1974 Honda MR50

This was a fun project, Honda Elsinore mini-bike. My client on this one had this bike in his family since new. As a kid he and his cousins would ride it all over the place, it was always ridden hard and put up wet, haha! It was in need of a new top-end as the rings were worn out and the cylinder was scored up. The Kawasaki green fenders were NOT what Mr. Honda had in mind :)

I went ahead and cleaned up the bottom end too since it was leaking oil and the drain plug was stripped, overall things looked pretty good in here. The gears were all clean and the shift links were tight. I replaced all the o-rings and case gaskets.

The jug was bored 1.5mm over with a matching piston and ring set. New head and base gaskets.

Clean and set the point gap, check the timing and its off to the races!!
