Hello from Ireland

[Rocket Ron]

Hi Guys
Bought meself a YR5 after hankering after an old 2 stroke for a good few years & thought I’d be mad not to join with all the information & knowledge availabile here. It’s pretty original but running rough due to running very rich. I’m an Englishman from Kent living in the midlands of Ireland and my username is a nickname given to me by my school fiends in the early ‘80’s after Ron Haslam when I started going to school on a Puch Maxi!
Cheers.

Welcome Ron
Your 350 is part of the roots of the RD's. So lots of help will be available 
Looks good. Can you post a few more pictures so we can see more of the similarities. Myself, I have never seen one before.
Is yours a USA import!

PS similar tale of handle. Greaser was school nickname that wasn't complimentary

Hello Ron and welcome, You are correct, the knowledge and know how is outstanding on here, I don't think many problems or issues could not be sorted by someone on here. I too have been doing a YR5 350 and have been sorted out with a few parts from members along with their advice, it's priceless. I ' adding a picture of mine.

Mine was "hot rod" given to me by a previous girlfriend and it had nothing to do with bikes of cars!!!

Hi

Welcome. Re running rich have you checked the float levels and the seal on the end of the choke plunger?

Best regards

[Rocket Ron]

Not yet Esmeralda but intended to check the float heights, thanks for the pointer towards the choke seals. The previous owner seemed mechanically inept by the looks of it so making a list of what’s required as I go. Have to finish & sell my 900 Diversion project 1st to make space & generate funds 😁
