Another easy bike to get going again. Luckily it wasn't stored outside and didn't need much to get her going again. This one is going to be a fun woods bike!
I dont know if you have heard the 2 vintage you tube chanel he has been working on bikes and atvs since he was a kid he is stil in his 20s but he is definitly a expert at it
I really don't see the problem with smoking the house with the beautiful aroma of burnt 2 stroke fuel! lol. Another great video. Glad you are making short work on these.
I had one of these when I was a child. Was used and it always fouled the spark plug. It stranded me too many times so I sold it, I wasnt aware how to fix back then. But it was really fun when it ran.
I keep an extra plug on me when riding it just because I’ve heard that same thing from others. Probably because they called for 20:1 premix and the older oils weren’t as good as what we have today
Thanks! I put that video out on Friday…it’s a blast back in the woods! Let’s see what the PE250 is all about back on the trails ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gsG93CQet3Q.html
That looks like a pretty straight original bike. The plastics look like they’re correct too. That multi tool was mounted to the top of the forks with rubber O rings ex factory. It’s a Suzuki so of course it’ll run 😎
Great bike! I recall it's a very heavy drinker. I would check the rubber bushes between the shocks and swingarm and frame, or maybe the creaking sound when you started it was just the loose seat.
Thanks for the new video! I would say that the fitted pilot was 37.5 (wierd mikuni!) and less than a turn out, l would go richer on the pilot jet. Watch that front sprocket - bit sharky!
I could be wrong, but from the bedspring sounds from the rear shocks, I would bet real money that this thing has a set of Curnutt shocks- they were really good, but always sounded like a bag of bedsprings...
Hey that's great I just picked up a '79 PE 250 2 days ago and there's no gas in it so I couldn't test start it or drive it and I guess from putting out the truck and taking off a little gas got freed up and went into the carburetor and then I was testing it it fired right up and ran like a champ. Great bikes. Hey does your friend have any extra shocks? Mine are toast. And a headlight and a tail light. Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Very cool! I’ll ask him…in my next video I’ll be mentioning his business which he deals with bikes and parting bikes out. Keep and eye out for that one!
