    hi i to am restoring a yb100 (1983) it had been stood god kno's how long but iv spent the last few weeks tinkering and expeimenting i striped the entire bike and dipped every part into into diesel and cleaned every nut with a rag hard time consumeing but hell it looks great, BUT it sounds like its running on choke even with choke in and there is a lot of clonking. iv just brought myself some replacement crome parts, when i put it all back together ill drop a pic on for your thoughts.
