Part one is here, https://youtu.be/eHLKIEGALvk I picked up this 1975 honda tl 250 that sat in a barn for a long time, it has lots of issues. one of them the fact that the engine is stuck, lets see what it will take to bring it back to life. this is a two part video as it took a while.
When I was 15 I bought a Honda sl 100 the kick start was bent and striped out. I got a Chilton manual and split the case to replace the kick shaft and got the to see the inner workings of the transmission and the crank. I bought the gasket kit and put it all back together and rode it around for about two years till I got my first car a 1968 ford fairlane convertible big piece of junk but i kept it going for 3 yrs till i got my next car 1968 firebird convertible hurst 4 speed 350 i really loved that car good times.
Thanks so much for this series of videos. Working on the same bike now.
Great video, love your giggles whenever you get any engine to fire up again.
Love your videos! Excellent. Thank you.
that was awesome when you mocked the do-gooders….bite me
finger tight on a plug is just fine….. just like no exhaust…. that's fine too….
Comeon man…. it's time to buy some reliable good tools you got the money you've been messing with those stinking non-working compression testers for a while
Nice work Sir. I just learned the basic steps to get my SL100 running again.
You and James C use those wire brushes Mustie 😊, great job.
Nice troubleshooting 😊
Happy New year mustie! I'm picking up a basket case bike like this tomorrow morning for $50 lol
Mustie, why do you talk to the camera like someone is there and why do you laugh at just about everything you are doing?
Pika pika cool 😎 😎
You’re amazing! Just awesome watching you bring back machines from WAY past dead! Thanks for the fun ðŸ‘
That's gotta be the worse most disgusting carb Herr Doktor Professor Mustie1 has ever taken apart or that I myself have ever worked on myself.
If anyone could ressurrect it it's him.
I was so estatic when the preceding episode poped up in my feed after 4 years since it posted.
I thought it impossible that I'd actually missed one of Darren's episodes.
Now, as Paul Harvey used to say in his weekday radio shows.
"Niw for the rest of the story" on this little trail bike.
Absolutely no doubt that Mustie1 is gonna get it purring like a kitten.
love the video.
Got a beat up Honda cm200 trying to get going.
One of the projects I have sitting in the shed that one day I will be working on is a 1996 xr600R it laid in my friends yard for a few years till I rescued it. I learned so much from this video just in a different approach to repair than buying parts first. Loved it
Never seen a carb that crusty!
Master of the carburettor ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»
That old honda takes me back these where the kinda bikes i used to find in the mid 80s in sheds and on scrappers trucks they usualy needed a fair bit of tinkering and most of the time they ran quite well after i had lots of honda tys and old greeves and a few baltacos i loved it back then and spent most of my time over the local trails and feilds rideing my frankenstein trails bikes in my teens .
Great vid and kontent mate
🤘
Most comprehensive detailed demonstration of reviving a seized engine I've come across. . Great job watching from Philippines.
Full throttle for a compression test .
the one part you left out is for the idleing and low speed
You forgot to put the tiny, 1 inch long metering valve back in, it screws inside , beside the long piece you pushed out with your punch! You must be a lot more tender with the parts inside the float bowl!
now you have the carb apart, remove the tiny metering valve about an inch long and soak it in carb & choke cleaner for about an hour! I have 2 1974 hondas, a 500-4 and a 750-4 cylinders and its a must to make sure these tiny metering valves are super clean, take a small glass jar and fill it most of the way full, I use small garlic jars that I get at the grocery store with chopped garlic in them, a sonic cleaner doesn't work too well on the ting metering valves that you unscrewed from the base of the carb!
Really happy you decided to stick with that carburettor, after all I can't be the only one that gets them that bad and still gets them working. Awesome
Man i really enjoy your videos just wanted to thank you ab from kuwait
some of the low compression problem could be the carb slider was stuck down and restricting air inlet. I always open throttle and choke all the way or remove carb to 4un compression test.
thanks for the videos.
Way to go .. was hoping to see this one run… perhaps next video
