keep up the good work mate

Never doubted ya GoldGuy! :)

I had the ts250 version it was a great bike in its day

@goldguy You needed a hole or some kinda vent line in your gas tank contraption. I leaped for joy when that thing started though!! Keep it up!!

Fair play to ya man. Well done!

With you on the two stroke. Also wanted to comment about the aluminum foil, it works really well with dawn dish soap and water on rust try it next time you clean up rust chrome. Thanks for great videos

My cousin had a an 81 Suzuki Ts100 and yes that 2 stroke sound 👍🏼

Hell yeah! im so happy to see this haha :) Lets see the video :P

Love that sound!!

Your personality dude.. am lovin it.

Hi mate I’m new to your Channel and I like all what you do keep up the good work

Awesome! Great job kid!

Congrat! Reminds me of my Kawasaki kd100 from yesteryear.

I ride a harley big twin this brings so many good memories

Well done sounds great

That's definitely a two smoker. 😄 I want to see you race it in a vintage Motocross race.

sounds good i just rebuilt a 1981 ts185

Thing sounds pretty good man.shes a beast

00W40 Mobil 1, what I use on all my stuff and my shop repaired stuff. great oil and super lubrication.

She's alive!

watched everything, good seris, subbed. :)

Been waiting for this video for days lol

Grade video, I think I saw a couple of spiders fly out the exhaust pipe.. that's one way of getting rid of them😂

Wow, surprised you got it going so quick.

This guy reminds me of the banana bread guy. "Banana Bread at work? Hell ya!"

Hey GoldGuy i love you #nohomo also there seems to be another spider 17:50 check the front wheel

Good shit hommie!!!

I just got my two stroke going again for the first time in a few years in the last few days too! It's a great feeling to hear it fire up after all the blood sweat and tears! I'd seriously consider a compression test and top end rebuild though. The rings may not seal so good if it's sat and no telling what condition the cylinder is in. A machine shop can just give it a hone for around40 bucks to make sure the cylidner walls are straight and cross hatched, and top end gaskets are cheap, rings can be expensive sometimes but it's better to have a clean slate than put excessive wear on the cylinder already. Good thinking on running mixed gas incase the pump wasnt working! What ratio are you using?

right on buddy 2 stroke smoke lol

She sounds like a dream

That other cdi box may be saved by putting it in an oven at a very low temp for about an hour at around 130° moisture tends to seep in those shorting out the box and if it sat outside for years this probably would work I've brought many back to life that way some of us old guys know what were talking about

Hell yeah!

My dad has a beat up ‘75 Honda xr75 that is really similar to yours except it’s a 4 stroke, I’m thinking of buying it off of him, I think all it needs is some carb work, maybe a spark plug, and perhaps some work on the gas tank because the inside is a bit rusty, other than that just needs some grips and a seat as far as I can tell.

sick

Good job mister. Following you since your first project. Helped alot when i was creating my cb750! Keep up the good work. Any idea what color you gonna paint it?

If it had been a honda it would have fired right up on the first kick when he said let's see how many kicks it takes lol

2stroke for life!!!

Good 😎

I just installed a motion pro clutch cable on my 2015 kx450f waiting to test it out

There's nothing the matter with that bike you'd be crazy to tear that engine apart

was it ignition coil why it didn't get spark ?

I'm guessing the killswitch killed the spark.

THAT THING SOUNDS MEAN!!!

It looked like you didn't set the oil pump you put the filter on before you atached the pump cable, on the back of the throttle slide is a small round drilling a dent, it should be just touchng the top of the hole of the carb and the lines on the oil pump should be aligned , it shoud stop it smoking so much ;) you did well to get that running again ;)

I just acquired an old 75 Yam DT1 250cc and I'm slowly getting to the first startup stage. Only thing is, the rest of the bike is unsalvageable except for maybe the frame. Ebay would cost a fortune to put it all back together. I wonder what I may be able to put this little 250 two stroke into?

Holy shit this bike sounds awesome! Congrats my dude! :D

2 stroke 4 life!

Any chance you have the link to that throttle anywhere?

Lol Ron said it was a 79 then 1 vid later it’s a 77 now it’s a 75

This guy sounds and actually look like Mr.Beast

i bet its a new clutch cable bc i watched all the vids on the clutch

Dude im form pakistan 😂 love your vids by the way

What size is the mounting neck on your air filter ..as I look at it I'm thinking I'll get 4 and use them as pod filters on my GS 850 ...yes ..ill have to jet it to work properly with these filters ...

0:38 high school bathroom😂😂

My guess for no spark was rusty flywheel or dirty pickups in the coils under the flywheel?

Awsooooooome

damn dude, you look different now lmao

Use the new throttle cable if you have it and the old one doesn’t give you problems in he future but on the other hand keeping it original I like it

Are u sure it doesn't have points behind the flywheel

Throttle cable?

That's what my 66cc sounds like when I take out the baffle from the stock exhaust

Finally first!!

Why not use the new throttle cable and keep the old one you cleaned for a back up instead of the other way around?

#start

Can’t believe the Kickstarter didn’t kick back. Man that would’ve hurt. You’d think it would since it’s an old bike.

whats that "two stroke oil mix tank" does?

Your going to cook that clutch using that oil

2 stroke oil stays good longer than engine oil does mine

Im guessing rear mud flap??

I wish you could help with are atv

Damn I almost said the throttle cable

Clutch cable

You shoulda used the new throttle cable bro

Um the oil is supposed to be 750ml it says on the side right side of the casing

Either kill switch or engine wasn't grounded. 16:00 --------- Shit, I was wrong.
