Hiya bud cheers much appreciated.

Hiya bud, cheers, it's taken me a few years to collect. Mum and dad had chalys when we were kids. Hopefully yours still exists somewhere. I'll keep my eye out for it. I'm not sure if tbe inova engine will fit. I've never seen one.

Hiya bud, funny enough they do look like singer sewing machines, I'll have to make one into one soon

Cheers buddy. Just carb cleaner this time, and blasted it out with the air line.

@@monkeyroo8740 Thanks, I’ve had difficulties in the past with 50cc mopeds trying to get the bike to run right due to carb trouble, I just couldn’t find a way of successfully cleaning the carb out, I’ve used carb cleaner but with limited success. I guess you need an air line(which I don’t have access to or a sonic cleaner.

@@willswheels283 yeah I've got a sonic cleaner for when there absolutely rotten inside. I've had a few where they have taken a couple of cleans to get right. Which moped you working on

Hiya bud, cheers for subscribing. Yeah it's such a buzz when they come to life, and that smell they give off.

Cheers bud, yeah this was just the minibikes, there's c50s c90s and other period bikes In the collection.

Cheers bud, it's took a couple of years. But I'm always on the look for more. Can always squeeze another little honda in the mancave

Thanks for watching

Morning buddy, yeah I wear it with pride in the uk bud.. and yeap the st turning into a little cracker. You will have to do a ct70 in white oneday.

Hiya buddy, and thanks for watching. Yeah there's loads I'd like to improve on with the tech side of the videos. But I've no idea how to do it lol. Cheers for the info of tbe grease, much appreciated.. I've nearly finished this one, got loads more projects to do. Hope you enjoy..

Hiya buddy, cheers bud. I bet the parts ain't cheap, but the bike will look epic when done. I got my flower seat of ebay, its not bad quality tbh.

Cheers buddy,

Hiya bud, I haven't tbh.. I've always used shires, I know there expensive but they have always been good with me. And I know its the right stuff. I'll have to take a look at David silver next time

@@monkeyroo8740 I've never heard of Shires, I'll have to look them up.

@@waynekerrgoodstyle yeah I've used them from day 1..would be goosed without them tbh

Hiya bud , the nice weather finally here buddy. Time to get out and enjoy. Going to be doing a few riding videos this year.

Hiya buddy, yeah went ok from then on. Will be doing another ride out soon.. now the nice weather is here. Hopefully we don't encounter any ffords lol

@@monkeyroo8740 Fantastic! Looking forward to those!

Cheers buddy. Yeah I enjoyed building this one, rode it for a year on the road. Now it lives In the conservatory. Hoping to do a chopper cub soon

Hiya bud, yeah just a little different lol.

Hiya buddy, I've never tried them sorry, but if there cheap enough. Worth a try

Hiya bud. I bet. But atleast the bike wasn't flooded

I swear I did not laugh, glad to hear you're ok. that was a good ride!

@@monkeyroo8740 Great video!

@@waynekerrgoodstyleit took Ian by suprise. Glad he ok and we had a laugh.

@@monkeyroo8740 Ian went down gracefully 🤣

Hiya buddy and cheers..yeah do it bud..they get loads of attention when we're out on them.

Hiya buddy, and cheers for watching. I get all my parts from shires in the uk. The flower seat I got of ebay from Malaysia. Hope you have fun with yours

Good old hondas. They don't take much to get them right.. bet its nice up there in the glens. Maybe oneday ill take a trip up there on my st50. Cheers for watching buddy. Much appreciated

Nice one, I do like chalys as you may of guessed lol. Does it need much to get it back on the road

Hiya bud, you should get another and enjoy them again

Hiya bud, cheers. Yeap I love it when they come to life again after a long lay up. Typical honda, didn't take much to get it running.

Hiya bud, sounds like fun.. I ride some of the vintage bikes on tbe roads. I get some funny looks from the young generation, they haven't got a clue what they are. But the classics for me are tbe best.

Hiya bud, thanks for the sub. Really appreciate that. And I'm glad I've given you inspiration too. If you need any help give me a shout. I've got a green nc50 which I featured some time ago. What part of Scotland are you?

@@monkeyroo8740 Hey thanks for the offer! I'll have to go check out your green Express video. I'm not too far from Edinburgh.

@@waynekerrgoodstyle yeah check it out bud. Its a great little bike. Always starts first time. I'll try do another video on it soon. I did enquire about a honda st70 up your way this week..its on the Isle of bute. So to far for me.

@@monkeyroo8740 Fantastic! To be honest, I think the Isle of Bute is a bit far for me to travel too! 🤣

Cheers buddy, yeah they look cool as. Goes well too

Hiya bud and cheers for watching. It depends where yours has come from. If its an import, you will need a nova certificate. But its not to bad aslong as you have all the paperwork that came with it.

Hiya bud. Yeah just give it a tap with a rubber mallet. But do it criss cross if you know what I mean. But be careful not to damage the rings.

Many Thanks.

@@swisstoni01 keep me posted on how you get on bud

So with a few taps it came loose. The engine has probably stood for 30 years, the Speedo shows just over 2000 miles. The bore appears in good condition, nice and smooth with no obvious scores etc. The piston likewise looks in good health. The upper ring was free moving but the lower one is stuck in. Turning the engine by hand it appears noisy from the fan end. It makes a bit of a knocking sound either side of the BDC point. Hope that makes sense. Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks

@@swisstoni01 nice one, glad it's come off without Any damage. Tbe barrells are getting harder to find. YeH I noticed on mine there was a bit of play too. But runs sweet as a nut. Like a little sewing machine

Hiya bud, cheers. Wasn't sure which one it is. Either way it's a honda. It's come up nice for the next video.

Hiya bud, yeah I've always fancied on for my collection, but always missed out/ or something has took priority over it will have to get it on Road

Hiya bud. Yeah it's not to bad tbh. I've cleaned it all up for the next video. And was suprised how nice it's come up

Hiya bud, and cheers. Hope you well

Hiya bud. Yeah very similar setup to a motobecane, I have a x1 in my collection if you haven't seen it on my previous videos. I'm suprised there's not many over in the states, they were very popular with celebs in the 60s.

@@monkeyroo8740 Nice folding Motobecane 👌 . I'll keep my eyes out for a Wisp, I like the odd ones, lol

@@ogbigtsbikesandstuff887 cheers, it's not the fastest in the world but so much fun to ride

It is a Motobecane engine. It does not pivot from the cylinder head because it has a fixed-ratio belt drive. May I recommend a non-authentic modification? Replace the horrible Gurtner carburettor by a Dell'Orto SHA14/9 and get much smoother running, no smoke from the exhaust and almost twice as many miles to the gallon. In the 1960s these were very common, and you used to hear their engines four-stroking all the time except when going uphill. The Wisp in this video has been kept a long time in a damp place and the crankshaft bearings have been damaged by corrosion. The engine should not make this racket, it should have almost no mechanical noise (not even any tinkling from the piston; the cylinder is made of aluminium with a chromed bore, so the piston clearance can be less than it has to be with a cast-iron cylinder). If it is just the main bearings that are pitted you can replace them for a few pounds.

Hiya bud, I buy to restore for myself, and I never sell. Once they come here,they are here for good lol With this one ,it belongs to a family member. I don't tend to do anyone else's tbh..

Hiya bud, yeah it sounds sweet. Considering it's been stood..I'll be doing a full resto on it later on in the year

Hiya bud, yeah it's in good nick tbf..yeah I would ride it around town too. I'm amazed it's all complete too

Cheers John.. yeah looks cool as.. goes well too

Hiya buddy, hope you enjoy your project. I replaced the crank bearings in the engine. They were noisey top. Thank for watching

@@monkeyroo8740 thank you.

@@swisstoni01 no probs bud

Hiya buddy and cheers. Yeah I'm made up with it. I bet they go well over in the states, your roads look loads better than ours..have you tried ebay UK for a brake cable? There's a few on there. Cheers for watching

Hiya buddy, I source them of either ebay or shires UK.

Hiya buddy. Yeah that would look cool. I'm hoping to get the original one fixed. But there's a bit of a queue before this one gets done lol

@@monkeyroo8740 I know how you feel buddy . I cam get 5 minutes these days .

Hiya buddy, cheers. There's a blue c90 yet to restore in blue. But it's more of a sky blue.

Hiya buddy, what I've done I the past is either pour a little petrol down the pipe and burn it out (in a safe place) or soaked it in costic cleaner over night.
