@@jeanniesasina2995I’ve heard that before!!🤣🤣

@@bcarlsonimages I have an assortment of rubber stoppers ( like we used in school for test tubes). You might find them at Ace Hardware ( they carried them, or did!?), maybe online , or maybe even the rubber ones in wine or booze bottles. Thanks so much for watching & checking out my channel!!

@@springersadventures7654thanks! I actually headed there and found what I needed. I’m curious, the two-stroke & diesel doesn’t damage the carbs or engine?

@@bcarlsonimages Never had any damage, remember it’s probably just a trace amount that gets sucked into the metal, I always experience some smoke on 1st couple start ups, but that it. My auto mechanic teacher taught me this method in the ‘70s, suffice to say it’s never let me down , & I’ve done it on motorcycle tanks, car tanks, lawnmower, pressure washers , plus all the people I’ve shared it with. It’s cheap, & reliable as far as I’m concerned. Best of luck!! Happy New Years as well!!!

@@springersadventures7654I’m doing it now and didn’t realize flash trust would appear so quickly (obviously I’m new to this…bangs head against wall). Any recommendations?

@@edZILLA64 Oh yeah, they love sandy soil, sorta like prairie dogs by Sturgis, not that big or quite as cute

@@edZILLA64 You know it! I have some pics of the car in front of the Daytona boardwalk (around’77-78)I’ll have to dig out, you & others from the Daytona area should get a kick out of!

@@timothystorrs4126 Thanks so much for checking out my video & channel! I can honestly say that I’m really happy to have held on for it all these years, I happy to be still around and able to bring her back to the streets, I’ve lost a lot of family & friends that never got to this point in their life! Ride Safe & stay tuned!!

@@edZILLA64 I hear ya, prices are just plain Stupid, I guess it’s the price we pay for Fun🤣🤣!! I hated to swap out tires, my cousin put them on new, in 1995, but they were hard as a rock. As always, thanks for watching & commenting. If you’re into old Hot Rods, I’m putting a video out tomorrow on my 1st car, let me know what you think!! Ride safe!

I'm working at it!!

@@lisazannit7601 Thanks Cuz!! It’s a Labor of Love!!! It’s still progressing forward!!

@@JosephYoung-o7k Sure, it’s always worth a shot! Regular Dawn dish soap seems to work the best for me, I’ve personally used it for cleaning inside & outside of many parts! It always depends on how long the fuel was in the tank, it sometimes turns to a type of Shellac or varnish which the soap won’t cut. But try it 1st, just don’t steal the 1 from the kitchen!🤪 Thanks for watching and checking out my channel! Ride Safe!!

Thanks Ed! I agree, the dash & console layout is pretty cool. My uncle was down in Apopka yesterday to Southeast Chevy( it’s a junkyard) to pickup some glass & plastic parts for the dash. Overall, a really unbelievable SOLID Body ! Thanks for watching!!

@@mrantone916 The paint on that bike is over 30 years old, & it didn’t suffer any damage . I would still be cautious when using vinegar, it is an acid. I’ve used it on small engine gas tanks as well without any damage, & I’m pretty sure there was No clear coat. Try to avoid spillage when filling tanks up, if you do, I’d rinse immediately with water &/or water and baking soda to neutralize the vinegar. Thanks for checking out my channel & best of luck!

@@timothystorrs4126 Definitely a cool space, really great concept for a Brewery. We really dig when people decide to use an old commercial space for their business. In my neck of the woods, they are demolishing them on a daily basis!! Thanks for watching, ride safely & Cheers!🍺

@@ChristopherRobin-o3r It removed the coating that was in my tank, but mine was the coating from 1978(46 years of braking down!) I would definitely give it a try( don’t forget, throw some small chain, bolts, nuts, nails, anything that may help to loosen that crap up, but not too much or big, you don’t want to dent the tank!)Remember if yours is fuel injected, pull the pump. Vinegar is a pretty good cleaner, it’s never let me down. There are companies that sell chemicals to do the same process, but I’m always cautious about how caustic they are. You always have the option of having a radiator shop hot tank them, but it may ruin your paint. Let me know how you make out! Thanks for watching my video and checking out my channel! Ride Safe!! Springer

@@Thecleananunseenteam I did that video 3 years ago, we were there again in June this year. We never get tired of riding up in that area, always beautiful. We camp in Travelers Rest, makes for a good starting point for great day rides! Thanks for checking out my video & channel, Ride Safe!! Springer

@springersadventures7654 yessir glad you loved it and great video really enjoyed seeing it from your perspective it is a really beautiful place to go ride I have lived in this area my hole life and would not want to be any where else 🙏💯🏍️🇺🇲

@@Thecleananunseenteam I definitely understand why you love it! We used to camp over in Tennessee( Townsend Tn) but it has gotten way too crowded & commercialized. 1st time I rode up to that area ( north Ga, E Tn, northern SC ) was in 1978. Me & a couple buddies rode up from Florida, there were hours sometimes before we seen a car yet alone a bike. Guess I’m showing my age!🤣 Take care!!

@@chrisbrady-t1u I still find it a pretty decent beer, especially for the price. I started drinking it in the’70s, PBR, Old Style, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz Bull, Miller High Life. These were my affordable Beers to drink on the Daytona Boardwalk & Daytona Main St back then. & let’s not forget The Other Place when it was on A1A. Fun Times!!! Thanks for watching & ride safe!!

@@edZILLA64 They didn’t have a Huge turnout , only 3 bikes for judging. Had some nice Shovels & Pans in the parking lot. Not a lot going on while we were there as well. The Other Place was 1 of my favorite rock bars back in the late 70’s when they were on A1A. I miss those days & all the Bikes on the beach! ( but I don’t miss having to clean my bike for days afterwards!!🤣🤣) Ride Safe!

@@Kordziel interesting, thanks, I didn’t realize that!! Thank you for checking out my channel & video!! Ride safe!!

@@PuraVidaAdventures506 Sounds Great! I’ll forward you their info. It’s the Thursday of bike week, word of advice, get there early, it’s a some venue & feels up fast!! Let me know if you decide to make it, I’d love to check out your bike! My goal is to get my shovel there too! Ride Safe!!

Thank you

@@PuraVidaAdventures506 you’re welcome! Thanks for checking out my channel & video!!

@@DFPFTW good luck!

@@h3ad_tr9p Sounds like you’re making headway! I’d probably try letting the vinegar sit in a few days. I’ve never tried cleaning one with a flexible drill brush, but it sounds promising as well. I look at it this way… you have nothing to lose! I’m always looking at buying new tanks, but try all this cleaning 1st. I really thought those last tanks would not clean out, they had been sitting in a garage in Pennsylvania for over 30 years. I was already on the JP Cycle site with tanks in my cart, just in case. But luckily again, the process worked!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed & say a Hail Mary or two for you!! Good luck!!

@ yeah unfortunately I didn’t look at the size of the brush lol little bit bigger than the inlet for the gas. So I grabbed more vinegar. Oh well it’s cheap and definitely effective and cleaned up my old bolts 🤣 been sticking the bolts on my Harley in it knocking out two birds with one stone.

@ tried again no rust but that gray coating is still stuck to some of the crevices. I tried filling half way up and shaking nutts and bolts in it still nada.

@@lisazannit7601 Thanks Cuz, did you take a spin on your Broom last night??🤪

I personally never had any problems from using baking soda. I do know of & have read that many people use baking soda for all types of gently cleaning. Remember, you really only using it to neutralize/rinse the inside of the tank. What ever residue of it that gets on the outside of the tank, you should be able to wash off with soap and water. As always, take your time while cleaning! I’m not a professional shop, but I’ve used this process for many years with great results and zero issues, just trying to help others who want to do it themselves! Thanks so much for your kind words & checking out my channel! Good luck & ride safe!!! Springer

Np I'll just have to get brave and do it thanks again for the info how much baking soda roughly would you use for a tank ?

@@Bernard-l8j usually around 2 cups of baking soda, mix it with a couple gallons of distilled water 1 st before pouring into tanks. Also, I forgot, you can always go to a paint supplier or if you have any buddies that are painters, they sell/use a type of plastic wrap ( like cellophane) to put on sections of cars and bikes when doing spot repairs. Maybe an option?? Something to consider! Springer

Nice one thanks man

@@jimmytad I like the Illinois side. I’ve been on 100 to Detroit,Illinois, from there you can go NE towards Peoria, or keep going towards Chicago. I also like 94 going west from St Charles, Mo., kind of following the Missouri river, really pretty Wine country. Both really nice day trips. We stay in St. Louis 2-3 times a year, always bringing a bike to hit those rides, always nice!! We met a guy last year that said hwy 61 to St Genevieve is a great day trip too. It’s on the list Thanks for watching my video and checking out my channel!! Ride Safe!!! Springer

Thank you for these details Springer!

@@DirtyLaundryTrueCrime That always puts a damper on things when you have rude people! I’ve never run into any at that store, but we haven’t been there this year at all. We’ve been spoiled with the ones in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, & Greenville SC. Ours in Ocala opened back up, workers are pretty nice, but very little inventory, & definitely no older stuff ( it’s what we mainly look for). Hopefully next time you have a better experience! Thanks so much for watching & checking out my channel! Springer

Don’t be! They are still out there , we’ve picked up 1 here and there, but this was a surprise for sure! I’m not sure who was more excited, me when I found the box with them, or when I surprised my wife with my find! Keep hunting!!

@@ride-it-outtimandtoni232 I didn’t realize that about Hardie board. Thanks so much for watching & checking out my channel!

@@h3ad_tr9p Ahhh, So Sweet!! I’m still pissed at myself, had to chance to buy a 1980 Sturgis about 15 years ago, but I was being a cheap ass & wouldn’t pay what the guy wanted!! ( it was $6000) I’ve never seen another Shovel Sturgis go up for sale in Fla since. I’d luv to see it ( & probably a bunch more TH-cam people), you should definitely think about shooting some videos of it!! Thanks so much for checking out my video & channel! Ride safe!! Springer

@@springersadventures7654 will do! I’ll make some shorts and maybe some lengthier videos on it. It’s the Year after Harley bought back from amf so it’s a special bike for sure has the eagle on the front fender and it’s the black gold and brown paint.

@@h3ad_tr9p That would be cool! I was at Daytona Bike Week in 1982 when Willy G was riding around & promoting the Sturgis , FXR’s , & the company buy back. The Shovelhead FXR is another 1 for the Dream list as well!

@@rolandbrookes7302 Thanks for watching & checking out my channel!! That show is always great, & there are probably more bikes outside the show! It’s actually to big of a show for the space, it’s getting very crowded & hard to check out the bikes. A new show started south of Daytona called “Giuseppe’s Steel City Show “ I did a video on it you might like or if you’re there for bike week I’d recommend going there! Thanks again!! Springer

@@JoseRamirez-rk6si I think it would be a good idea to dump the old gas & rinse out the tank. I would suggest removing & cleaning the Petcock screen. If you really want to be thorough, remove/ clean gas lines & clean out carb bowl. I’d recommend pulling your spark plugs to make sure they didn’t fowl out. Hope this helps out!!! Thanks so much for watching and checking out my channel!!! Springer

You’re welcome!!

@@billmac3911 It’s not just for Salads!!!🤣

@@billmac3911 Thanks so much!! Appreciate you watching my video & checking out my channel! As usual, check eBay for kits, or check with any local small shops, they are usually a wealth of information & may even know others who might have some parts. Where are you located?

@@sjaak2307 I have to tell my Uncle about that, he’s had the bike since the early/mid 70’s. Lord only knows what he has changed. I’m a Harley guy myself, just repeating what he what he told me. I’ll give him a little leeway, he’s in his 80’s & still has it & rides it’s well! Thanks for the update! Also thanks for watching & checking out my channel!! Springer

@@battleelf6523 Thanks for the kind words & for checking out my channel & video. I’ll definitely relay the message to my uncle. I think it’s time for him to take the old BMW out & for me to take my old Shovel out, if I do, I’ll video him riding it down the road. Thanks again!! Springer

@@battleelf6523 Thank you for such kind words! Really appreciate you checking out my channel and video. I’ll definitely relay this comment to my Uncle !! Thanks again!! Springer

@@phil-Fry Us 2!! We were just there the other day, always find some vintage stuff( found some Vintage Brand New Coleman stove & lantern parts, still in sealed bags & boxes, plus some Vintage ERTL die cast tractors ), but vintage clothes are getting fewer and fewer. But if you’re needing clothes yourself or children, you can’t go wrong!! Plenty of Newer brand clothing for the resellers as well! Happy digging!! Springer

@@springersadventures7654 absolutely 💯 I love going there I find so much clothing for resell And I love that it's down the street

@@BreakAwayFromUK I agree, along with greedy developers, local & state officials who just see $ signs!

@@ninehundreddollarluxuryyac5958 Thanks for watching & checking out my channel. What we see is blatantly obvious to me & you, but to all the developers & local/state officials , they just see $$$! It’s terrible that to see this happening. Unfortunately it’s impacting other communities to flooding as well! It Sucks that no one seems willing to step up to stop this over development of the state. , & now there is talk about developing golf/hotel resorts on our state campgrounds. Just Stinks!!!

@@TrevorChenier Thanks so much for watching my video & such kind words! I can suggest a few options. (1) You can put some lint free towels in the tank & flip the tank up and down. Or (2) you can rinse tank again with gas. I personally only fill tanks with gas & run with it. But I must say I’ve only done this process with carbureted bikes and small engines. It will smoke a bit, & you might have to clean/change plugs, but that’s it. I’m pretty old school with my hot rods & Harley’s . I can’t imagine any issues with what little oil is left in the tanks, but I hate like Hell to say it’s full proof. Try it at your own risk! I don’t want you mad with me, so be careful. Sorry I don’t know how to respond 100% to your question because you have an injection & I’ve never gone down that road. Thanks again, Springer

Thank you for watching

@@trealm2357 No worries!! I’m able to drop off all oils, gas, paint, any & all chemicals at our local City/County waste department . I would call yours 1st to see if they have any drop off locations. My local AutoZone & Carquest parts stores also accept oils gas also. Lastly, if you know any small independent repair shops (car, bike, lawnmower) , I’m sure they will take it as well ( maybe charge a small fee??) Hopefully this helps! Thanks for checking out my video & channel!! Springer

@@springersadventures7654 thanks a lot! I’ll call my local stores to see

Thanks so much for watching my video, checking out my channel, & kind words! I didn’t realize Home Depot sold vinegar. I’ve used vinegar as well for killing weeds, maybe grapes are the new Supper Fruit 🤣(easy to eat, good for 🍷, raisins, vinegar, kills weeds…Wow!! Sorry, got a bit off topic!! Thanks again, Ride Safe !! Springer

Hey how long did you leave the 30% in tank for? Overnight or is it too aggressive for that? Thks for any info about to give it a try

@@graphicsequip7863 i personally never used the 30% vinegar, the 1 I used in my video is only 5%. I actually never knew that a 30% existed. If you try the 30%, let me know how it works! Thanks for watching & checking out my channel!! Springer

@@graphicsequip7863 I left in overnight no problem. Probably closer to 3 days, shaking it every time I went passed it.

@@c50ge Thanks I appreciate the reply. gonna give it a go

& I agree 100% with you as well!! I’m glad to hear others agree with me on this subject. I mention it to others in conversation & people say it’s not that bad, Bull$*€t!! It’s costing everyone more money each & every year in insurance & taxes that this goes on! It’s ironic you mention that grass, take a look at the Villages south of Ocala, all St Augustine grass yards ( which takes tons of water & fertilizer to maintain). Florida is definitely changing & not so much for the better!! Thanks so much for watching my video, checking out my channel & commenting!! Springer

Ever wonder what went on before 1969 that let more people move in?

Ok
