Irish Mike Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Hi everyone I'm new to this site... I am about to come into a 1966 YDS3 250 that a friends Grandfather has had since 66. It has been in ether the garage or a storage shed since 66 with what a tarp or cover over it. What would you guys suggest I do as far as getting it back on the road. I was told he road it for about a month back when he got it in 66 and then parked it. Oh and if you know of any places I could look for parts for it that would help 2. thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyres will be shot and need replacing. Fuel tank will need cleaning Battery will need replacing Crank seals will possibly need replacing Clutch will be stuck and need stripping and re-building Transmission oil change These are just things that spring to mind A picture would be nice (see FAQ's) ...Paul T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
