1. Get a parts book and factory manual, both online.

2. That bike brings back memories for me when I was about 10 in 1986 I had one of these to ride up the track next to out house. My dad bought it for scrap money £1 😮 and he had to pay £10 for a rear wheel, but it had a valuable number plate on it my dad sold that for £200 and then got the bike back for me. Unfortunately in the 90s my dad and brother were clearing out a shed cut it up and scraped it 😢 I’m still quite sad that happened. But I have grown a collection of small bikes and mopeds, which I feature on my channel, I have got my eye on a Honda C70 to add to my collection. Thanks Mustie you have inspired me to take my YouTube channel to more like yours I love most of the stuff you work on especially the small bikes 🙂👍

3. I have an old honda 110 atc motor sitting around that i dont know what to do with.

4. I’m sure there are others who have commented out of the 447 comments, but I chuckled at the bag…”PLEASE SEND HELP”….most appropriate looking at that pile of pieces and parts!!🤣

5. If you have this take the studs out of the head and twist it well come off.

6. Did you ever find parts or do anything more with this one?

7. I had one of these Hondas years ago. There is no actual hand clutch cable. The clutch is disengaged when you shift the foot/gear lever.

8. Do you still have one of these? I just got one and im desperately trying to take apart the engine! Do you have to remove the studs inbetween the cylinder and the head? The piston and cylinder are rusty crusty.

9. First study how a honda engyne work man……..

10. Ya start working on a puzzle and find out half way thru somebody lost some of the pieces. Ya know ya just get a little !!!!

11. Honda 50 is a 3-speed 'clutchless' bike! Let go of gas and shift gear, there is no clutch lever.

12. If I could hold it for I would. One problem, Your ocean is on the wrong side. LoL

13. My brother had one of these without the white knee skinny skirts maybe it was a 55cc I was too little a couple years later my dad and uncle bought 2 Honda 90’s . I wanna see the rest of this project ! Musti C

14. Was there ever a follow up to this?

15. You shift the transmission, but the clutch is an automatic unit thus no lever on clutch side. The Honda 50 way a "Gate Way Drug"
    sent from Mr. Honda & the Japanese people to California for $215.00 F.O.B. What did you do with the finished product?

16. Measure the cylinder, maybe a Honda 65 piston will go in there? Love the vid.

17. I love the questions like ' see anything missing?' , when you are looking a jumbled up jig saw puzzle of engine parts. How does this guy do these rebuilds? He could fix anything I believe. Just amazing.

18. Eighteen months later and I can't find any follow-up to this video anywhere. What's up with it? One of those Someday Projects?

19. Old Honda C100 eh had a blue one myself when I was about 11 great little bike, sat here and watched you pull the the crankcase/gearbox out of the box and then empty all of the parts around it and then proceed to trial fit everything for rebuild an all the time I'm thinking … somebody else stripped this motor … why did they go as far as to start stripping the entire engine if it was only the piston that was seized in the bore. Knowing these bikes as well as I do it got me to wondering if the gearbox is damaged as well as it having the top end issues as a lot of kids got their hands on these bikes over the years and used and abused them on the fields.

    Being one of those kids at one time and having done the same thing it's easy to understand how overzealous lead feet banging away on the twin gear lever for a few weeks or months AND letting their mates ride it would soon see off an otherwise good working box. Haven't watched the entire video yet so I'm hoping I'm going to see you completely strip it and examine everything before rebuilding it with all its new goodies. It would be a real downer if you were to rebuild it without thoroughly checking everything over and then find out the box is shot and have to tear it down again.

    Ps, not a good idea to slip pry bars behind the barrell then proceed to ram them hard down into the casings (immediate cringe mode) alloy cases tend to crack or break when you do something like that. For future reference when unseizing a stuck piston on a small motor such as this get a couple of litres of Coca Cola pour it into a sufficiently sized container then upend the motor in it immersing the barrel and piston. Leave it for a two or three days then lie the motor flat get three or four wooden wedges and drift them down the back of the barrel two from the top and either one or two from underneath tapping them home evenly which should then begin to separate barrel from piston.

20. Did you say “make it run like a raped date” at the end there????🤭. OMG…there goes your PG rating…😱

22. That C100 is not a '62 most likely a '65. Not that it makes much differences as improvements through the years are minor.

23. The Lil Hondas were virtually indestructible I can remember being a kid and so wanting the Yamaha FS1E before they governed them. A 50cc moped that went as fast as a 100cc machine. And for the ultimate fast little motorcycle the Yamaha LC 250 and 350, these should never have hit the market in them days they were top spec racers.

24. wish YouTube would run these posts in sync

25. I meant to add "do you ever use a manual"? They're out there, for most of your projects. For that matter, much of this is on the same web you're on. Ah, but that would spoil the fun, wouldn't it?

26. I had one of these a hundred years ago. I went through second gears like some guys go through girlfriends. And it always amazed me that I had a small pile of "extra parts" when I was done. I'd need some of those the NEXT time I tore it down. I guess I gave myself job security!

27. LOL "Honda jigsaw puzzle".

28. I feel kind of bad. I thought I wish I had your knowledge but now I see that you weren’t born with this knowledge and it takes some brain power to figure things out. I still have hope

29. your tools are simple but exelent.

30. I bought one new in the 60s. Though fun to see how they worked, they were quite clunky bikes I thought. Honda's overhead cam engines and their transmissions at the time or soon following were so much better and smoother. EG CL70, CT50.

31. Have you een able to make ny progress on this bike? It would be awesome to see it finished.

32. I doubt it is 92 degrees, couse that would be only 8 degrees from boiling point of water (had to say it :D)

33. Was the bag a subliminal message lol

34. I started watching you videos a few weeks ago and really enjoying them. I just watched this 1962 cub 50 video and it looks like there is not a follow up or conclusion video. Is it in the future or is the bike gone?

35. WARNING….. Warning….. This is a "this guy/that guy" video!!! You HAVE been warned!!! 😵

    Bwaaahahahaa….. 😝

    Skiddin', Mustie… You're. My hero!! 👍

36. I like for motor cycle a bottle brush hone.

37. Mustie, we need an update on this! Really want to see that thrashed engine run again!

38. I’m addicted to your patience

39. So what happened with the spare parts and rebuild? The suspense is killing me!

40. It looks like someone for some reason melted the cylinder with a blow torch
