I owned a blue one back in the early 80s, I loved that bike, swapped out the 3-speed semi-automatic for a 4-speed with a clutch and a larger 90cc head from another bike, they put that motor type on many bikes
@@PabloDiablo682 I grew up in the seventies these bikes were a dime a dozen back then you could beat the hell out of those things and would always run pretty dependable little bikes back then my buddy owned a mini trail 50 cc
I had a 1970 ct 70 just like the orange one there. I was 10 when my dad bought it for me. I absolutely loved that bike. A lot of great memories riding it! Should have never got rid of it. I rode that thing to death! Thing is, you can’t kill those things! They take a beating! Keep the oil clean and it will never let you down. Very Very dependable!
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 🙏
I've never fixed a small engine before, but was always curious. I found your channel, and I'm hooked. Great information, and I always learn something new. I love your shop too!
Had an SL70 when I was a teen. Loved that little bike and I rode the wheels off it. The engine was bulletproof. Really enjoy the videos and I always learn something new when I watch them. Keep up the good work!
I’m loving the old mini bike... Just rebuilt myself a 1976 Yamaha Chappy last year after getting inspired by watching your videos. Just want to say thank you!
Love helping you out on these projects, you never yell at me, and always explain what and why you're doing something. AND I'm learning shit every day! Thanks Mr. M.
Thanks for the memories Mustie. I had a Honda Trail 90 back in the 60's and loved that bike. The bike wasn't as fast as the Street 90 but I made good money dragging deer from the woods on a "home built one wheel trailer".
Great vids mate. This is just how it was in New Zealand as a kid watching Dad or Grandad in his shed. If you couldn't aford it, you made it. Always got things running! Thanks from an old Kiwi.
Same as my first bike in then 1983, she's from 1974 and I still have and love her, among all the other bikes I have now. CB200 carb adds a good 10mph to the top speed and the gearbox I've changed from the original 3 speed semi-auto to an SS50 5 speed with manual clutch. Every one seem to love them, get waved at by bikers, car drivers and pedestrians with big smiles all the time.
Ha ! friends and I had one of these as kids, we went shares in buying it slightly used and plain wore it out from use between all of us, going to heroic efforts to keep it running, tightening up the valves as the cam wore, and I remember us all laughing *hysterically at the hilarious pop, pop sound, like it was blowing bubbles the first time we ran it with no exhaust ! Good times, great to see you bringing back those memories of the golden days of decades ago. ! Can't wait to see you riding it 😁
So many memories brought back...those adjustable handlebars...my brother always wanted his up all the way almost touching like ape hangers, I always wanted mine out to the sides! We rode the wheels of ours, then put new wheels on and rode some more! Great little bikes...mine never had turn sig...I was a bit more reckless than my brother😂
Hi i have been watching this channel for a while ,it brings back lots memories from my younger years when i was an apprentice we learned a lot from fixing Robin ec19 /briggs/ kawasaki/honda /lister /hatz /enfield and lots of other engines it was a very good preperation for us as we moved onto bigger engines ,,love your channel ,,
Man, your area must be a treasure trove of this stuff. I cant find little bikes like this around here that need work! Id gladly buy one on the cheap and fix it.
I have a 74, same as your spare bike. Rode it as a kid and got my hands on it again last summer. Still can't get spark after new points and condenser. You have motivated me to give it another try this spring.
Will it Run? Of course it will, after you tinker with it. :) I don't think I've ever seen a video where whatever you fixed didn't run... Thanks for the fun time wrenching with you Mustie1. Hearing you laugh and saying "All Riiight" as you get things running is always the highlight of the video. Thumbs up! 👍🏼
Stan Burton He definitely does. In one of his videos (CB350 or SL125 video I think) he says he has the balls to make and upload his mistakes in front of 60,000 viewers. It’s a lot more than that these days. I’m glad he does post the good and the bad outcomes because I learn either way!
Hi mustie! I really enjoy spending time in the garage with you! I'm into alot of the same stuff! I recently came across an old bicycle with the engine setup on it, and i hope to bring it back to life! Thank you! I think your tips will help!!!
God I want one of these so bad. Two big dudes were riding a couple really nice restored ones around my town and looked like they were having the time of their lives! Butts overhanging the seats and all 😂
Had one of these when I was a kid. It was a ct70H. 4speed with a clutch. Did 45mph and very dependable. These bikes are getting to be collectibles. Good job.
OHHH man this one hits closer to home more than any other, The Honda CT-70 was the first motorbike that my father had given me, Which he bought years before that and kept it stored away till I was old enough to ride! I will always have a special place in my heart for the CT-70, most of my 4 strokes mechanical knowhow came from having to fix that bike as I was basically using it as a Motocross trying to keep up with all the boys that had the 80CC 2 strokes, I use to open up the points so wide to get more speed out of it I would go throw sparkplugs like candy. It makes me grateful for the childhood I had and sad because kids nowadays are not likely to have the fun of working on old bikes due to the fact they are building houses and condos everywhere they can.
Had a gold one of these as my first bike. Learned to ride, crash and and lot of fixing at a young age with it! I can't tell you how many times I had to bend those handlebars back into shape. I finally put a brace between them which helped a lot. I still have a heat shield shaped scar on my leg from when it fell on top of me and I got stuck. Good times!
A 1969 CT 70 was my first motorcycle. I got it for Christmas in 1971. It was like the tangerine Orange one you have there. I use to be able to ride the trails all day on one tank of gas. It got passed down to younger cousin,and then to their kids. It's still going strong to this day,with very little done to it since it was mine.
Drain the oil. Refill 90/10 ATF /acetone. Plug out. Replace crank nut. Setup a way to hold your air impact. Run engine with impact 30 minutes. Drain, refill regular oil. Congratulations on 250k Subs!
@mustie1 I have a 17 hp Kawasaki propane engine sitting in my driveway that needs a new home. Haven't seen you work on a propane engine yet. Still runs but has a bad ring and smokes. Came of a floor buffer.
@@rickyparrish2570 it's for large machines. My machine has 2 27 inch pads. But the stores I clean are between 20,000-50,000 square feet. The faster the pad spins the faster it shines the floor so it takes a lot of power to turn these pads with a hundred pounds of weight pushing them to the floor without bogging the engine down.
I had a small flywheel like that once that just wouldn't budge. Left the puller on and sprayed it with WD40 and went in for a coffee. When I came back it was all lying on the floor.
I could hear the excitement in your voice when it ran. That was another great video. Looking forward to seeing the result. I have no doubt you will be riding it around the yard shortly.
I had one of these as a kid. I can't remember if I sold it or tossed it. It was a e speed auto. My cousin gave it to me, it just need a bit of love and a intake valve cover. Thank you, the video brings back memories.
Before my first 125 my friends and my self rode mini bikes. I had a solid suspension mini bike with a Briggs (60''s ). My friend rode a mini trail along with his brother and half the town for 3 summers. It was beat and beat. Flipped front and back, rolled, and even stolen and recovered. On one day it seized. No oil we found out. We refilled the motor with oil and dumped 3 into 1 oil into the spark plug hole and jumped on the kick starter taking turns and even jumping off a chair to the lever. Be nice we were 8 years old. After a few hours of this torture she started in much to our delight smoked. Seemed a little less powerful and took allot to get it started every time but it ran. INDESTRUCTIBLE is my comment. Sorry for my poor English. Thanks Mustie1
Had one waaaaay back when... the kick start was stripped on the inside and wouldn't engage. No problem, pop it in 3rd, and give the bike a nudge to pop-start it off the clutch. Far easier to start that way as the trans would spin the engine much faster than the kick lever could. (when it used to work...) We even swapped the rear wheel for a larger one to get faster road speeds when we took it on the highway or road trails. Swapped back to the smaller one when bombing around the more off-road paths. Would love to have a half dozen of these again for my family now. Sweet little rides.
Love the videos of you working on the Hondas of my childhood - CT70 and XL100 and XL125. Also liked seeing the new screw extractor work on a real-life stuck screw.
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!
I had these when I was 11yo. Awesome bikes not sure why no one makes new ones today? Would be a popular little bike to fold up put in camper etc. There is a Honda flywheel puller tool that threads into center hub. You can't pull it from aluminum outter areas . Had a few Bridgestone Rockford "Chibi"with lights I would ride at night to my girlfriend house 5 miles away on Long Island NY in 1970s. Good ole days lol
Absolutely amazing can not wait for the next episode. all six of my children love when you put a new video up. They beg to watch mustie. Keep up the amazing content
Childhood memories, my dad bought us the mini trail 50 when it first came out, that little thing was bulletproof. That was the beginning of my life of riding motorcycles
Still a "tease" but oh so worth it! Looking forward to all of 'yer videos. BTW, my wife says "no need to watch the next video since you got it running." I said "HUSH YO' MOUTH, woman! This is Mustie1."
Gotta love a Handy lift. Nothing takes motorcycles or ATVs or such up better. I traded in my air unit for a electric one, it has a screw type drive... you set it at height you want, and it flat stays there.
Congrats on 250,000, you deserve it, knew it had to run, it's Musties garage, friend of mine had something similar to that mid 70s, I was still riding 3.5 hp Techumseh Chopper, he hit a parts delivery van sideways rite in front of me, he spent 3 mos in the hospital, I sold my bike never rode again
Man... I had an identical one when I was a kid in the 70s... I beat the s**t out of it in any possible way!!! Those little Trail 70’s bikes are tough mo-fos I can attest to that! ...The shear number of times I had to un-twist those handle bars after a crash... Fun times!
I learned how to ride a bike on one of those except mine was a 1973. It was a tough bike. Broke my arm jumping ramps with it. Hearing that popping sound from the exhaust sure brought back some memories!
Kent, My old neighbor had 3 of them. 1 that ran, and he wanted $150 for all 3. I didn't have the cash. Another guy I met restored them, and he wanted a lot of money when he got done. I think he wanted $900 for one he had!
Apparently where he lives this stuff grows on trees. He find old air cooled engines everywhere. Where I live a bucket of “engine” is 1k covered in oxidation.
I've wanted one of those bikes since I first saw one back in 72. Lots of guys ride them around at the strip and at swapmeets. Looking forward to the rest of this rustoration.
Had one in gold color great bike 1974 model I think it loved it I lived in a apartment in Queens NY I'd bring up in the elevator into my apartment had it for seven yes all i did was get new tires every 10 thousand miles change the oil Andre 3000 sold it for $600 I wish you would have kept it. Oh it was a clutch.

Childhood memories, my dad bought us the mini trail 50 when it first came out, that little thing was bulletproof. That was the beginning of my life of riding motorcycles
Still a "tease" but oh so worth it! Looking forward to all of 'yer videos. BTW, my wife says "no need to watch the next video since you got it running." I said "HUSH YO' MOUTH, woman! This is Mustie1."
Gotta love a Handy lift. Nothing takes motorcycles or ATVs or such up better. I traded in my air unit for a electric one, it has a screw type drive... you set it at height you want, and it flat stays there.
Mustie1 your videos are the best!
Excellent! Love these types of videos with the old Hondas!
You know when Musty is serious his hat comes off. Great Video.
Love watching your videos every time you have a new video I have to watch it. Thank you for all the great videos
Looks like imma stay in bed another hour. Thanks a lot Mustie!
Congrats on 250,000, you deserve it, knew it had to run, it's Musties garage, friend of mine had something similar to that mid 70s, I was still riding 3.5 hp Techumseh Chopper, he hit a parts delivery van sideways rite in front of me, he spent 3 mos in the hospital, I sold my bike never rode again
We call those "Honda Dax" here in Japan. Not too hard to find but quite expensive.
Honda dax in Argentina too
Man... I had an identical one when I was a kid in the 70s... I beat the s**t out of it in any possible way!!! Those little Trail 70’s bikes are tough mo-fos I can attest to that! ...The shear number of times I had to un-twist those handle bars after a crash...
Fun times!
That bike sounds like the Wonkamobile BLUP BLUP BLUP LOL. Gonna really enjoy this series. Thanks
I learned how to ride a bike on one of those except mine was a 1973. It was a tough bike. Broke my arm jumping ramps with it. Hearing that popping sound from the exhaust sure brought back some memories!
Those go for ~$1000 in that condition where I live.
That things pretty rough for $1K where I live
Kent, My old neighbor had 3 of them. 1 that ran, and he wanted $150 for all 3. I didn't have the cash. Another guy I met restored them, and he wanted a lot of money when he got done. I think he wanted $900 for one he had!
@@davidregan9872 The cheapest one I can find in my area is $850 but it has a clone engine. The most expensive one is $4500
Apparently where he lives this stuff grows on trees. He find old air cooled engines everywhere. Where I live a bucket of “engine” is 1k covered in oxidation.
I admire your ability to face mechanical adversity with such calm. I'd be screaming, swearing and more than likely throwing that out in a snowbank.
Nice, those are fun lil bikes.
This is the only channel that I will watch for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Great work so far Brother, Can't wait to see you on it. lol Cheers Dizzy.
I've wanted one of those bikes since I first saw one back in 72. Lots of guys ride them around at the strip and at swapmeets. Looking forward to the rest of this rustoration.
Ahhh now here’s the whole video. Thank you Musti
Had one in gold color great bike 1974 model I think it loved it I lived in a apartment in Queens NY I'd bring up in the elevator into my apartment had it for seven yes all i did was get new tires every 10 thousand miles change the oil Andre 3000 sold it for $600 I wish you would have kept it. Oh it was a clutch.
