Hi Newbie wanting a TY80 engine

[Albie]

Hi guys   I am new on here and doing a project for my grandson with some leftover parts from a GT80 project. I am looking for a TY80 engine and carb possibly. I have a DT50 engine but do really want to make it what it should be. My alternative which I am reluctant to do is nick the engine from the GT80 and put that in. That motor though has a bigger carb and a YZ80 barrel. I would really need another barrel to accept the correct threaded exhaust. I don't mind a project but prefer in UK or Europe. I have seen one in USA that needs help but £200 almost postage.

Thanks

Albie

I have an update of my requests. I no longer need a 80cc engine. Today I managed to get the GT80 running with the kickstart and put that away to concentrate on the TY80. Up until then I was hunting the web looking for ways to save money but still have the TY as she should be. I then looked at the GT80 frame number and the engine and non matching. To me that's all I needed to say take that out and into the TY. The TY is a more valuable bike and deserving of the engine. The other DT50 engine will be having a 60cc barrel etc and go into the GT80 but be a GT60. Tonight I got hold of another TY80 barrel with the correct exhaust mount  and so the expansion pipe and YZ80 barrel will be sold on. I also got a manifold and reed valve too so looking for a stock ty80 carb if anyone has one to part with. The other carb is huge 22mm .

Things are looking more positive just the long waits from USA.

Currently waiting on from USA
