Granpa told me if I got it running I could have it, so I spent a week soaking the piston to free the ceezed motor, didnt work, so I got better oil, and soaked it another week.
Being 14 that was about as far as my patience went.... so I shoved a long bolt in the compression release valve hole and hit the shit out of it with the biggest hammer I had... bingo. Little fuel and oil, a quick points adjustment and I had a dirt bike
Granpa was pretty suprized.
Fast forward 6 or eight years, I was moving to Arkansas in my 510, no feasable way to take the yamaha with me... so I tied a new rope to it, and down the cliff it went....
Well I spent a week up at the property cutting downed trees and decided to cart it up the cliff and bring it home.
Today I cleaned it up a bit, and made sure it still ran, it does. Did a quick burnout before I lost spark, points are crap, fixed the points and broke the fuel line in half, fixed the fuel line and snapped the filter in two.... so I said fuck it and just hosed the moss off of it and started measureing what steel I need.
This is probably going to be the easiest bike to hardtail ever.

I may peice together a dt360 motor I found and give her some more street credit.
But it only has to keep up with my moms 250 rebel... wich it more than does already, 2 stroke power is pretty awsome.
