Great find, good work. What are some areas you would recommend to dredge out there? Also how did you all stay warm, looks very cold. Thanks

Hi wife, please wear some real shoes next time. Hubby should have told you never to wear sandals.

You paid 500? For it? Or the guy gave you 500 tobtske it off thr property? Good luck . Glad it started

good effort, where you are it appears easy to order stuff, here in Oz averages about 6 week ordering time for 40 year old stuff...

Had a Dasher way back when. Worst mistake I ever made was trading it for a Chevy.

I had a CT90 that I used as a city commuter. It got me all the way through college on the cheap with zero parking issues. I loved that bike. Now, forty years later, I have a seven year old XR150L that I bought new that I ride around in the mountains of the Philippines. The CT90 and the XR150 are comparable in terms of rugged durable dependability that are a kick to ride.

🔥🔥🔥, honestly thought it was going to take a lot more work to get it running, good on ya m8 can't wait to see it driving

Great video. I was just given a Craftsman chipper that a tree has fallen on. Pretty sure it will need everything you just did. Perfect timing.

No shoes or jacket for a first time rider , hope it worked out . Cool bike , I have a 79 . Watch the rest later . Sitka

nice

Judging from the odor, I think that it's safe to say that you've discovered what Toyota uses for lube in their engines.

First🔥🔥

If you want to replace the pump rotor its still available.

Monkey Wards, giant store on university street in St.Paul,Minnesota. From St.Paul,Minnesota.

What are you using for suits just dry no heaters inside???

I had one just like it on a flat bottom 14 foot boat and used it for 40 years 😊 bring back great memories

This style Goldwing reminds me of the 76 cb750

It's alive!

i have a 1968 johnson 6hp that someone gave me. put fuel to it and it fired right up. missing the twist throttle handle and spring. if someone can guide me where to get vintage parts id greatly appriciate that.

Great Score Bro ,Love ol Boat Motors ,No Frozen Bolts or Nothing Classic Well done

Oh man! Brings back such memories! I bought a 16' steel V bottom boat with this motor. The motor was seized and I spent a week or so soaking down the cylinders and tapping the pistons with a wooden dowel until they freed up. I (like you) cleaned the carb, checked for spark got this bad boy to fire. I had a lot of fun fishing out of that boat and the little Sea King did a great job. The first run was in January and the lake was about to ice over. Me and two buddies were young (and dumb) and we launched in 28 degree weather. The motor ran great and we spent about 20 minutes on the shake down cruise. The bow was iced up at the end of the run. All of this happened in '76. About 5 years later I traded the boat and motor for a KZ-400...what a mistake. Too bad TH-cam wasn't around back then. I would have made a vid like you've done. Good job, brother! PS...get yourself a brass brazing rod the same diameter as the prop shear pin. I cut myself a bunch of pins because the first time the prop sheared I had to use a fish hook as a temporary shear pin.

Nice little engine, love it

Ward's branded their outboards as Sea-King. My aunt had one similar to this one. I think they were manufactured by Scott-Atwater.

When things were built tough.

Cool old school boat motor!

You got a title with it that the bad to the😂

500 to800

Nice job. Sounds pretty good. Do you know how many cc’s that motor is?

Montgomery Ward was a catalog sales store back in the day, similar to Sears. They didn't get quite as big as Sears, and start selling things like houses. But the did sell just about anything else a person would need in their home, from clothing to appliances to tools, just like Sears did. They probably also sold the boat that would have gone with this motor. They also had some retail stores in towns, but again, not as many as Sears. They later just changed their name to Wards to try to survive. But eventually fell into bankruptcy. What remains of the company was bought out by Colony Brands in Monroe, Wisconsin (home of The Swiss Colony shops of cheese, sausage, swiss candies and pastries). And you can still find remnants of Montgomery Ward there. Back in their catalog days, Wards would sell products from many other companies. Which would sometimes be rebranded with their name. But they also designed and made many products of their own. You would have to do some research to find out if this motor was a Wards original, or if it was made buy someone else.

I would We're not complaining at beat Chevrolet.Shovel shuffle Ling snow. Nothing without

I have an 83 that I paid $2000 Canadian for - running. Unfortunately the starter died and I have to install a new one, and there are a few other things need adjustment.

All those throttles are like that. You will understand once you take it apart. Funky design in the handle bar throttle mechanism.

Found your channel on a comment about new technology. I thought you might be interested in the thunderbolts project. An alternative view on cosmology and other science topics. They’re featured on my page.

Her first time in sandals and a sleeveless shirt on asphalt???

Great bike, i got one identical in Europe for 950€ in 2024. Is the best bike ever for confort ❤

So after you get it running, what do you do sell them

Needs steering gear the multi tooth.

Needs valve adjustment

Needs a valve adjustment

x2 on the crank seals in reference to the engine RPM. Nicely done on the startup. Wondering if since you have the bottle with 2 stroke oil why you would not have gone full throttle on the carbs or removed the carbs and used the bottle to inject oil on the crank rods and on the crank bearings as well as a guy can do in this situation?

Thanks for sharing.

Sweet video, would have liked to see the cleanup.

I've had my thoughts on one of these (for around the farm) for a LONG time. They're RARE. Not only do they attract "antique" prices, most are in need of major rebuilds and you'd practically have to be a mechanic to keep them running. I think I'll end up opting for a Honda XR150L as my very first bike.

Hi great video. I wouldn't adjust the governor to make it run faster, that will only wear the engine out quicker. They are only meant to do around 3600rpm. I reckon their is something else,,,,possibly change the pulleys running the blower. Also on the idler pulley front, you can drill out where they are spot welded together and then just change the bearing and rivet it back together. Just make an alignment mark so you get it lined up right. Much cheaper.

Put it in storage for 20 years ?? What a shame

Like your vids. Keep up the good work.

Blower needs a new belt I bet.

Of course it'll run and it won't piss oil all over your floor either...It's a Honda-

87 octane…… in such a high performance machine? You savage, that beast deserves 93 or above😅 Not sure what part of AK you’re from (first time viewer) but I would love too ride my 1966 ct90 (ct200) down route 1 to the Kasilof, probably dying in the process but what a view!

Good stuff. And the old 650 gets a new lease on life. Good job sir! You earned a new sub 👍
