  1. Hi fellows. We are in the same predicament. As the bike arrived in a parts we are having a hard time figuring out the correct spacer, washer order combo on the front hub. We also have a speedo to fit. Any pictures or diagrams would be great. The parts Manual we have is not too accurate. Thanks.
  2. Hi Oldaz. As the motor is being worked on in the shop we are turning our attention to the clutch and frame. I got the clutch apart. Looks ok but its bearing is being replaced. Can you do me a huge favor and take some pictures of the front hubs? The bike came in parts and we are unsure of the collar and washer locations. We have a speedo too. That would be great. And thank you. Patrick
  3. Clutch apart. Bearing being replaced. Clutch plates look very grooved. Not sure if this is acceptable and can't find any specs. So how do these look?
  4. Great tool fabrication. Thank you. If I understand correctly one must remove first the small Friction Disk Spring retainer clips prior to compressing the plate enough to pull out the pins? Gracias!
  5. Hi Fellows. Our 349 has a clutch in need of attention and need to check the plates' condition etc. First concern is on how to remove the 3 or 4 retaining clips on the outside of the plates without damaging them? And is this preventing the removal of the gear section on rear of basket? Next it seems very difficult to press the plates enough to be able to remove the pins. Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, what are the wear tolerances on the plates and signs of excess wear. Thank you. Here is a picture of the basket and note the little retainer clip.
  6. Will do thanks Thank you Oldaz. Something is really odd on mine. I can't get the clutch to be pressed in to to release tention so as to pull out the pins which would allow me to remove the plates. That is why I was asking about removing the retainer springs on the outside of the basket. When we got the bike the clutch was already removed so not sure what its condition is. It seems really dirty and maybe corroded. Thanks.
  7. I've got a nifty 349 engine rebuild guide. PM if you want.

  9. Hi fellows. Any advice on removing the 349's spring retaining pins (i think PN 0263.11305) on the outside of the plates so as to disassemble the clutch for inspection? Also, any specs on plate wear? Thank you
  10. Great work! Turning our attention now to the clutch basket while out crank and cylinder are being reworked can you let us know how you removed the discs from the Outer geared set from Disk Set? Any pointers and things to look out for? thank you kindly.
  11. It’s worth it’s weight in gold!! Is there a way it can be seen somehow? It would be a great tool. Thank you.
  12. Is there a parts manual which decodes the numbers into the name of the part? Could use one for the 349.
  13. Excellent repair. Thinking ahead when we begin to reassemble the engine, can you please describe what you accomplished in “kick start timing”. Thank you.
  14. Interesting. The 349 we are restoring has a hole too at kicker shaft area. So, this is caused by a miss positioned kick lever? I dreaded that something in the mechanism close to the case may have been the culprit.
  15. Hi Kevin. Right you are. I see all the file. Thank you for providing this. I thought you meant you had another version of the file. Sorry to confuse you.
  16. Kevin J. If you have a digital PDF of the manual the graphics would be super clear. Thank you so much! pmbaures@yahoo.com
  17. Hi fellows, in the process of restoring a TY80. I could really use a PDF of the Owners/Shop Manual. Thanks, patrick
  18. Hi Kevin,

    might you still have a TY 80A Owners Manual on PDF I could hav?

    thank you.

  19. Hi fellows. Anyone out there have a PDF version of this manual to use on my my current TY 80 restoration. Thanks, Patrick PS. I have the Parts Book if interested.
  20. Hi there. My TY175's kick starter has begun to feel a little looser then before. Most worrisome is the fact that it seems to not "catch" or engage until very low on its throw. Unlike my TY250 which seems ready to catch and propel right away. Seems like the 175 only grabs and propels about the last 3 inches or so of its travel. Any ideas? Thanks
  21. Hello all. The electrical portion on the throttle/kill assymbly on my restoration TY is finally beyond repair. The post and contact slider are disconnected. Anyone have the innards they want to get rid of so I can reinstall them in my housing or know of a source for these parts or a place to have it rebuilt? I could always put an after market kill switch but I love the classic look of this bike. I found a source on e bay that sells the black thumb switches so I feel I can manage this off. Thanks!
  22. I think you are right. It's a bike I recently acquired and was in sad shape. I plan on just having it as such till I do a major on it as I did on my TY250A. The band aid approach is fine for me now. I appreciate your advice as I am a novice at this. Thanks
