I love how you continue to kick the engine even though there is no chance of it firing without fuel. Wtf? Good to see you also push electric starters to their edge in similar situations.
If I remember rightly back in the 70s in the U.K. this bike was called Honda Dax 70.
Can’t believe I watched this entire thing, Next
I’m so hooked on your channel. You have the dream work shop and the skills to put your tools to good use!
I had ct70 as teenager. I sold my 10 speed and painted my aunts house to get. It was beat to hell but I used what I had to keep it going. It was literally my freedom. Living in the hills of western Massachusetts, I would cross a mountain to get to where my friends were. They had bikes and mini bike as well.
Now I am 65 years old and go for my wonderful Honda Helix! You may have seen it in the judging barn at Rice-o-Rama. One year it won second place in its class. (250cc)
Anywho, it would be great to see you get a hold of one for your video project. The Honda Helix had a 21 year run and are readily available. The Helix became very popular with old timers who had difficulty mounting their motorcycles. The step through frame enabled them to continue riding in lieu of the rocking chair.
Anyway, your channel is great!
Thanks, please keep it going!
Great video! – I'm working a '74 Trail 70 in a similar condition (looks just like the one in your shop there for parts) – can't get the seat to flip up to access battery/gas tank, the lever isn't working to release it – any suggestions?
Watching NOW!
Miss the 50, 70, 90 and 110. And we still survived. And no helmet. And yet kids have warning labels not to eat things. Even Tide Pods. ?
Hey this was Honda was built in my home town!!!!!!
The pullers are $15.
2 hammers solve all flywheel issues,lol
I had a orange one
i had one and learned to ride while sitting backwards on it, and in the end the frame started to crack in half because i jumped 6 foot throught the air with it
and the shocks couldn't handle that, so the frame got all the beating. Anyway, i got it for free and had alot of fun with it.
An impact driver does wonders..
Man. I’ll never ever ever ever forget the sound one of those makes when you kick it over without a spark plug in it!! It’s unmistakable!!! When you first spun it over by hand it brought me right back to my childhood. Thanks ðŸ™
Hello sir.. do you also have a sandblaster or cabinet? Like to see you cleanup parts that way so satisfiying to me
I dnt get why all the vids I watch people keep trying to kick it over .u got the drill set up use it to warm the pistons
Around here we call Milwakee millJunkie
The bent handlebar look like mine after it almost went through my chest back in the day, ouch!
Another good one.
I like watching your videos and I was just wondering if you would like to sell a bike
We Brits🇬🇧 call the directional, indicators to indicate the direction we are turning. No difference really just you Americans 🇺🇸being different.
i had one for 20 yrs
Always wanted a Trail 70 growing up.* But all I ever got was "motorcycles are too dangerous".
*… and judging by the silly prices these days, I ain't the only one.
After watching the small engine repair vids, every time I get my lawnmower or snowblower to start I hear Mustie1’s laugh and chuckle to myself. 😀😀
After watching Mustie1’s vids on snowblower, lawnmower and now this Honda one, every time I get an engine to start I hear his laugh. 😀😀
I bought one of these in 1977. It was a 1970 CT70H. Great little machines that where sophisticated overhead cam compared to the Briggs powered minibikes. Currently restoring a 1970 CT70H. Me and you must be similar age group to me. Surprised you never had one of these until now.
