New bike day, Yamaha 100 Trailmaster, will it run 

I know your memory well my friend, very much like my own. Thanks for watching.

It sure is a cool machine, think it will be a fun project, so far it has been well received by folks following the channel.

Thanks Peter, yes think this will be a really cool project.

Hey Jim, yep pretty cool machine. Before Enduros were Trailmasters!

Thanks Jeff, they are getting hard to come by. I am also a little reluctant to pay what some want for these old machines; a lot has changed in the last 20 years. I have to get use to paying for stuff that folks gave away 20 years ago. This man did give me a great deal though. Glad to have it. Looks like it has been well received by many viewers, hoping the project will be followed with earnest.

Great bike

Yes, it's always fun to introduce a new one. I will be watching your new one for sure.

Thanks Dean, yep, I drug another cotton pickin bike home. Thats what my wife thinks anyway. She says it but doesn't mean it. Anyway, not as far as I know. Not familiar with the FS1E, but hey! All bikes are fun especially the old ones from our youth.

​@@montana2strokeracerI like it. I can see why they were popular in the States with all of the open spaces to ride. Best wishes, Dean.

I remember those bikes; I actually had the street version on this one. It was a sweet bike, looking forward to cleaning this one up.

Thanks Mark, this is going to be fun and a challenge. Parts are harder to come by.

I think your right, these are so simple and fun to ride. This is going to be a fun project. Thanks for hanging out with me in the shop.

Spot on Rob, I had a YL-2 in my youth. It was the street version, also a Campus 60. Both rotary valve engines. Thats how I started. I feel like things have gone full circle now.

Hey buddy, I was concerned a couple times, I believe the crank seal is leaking bad, lots of air coming in causing the racing, when that was happing the carb slide was all the way down. Weird! I think the next step is a leak down check.

@@montana2strokeracer sounds like it. On that one I would replace all seals. A beautiful bike though

Thanks Troy, you are sure right, there was a lot of technical improvements doing that time period. And a lot more since then. Thanks for spending time with me in the shop.

Thanks Matt sounds like I'm going to give those cutters a workout making cables. Thanks again.

Thanks Mark, yes, I am sure you are right, I haven't been able to find any specs for the float setting, I even have a factory manual, it's not in there.

Yes, I remember the 80 Trailmaster's, you got a much better bike in the DT250, but I think this one has a cool factor in these days, nice survivor. I won't be surprised if the forks are bent. LOL

Yes, I think you are right, pretty cool machine from back in the day. It's going to be a hoot to work with. Thanks for spending time with me in the shop.

Yeah, it was screaming a little more than I liked here, think the crank seals are gone, way too much air coming in. Leak down check next, I think. Nice talking with you the other day.

It was great to talk to you too Dale. If the little thing goes as good as it sounds, it will be tons of fun to rip around town on. I might have to look around for one to play on.

I think your right, especially on a dirt bike.

Back then some of the competition had two sprockets instead of hi-low gears. Must have been a cool novelty to not have to kick a bike to start it

Rd Enduro? Awesome! I have an XT350 with a RD400 motor in it!

Hey Mark, wow, that's a thought. I don't know anything about music, but I did know Yamaha made musical stuff first. Thanks for the tip. I will keep my eye peeled.

Hey David, thanks for spending time with me in the shop, you bet, when it gets hot, It just aint fun. It's coming to north central Montana this weekend, so will have the fans going for sure. I much prefer the 70s and 80s. Take care my friend.

Hi, yes, that is how I do it also, however I think this is not the correct float, the adjustment tab just doesn't contact the needle properly. It is at too much of an angle and slips off the needle plunger. The float just doesn't look correct for this carb. On the prowl for another one. Let's see what another looks like. Thanks for spending your time in the shop and thanks for the info. Sure, appreciate your comment.

@@montana2strokeracer or possibly the needle and seat were swapped out for another set at some point... Then the rule of thumb could still apply possibly although you'd probably need to shim the seat into the bowl with some gaskets or a copper washer perhaps.

No scooters here, move on Frank. We be motorcycle people. LOL

@@montana2strokeracer how about a vespa or lambretta? i meant you have so many people watching by the time i get there isnt any room to sit. so scoot over on the bench. LOL

@@montana2strokeracer Dale i happen to like scooters, the first motorized vehicle i had was in 1957 a Cuchman eagle. i like you and the channel no need for me to move on!

Thanks David!

This one is torn, my plan is to remove the paper and replace somehow, (to be determined) with Uni foam.

My wife wants a scooter, not sure how I feel about that. Frank I like reed valves, they are my fav.

Hey Larry, thanks for stopping by man.

I knew you would be here brother.

Thanks, yes, she sounds good and tight. May see if I can come up with a set of rings. But not necessary. What kind of Suzuki parts are you looking for. I do have some engine parts, not much else though. Ebay is where I find most of the parts I use, except for the new ones I get from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC.
