    Great series! I love old two stroke bikes. I would grab a couple friends, free the wheels up and get this inside a garage and keep going. These bikes are rare and worth the effort of restoring. Or, if you get it out and don’t want to mess with it, someone would definitely buy it!!!

    DON'T LEAVE IT IN THE SWAMP! Bring it home and work on it in a protected environment. You're in the middle of being your own worst enemy. Of course, the bike is too far gone to bring back, butt hey, you seem bound and determined to make it run again.

    Its cool bike for sure, and even cooler story.

    I'm restoring a '74 H1. It's a mostly complete barn find which was sitting in the shed for decades. I give you kudos for whatever you choose to do, but I can tell you it won't be cheap! After powder coating all of the painted parts, having the plated parts stripped and re-chromed including: Wheels, pipes, handlebars, buying new bushings, blinkers, numerous fasteners, having seat restored, battery and electrical parts, I'll have close to $8000.00 in it not including the cost of the bike. The engine on mine was no where as bad as this one. I poured pure Muriatic acid on the engine and let it sit several times to break loose the aluminum oxidation, then used wire brushes on a drill to remove the rest. This one is in terrible condition with not much left to work with. 99% of the parts are shot so they will be hard if not impossible to sell. You may not like it, but I'd run from it.

    Drag it up to your shop so it can dry out. Take you a cart out there and haul it back to the shop. Your making it harder on yourself by keeping it out there in the elements

    That's too bad, those 2 stroke triples are very rare. Sad it was abandoned like that, lot of money sitting there, collector's are always looking for those. Even a certified mechanic I have to agree, new project time... great channel. Keep up the good work.

    Sadly the sound track was so feint I couldn’t hear it. Don’t know if it’s due to viewing on an iPad or not, but I don’t have trouble with other vids. The sound worked on the adds in your vid anyway 😂😂. It came good half way thru the vid , then it cut out again 🤔

    I think I would try taking the wheel off, take the break pads/shoes off, and spray the bearings. So you can at least push the bike home. Then you can work on it at home, conveniently.

    Can try draining case, replug put gallon of evaporust in her.. give it 3 days drain, that don't work for nothing go to wd40 and give it a few days it eliminate moisture and cut the hell out of the rust. Until you get it completely apart and cleaned out, it probably isn't going to do anything at all. I will follow these vids with curiosity and put in a bit of advice maybe along the way.

    You gave up 2 easily lol you didn't focus on the bottom end, big chance it was locked up, you should have filled the bottom with thin oil, with a squirt of rust removal, and let that sit, you also could have tried turning it from the crank with a breaker bar,, my thoughts, also you could have got a block of wood and tapped the top of the pistons when you had the head off,ya could of got it turning over at least I reckon
