Thanks for the quick response.

Sounds like a piston deal. Has happened to me often, with the same reaction. Pull your exhaust off and check out the rings. After it cools down you should be able to try kick start it. Normally it’ll run for about 3 seconds and then die or you can kick it forever and nothing will happen. Sorry to he...

Working on a new exhaust system

Thanks guys

Has anyone removed the oil injection pump on a 250sl to let in run premixed?
Do or would I have to take any precautions within doing it? I am just hoping for answers that would help me prevent doing something wrong or at least making a mistake.
Thanks

Thanks, according to the authorities here it’s the only one registered in Germany ever. The inspector enjoyed test driving it.

So , it went through the German traffic safety control inspection(TÜV). It passed and is now registered to be legally driven on the German Autobahn.

Nice, keep us posted

Keep yourhead up. It’ll work out if you keep focused. They’re old bikes that we just love to work on. Anyone can go out and buy a Honda and co.. But only real fans can rebuild and drive a Hodaka.

It’s running a little rich to protect the piston at first.

Thx will do

Thanks everyone, bigger and heavier, I can relate to that.
One thing that I’m still wanting to replace are the grips.If anyone has any let me know.

Just dropped it off to my local Harley and Royal Enfield Dealer to take it through the inspection.

Thats for the compliments, will let y’all know the outcome.

The mixture was real rich to protect it at first. Sorry video won’t work.
