I really enjoy your videos
nice bike
Nice bike Mustie, would make a great restoration project 😊
should have brazed that muffler
Put an S hook on the drawer and hang the chain on the S hook.
Do you ever soak the chain in kerosene first, before soaking it in oil?
There is no one on YouTube who can hold a candle to Mustie.ðŸðŸš”🛥🔧🔩
A trick I do to get back a little from an old drum brake is to wrap the round pivot stud with some sheet metal. Typically I cut a slice of an old tin can and wrap to fit around the pin. Has the net effect to move the contact a little further away from the pivot lever.
I took my motorcycle test on a 350 honda…. good memories
You can use a plumbers moleskin to wipe those seals on the floats, may keep them light….
I haven't counted lately but my wife tells me I've got fourteen motorcycles in the garage. All I know is I've been dragging a bunch of bikes around for years waiting for the day when I could work on restoring them. I did manage to put a '71 engine in a '77 triumph bonneville frame last year along with new paint and tune up. I'm ready to see if it will run so I guess I should film it.
I Never knew how motor cycles brakes worked. Thanks for the education.
'Never us a screwdriver as a clamp!' LOL! I wondered why you had images of tools on the tool box instead of letters, until you mentioned dyslexia on another video. For some types of reading challenges, there are exercises to help with that. Really enjoy your videos, quite sense of humor, and I'm learning a lot. Keep up the great work!
I wish the swap meets/flea market had goodies like yours here…never find anything good or fairly priced
1971 is the year I came here. The old Honda is good in my book. Be Well, thanks for the movie.
I think you should get tested – – – – I believe you might be a genius. Never thought that muffler patch was gonna fit. Or perhaps I am the one who should get tested?
That lever part is called a barrel adjuster
Another enjoyable show!
dude.. spend the money and replace those parts that should be replaced. i.e. mufflers.. they are still available. if i hired this person to restore my bike, i would not accept this solution. i appreciate the vids, but please try not to half booty the project.
"Never use your screw driver as a pry bar" About the third time i have heard you say that and every time you do………….IT WORKS!!! I love it and laugh out loud every time you say it and it is always under your breath. I always use my screw driver as a pry bar and yes IT WORKS!! Thanks for bring life back to a great bike, Dr. Mustie.
Tidy muffler fix!
Slow progress, but very steady. 😀
I don't remember seeing you check the oil in this bike.. did you ever do that?
That final jet on the cardorator you pulled out is pressure fit. That isn't a spot for a screw head and are commonly damaged because they look like they screw out.
Nice Muffler fix.
What kind of liquid you used for soaking carby? Cheers
Appreciate your videis, keep cranking them out for us gear heads…
Nice project w/a Pro tweekin’! ðŸ‘
another trick to long arcing a weld is to crank up the voltage
Throwing an old, gunky chain into some gasoline literally melts all the goo off instantly. It'll be smooth like butter! THEN throw it into some ATF. I have a container with old gas that i use for cleaning stuff, works great.
Memories.. 🙂 My first bike I learned on was a 350 Honda cb My last bike was a Honda Gold wing 1800 🙂 Good memories thanks Darren
No chrome beats patina.
I LOVE your shop!
The funny thing for me is the foot pegs – I'd swear they're installed upside down. The ridges should be on the top to give you a little cushioning, and the outside edge should slope down and under the bile, so they don't scrape as easily. I've never seen someone install this way before. 😛
I got flash burns, from watching you weld. ha ha
where did you get all those parts man!!! LOL, talk about a treasure chest
Gotta 73 CL350 coming into the shop later for carbs etc. Already primed with Mustie1 vidz.
