Tech Talk / yamaha mx 250 running backwards

« on: January 23, 2014, 11:17:07 PM »

Hi guys,recently bought a 73' yamaha mx250 ,at first it started easily but the other day i found it hard to start.Kicking back badly at end of stroke it finally fired up and as i let out the clutch it took off backwards then stalled.I kicked it straight away and it then run correct direction,it then run out of fuel and i could not restart after refuel. Checked spark ,is a bit weak i also noticed cdi unit is leaking resin over swingarm,i have a spare one came with bike but it too has lost its resin .Has anyone experienced either of these 2 problems? and i did check stator plate seems all tight in there,any help appreciated.

Introductions / Hi there from an old brissy bloke

« on: January 09, 2014, 11:15:00 PM »

Must be about time i introduced myself ,as i have been a silent member for some time,i hope to get into some vintage racing this year 2014.I have a restored yam yz490 j and an unrestored yz 125 j ,but ideally would like to find a pre 75 or pre 78 model 250 ,maybe an mx or yz .As yet i havn't joined a club yet ,but i was thinking probably qvmx as my 2 x bikes are 82 models. I would say i will be a bit rusty on the track as my last race day was in 1977 at Albert district club at the newly constructed Stanmore park track.Hope to get out there and meet some fellow racers and restorers soon ,cheers.
