March 4, 20215 yr Hey up, Another newbie here. Looking for advice on a TY250 twin shock rebuild. Its a Colin Appleyard special, on an 85 plate. My Dad bought this new then handed to me, rode it around a few times then went into storage for a good 15 years. Has been a chuff to start over the past 15 years and smoked heavily when eventually started. Suspected a crank seal or two. Recently started the strip down and found the seals to be completely knackered. Hoping to get this all sorted and ready for my lad to enjoy in the future. We like doing stop motions so did one of the carb, and a time lapse of the strip down which can bee viewed on youtube in the links. I have made a huge mistake, and completely kicking myself,..... managed to break the clutch basket (regret selling my compressor and tools massively now#!) carb stop motion engine stripdown part 1 Anyway been lurking for a couple of weeks, picking up some great knowledge, and now i have a few questions. will also keep YT updated as it might help others in the future. Ta
