This was my neighbor's first bike bought new from the mid 1980s about 20 ish years before I was born

I asked if I could tinker with it to try and revive it since it's been sitting there as long as I could remember

It's got a contact breaker point in it

Issues on issues #motosky

No spark, no fuel, lotta stripped bolts and rusty headache

But hey at least the motor spins

My first time working on a 2 stroke, and a contact point at that

I don't really know where to start

What have I gotten myself into #motosky

I could try eliminating the aftermarket fuel shut off valve since before it didn't have a problem with it, as for the carb the last time I checked inside changing jets, it was still decently clean

As for the fuel, it's a gravity fed, I'm planning on getting a bigger hose since it starves after wide open for a while

I'll try a standard plug for the engine when it cools down, as for the exhaust, it has a gutted muffler and a bigger elbow

Tesco on kickstand, looks way lower and longer than I thought with both wheels down

Aftermath of the oil spill because 2 of the 4 bolt holes goes into the case

Convenient at Parking #motosky

After extensive modification to the kickstand mount to fit with the half shifter, Tesco is finally easier to park quickly and as a bonus I fitted the swingarm a chain guard

Thanks to my uncle for letting me borrow the angle grinder and flap disc

I tore the engine open because the bag of bolts has been persistent and I had a gut feeling my piston was upside down, now he runs quieter but I still need to know how to properly tune the jets

I think my manifold is still leaking, mid rpm it stumbles a little even after adjusting the needle to low

The plug? Oh yeah, I was trying to do an experiment with side gapping I've heard on the internet

Might've cut too far back but it's still burning well

Quiz Time #Motosky

Alright guys I got one for you, which valve do you think is bigger and which piston cutout is wider?

Now if you put 2 and 2 together, you can see what's making that bag of bolts sound inside

(Dw I've checked the movement and everything is working as it should)

That's a good place to start, start off small where you're comfortable like changing spark plugs and oil then work up to more complicated stuff

And it seems you and Grandong have been through a lot together, having a connection with him is good

It might be best to keep it, my uncle gave me the keys to his motorcycle before going out of country and now I've named him "Tesco" and modded him that barely looks like the original

Tesco's New Look + Announcement #motosky

I had some spare black spray paint and thought I'd finally repaint the body panels and tank on Tesco, went better than I thought actually

As for the announcement, I'm now an out of school youth after dropping out of mechanical engineering from failing

It's actually the idle screw

#motosky wanna see a magic trick?

Tesco next to a Yamaha Mio with some work done to the head

Tesco's Top Speed Update #motosky

Recently finished modding the carb putting different jets, and a bigger ported manifold, Tesco now reaches 120 km/h and still pulling, only reason I backed off is because the roads now are too short

Throttle Situation Resolved? #motosky

On another note, I managed to fit a quick throttle on Tesco, it fits great apart from the really long cable and super stiff twisting, but it does return really fast

50cc rarity #motosky

Went to my neighbor to drill new bolt holes on the manifold I got and he was working on this old thing

Malaguti Phantom F12, heard he clocked it going 160+ km/h in this dilapidated state

Throttle Cable Madness #motosky

With the old cable now being too short for the bigger carb, I've taken the throttle cable I bought a year ago that didn't fit because the inner cable was super long and used "spacers" to make due

Works great but I'll find a correct throttle cable soon

Mmm, moon dust...

I've not seen that happen before on a motorcycle so far

Because the rear wheel got shrunk by a few inches from R17 to an R14, it needs a way smaller rear sprocket than I thought, 70 km/h is already making the engine rev higher than it normally does

Tesco at my friend's house

Bowl of the 27mm carb peeking from behind the body panel

27mm carburetor crammed in where the stock 20mm is

The long awaited top speed reveal #motosky

With the gutted housing for the stock speedometer, all the mods have resulted in a top speed of...

105 km/h because of traffic..

Time to test out the new bigger carb then

Oh Jesus that's a lot

I once aquaplaned the old pickup we had, water shot up to the windshield and I couldn't see a thing for like 5 seconds

Once I get back to Tesco, I will test his limit with the modded gauge since it now has the more accurate original speedometer internals, and possibly test out the new bigger carburetor

Maybe try twisting it or shaking it up and down? I've gotten a few stuck exhausts that way before

Vmax? Top speed?
