The Swamp Donkey
I did some sanding and found the numbers on the frames. They are the same as on the engines. 367-609014 on one bike and 367-662213 on the other. I spoke to someone who knows the PO should have more info soon.

The Swamp Donkey
Thanks, Sacha for the pdf. It says 367 on both engines (there are two bikes). I haven't found a number on either frame yet, will look more closely. PDF says 1973 GTIMX (A) or GTIMX (. I don't see anything stamped on the steering head. Both frames are coated in thick black paint. Now to find parts...

The Swamp Donkey
Hello, All. Got an old Yamaha here. It'll run for a minute or two with the fuel lines hooked up. The oiler is missing, and there are a pair of what look like vaccuum ports not connected. It has parts from a different bike. The muffler is stamped KS-250M not sure if its the correct muffler. The fuel shut-off valve is broken. The frame and some other parts have been sprayed with liquid metal. It's an awful mess. There is a second which looks the same but has some subtle differences, the second bike is missing the back wheel and some other parts as well but does have an oiler. I have a younger fella here who really really wants the bike. He'll be doing most of the work to fix it but doesn't have internet. First question is... what is it? Hard to find parts with no year and not sure about the model number. Chris

Hello from BC
Well hello then. My name is Chris. I drive cab for a small cab company in rural British Columbia. Four cars, two mini buses and a very nice shop which is cluttered up with far too many projects. To date I have rebuilt only one engine this small -- an ancient Briggs & Stratton 2kw generator. I have a bad habit of repairing old junk and then giving it away as gifts or donations to the local church. Mostly computers, cars, and the odd Cooey. For vehicles I prefer diesel. Fav engine is the Mercedes OM617 5cyl turbo diesel. I am too tall and too old for this little bush bomb, but it sure does look like fun. Model KS-250M. Guess I'll have to start a build thread...

Hello from BC
So I helped a buddy pick up what looks like a GT-80 from the mid 1970s. Fuel line was connected to the wrong inlet on the carb. Looks like a pair of disconnected vaccuum tits on the carb. It'll run for a minute or two then quits. Needs everything & has been butchered. Worth a rebuild? I'd post photos but the site won't let me.
