Hello,
Managed to get my 10 year old sons 1975 XR75 running on the weekend. It was bought a year ago as a non runner and had been sitting unused for 2 or 3 years.
Cleaned out the tank and carb, new plug and points, fresh oil, adjust valve clearances and started third kick. Compression seems O.K but I don't have a compression tester.
The bike is rideable but splutters under accelaration.
Problem is there is a lot of pressure when you remove the oil dip-stick - lots of wind and oil mist wanting to escape.
The son and I have enjoyed getting it this far - any ideas greatly appreciated.
Regards, Ron and Fin
