Howdy!! Got the same bike and I would love to restore that’s why I’m watching this video, is there any advice you got for an amateur bike mechanic like me to make this project possible? The starter kick is not working
not a restoration- and never leave a crank bearing on the crank shaft for a install-the right way to fix the broken stud is on a angle plate using a bridgeport to drill and tap on the correct stud location.
Not even close to a restoration. It's not even a competent rebuild. Why would you put all those heavily used and worn parts back in and together when you have the entire thing completely torn down? IE new bearings new piston, rings, clutch etc etc. These types of guys give people a bad name. It's going to blow up again shorty after he flips it I would bet money on. If you aren't going to do things right just don't do them at all. Having to fix and rework some hack's shoddy work that doesn't know what they are doing is twice as much work as them just leaving it alone. Also by this part in time and history there are no such thing as "parts bikes" anymore. He also wrecked and cut up a perfectly good bike someone else could have easily restored the right way.
Please tell me you will replaxe those bearings in the bottom end. They were noisy as all hell and obviously bad. Its a simple matter of tine till they start coming apart and destroy more parts in the motor. If you didnt hear those bearings rattling in their races you are deaf.
