I had lots of small 2 stroke bikes back in the 1960s that I worked on myself.

Now at 65 and nearing retirement a friend gave me his old MR175.

I am excited about finding this forum where I can get a little help with it.

Will take it down completely and redo it.

Bill,

The MR175's are lightweight, easy-to-ride trailbikes with fairly mellow motors and good handling characteristics. If you can get yours up and running, I think you'll really like it - and there's plenty of additional power in the motor if you're so inclined.

Thanks Ray

I am sure I will have some questions for you when I get time to take it all apart.
