  1. Did a small ride out, everything works as it should. Revs and pulls perfect. The smoke cleared so i am happy no engine rebuild needed. I am gonna enjoy this cracking bike coming summer!
  2. Yep a bit of smoke, it stood for about 10 years so i will take in for a gentle ride, lets see if the smoke clearing. If not the a crankoverhaul and new pistons is probably the next thing
  3. So Started working on this little bike, it looks untouched it had the usual maintence but it hasnt been abused. Started with the usual stuff, forkseals, tyres,chain,caliperseals, carb overhaul,brakelines and other engine seals wich looked suspicious. Parts are very hard to find or not to find so i had to buy imitation for some parts @Jellywas so kind to ultrasonic clean the carbs for me. Downside still not running as the supplier of carb parts did not deliver what i asked for. Luckily i found a bellypan and an imitation seatcowl to complete the bike. Keep ya updated!
  4. Well if thats the case then of all the 5 sets the wires and or caps would have been faulty wich could be the case but i think not. Thing is all of the sets where old and came from bikes i took apart in the past. As i mentioned all of the sets where measured and gave proper resistence as prescibed in the workshop manual I even testend leakage from the leads and caps in the dark spraying with a plantspray wich did not gave any suggestion that would be the problem.
  5. For those wich are interested... I have solved the issues on this bike and it runs perfect now. What was wrong ?? I almost threw the towel but decided to give it one more try, as i thought it was an electrical issue i started measuring al elektrical components including the coils once more just to be shure. In all those years i am spannering on old Suzuki's i thought this aint gonna win from me. So after measuring and testing the only problem could be the coils, but the resistance from them where spot on hot and cold. I have about 5 sets of coils so i tried another set wich where measured and tried them still the samen issue. After trying 5 sets wich all gave factory spec resistance hot and cold i still had the same issue. So i thought wtf is going on here, i rembered having a set of 750 stick coils somewhere > sourced them installed them.. Damn the issue was gone !! so now we have a good running bike wich starts on the button hot and cold. So dont believe what you measure and never ever use old coils, i can tell you i wont ever again! this bloody bike stood about 1,5 year because of this.
  6. I did not Swap swing arms I took a slabby swing arm, chopped the part that holds the suspension mount and welded in that part from a slingshot to get rid of the ridicilous non adjustable slabby linksystem. In that way the swinger looked like a slabby swinger but now ridheight was adjustable.
  7. So 7 years later i finally bought a rg250we wich is in much better state then the one mentioned in this topic. Stood for a while but hopefully with some tlc i have a nice little bike. Bought it without running or riding so fingers crossed lol
  8. It was me indeed, must say no problems only thing that happens is wear on the half moons located at the crank. Cause of sideway forces.
  9. I used a set up like this on my first turbo build. You blok the oilintake with a piece of feathersteel. When the oilpump sucks it wil create a vacuüm above wich will suck the oil from your turbo. You will need a flapvalve one way to prevent oil from draining back. The thickness of the Steel is very delicate you need thick enough to create vacuüm and not to thick so your engine doesnt get enough oil. I used the example from Joe Hailes book. It worked for me very very good but i wouldnt recomend it cause its a Bitch to get it working properly. So yes just buy a crankdriven scavengepump i used one on other builds much easier and safe.
  10. No i havent installed new plugs yet, an easy fix to try i'll order some. Thanks for thinking along with me !
