Gottem home today. The yamaha kicks over with the kick start (spark plug out), but the honda wont.    I dont know if thats because I cant find neutral or the piston is stuck. I shot some Marvel mystery oil penetrate into the chamber and letting it set.

The yamaha looks likes its not gonna take much at all the to get her going.   The only thing is, I guess the carb is in the frame or something cause its not sticking out like the honda''''s is. Gotta let the honda''''s carb soak for a couple days.

They both need a bath and they''''re gonna get one.

The Honda is a 4 stroke 72cc with 6 volt eletrical and the Yammy is 2 stroke with an oil feeder (very cool). Not sure on the electrical.   Still dont see a name for the yammy or engine size.

More pics soon.

I think the Yammy is a 1960''''''''s YG1, I''''''''m guessing. Damn. I was hoping WWII time.

It has a rotary disk valve engine. The carb is actually behind the engine cover. Say its a reliable engine.

A bunch of gixxer guys hang out at a burger king here, it would be hilarious to roll through the lot on one of them.

Sweet find, jealousy is setting in.
