Hey I have a question for anyone who reads and might know what's up. I have a ktm 250exc 2 stroke. I will ride this damn bike for a day and if I turn this bike off at the end of the day it wont start anymore, we check the spark plug and no spark. There's a very small bit of what I'm guessing is oil. I've been through 3 spark plugs just wanting to ride but I know it can be a few things.. the bike runs and starts fine until the spark plug fucks up. I've adjusted the carb screw to what the manual says and went from 40-1 to 50-1 because that's what all my buddies use. Hasn't solved anything. I think I'm going to buy a carb kit but I don't know if the jets come with the kit. I'm thinking it could be the jets but someone's telling me it can be the struts or the reeds. What do you guys think? I'm going to take this dang thing apart next week but just getting opinions.

YEEEEEEEEESSSSS, the hand crank compression test is back in town, whoop whoop

It should idle with only adjusting it from carburator too

It should idle with the idle screw. The only reason for the cable adjustment is to take the play out of the cable. It’s dangerous to use the cable adjuster for idle speed. When you turn the bars it can make the engine rev. I’m pretty sure you have a leaky head gasket that is putting coolant into the cylinder. If your pump seal is bad you’ll most likely have oil in your radiator. I love the old cr’s. It just needs some tlc to bring it back. I’ll admit that some of the things you do drives me nuts but hey, we all had to learn this stuff at some point lol.

I would imagine no air filter is contributing to the high idle and believe me he is well aware it's not the right way to adjust the idle from the throttle tube.

There's an idle adjustment screw on that carb opposite side of the air screw. Do not adjust the idle using the throttle cable. There should be free play in the throttle.

free play some 3 MM to 5 MM is correct.

Dosent matter where you ajust it. Al long as you don't think an idle that high is normal

Need to start doing leakdown test on bikes. They'll never run right if you dont know if you have leaks or not. It would be a great idea if you plan on moving forward mechanically.

If your bike is burning the coolant oil mixture and making the smoke like you said, then your crank seals are bad. There is no connection between the gearcase and the cylinder, so the only way it could burn transmission oil or coolant is through the crank seals

Conner Jones Its unbelivable how long this Guy has worked on bikes, and still doesnt have a clue how an engine works. And it could of course leak through the head gasket Also. But it might aswell have been some condensation in the pipe. And the engine having a bit of Milky oil could Also be from sitting. This Guy is the definition of clueless

A resto to make it look as close to the way it came from Honda would be so cool ! I remember seeing these bikes in the showroom as a kid (yes I'm old). On the frame and swingarm try some aircraft stripper and polish/reclear the swingarm. The frame originally should have been red with a blue seat. I loved these little bikes I'm so excited to see it be saved ! Great find Joe !

I'm glad you still make videos because you have so many "top notch mechanics" spilling they toxic bullshit on your videos I love your videos

Joe I tell ya my brother, I'm so busy like you, I'm just getting caught up with these videos 3 years later!😮😅 As someone who owns a bunch of farm equipment with small engines, your videos are very helpful. Thanks so much. Allan in Columbia, SC

Love your videos, reminds me of my childhood. Only thing you really shouldn’t adjust idle at the throttle. The adjuster at the throttle is the cable adjustment, you need 1/4” free play to stop throttle surges while riding. When you adjust from the throttle you are taking all that free play away. If you can’t get it to idle with the idle screw there is a problem somewhere, usually just a carb issue. Besides that keep up the good videos, keep learning and keep the passion alive👍👍

Good job bro..keep em flowing 🤙🤙

Very much looking forward to this series of videos!

This was my first race bike when I was a kid! Thanks for bringing the memories back to life man. Great project!

Dear Santa: for Christmas I would like a compression tester, micro air guage and a 100 gallon drum of WD 40

glad to see you fixing up another dirt bike and not a quad. if it is not idling right you probably need to take the emulsion tube out of the carb and clean all the little tiny holes in it , good luck

I was 8 years old when this came out and if you were lucky enough to have one you were king of the neighborhood lol

Rad bike Joe. Those things were quick with little kids riding them!👍👍👍

Great videos .Since it won't idle by the idle screw check the needle on the throttle slide if someone had it apart they might have the c clip to high might have to move it down a Grove most are in the center Grove

Still worth changing the seals make sure there’s no pitting on the impeller shaft if it has new inner or outer seal will still leak! Loved the video them old 80’s kick it 😂 😂

the frame are red original in 1987

love the vid and love the cr80s :)

Love watching your videos bro

Will you do a engine rebuild ? And also my kx60 had the gray kinda oil so it’s needing a seal kit

That white smoke is most likely not coolant its means you have alittle more oil in gas mixture then you need but it's ok especially when it hasn't run in awhile👍🤙

so beautiful to listen to this old beast

Love your videos and helpful too 👍🏻

Wow Honda cr 80 honestly it’s the first dirt bike i ever touched .....upstate NY.......GREAT MEMORIES

Hey joe, just a tip man when ur starting a two stroke you don’t have to blip the throttle on every kick, might make for easier starting if you stopped.

You should vapor hone and completely restore it...these will bring up to 3000$ restored

Oh freak yea another build

might as well have taken the motor apart and painted the piston black too ffs

If I'm not mistaken you can adjust the idle by turning the choke knob forward or backwards. That's how my 1990 cr and rm 250s do it

Ya got me paying attention now!

A friend of mine had an old 80's cr and had it fully rebuilt it was a rocke kept up with the modern bikes and in come cases beat them.

@motorco.9454

those cr80s had the best power to weight ratio

Some of those Hondas have the idle adjust tied into the choke knob. Try twisting the choke knob in or out as needed. You do not want to adjust the idle by tightening the cable. Something else is wrong if that is how you are adjusting the idle. That little hose is just for carb venting, it allows the float bowl area to be at normal atmosphere pressure, not pressurized or vacuum. Should not affect idle at all without that hose.

28:50 was the best part 😂

You need to loosen the lock nut so you can adjust the idle. The lock not is the knurled thing right up against the throttle and it's keeping the adjustment from taking place. Also, isn't there a screw on the carb. that's for adjusting how far the needle and slide move down the barrel?

I think the shock is supposed to be like that for the airbox/ boot to go to the carb. I’ve had an 1984 cr60 and it’s the same way

Gas the way the whole bike compresses when he kicks it 😂

Good luck finding plastics I have a 93 and that’s hell to find parts for

Rode the hell out of my kdx 80 in my teens that bike ran forever didn't know anything about bikes back then but mixing gas and changing plugs even put it in a crick just flipped her over and popped the plug out and ran it good out 80s just run 👍

I have a cr80, have you checked the engine vin ?

That bike will definitely be a great competition with that 125 my old 87 cr80 used to beat 250’s and all

GEE WIZ THAT AIR FILTER LOOKS LIKE A WORN OUT BUFFING PAD LOL

Is he saying “tag” or “teg” at the start talking about the cr80 i.d plate

Use citrus based Paint stripper on the plastic. Then wet sand them with fine sand paper to bring color back.

Here’s your chance to turn a beat up nasty looking bike into something really nice. I’m not talking about with bling parts. Getting it back to original would be awesome. Silencer sounds hollow. That’s the least of that bike’s issues but just throwing that out there. Tare it down and split it apart. Make this one your “restore” project. That bike deserves it.

Water pump seal and bearing kit from Ebay and a clutch cover gasket if the top end has o rings build it up with motoseal gasket maker and let it dry overnight and then put orings in place

I have a 81 cr80r can't find anything for the bikes motor locked up...I'm in ny nothing for them bikes in the state...nice project

Love 87 CRs, the problem with small wheel bikes is they cost as much as 250s to restore cosmetically but no one wants to pay 250 prices to buy one. could look cool All that paint will scrape off with a stanley blade

Did you clean the jets with a needle to get crap out? You said blowing out and that doesn’t help if they aren’t gone through

that thing is insane

Gonna have to set your mixture screws to get idle right.

You can buy spray that can take spray paint off with a hose, I would look into that, instead of a heat gun

Think your best bet for this bike is to take the motor out and see what’s wrong with it besides it would look a lot better if you striped it down went through the whole bike and sand blasted the frame gave her some primer and paint because she’s in need for a complete rebuild still it should be a good little series

Hey 2 vintage love your videos ! Suzuki rm 125 1980 would be cool UK high five ✋

I had a 1987 cr250r that I sold about 3 weeks ago😥 just needed to be resleeved😭

“Need two hands for this” uses one hand

as for the shock, i had a cr80 1995 and it was off to the side so i think it is supposed to be like that

Lmao everyone having a fit over him using handle bar adjustments to do idle be talking smack about my whole town that rides lmao

can’t you put air in the forks to stiffen them?

Its going to be hard to get the idle down when it has no resistance on air flow with no air filter.... Plus u should not use the cable adjuster to adjust the idle because if u turn hard it will change it but its whatever I love the older Honda CR's

Without the air filter it would be normal to get a lean idle, but you get the opposite, mid throttel and idle are way to rich. You might need a leaner idle jet or maybe you just made the hole larger while clining it. You might want to replace both crank seal, water pump seals, reads and head gasket After that you should be ok

First!! By the way your videos are extremely inspirational and our friend actually got the kx80 from you a couple months ago. Keep it up!!!!!!

Top end bearing is toast

Front suspension prolly has little to no milkshake in it. Change the fork oil, if the seals aren’t leaking, should be fine.
