So needed some parts so picked this up for cheap. Interested in the exhaust for the XT250..engine cover for the XL185. Non runner but still got nice clocks and most things seem to be there..so will probably be a future project.

So thought I wud see if the 125 wud start..as it is getting spark. So new plug in there (plug hole was just left open which explains all the water in there)..cleaned carb..plenty gunk in there.

Drained oil and put new. (plenty water came out). But no joy..so guess it has no compression.

Yep..I did squirt quite bit of oil in there and kicked it over plenty times to lubricate things. Also tried quickstart into carb intake.

So decided to get bit stuck in and see if I can get this bike going. Bought this bike to use as a learning curve to repair a 4stroke engine. Engine out today. Hopefully talking set of rings and a hone. Will flush with some diesel for water ingress.

Any opinions on how the parts are looking? To my inexperienced eye piston and rings actually look ok but bad pitting in the cylinder towards the top (result of water entry I would think).

Looks ok from the photos, if the pitting is only at the very top 1/4 of the bore then it should be ok, it's only if there is wear or pits below or at the rings you need to worry even then it usually can be alright as long as they are along the bore and not across it. Nice little project Mc.

Test the valves for seating, pour some fuel in upturned head, should hold tight,,,
