    Is a '81 YT 125 worth fixing up?

    I got one for free and it runs, jsut not very well..just wondered if it was woth fixing?

    It runs, but not very well. I gotta take the plug out and pour a little gas into teh head and it fires right up every time, but itll run for a moment or two then die..it continues like this till it gets hot and then runs ok, but not 100%, its sluggish in any gear but 1.

    I thinks its probably the carb...since its kinda ugly looking...

    Anyone have any ideas?

    i love my 125

    my 125 is the most used trike I own. Everyone loves it. It is gutless, but im thinking a 175 top end would fit on it?? then it might be even more fun!

    I have some nice Yam 125 parts and some Yam 175 now. If you need some parts let me know. The Yam 175 motor is barely there. No top end at all.
