In addition to the exhaust tape, you could try some HVAC aluminum tape on the backside of the fender. The glue is meant for high temp applications and it should hold up for years.
Thanks for the video. I'm an old Zilla guy, bought new, still have it (in a lonestar 250 chassis). After my first build (Duncan National kit), my zilla was running similar, swapped jetting, had no effect. Eventually found a small metal shaving on my CDI pickup...sticking straight up, tiny piece....flywheel was shaved, I suspect it was riding on flywheel until pickup grabbed it. Totally fixed at removal.
"Can't stop staring at this thing" Me too bud... Also, for something as mechanical, and simple as a carbed 2 stroke, you wouldn't think cable management would come into play. Came to work on damn engine, found out it has the needs of a computer Lol. Also, doesn't matter if you're a young and just learning, an old and grizzled veteran mechanic or if you're working on a Brigg's and Stratton, a high compression 2 stroke build, or a 1000hp Big Block...the ritual of the first start up puts a smile on the face every time. Seems like your Zilla is a little camera shy when it comes to running, but hey. That's what what the test and tune is for, will be watching the next vid to see what happens next!
Excited to see these bikes in person next week, man! You definitely have your work cut out for you. I just got my new build dialed in this past weekend and I was sweating it!
Pingel makes some nice high flow petcocks. I would definitely get one in there eventually. But good luck getting that thing going man. Loving the vids.
@@jaegersracing definitely not trying to give you advice man lol. But yea you can def modify the old one. But a pingel would compliment the rest of that build nicely 👍🏼
I tthink your right I didnt notice a good amount of spark considering rotations the motor made . maybe pickup coil if it has one buy the flywheel. Or something making ground somewhere ignition like you said youll get it'' had one go on a honda of mine back in the day it was magnetic. so yeah took a couple times to figure it out flicked it whith my finger realized it broke but it slapped against flywheel after hard landings on jumps. Honda 250R and 500s were fun back in the day! good times. The pits were in my back yard pretty much rode daily not so much now. nice build. An collection just awsome. Nice job!!
Iv never had a problem by having fuel lines looped all over the place high or not.thats how my trx250r is.i have it that way so i can remove my tank and sit it on the back where subframe is without disconnecting lines if i have to do some tinkering. Works perfect.my lines are looped all the way down by the stator cover and back up.i have rubber isolated conduit clamps held on my one stator cover bolt that holds it.as long as the lines are lower then the tank it should never be an issue
@@jaegersracing I live in philadelphia an pa riding in the coal mines and mountains are hard on the bikes but new jersey pine Barrens are sand and not 2 bad on the bikes
Hola amigo tengo una moto como la la tuya. Me podrias ayudar a conguir los fenders. Trasero y delando. Oh sabes donde los puedo comprar en color amarillo. Espero y m puedas ayudar . Gracias y feliz año nuevo ;)
2 people, ramps, and a ratchet strap wrapped around the carrier section of the swing arm. Use the strap to do the heavy lifting, have second guy hold brakes while you redo strap. Repeat. Once up on shelf, swing front end. Or, use tractor with bail spikes Or, back truck up and transfer it from truck bed
This guy is such a sloppy builder...sometimes he made me cringe...just threw parts on and tightened...forget positioning or fitting them correctly...same with that chain...geezus where did this guy learn this stuff??🤣
@@josesolis4505 I wouldn't go that far. He is young, but he has excellent potential, and is sure to improve with time. I've been wrenching for 20 years, my Dad for over 50, and we still learn. His love for Suzukis is unquestionable, and very admirable. He reminds me of me when I was younger, and during better days.
Dude I don't know if your engine braking but it sounds like it I could be wrong but if you are, never engine brake on a 2-stroke! Never ever ever! The bike will run at high RPM under engine braking means lack of engine lubrication cylinder lubrication, a two-stroke engine gets lubrication under throttle gas mixed with oil!, when Engine braking with a two-stroke the cylinder is revving and running but not getting the proper oil mix for the gas that it needs again I'm only asking and just putting it out there just in case
Yeah, it’s got brand new fuel and I was thinking fuel, but it seems to me that it’s more electrical. Feels like someone is flipping the kill-switch as I ride it. Going to check for loose grounds and then check ignition and CDI. It will be solved soon🤞
