In this video we take the Campus 60 for a ride and find it wasn't shifting into 3rd gear. All down shifts worked well. The bike also died on me on the ride after about a mile. It would start back up but if given any throttle it would die again. Sounds like a blocked pilot jet, also wondered about a bad condenser or coil. But it really sounds more like the pilot jet. I did adjust the shifter successfully and recleaned the carburetor. Then I took it for another test ride, and it performed flawlessly.

Dale a beautiful job on this little Gem , That sound and the feeling of total freedom I can still remember from those day's !

@montana2strokeracer 14 дней назад

Thanks John, it really is a little gem, the 60 was my first bike and you are so right.....the start of freedom.

Wow, Dale. Even from your videos on the road, you can tell that's Big Sky country! Thank you for taking us along.

@montana2strokeracer 14 дней назад

Thanks Johnnie, I am so glad you guys got to go along. It is my hope to get at least one video this year doing a ride in the high country.

I had never heard of a W.A.G. until today! Thanks for explaining what it is and I learn something new from every video! Great job on the little bike and I am looking forward to the next installment.

@montana2strokeracer 14 дней назад

Well Pete I am sorry you learned that from me. It is about as ruff of language as I use. Guess I learned it from the military. Been having fun with this little bike, the series has been well received, but I really don't understand why. Most folks seem to like the 70's bikes better.

@wayneknodel3347 17 дней назад

This little bike has been a great story (except for the shifter, that brought back the Hodaka nightmares!), especially when you were riding, that whine from the transmission is exactly as I remembered it.

@montana2strokeracer 16 дней назад

Hey Wayne, thank you for your comments about this series. This is a fun one for me also, since I had one of these around 1967. It has brought back a lot of fond memories for me also. I don't ever remember having to work on the shifter of the one I owned. But I do remember working on the shifters of the many Hodaka's I owned. The Hodaka was a better set up to adjust than this one. The dealer I worked for in the early 70's had a cut away case assy. You just bolted the side cover to it and made all the adjustments. Then reinstalled it on your bike.....worked perfect.

@steveh7823 18 дней назад

I found my OEM main jet was specced for sea level, I think they are all like this ex factory. I didn't touch the pilot jet. Since I was riding at 4 000ft ASL, I reduced the main jet. I bought 3 smaller jets and experimented. I increased the oil flow above the alignment mark (a WAG 🙂) to protect the bearings since a leaner setting causes the engine to run hotter. It worked on my TS185, revs climbed through the power band and cleaner exhaust.

@montana2strokeracer 17 дней назад

Sounds like a solid plan Steve, I think most of the bikes imported to the states were jetted for sea level except for those sent to the Rocky Mountain region. In my experience most of them were jetted a bit leaner. But still not lean enough for much over 5200 ft.

@douglasmeeker360 17 дней назад

What a pain that shifter mech is, good job in sorting out a niggles. You're right Dale it does really sound nice. I ran out of petrol this week & had to push the CT110 for 1.5km until someone stopped & helped me out with some fuel. Very embarrassing!

@montana2strokeracer 17 дней назад

You said it Darren, that shifter is a pain for sure. Think I made friends with it in the end though. I know, I felt like a fool pushing that bike. You always get some guy that drives by and says, "start the engine its easier that way".

Good job on that 3 Rd gear shifting fix,I would of had to scratch my head on that for a while the same ,,look for a nice early Kawasaki G4 Trail Boss dual range 10 speed to restore,,they are nice bikes. Stainless fenders and all

@montana2strokeracer 16 дней назад

Thanks Lynn, believe me there was a lot of head scratching going on. I think the hardest thing to find for those Trail Boss's is the countershaft sprocket. The last couple times I needed one, I had to just find a sprocket with the right pitch and cut the old teeth off on the lathe and weld the new teeth on to the old internal part. What a hassle, but nice machines they are.

@gregslair4278 13 дней назад

Lol Dale, I thought I was gonna have to jinx your bike and make you take apart the clutch basket. I'm sure you watched my video where mine gave me fits. I got it working fine, but I hear gear whine. Which I didn't think was normal since I don't hear that on any other bikes or even the Trailmaster 80 (which is basically the same bike). But I noticed yours makes the same sound, so I'm guessing it's all good? But definitely thank you for the 2mm washer fix for the shifting. My Trailmaster does the same thing and I kinda put that bike to the side because I couldn't figure out the cryptic info about the concentric nut and my adjustments of said nut failed. Now I'll get the Trailmaster out and give it a whirl again. So thanks for the video and thank you very much for the tip. I hope you guys are doing great.

@montana2strokeracer 12 дней назад

Hey Greg, yes please don't jinx my bike, it was a real bugger trying to figure it out. Think a lot of it was luck tell you the truth. Yes, I couldn't see much difference with the excentric bolt adjustment, the real difference was with the washer on the push rod in the sprocket. I bet you can figure it out, and yes, the wine in low gear is normal. We are doing fine here with summer finally getting here. Hope you folks are enjoying your summer also. Take care Greg, watching for your new video adjusting that shifter, or anything else you put out.

@josephdangelo1503 17 дней назад

Hi Dale, hope this comment finds you doing good. That little gal got some long legs. I can imagine the 90 twin will probably even be better. I have to say though that is the weirdest shifting apparatus I've ever seen, don't know a whole lot about those old bikes like that but I'm not sure if you saw the bearded mechanics one video he actually has one of those old bikes I think he's getting rid of. Maybe you may want to check it out but I'm not sure you might have your hands full right now with both of those. Anyway my friend I just wanted to drop you a hello and wish you many blessings as always. I actually was working on my carburetors today yeah Father's Day and got to see my daughter and my grandkids so that was a double bonus! Anyway my friend you take care and keep on wrenching.

@montana2strokeracer 14 дней назад

Hey Joseph, nice to hear from you, yes, I am looking forward to the 90 twin, this series has been fun, but I think the 90 will be more fun. I think luck has it I figured the shifter adjustment out. But that said, don't want to do another one. Think you may be the one with his hands full with all those grandkids.....enjoy my friend.

@@montana2strokeracerHi Dale, I just realized that I was mistaken on your Kawasaki. I called it a Big Horn instead of a Bushwacker. Big difference between a 350 and a 175. I just got back home from Phoenix with a couple of salvage yard rescues. Picked up a 72 TS250 and a 72 TS400. Both need a fair amount of work but I just couldn't let them get parted out. I also came back with some parts for some of the other bikes. Always spending more than planned as usual.

@lawerncemiller6557 18 дней назад

The shift mechanism in those old bikes left a lot to be desired with the small and kinda under powered engines of the time you did a lot of shifting an that shift mechanism wore a lot a lot of that wear was from getting dry a lack of lubrication newer bikes with the shifter mechanism built inside the transmission constantly lubricated with oil held up much longer and shifted smoother

@montana2strokeracer 17 дней назад

You are so right Lawernce, they used this same engine in the mini enduro, but they changed the shifting to the internal type. Almost indestructible.

@oldguysoldbikes 18 дней назад

Did you check the fuel cap for venting? You didn't mention it, but I suspect you did. That's acting the same as my AT3 was.

@montana2strokeracer 17 дней назад

I did Jack, this is the old-style twist on cap that has all the holes around the perimeter. No way to really check, like blowing in the vent hole. So, I just took compressed air and blew around the holes on the perimeter. It seemed ok. Didn't find anything in the pilot jet either. I didn't have the same problem on the last test ride, so can we say with certainty that it fixed itself? No.....but hoping!

@LynnKorte-ve4qf 17 дней назад

On my Kawasaki 90TR Bushmaster,I had the same problem ,I replaced my nylon carb collar on the back of the carb on its rotary valve intake and it's the same on that Yamaha intake and my problem went away,perhaps that's your issue ..it would only do it when the collar got warmed up and lost its mixture ,it was ended and at times it acted like it just ran out of gas ,,ck out that nylon collar as mind was wore egg shaped thru the years of vibration,even after I tighten it down ,,before I found it out,it would come and go

@montana2strokeracer 16 дней назад

Oh yeah, I have had my problems with those carb collars in the past. This one is very tight though. They are not available any longer, the last two I needed I made from Delrin for the CS3C that I have. There are a lot of wacky things that can happen to these old machines.

I think your engine is overheating because there is not enough oil mixed in the fuel.

@montana2strokeracer 17 дней назад

Hey Dean, could be so, I don't run any oil in the fuel, this bike has oil injection, and it was verified in the last video on this bike. It never tried to seize it just ran out of fuel, possibly because of a plugged pilot jet, or it may have been a plugged vent in the gas cap. Running good now though.
