I pick up this 1972 honda trail 70 from a friend that bought it not running 20 years ago then stored it until now. lets see if we can fix it back up for road use again.
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!
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!
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".
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!
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.
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 ,,
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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😂
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!
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.
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 😂
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 😁
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."
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.
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!!!
Hi i have many of them they are fun to ride and to work on have 3 for the street we take them to dayton every year and ride main street and on the beach cant wait to see the rest of the video good luck,, like all your work you are very talented
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’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!
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!
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
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!
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
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.
@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'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.
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
You have a lot of patience. I like how you laugh when things go a little south. I also knew you would show it running before the end the video. You got skillz. 😀
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
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.

Hello Mustie from Kentucky USA!
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!
All I hoped for! Go give that carb some lovin'.
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

If it's in musties garage, one can guarantee that it'll run eventually! 😉😂

That bike sounds like the Wonkamobile BLUP BLUP BLUP LOL. Gonna really enjoy this series. Thanks
After watching the small engine repair vids, every time I get my lawnmower or snowblower to start I hear Mustie1’s laugh and chuckle to myself. 😀😀
I have never seen a Honda so finicky about oil , puking fresh oil on it's owner ? This is going to be a great revival series !
Great little machines, those trail 70s. Used to have one when I was about 10 years old. It was sold for $300, when my family moved. Wish we'd kept it.
Nice, those are fun lil bikes.

There are Chinese clones out there and like Mustie1 said, they've got a 125cc..a Lifan I think.
You have a lot of patience. I like how you laugh when things go a little south. I also knew you would show it running before the end the video. You got skillz. 😀
Always makes me laugh when you giggle when stuff goes!
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
