1984 Gyro with a problem. Trying to eliminate me as the potential problem. I don't have a manual for the Gyro but am using the 1984 Spree manual as a guide realizing it may not be exactly the same but probably a lot of commonality.

Sorry to hear of the suffering of both. Nice to hear the neighbors cared and tried to help. I am always amazed at watching the neighborhood children fall off their bikes on the asphalt, look stunned, look at their scraped hands and knees, get right back up and keep going.

Have read many of the tech articles on the board downloaded a 1985 Spree manual since I figured the motor parts were probably similiar. Got enough of the details I needed in order be comfo...

Just finished a 1979 Yamaha QT 50 rebuild and last week bought a 1984 Gyro, a spare frame, about 75% of the parts for the second frame and loads of body plastic from other Gyros. Been reading this forum for a while and was able to rebuild the Gyro starter and get it cleaned up, pulled the head, whee...
