Just bought a TS 125/150

[Scunnychris75]

Hi all, I've just bought a 1980 TS 125 with 150 head and piston, it's been stood for a couple of years and needs a little work.
Just wondering what I should keep an eye out for problems wise.
Also could anyone recommend me a good two stroke oil and the correct ratio for pre mixing.
Can't wait to get the little beast on the road.

Morrisons super market for two stroke oil..its the cheapest £2,00 500ml mzs dont need £25 per ltr strawberry scented fully synthetic .my etz runs just fine on it ...This information is useless if you live in Mongolia,,,,,,,,,,Vicar

Cheers for that, It's been a while since I've had a two stroke.

Mixing ratio is 50:1 on a 1980 bike as it has a roller small end bearing.

Things to look out for:
Crank seals gone hard (can be changed without splitting the crank cases).
Rust inside the tank (blocks the tap and the carb)
Bad earths (fit new thick earth wires between the headlight shell, engine and tail light to the battery earth point).

Sort those things and they just want to run and run.

Thanks for that, I'll be checking the seal soon, already cleaned the fuel tap
