That thing is now nearly the price of his first road bike ten years later. I’m 6’4” and still ride the field bike for a chuckle. It was my first trials bike at 7 years old so I’m trying to stay young. Ours in the U.K. were white although we got a lot of US imports in junior trials that were yellow.

      SO, you are just a happy person? Or a fool?
      1.) Do you do a compression test with throttle open?
      "Almost every compression testing guide tells you to hold the engine's throttle wide open during a compression test"
      2.) Can I do a compression test with carbs off?

    Helpful hint.......when using Channel Lock type pliers, turn them the other way from how you had them. The pressure from your hand will assist in clamping the pliers harder on the object you are looking to loosen. The way you did it is actually causing them to slip.

He told me it would run with the exhaust unhooked but not when it was. On a hunch I bought it, brought it home, took the pipe all the way off. Banged it a bit on the ground and shook out a coffee can full of cat food the mice had filled it with. 😳 The sled ran great after that for many years! 😊

    I had a GT80 when I was a kid (now 59), not sure of the year though. Father bought it as a “basket case”. The engine was literally apart in boxes. He was in night school for motorcycle repair and made this a project to work on at class. It took forever to get done. They’d work on it maybe an hour or two a week, and it was always having to order another part, like they couldn’t look ahead and see what it might need.
