Hey guys....so this one popped up on CL for $75 and after some research I discovered that (from my understanding) it has the same engine as the cb/cl 175 with the exception of the cases. Internally they are "quote" "identical."
Got it from an old lady who had like 3 little Trail 50's and 90's sitting in her garage/shop.
She had an awesome little setup and I could tell the trails were probably the one thing keeping her sane lol. Very nice person though.
She gave me a box of parts, helped me load it into the trailer and sent me on my way.
After tinkering with it a bit I discovered that when I kick it over there does appear to be some compression, seeing as how air pumps out of the crankcase breather or decompression valve, whatever it is. Same thing as on the XS engine right above and between the intake ports
However... when I watch the vavles I see no movement....
I hear the engines on these little guys are bulletproof and extremely reliable so my plan is to do a little cafe racer build with a hot cam, performance valves and springs and new carbs...assuming I can find the parts.
Anyway, you think it was worth the $75? ha
