Just to keep you in the loop so to speak, It looks like I have got me a job out in Hampshire. If all works out for me I intend to do my best to move out of London and get a place down there to live and retire. Let you know how it goes. Looks like I have cleared all that I needed to and now the way is clear for me to move on. How are things going over your way, any projects in the pipeline?....

Nothing to do with outboard motors Richard, I just wanted to say thank you for your tip for taking apart the rear shocks on the CB125 you did using the caulking gun! Worked a treat on mine 😊. 👍

Tenho um motor desse em uma XLX 250r 1986 não vendo não troco comprei a moto com ele e o motor não está cadastrado no Detran do Brasil

Hi mate, who did you use to remove embedded bearings? Thanks

This is a great series of videos. I just picked up a ‘78 xl250s with totally buggered final drive - no splines on the sprocket end. So need to replace the final drive. I’ve never opened up a case like this so am curious if I have to remove clutch basket, flywheel, etc like you did. Or if once the top end is off and and side covers and bolts removed I can just split it and put the new (used) final drive in.

Any advice on removing the bottom cover of timing belt. Especially the bolt right next to alternator. It seems to be just spinning without anything happening.

ontop you gearbox bellhousing is an inspection hole , if you look throgh there with a flashlight you will see theres marks on your flywheel to line up the timing exactly and on the rear of the cam pulley is also a mark , line that up to be level with the very top of thecylinder head (on the back side) also have to make sure your tdc on the correct stroke for the distributer timing is not 180 deg out. this is easy to check by noting wich lead is from spark plug number 1 , pop off the dizzy cap and see that the rotor is pointing towards where you noted plug wire nr.1 is. Lastly , when you install the belt start on top , over clockwise down over the crank side pully , making sure theres no slack between the 2 pulleys on the front side , then keep that tension and slip over the rest of belt round bottem pulley , then you use your special tool to tension and then fasten the tensioner locking nut, you must take care not to let the belt slip and cause slack between the 2 pulleys like i explained , and tension it from the back . Very important !!! if you fit the belt the other way around, everything seems good but with sslack in front as soon as you tension the belt , the slack pulls tight and throws your timing out a tooth or 2 or 3 and trust me , a vw motor like that is very bitchy over just half a tooth out. just some tips from a guy who has done it 1000 times. lastly , i dont believe in that 90deg rotate trick on those belts. i tension it just a wee bit tighter than that. peace !!!!

Very nice

Not only an mk2 problem. The mk3 box is pretty much similar to this one. Mk4 got rid of this problem.

I was wondering how much fuel something that size could take 😄 all part of the fun!

This is innuendo bingo gold!

Sounded quite good for a two stroke. I bought a chainsaw at a boot fair non running for £30 and when I got back home discovered the carb was leaking fuel out and was sticking. Got a carb kit from Earnest Doe fitted it and it now runs sweet as a nut. Been using it down at my sisters place in Wales for the last 8yrs to buck up firewood. Thanks for the posting Richard....

very late to this party. novice question . can an auto box from a mk 2 golf be fitted to an engine that came with a manual box ? same years....thanks

Great how to. Just followed it. One thing - to get the last air chamber in (one that goes to centre two vents) you can remove a small bracket under dash just to the left of steering wheel. 4 x 8mm bolts, with that out the way the chamber goes in easily. You'll need a long extension for 8mm as one is quite far into dash

Vucum control value where does it connect to

I just bought a CB100 and CB125s completely in parts. Long-term rider, first time restorer. I can see that your entire series is going to be a Godsend! Especially as, like you, I'm on a budget and have only basic tools. Thank you for uploading these.

when do you know you need a new alternator? trying to diagnose my mk2 golf driver atm. it won't start and the alternator is really struggling to turn

I bought belt compressor from SGS just over a year ago, nothing other than headache . Overheating, oil leak, faulty switch box, faulty non return valve etc etc, so regretting for not buying Abac instead, like they say you get what you pay for. Never again will buy anything made by SGS!

If you pull the throttle leaver to full and push start leaver fully forward will no lock trigger in start position once started pull throttle leaver to release from start mode to run mode makes starting easier

Pls demonstrate the fitting of the manifold as well as the symptoms of a deep sound of the manifold where the down pipe meets the axhaust

❤beautiful you did great

do you have a video of you removing the stem seals?

Working on a project just like this is Mr. Richard weeks is there any tip for starting a project like this

Toque? Invented to stop overtightening

Hey im almost done today 4/29/2024 . Just finished the rear signal lights , the stator . The seat, the rear luggage bracket and the gas handle. Just need to install the rear seat not before making new holes in the rear plastic covers because the plastics went up about 1.5 inches and i can’t put the bolts.

what paint did you use on cover looks ace?

Richard Weeks, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

Hi Richard, The 76 CB/CG125J passed it's MOT. Going to visit my sister in Wales and spin about in the back roads. thanks for posting....

"Oh silicone, who uses silicone?" I know right, what's wrong with the good old cornflakes box?

Question for you if you recall. That pin that the notch in the spark advancer sits on, and that keeps it from rotating independently, is it a permanent part of the crank there or is it more like a woodruff key? Is it something that can easily pop out?

In Indonesia, especially in Bali, it is very difficult to find CB 100 spare parts. This makes people replace CB engines with more modern engines. but reduces the classic impression.

What a stupid thing to do to a scooter. It looks like trash without the front. What an idiot.

I got a cb125s and I'm in a rebuild prosses and these videos were very helpful.

Just wanted to ask, have you dropped doing You tube postings? Hope all is well. Jakob....

Clean naked frame build but those gauges suuuuuuck...put a koso cluster on it.

I got a 1971 honda cb100 and I was restoring the bike and using filler to fix a dent, but when I went to sand it down, i couldnt get the rivets out that the filler left so I ended up painting it, hoping the primer,paint,lacquer would sort it out but now it looks terrible, any suggestions what i should do next ?

At 45:02 did you manage to fix that noise ? Because i have the exact same problem in my seat ibiza mk2.

Hi Richard , will that compressor be Ok For Spraying a bicycle. 5 minutes max between coats . Plus where do the water trap fit on

Great transformation!! Have almost the same exact scooter and the plastics are broken so thinking of doing the same thing so this is a great tutorial. Pretty sure I won't invest the time you did, will look more like a mad max bike😅

I love the sticker bomb vinyl job.

Hello friend. I am converting my kymco scooter to almost naked and ive seen your videos and ive used your ideas to get something similar. I am also a professional welder and ive upgraded the 50 cc to a 150. Im also rewiring the moped and hiding as much wires as possible. Thanks for the inspiration. Take care.

Great work. Did you change the front 23" rim for a 21" one ? What tyres did you fit on your bike ? I red Maxxis trade but not sizes and types. That would help me with my 1978 L250S too. Thanks. Jef

I can't figure out how to remove the rear wheel and can't find any video on it

Good morning, where did you get the manual? Can you please share it with me?

What is the favourite tool name?

That head-on is the best 'POV FPV' shot on the internet.

Great review. Was going to buy one. Is it still working?

Did you use brake cleaner to clean off all the old foam/ residue off the plastic ducts where you applied the weather strip to also? About to start this job myself and just amassing all the bits I need beforehand; cheers!

Not seen any other of your vids but the fact that the seal came off again 'easily' begs the questions how easily did the old ones come off, and did the new ones stay on after you started the engine? As far as I was aware, the inlet suction in the chamber is sufficient to easily pop off any inlet seal not securely fitted behind a lip on the guide designed for this very purpose. I would have thought that once a seal is correctly and securely fitted behind any such guide lip, subsequently removing it would instantly destroy it in the same way the collet lip of the valve stem does on fitting that (and why a 'condom' is supplied in the kit). Obviously, once blown off, all oil above the valve gear has free passage through the valve guide and into the chamber, potentially creating a 'Gotham City-look' to the entire neighbourhood once the engine's running.

hi, whats the part number for the first oil seal you replaced? Thanks
