I don't restore. I refurbish. I have 8 running, refurbished enduros and have found it to be a great stress reliever. I will definitely need to tap your brains when I go thru the engines. Rotary vales are new to me. Can't wait to get these two on the lift and get started.

Whats that faint smell coming from the pictures? Is it "It was a bargain" smell?
See the rotaries, well i don't know about Yamahas but certainly on Rotax twin racing engine ,are a piece of cake to work on.
Bonus is they're running. Will they rev?
If so then the fibre plates that attach to the rotor are still in one piece, usually they drop to bits when left covered in fuel for years.
Great to see these things,nice buy.
Regards Ted.

I often am working on two or three at a time, mostly because there is only so much I can do when it's too cold in my unheated garage to work, and I'm inside in the family room with a false top if 1/4" plywood on the mission style coffee table...

I didn't mean for my "perfectionist" comment to sound snippy. It's just that most of the work I see on this forum is simply stunning, to the point where I don't think I would ride my bikes if they turned out that perfect.
If I didn't have my heated garage, and my wife didn't have her fancy sewing room, I'm not sure which one of us would survive to tell about it.
