is that carby the funny looking thing with the bit on top like a current keien CR carby ? have one loks to be a bit alloy white on the outside, was on a 76 TS 250

ummm..I think that one you have freaky is the push/pull job but yeah,
so far as I know it's the same deal except the cable. I have the same style carb ('77 TS400) on my '69 TS250 and it works ok. The TS50 arrived last Sunday as you probably guessed. The frame was cactus underneath (fixable) hence I slipped the motor out and fitted it into the TS75 chassis. Pop off the head, check the bore, no probs, back on with the head, clean the carb, rip out the old airfilter, fresh fuel, connect some wires, 3rd kick and it started and went straight to idle! absolutely minimal engine noise and purrs like a kitty :o 1st kick now no choke and she's away everytime.. a bloody little ripper ;D The TS50 roller I'll repair for a another project. Anyway, consider the carb sold ;) thanks freaky

PM sent :)

sorry bout that Doc, cant say i ever looked at the frame, all i know is the motor ran as the local kids ran it in the back paddock before the throttle cable went, we got it off a dairy farm so that would explain why the bottom has eaten out.
you know if i knew i would have said so.
least its up there and has a new home
-
hey Freaky it's no issue bloke. It's obvious no-one would have seen it since the 'moment'. I'm more than happy with the bike but I just thought I best explain why I gutted a TS50 to make something that never existed :) The frame was eaten away by a welder (= the moment) ;) from the looks they've tried to weld on the footpegs, and the bolts and the engine mounts and anything else that was within arcing range but I think they had a zillion amps happening as it's blown bits out everywhere and the wire was all that was holding it all together. Great stuff that fencing wire :D anyway no complaints at all, if you had another I'd buy that too ;D

I'll post up another picture tomorrow as the bikes in the process of a colour change ::) I did promise I'd build a bike for my ex's little girl and I asked what colour she'd like and she said.........

Liverpool bike wreckers had a TC125 flange carb for sale on Fleebay, rough looking and pricey for appearance.
-
thanks Gnomester but yeah, LBW are expensive ;) I can't justify $77 for an old carb that's probably seen many many miles and has the wear and tear to go with it. For $50 more I have seen NOS carbs in Thailand but I was just after a cheapy. About $20 or $30 is my idea of cost for a used TS/TC/RV125 carb ;)
-
hey chris i have a lot of carbs but i would have to see what one looks like. ed
-
Cheers Ed, here is a picture of the TS/RL250 carb. The TS125 item is pretty much a scaled down version of the one pictured ;)
-
hey chris i have just got home i will have a look after work tomorrow for you ed
-
the one i got dont look like that it has a square thnbg on the top.
-
I have one but it is missing the slide,needle and screw top :-\
If its any good to you let me know.I have a weathered battery box,speedo bracket,front guard bracket for a TC90 along with that headlight with the flat bottom.
pm me with your shopping list Doc ;)
-
:D shopping list eh Gorby..jeez where to start! so many projects so little time ::)
the TS90 I'm now thinking I should try and go back to patina original. Not an over the top resto but tidy all the same so yup, battery box, headlight/tail light, speedo and chain guard are the main items as the 70 model never had blinkers to bother about. Thinking I should maybe try and hunt up a nos wiring harness as most by now have been hacked and chopped, if you have a goody though I'd glady accept that as well ;D
this time I 'insist' on payment ok, the yz plastics you sent were spot on btw, the little XR/YZ isn't far off being rideable ;)
CG that carb you have is probably from the '76 which is different. I think they are a push in type spigot mount which would require some work to fit. The square bit at the top is nothing to be overly concerned about and doesn't cause any problem except you need the right cable.

Doc i got your TS 100 seat , Ts 125 Carb, ithink i have the TS 250 mag cover and air box will email pics Bill
-
you're a bloody legend Bill! The TS100 seat is an item I'd figured would be really hard to find so a big thanks for that one! ;D Sully (Ray) has dropped in a couple of mag covers on Sunday but I'd need to do a cut and shut job to make something useable from the 2 so if you don't have the 250 mag cover no stress as I can make something from the pair of broken ones. I also have that old TM250 cover he you gave me but I'm now wanting to do a number on a '72 TS so the TM cover goes on the '76. I may sound greedy but I have at least 4 bikes using these engines and trying to find triple the amount of parts has been a struggle but with your lot I think I have them all covered so to speak ;D
Speaking of TS250A models, if anyone has a seat for a '76 TS250A Bill is in need of one and so am I ;) (I didn't know they were different to you mentioned it so Bill get first dibs on anything that crops up :P) thanks
