[QUOTE="Dirtdame, post: 1413704, member: 119586"] Finally! After more than two months of rebuilding things on this project, I got the bike completed this afternoon. The bad part was finding a carb for it and the needle jet. I ended up with a carb off of a 1985 KX125, and then had to buy a needle jet for a different series Mikuni and modify the air dam on it to work with my carb. :think: After installing all the proper jetting into the KX carb, I popped it onto the bike and fired it up. It just purred. I ran it through the gears a few times and tweaked the idle. The major hurdles have been overcome. There are still some things that it needs, but I now have a fun little reliable runner with a bit of personality. :cool: The "before" picture when Fentley was known as Fugly....a neglected pile of green dooky that I had just brought home (with a hole in the gas tank).

Renthal bars and new grips R and R engine; fresh main bearings, seals, rod rebuild, hone barrel, Pro X piston assembly, fresh reeds R and R shock absorber; new shaft bumper, sealhead Switch out carb and jetting, new air filter, better air boot New brake shoes and wheel bearings int he rear wheel assembly Paint bits of the frame, shifter, brake pedal, straighten and paint foot pegs. Add hand guards Replace seat cover Sand blast and repaint exhaust system Things left to do: R and R steering stem bearings (but they aren't too bad right now) R and R fork seals (they'll probably blow in about three rides) Drill out fork damper assemblies for a better ride R and R front wheel bearings Change tires and tubes (they're sort of hard, but not cracked and have a decent amount of tread left) [/QUOTE]
