Thank you! She’s coming along. It’s kinda nice that the rust isn’t as bad as on the XL500 but at the same time it’s a bit less content for the channel because there is less work lol.
Hey Garage great video love it. I have a 1975 RD350 that I brought back to life been working on it/ riding last 3 years. Points where initial issue on my bike too then on to fuel tank /carbs. Had a heck of a time getting it running correctely between carburetor issues and electrical system. When you have both issues going on at same time hard to tell where problem is. I replaced Ignition system with Vape power dynamo Ignition better charging and electronic. Had cleaned carburetors several times with new jets still had intermittent firing on one cylinder so I did 24 soak in carb clean and that did the trick. great to see your projects
Thanks for tuning in Johnny! Glad you got yours sorted as well. It’s the best feeling when you get something running again that’s been left for dead. I always keep my eyes open for an RD350. I’d love to get one of the orange ones. Perfect looking bike in my opinion and I hear they are a blast to ride. I appreciate your feedback too!
Awesome I and a couple friends ,we are all same age more or less, are looking at getting a few our error trail bikes and rehabbing em and do an trail/street ride from north Jersey to northern Orange County ny your videos are just what we need to get cracking😎😎
@@Garage2Trail we have a bunch of different modern machine but we are looking at some ke175 dt 175 even if I can find a hd sprint 175 I’m gonna look at a couple bultaco pursing but I think there to much Jawa cz is also on the list but we will see my current machine is beta xtrainer but I want an old rehab for this winter
Idk how far you and the guys you ride with are from here but when we get it together you’re welcome to video it and ride along. It’ll probably take some time to get squared away but the gears are meshing😎
Looks a good honest bike under the crud 👍 Good to watch it slowly getting back to running .Keep it up.👍

Subscribed. I'm just bit ahead of you on a '73 DT3. Enjoyed watching you work on yours and it motivates me to get back to work on mine.
Thanks for watching and subbing, Brannon. I’m glad to have motivated you! Gotta keep all these classic bikes going!

Just so happens mine is the Portuguese Orange flavor. I was fortunate to come across the bike I was actually looking for a Dt.
@johnnynewburgh9745 oh man we should trade! 😉
I really enjoy your videos! I am however surprised at your use of a crescent wrench and lack of nut drivers? You get it done.
Thanks man! I’ve learned to adapt I guess lol. I appreciate you watching and for the input!
Hi, when you soak the tank in vinegar, flush it out with water and bicarbonate of soda to neutralize the acid!!
Thanks for the tip! I’ve just been using water then a little bit of fuel to slosh around and dump to clean. I’ll have to try that next bike.
Man you get so lucky on your buys
I know! I’m just waiting on one to have catastrophic bottom end failure somewhere lol
I’m liking what’s happening here love me some VINTAGE 😁
I appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching!

That’s awesome! You should video as much of that as you can. Would make a killer video series! What kind of bikes do you guys have?
