  1. I still have the TY250. I just always liked a TL125. I bought this one from Clint in Hattisburg about 5 years ago. just now getting started on it. Yours sure was running good last time I got to ride with you at Bob's. Mine will soon.
  2. The clutch is on the end of the crank. The filter, which is not really a filter but that is what the book calls it, runs off another cog. Without removing this you can't get the clutch basket out to replace it. Got it all disasembled last night. Everything looks great, just need to replace the gasket and fiber clutch disks and I should be good to go. Steel plates were all still nice and flat with no glazing. Fiber plates were almost gone. Pretty impressed after 35 years of service.
  3. By chance I went to the oldest Honda shop in town at lunch today. Nobody there even knew how to look anything up if the computer said it wasn't offered anymore. Talked to an older man that has been there 38 years and told him my story. He opened his tool box, turned around and handed me the tool I needed to remove it. What a find.
  4. Seems to me that at about 1/4 throttle and up is where the main jet starts to kick in. Might be something blocking it and starving the engine for fuel or the needle is too low doing the same thing. At idle and up to 1/4 it is mostly the pilot jet I beleive. Just something else to look into.
  5. By chance do you remember what size socket you used. I like solutions like that.
  6. Trying to put a new clutch in my '74 K1. Problem I am having is getting the locking nut off that holds the oil filter assembly on. I have the cover off that is held by three screws, I am talking about the nut that has four slots cut in the edges and is recessed down inside the assembly. Is there a special tool or trick used to get the nut off. I have resisted the urge to jam a screw driver up there and start pounding with a hammer, 20 years ago I would have already torn it up by now. What do I do to get it off so I can get the clutch out?
  7. As far as Repro or OEM, I don't care because I am building this to ride. I am not trying to restore it. I am really looking for what will work best and is obtainable. If you don't mind the questions, please check out my other post about removing the clutch. Thanks for your help on carbs, nobody around I can ask.
  8. Scooter, if you are going by the shop and can eyeball the xr75 carb I would appreciate it. I have a friend that has a machine shop and I could get him to machine a spacer for me. Did you use alunimum to machine yours out, sounds like it is holding up good. How did you isolate the heat transfer from the cylinder to carb or have you had any problems with that? Sorry for all the questions but if you never ask...................
  9. Thanks. Mine sticks with the carb off the bike. You can hardly get it out. I wish I had a place to go check out a bunch of salvage bike and find what would work. Just trying to find out how others solved the problem.
  10. I have a '74 TL125 and the origional carb body is warped and the slide sticks so bad it is unusable. Has anybody run across another carburator that works on the TL that might be easier to find? It seems I remember someone saying a XR75/80 carb will work but I haven't checked and would assume it would need rejetting. What should I be looking for?

    Advice 315 98/99

    What year CR250 clutch plates fit the '98 315 ?
  14. It won't hurt to do it. Just get some new packing and go at it. I have the Sammy Miller on my TY and have repacked it once in three years.
