a fellow subscriber contacted me about this fold up engine powered scooter that was sitting in a garage for over 40 years, he got it when buying a 2 wheel tractor, the owner was cleaning out and offered it to him, he in turn offered it to us to see if we can bring it back to life. lets see how it goes and why it was put away in the 1st place.
Its so nice to hear an American/Canadian pronounce the word CENTRIFUGAL properly
SO unlike anything I've ever seen…what a find (so interesting). You should start your own "Smithsonian"!
I really wish you would make a new video of this. I know you did a part two but I want to see more.
Who are the 522 people to give this video Thumb's Down, I would like to see what you think is a good video.
You gon get more money involved in that then it is worth brand new
Everything on it is rotten no good
I am very surprised of you for having such junk in your shop
Yeah you can read them real good them instructions
Whoever heard of such thing that is so petty
Back tire out of round.
Say Darren did ya'll see the fat wheeled scooter with the guy riding shirtless in shorts on Tic Toc have the front wheel fall off and he doing a face plant on the asphalt?
The number of air cooled engines I cleaned mouse debris from is like literally everyone I ever worked on. Even the engines that do not have mouse debris still have air stopping debris that has to be cleaned out. This is the most important thing for an air cooled engine, PERIOD !!!!
I like this engine since it has the special alternator built right in the flywheel with two small coils right next to the ignition coil. The Clinton engines are just bullet proof, rich oil mix, clean air filter, straight dinosaure gas and you are ready to ROLL.
This can be seen in "Assassin of Youth" the anti marijuana movie /PSA. The town gossip can be seen riding thru town on it shouting the latest gossip..
Dude I had one of these back in the early 80s! It would only go about 20 mph but it sure beat walking. After awhile the cops kept giving me a hard time for riding it, but it had open exhaust so it could of been neighbors complaining too. Great video, brought back a good memory! Thanks
Hi Justine I'm a mechanic I'm not a smart ars just very observant I'm just over half hour in and I've noticed you said 7 o'clock yet when you were setting up the points the love was at more like 5 o'clock I hope you figure it out by the end of the vid I'll keep watching😊

Well you are officially my hero on this project I couldn't believe you got it up and running but the crowning glory was when u bunnies corded the fuel tank to the rear wheel of your truck with nuts in it to break up the rust.. friggin genius 😅 thanks for the giggle
Hi Mustie any chances of telling us how you got the clutch freed up. I have the same problem with my Suitcase bike. Really appreciated here back. Thanks John
Love the CVT and spring-loaded pulley mechanic of this thing. The CVT confused me at first as it had no counterpart, until you showed how the pulley moves haha
We used to use cover for matches to set points
Clinton engines with Just Junk
And when your all done, you need to turn the starter rope so its pointing up, not to the rear!
on your scooter, the metal cover over the points, the metal tang sticking out, is the points gap setting guage tool!
It's on Google for sure. I looked it up
Just wanted to know have you fixed it up can't find follow up on it
Used motor oil is a great de-seize for small engines
IF you check American motors scooter Cop. There is all the information an the center
Have you ever thought about finding someone to restore some of these old vintage finds you always coming across?
There ought to be someone local that you could partner with that could bring these machines back to almost new after you get them running again.
I think so many of the rare forgotten things you guys find should be restored and put into a museum.
Amator.
That was one of the coolest wildest things I have ever seen the suitcase scooter and you got the thing working after 40 years. ðŸ‘
the lever is for retracting the wheel up into the frame when the scooter is folded, so it sits flat on the ground.
This is a 1960's Centaur FS-2 folding motor scooter by American Motor Scooter Corporation I remember my uncle buying 1 for my cousin in the mid 60's I did ride it they were cool at the time.
Wow! I have never seen one of these. And first time I have ever seen a removable cam lobe! What an idea! Thanks for sharing! Great channel.
I love watching you bring things back to life i love that you explain everything makes me feel like i can do this
The "square" rear tire might be an issue. Ha Ha
😂 A carry-on luggage ad popped up while watching this one. Too funny.
🤣ðŸ‘
It's amazing how a little maintenance it takes to get old machines working again .. Try this on fuel injected computerized machines in 50 years time..
Mustie1 is a legend , his laugh is contagious specially when the old rusty motor comes back to life 😂 i love this channel 👌👌
Maquoketa, Iowa….Home of the Clinton Engine Museum !!!
Love your videos but like more those Siamese's and Vietnamese's Videos.. they do a little bit more Cleaning Ups & Restorative Works etc.
couldn't imagine seeing that in an airport LOL You the Man Mustie
Yeah what you would watch you to fix
