Yamaha 50cc help/manual needed
« on: November 19, 2010, 04:41:33 pm »
Does anyone have a workshop manual or know where i can download one for one of these things? Preferably need it by Monday.

I believe its a 66 or 67 Yamaha 50cc U5 which i know nothing about.

It has an automatic clutch which is slipping big time and i need to know how/where to adjust it. Do you have to take the right side engine cover off? Any help is apprieciated

Is it the same type of motor as  GT/MX 80 ???
Or JT-1 ?

Thanks

Its a rotary valve engine like the JT60 not like GT/MX80.
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Ok that helps a little. Every thing i can find only shows manual clutch though. Hard to find anything with auto clutch.

Well i took the cluch cover off today, cleaned the friction plates, bead blasted the steels and put it back together with fresh oil and now the clutch and gears work properly but the damn thing misses pretty badly. The plug is a B8HS which is a new one the owner put in but i have no idea if thats the right one for it. Ive been right through the carby the otherday as it was full of crap and fitted a new main jet but couldnt get the short mikuni hex and had to go with the long hex but i dont think thats a problem. What sort of points gap should this have? i was thinking 0.30-0.40mm as thats what some specs for some later 50cc yams said.

By the way the barrell says U5 on it so its definitely that model.
