New to 2-stroke yamahas..which sled do I have?

[Pikok Junior]

Did some tinkering and got it to start. Now the fun can begin! It sounded nice and ran okay. The carbs aren't getting any fuel though. I'll start tearing it apart tomorrow. It turned out that the coils were still wired to the CID box. I just unplugged the ignition like what was suggested and tested for spark. It sparked and then I got happy! At least I know the motor is good.

Knowing the sled will run is a good start. Getting everything back to normal is the next step and soon you'll be riding.

Thats awesome. Take your time and clean it up and go over every thing. Then ride it hard.

its got character... I love it. You could double or triple your money parting it out.

Way more than tripple his money. Especially when he only paid $250. I just sold my redhead engine for $1000 today....

Fix it up and have some fun with it!

I'd like to think it's stil salvagable....even if it a hodge podge of stuff. It's nice to know that parting it out would be worth while too. It's always nice to have a plan B.

I just can't find these machines on the slope. That's kind of why I want to at least get it semi-decent.

It is worth fixing up and riding and those Redheads are hard to kill when left stock and maintained properly.

If you only have a little gas in the tank the pump has a hard time lifting gas to re prime itself, especially when your only yanking it over on the rope. If you fill it at least till the fuel tank fitting your not having to lift the gas over the hump.
