I Bought A Trail 90 That Hasn't Been Started In 20 Years.....And it shows

- This 1970 Honda CT90 has been in storage untouched for roughly 20 years. In this video we get familiar with the machine, try to get spark and install a battery. Then we start inspecting and cleaning the carburetor and fuel system.
A woman who buys you a set of JIS screwdrivers for Valentine's is a gift from God.
YES!!!
I may have teared up a little.
@@idahoduckhunterTotally understandable.
I got an ultrasonic cleaner for Christmas and it’s the bees knees for carbs. A couple of soaks and you’re there. I too have a habit of bringing home neglected motorcycles, it’s an investment you won’t regret.
Ive mentioned that a few times.
If you get a really bad one, you can soak it in a gallon of carb and parts cleaner, the kind that comes with a soaking basket. It works miracles
My wife tossed mine out thinking it was a dirty old deep fryer! I got a new one though. Absolutely a game changer

Bought mine at Lidl for 20 eurobucks
Been using it for at least 5 years, performs great !
that carb can be cleaned. soak with carb cleaner! what a gem of an upload. this put me in a good mood.
some b12 get er fixed right up
Vinegar and guitar strings
yea ive cleaned out way worse than that!
Man! Camera girl is such a keeper! Count your blessings every day.... loved this video!
My cheap harbor freight ultra sonic cleaner is my go to motorcycle carbs. When they are this bad, I run them through the cleaner a couple times before I disassemble them, then run them a couple more times when disassembled. Makes a world of difference and I only use simple green degreaser in it. Im so happy when I get a notification that you guys have uploaded new video. Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment you two have given us!
Camera Girl you are precious! Perfect Valentine gift you got for your man
Thank you so much for coming back to youtube. This is blessed posting.
Clicked 'like' before I even started watching! I discovered your channel when I was looking for how-to vids to go along with my first CT90 purchase. Loved your first CT90 series and all of the content you've shared since then. I'm up to three CT-90s now, and even found one with a sidecar. The value in these has only gone up. $700 seems like a fair price for this one. Now you and camera girl have his & hers Hondas--just in time for Valentine's Day :-)
When you guys make each other laugh it’s the best most driest humor and I’m here for it
I was about to comment that you should definitely get the JIS screwdrivers for this bike, then you found them. Very thoughtful of her to get them!
Its savable, she'll run like new! Just got 2 of these before Christmas and one is already running, same problems as yours! Good luck with yours from just up the road in Foresthill.😊
Glad you got the JIS screwdrivers, find it hard to believe you didn’t already have some… but Jenny is a gem!
Maybe an ultrasonic cleaner is good, but you can do that carb without - providing nothing breaks while you’re stripping it. Sure George won’t run till you’ve sorted the carb though! Now I’m on tenterhooks for the next episode!! Steam on.. Les in UK 🇬🇧
And now we've come full circle.
It was a honda trail 90 with a pot for a head light bucket that brought me to this channel. And here we are.
So lucky that in the states these low mileage gems are still out there. Can't wait to see the his & her CT trail ride 🙂 Most JIS screws have a dot mark on the head, easy to spot.
😃 good to see you guys again, you two are addictive…we just can’t get enough of you guys 😁
I love the frequency of the new content! Happy Valentine's day!
Its Great to watch you two making videos
Watching you guys always makes me smile. Thank you.
Thank you guys for some laughs and another great video!
Keep posting mate your one of my favourite channels I've been watching you for years 😊
What a find. $700 is a steal for that bike in the condition it's in.
He made me irrationally angry with that, I'm like screaming at my phone. "Well I eventually popped on it for 700..." 😂. At 700 that would be throwing it my truck fast AF. That's one clean bike.
@@snesguy9176 For real!😂
I always enjoy watching you guys.
great episode, tools are always a great gift !
I grabbed my '74 from under the eave of a feed storage shack in west Texas, where it sat for 2 years, for $100. After a touch of work, runs good! Looks ok, and provides smiles.
Beautiful purchase! Beautiful channel! Beautiful hubby wifey relationship! Wish you guys a very long beautiful life! By the way, Horhey had me laughing out loud like a crazy man
I have the EXACT same machine in my garage. I bought as a basket case and have been restoring it. Here's a few things I've run into: The rectifiers on these bikes were barely adequate from the factory and mine wasn't working at all, so I replaced it with a modern version. The wiring inside the handlebars was all shorted together and blowing the fuse because the insulation had flaked off. The potting material in the coil had leaked and the coil was shorted. Good luck with it.
I am happy for everyone who finds to the JIS screwdrivers. They are a game changer when working on old japaneses bikes. What a lovely CT90. I would really love to have one, but Honda never sold them in Europe, so you would rather find a unicorn here. So I keep on riding my faithful 70cc Honda Chaly, a cousin of theCT90. Shoutout from Southwest Germany.
Thanks for the comment, I didn't know that they never sold them in europe. I am enjoying the new screwdrivers.
The price on one of these in good running shape in my area (Souther Ontario Canada) is getting honestly insane.
This type of content and title does really well on the platform over the past couple years, hope this project's fulfilling in both working on it and making videos of it.
So happy to see another Trail 90 video, Your older video's about the Trail 90/125 is what inspired me to buy a motorcycle. Thank you! :)
Lol’d at Jorge-izontal!! 😂😂 then almost spat my drink out at “it’s period correct”.
You are my favourite people on TH-cam
Used to watch this channel all the time until it died down good to see some new videos
ive been sitting on a 65" trail 90 for a few years now. im inspired. thanks from oklahoma
Good luck man!
love the trail 90's! glad to see it again on the channel
That carb really needs an ultra sonic bath! She'll be brand new afterwards
Yes back to the well bud what started me watching you years and years ago..you make good videos somtimes man! I love yu and ur sweetys style nice relatable folks seems!
I really really love your channel keep up the good work all the way from 🇦🇺 😊❤
You are so lucky you have them around at those prices over here in Virginia the last one i saw in that condition they wanted $3000 for it
Come to England mate they're £3000!
I bought a west Virginia import off the back of these videos
It's great to see this type of content again. Buy a cheap bike, and get to working on it. Entertaining and educational.
The first bike I did was an 81 trail 110. This channel gave me the confidence to do it and your other trail 90 videos helped a lot.
If I knew about JIS 20 years ago, that would have been great.
I didn't get a set until 5 years ago. Totally worth it.
For three decades, everyone wrenching on Japanese bikes were under the illusion that the screw heads were made from cheese. Few realised that/why the "joke" screwdriwers in the bikes' toolsets fitted perfectly. Instead they put a "quality" Phillips #2 bit in the impact screwdriver and pounded away with the sledge.
Been a fan for years! I am honered!
Tanks grim... I burnt a tank out using a battery charger and metal rod... Por15 tank kit has got me some life out of a rusted tank that has no replacements.. I like that trail90, cool little bike
That carb can definitely be saved. Ultrasonic cleaner and the right chemicals. Also invest in a $3 can of carb cleaner spray :) Fun video! Good luck!
Glad you guys started doing videos again!! 🎉
First impression you got an outstanding deal. I learned hoe to ride on a bike just like that! Great video!
I really liked "Period Correct" it is that on the fly humor of yours that just makes my day!
Your videos bring me up when I’m feeling blue.. I enjoy your humor
I'm loving all the new videos!!! You guys are what YT should be about.
Love your working on classic trail bikes. CT90 and CT110 forever!
This is the first motorcycle I ever got to really ride as a kid. Some of my favorite memories... I can still smell the exhaust.
Yes!! Love the little Honda videos!!
Great video! A friend just gave me a 1982 Yamaha Maxim 400 twin that has been sitting for 15 years. I just bought my own set of JIS screwdrivers for it and my Yamaha snowmobile. Big difference! But lots of the screws were chewed up by using a Philips. BTW the I in JIS is “Industrial” not Industry. Keep it up!
I believe that you cn save the carb. Thank's for the video, I found it great!
You guys are GOING!!! thanks for another carb video
Good to see you post.
I have a 1972 ct-90 mar’s orange from new with 1050 miles still ride that bike my son has a 1971 sl-70 what a fun day riding them both
Wow, camera girl is the BEST!!! Those JIS screwdrivers…💯💯💯
That screwdrivers made me semihard. You better make her happy. Noones ever been so thoughtful towards me.
Hey, good to see you again. A good soak in an ultrasonic cleaner then teardown and re-soak should have that carburetor like new. Nice screwdrivers Camera Girl!
They may not be the coolest motorcycle ever made but they have a lot of fond memories for a lot of people myself included
my experience with Jennies garage started with that Trail 90 years ago. So looking forward to this.
Thank you for the video ❤️ I need part two please ...
So According to honda,when I was doing the certification test,after you put the acid in the battery, you are supposed to wait for a half hour before you put the caps on,and then do a new battery charge at about 2 amps,until it's fully charged.if you do it that way,the battery will last for years under normal conditions.
If anyone can save that carb it's you big guy 👨🔧. Looking forward to the results 🤘
I remember when these bikes were new. Not really fast bikes but a lot of fun to ride
I had a 69. I think the right lever is original with the ball end. The left looks like replacement. But those are old memories.
Great to see you 2 guys enjoying making videos again.
Did anyone else feel disappointed at first that it’s not a video of a larger dirt bike/motorcycle, but then end up being very interested and kind of wanting one of these little “scooters” by the middle of the video since it’s another entertaining quality Jennie’s Garage video?
Not me. Larger dirt bikes are a dime a dozen, and their 1 foot gap between the rear tire and the fender are as provoking to already hostile neighbours as boy with pants sagging well below their butts
Haha fair enough!
OOOOOOH NO SHE DIDN’T!! SHE DID NOT JUST DROP THAT LINE LIKE A G! 😂 hell ya I love your guts channel, been subbed for years! Keep’em rolling y’all!
Once again, sarcasm and wit are a lost art. Well done Jennies Garage!
Thank you!
Nice valentine gift, tools are always a safe bet
@20:03 - Billy Joel - "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" One of my most favorite of his tunes.
Great video. That might be the funniest one from you two, camera girl was on fire.
I always loved this channel been years since I have watched it can't remember why I stopped, lol it's been a long time tho because my man had a full head of hair with just a hint of a going bald patch back then. as I think back he was refurbing a camper and it was something I wasn't interested in I guess YT decided to quit notifiying me on his videos.
Glad you found the channel again, hope you liked the video!
You go so long without posting, yet the content is STILL SOO GOOOOD! haha
That was an absolute steal. Welcome to the family Jorge.
See, that's exactly what I was talking about last video. Good stuff.
I used to buy rust boxes like this. Cheapest alternative is to submerge it in pinesol and just get a rebuild kit. Learned it from an old jeep forum
I’ve had similar situations with slides stuck worse than that sometimes a gentle application of heat to the area of the slide on the exterior of the carb helps quite a bit, great video! You guys are too cute!
Nice bike. You got yourself a great lady. Real nice of her for getting you the JIS set. I have a JIS screwdriver set for my Honda's, they are a must. I had a fourwheeler carburetor that was in worse condition than that one. I mean it was full of rust. The float was rusted to the float pin, I had to carefully disect that carb. But I did get it clean and that was three years ago and the machine is still running strong. So please clean that OEM carb and use it. I hate when people just take the easy route and buy a cheap chinese carb to put on.
You got a good deal, those are simple and easy to work on and there is still a very good market for them, I would strip it down to the frame and clean things up, paint a few things and you can get top dollar for them, all those early trail type Honda's sell quite well, I've sold a few of them and I sold every one of them within a few days of posting, the Trail 50, 70 and 90 all have the exact same style of engines, it's one of Honda's greatest sales successes.
I used to work at Carmichael Honda and would carry a 'C' note just for those rare occasions someone would say 'want to buy a 90?' That would be the most I'd pay for anything that didn't start.
Times have sure changed!
You two are so perfectly cute together lol.. she’s definitely a keeper if she actually knows what tools to get you lol❤️😜
So nice to see you guys more often! Love the new acquisition, love the gift of screwdrivers. Good luck with that carb!
PS: my girlfriend is away, so it's great to have your company during Valentine's Day.
The 70 downtube cover and airbox are kind of unique that year with the recesses for the emblems. I took a set for my 78 and restored with new emblems they look good. Be as careful as possible with those plastics. They love to crack and break easily. 700 is a decent deal for it as complete as it is and milage. I'd look at the gauge closely to see if it matches that year and any signs of tampering to be safe but it looks like the right guage and a low milage bike. If you got a title with it that's a really good deal. Fully restored these can do well. A low milage survivor could do 2k or more with a title I think. Good find!
First impressions, you did good. I would have bought it too.
Camera girl is on fire! A nest of JIS screwdrivers? I don’t know what she wants but you better give it to her! $700 is a steal for that bike. Red 110’s are my favorite but I’ve always liked that color scheme.
That bike is fresh! I’d love to find one in that condition.
What a thoughtful gift!
Thanks for the upload! That is a beautiful Trail 90!
The levers have different sized ends so when blind people ride them they can tell the difference between the front and rear brakes or clutch… 😂
Nice find on the CT, looks like a very good find, btw the carbs are still available through Honda, couple places to check out are TB parts, and phatmx
Awesome deal. Worth 1500-2000$ when cleaned up and running. DrATV has a good selection of parts for it (OEM and aftermarket).
I had that EXACT bike. 1970 Trail 90. Loved it!
“Now you have less rags.”
Said with such perfect disappointment. LOL
Loved it.
Good buy. Missing auxiliary tank but that’s common.
this was one Frisky lil J’sG vid, even for a St. Valentine’s upload date. thanks, you two.
hopefully, spicy Jorge action followed
I would save that carburetor. Get an all balls rebuild kit. Then my secret to rebuilding carbs is as follows.
Get a brake lamp from a auto parts store go to your nearest rual king or tractor supply and get the gunk brand carburetor parts cleaner. Also get the 3 brush combo kit (steel, brass, nylon) for scrubbing. Also grab a a small container of valve lapping compound (I'll explain later what this is used for) Lastly get a small tube cleaner and torch tip cleaner set.
Add the fluid to the brake lamp and pressurize it!
Use said brake lamp to spray the parts cleaner throughout all and any passages in the carburetor and parts to be reused. Generally I only use the bowl gasket and float needles. It will eat away old varnish. Like the fuel bowl, it would only take a matter of a few minutes to clean up. Use the valve lapping compound on the tip of a q-tip and put the q-tip in a drill insert the q-tip into the needle valve seat and scrub away. It will come out looking bran new and have a circular scrub pattern to help the needle seat in place. Use the torch tip cleaner to clean the main and piolet jets and emulsion tube. Use the small pipe cleaners to ram through the passages for the main and piolet holes in the carburetor. Use the scrubbers like the brass one for the brass floats and don't forget to push fluid though the carb multiple times and run through everything twice.
Almost nearly every carburetor I had cleaned this way comes back and sometimes works better than before and also check float height and hold the carb upside down and blow through the fuel inlet on the carburetor to test the needle and seat.
Sorry for the long winded comment but I love your channel and wish to share my knowledge of rebuilding mikuni, kehin and walbro ECT carbs and pass this knowledge onto you.
i have been wanting one of those for years
Stupid TH-cam never notified me. Luckily I always check to see my favorite strangers on the tube.
The bike is a beauty!
Back in the day when I restored old bikes I use brake fluid in the float bowls to eat the varnish out.
