Hello Mustie. I want to thank you. Yesterday my lawn mower quit on me. what I would usually do is take it down to the Toro shop ($120) and have them fix it because I have never worked on a small engine before and don't know the first thing about them. At lease I didn't until I started watching your videos. I have been watching for a while now and I felt like it was time to get my hands dirty. I went out and got some basic tools and was able to take the carb on my lawn mower apart, clean it and reinstall it. I also replaced the spark plug and air filter. It started on the first pull. Wow. Not only did you save me a bunch of cash, but the pride of being able to do it myself and that it worked. I can't thank you enough Mustie. I don't know if you realize the service you are providing sharing you knowledge to the You Tube community. Plus your videos are the only ones that my wife will watch with me. Thanks again and best wishes and continued success.
Hi, Musti. I love your show, here in Aus. Many of my friends are also keen followers. I chat to you, as you work, like when you were stripping the choke on the 90 and wondering if it was a 12 or a 13mm. I told you Yamaha use 13, not Honda. Maybe I am futher around the bend than first imagined but, keep up your good work; it's a class act !!
Justice just want to Thank You for bring back so many memories. I had a 1975 Honda trail 90. I had some much fun on that bike. Wish I had that bike now. Thanks again.
Nice exhaust note Mustie!! It's gotthat Harey rumble going on... Great job restoring the old Trail 90! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us viewers..
Hey Mustie lad, having fun and not harming anyone, it's what life should always be about. I'm 74 and still doing that so you've quite a way to go yet! Thanks for sharing from an old Yorkshie "Geezer" in Ireland.
After watching your videos for two years. I finally got a couple old Honda bikes. 1970 Sl100 and a 1970 CL125. I learned a lot from your videos and I'll be referring to many of them to help me along. Thanks for your hard work and dedication.
Heartwarming moment @ VWNuts place seeing you wearing a grin from ear to ear. Bless you Mustie1, for all the knowledge you share & joy you give we viewers. You're a special man with skilled hands gifted with humor.
You know you made a good move when you can ride one of your shop projects around the inside of the shop !!! That ending brought back all my trail riding days growing up in the woods.....good stuff
Ah the old postie bike!...In australia the postman all had these to deliver the mail!...that's why we called them postie bike's!...Great job Mustie !!!
Fun to watch you make a forgotten bike brought back to life. That ride is definitely something you couldn't do in the old garage. Reminds me you of avoiding the flowers in your backyard .
I love this project series! I love the go pro shots while you are driving. Some really good slalom drivings indoors. I can't wait to see you next resto project.
Got your next project! It’s a craftsman FF20 garden tractor that needs lots of love. Located in Boston, MA, comes with a snow blower, plow and a questionable mower deck. Save this heavyweight antique from the scrapyard. FREE
Love it! Reminds me of the good old 1960's! Had a head on collision in the woods with one of those and me on my 1965 Yamaha 80. Got the scars to prove it. LOL
Oh thank you thank you thank you I've been binge-watching your videos love your custom homemade bicycles you are an absolute artist this is by far my favorite Channel and again thank you sir
Love checking out ur videos. I learn somthing every time I check one out. I'm an over the road driver and I just bought a huge shop. I think restoring old engines and lawn mowers would be a fun hobby. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for an old hit and miss engine.
Hehehe, gotta love Honda build quality!!! 42 years old and it runs like a top with a minimum of work!! And, I love the fact it has more power than I had expected!! It has some spunk!!!
Not sure if it is the same but when I was very young I had a C50 cub and the clutch could be used with the gear lever. It was a semi automatic affair and if when you put the bike into gear you held the gear lever in position( not releasing) you could gas it and release and in effect pop the clutch. You could then pull a real wheelie. I would expect on the 90 you could do it rolling into second. Have fun with the new toy!
My right side control was broken the same place as yours. I purchased the right hand control for a CT110 from DR ATV (around $40) and used just the bottom half, screws in and with a small modification it fit like a glove. I now have breaks, stop lights and mirror and it looks stock. Great video.
My father-in-law and his friend, both retired and bought trail 90's. The friend had a big piece of property in the mountains near Reno. Those old guys would go out for days at a time and ride those trail 90's. He loved it, talked about it all the time, and smiling ear to ear just like you did. Good one Mustie1.
I must be one of the early watchers. You've got one hell of a nice bike there, don't drag the tail light to much or your gonna need to order more parts!. Great video, thanks for making Sundays special...😛
Small detail here - The handle bar lock lever is supposed to point towards the speedometer. As you mentioned about the oil and the slipping clutch concern, back in the late 70s early 80s oil companies were releasing oils with friction modifiers and that caused the clutch to slip. My dad owned the same model year CT90. The gas tank you have on your CT90 is from a CT110. Same frame just different engine displacement. I'm glad you are resurrecting an excellent trail bike. It's not fast but we always joked that with it low range and you could maintain traction it would climb vertically without bogging down. We used to own a 67, 73, 77, 78 CT90s and still own a 1980 CT110.
Mustie, you never fail to bring a smile to my face, thank you for all you do, the lush green and rain reminds me of when I stayed in WA for a time, oh how I miss it... The PHX area will never look as good
Bike looks brilliant. Lots of hard work and it pays off, as we all can see. 👌👍 Just like to add: You certainly know how to ride a motorbike. Lot of skill there. 👌👍
even tho there are other bikes that put a smile on my face, this one puts a smile on anyone's face that rides it. Just fun as it can be. chip monk is cute.
Wow, what a nostalgia kick! As a kid in the 80's, I used to buzz all around the hills near my house on one of these babies. It was a real mule. No speed demon, but perfect for going up and down trails and hills. (Except mine tended to overheat.) Thanks for the vids on this one!
Nice job. That thing cleaned up nice. Kudos to viewer David for contributing that tank to the build. The color difference isn't noticeable and the match will probably get closer with age. They were probably the same color once.
You dont know how many memories that brings back Mustie . I remember those hondas perfectly . We had a XR 75 in the mid to late 70s . Thing would climb a tree . Awesome bikes .
Also known as the "Postie Bike" in Australia, use to be used by the Australian Mail carriers on rural mail routes, After seeing your trail ride I can see why. lol
Actually, the "Postie Bike" was a lesser-spec than the Trail 90. Australia Post specified that the high/low change section of gear-train be deleted, so not only was the lever absent, so was the indicator on the alloy body of the gearbox. They're still in use in my part of Melbourne with a "comfort" variation in the form of wide fairings to protect the riders' legs from the weather. Later/current "Postie Bikes" are CT110 models.
Turned out really nice, and now a shop almost big enough to ride around ;) even if my yells of "watch out for the Satellite..watch out for Crusty!" were probably heard by all. Those were marketed to RV'ers, and reportedly that's how they got that 'altitude adjustment switch' for the carb..when feedback at a Honda event to rep about taking them around in Colorado and other areas out west, and having to stop and get the carb adjusted each time, led to it being added. They are for running around the campground..riding down to the lake..going to the 'campstore', and not much of a true 'trail' rider, but lots of fun. So totally agree how that shift pattern is screwy to get used to, for us that know the "1 down and 3 or 4 up"..and that's why I let the 110's I did of those go. Nice to get that tank by a cool viewer, as that old one was gone.
Looks great ! Brings back memories of us kids riding at the beach, we lived our summers in a trailer resort park that allowed small minibikes, motorcycles and such, as long as you had a permit tag on it....
@Ethan Evans BLASPHEMY!!!!!!! NOBODY is on par with McQueen, uber kool actor and icon......even in THE BLOB he was honing his acting chops..(just kidding!)
Looks like a blast! Very rewarding to be out riding on one you saved from the scrap pile. Something I have done to freshen up a rebuild project is to use touch up paint in the worst areas with an artist brush. Then a combination of steel wool, fine sandpaper to scuff the unaffected areas and blend the touch ups. Then apply 2 or 3 coats of automotive clear coat. The paint remains as original as possible and the clear coat gives a new surface for polishing. If you don't want to use a spray gun, high quality clear coat is available in a rattle can. The process takes about the same time as buffing and polishing once you have done it a couple of times. Thank you for another video, this is my favorite channel of anything I watch on TV or internet.
Perfect trailbike fast enough and with low range go anywhere power. Spent many trail ride hours riding a 90 happy times. Creeping along atop a felled de-limbed tree in low low is just amazing.
Mustie1, you'd have loved my first motorbike. An unbranded trials machine with a 2-stroke 125cc Sachs-engine and an orange fibreglass tank. Watching you blast round the woods reminds me of those days.
Mustie1, you are having to much fun. Those little bikes are a lot of fun to ride. That was my first bike and I rode it a lot. They are easy to maneuver in the woods. I enjoyed all your videos on it. Great work. Keep it up.
Very nice! That's a special bike... when I was 11 or 12 my uncle let me ride his CT90 (I don't remember if it was labeled "Trail 90", but it was this bike) on the gravel roads around the lake. I was hooked. I knew right away I had to have a motorcycle myself.
As CD S mentioned, they don't always work as designed. Everything has to be set just right. Maybe they work better with larger sized blades. I imagine Mustie 1 will show us when he does it.
this turned out so nice. I am so impressed, and calmed down at the same time. You do this at a lvl where i fell it is possible to reach for normal People, even when i understand that your skills are awesome.
Thanks Mustie, great vid. I have a '72/73 CT90 that I bought new, haven't used it in about 8 years, but had begun work to get it running again just before you posted your first vid of this series (already had my original tank soaking with evaporust). I also have a red gas tank that I bought about 30 years ago, I'm going to soak it next and then coat the inside with 2-stroke oil as you did. A word to the wise: the handlebar lock lever is supposed to be pointed to the front - less damage to the family jewels if you hit something unexpectedly!!!! thanks again. Ps. no safety inspection for any motorcycles in New Brunswick!!
That bike's wicked, lots of zip and light enough to chuck around. I grew up ripping around the forests of the farm on a Honda TL250 which was a blast. Brings back wonderful memories. Well done, I like!
Shop is looking FABULOUS. I remember building my 40x40 shop thinking it was all the space I need. Now I drawing out a 72x40 so I have some room again lol
Mustie, I have a 1981 CT110 and have been doing some work on it. I needed to respray my air box and used VHT engine paint SP 119 Chevy orange-red. It is nearly a perfect match for Tahitian red if you need it. I also used the Dr. ATV or Beatrice Cycle headlight conversion kit for the replaceable bulb and added a $12 amazon led bulb and it is super bright. Hope this helps. That bike is son much fun. Love all of your stuff and have learned a ton. Thank you!!!!!
We had one of those when I was a kid. I learned to ride on it and started at around ten years old, 1972. I road it into the ground and that’s saying something. These things run forever. This is the second video of yours that brought back awesome memories. I had a TL 250 too. Thank you for this awesome series!
On the next episode of Mustie1, Darren gets a tetanus shot after smearing himself down the side of Crusty trying to ride his revived Honda Trail 90 in the new shop.

alternate, "it's not broken until you try to fix it" :))
Nice exhaust note Mustie!! It's gotthat Harey rumble going on... Great job restoring the old Trail 90! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us viewers..
I can only imagine the happiness that comes from ringing inside after years of pepole telling him no, you can't ride inside

It sounds great. I love that hollow sound it makes. It sounds bigger than a 90cc engine with that exhaust system in it.
I was just thinking the same... it sounds so angry! I love it, my old 72 Kawi 175 got nothing on it lol
Ah the old postie bike!...In australia the postman all had these to deliver the mail!...that's why we called them postie bike's!...Great job Mustie !!!
Fun to watch you make a forgotten bike brought back to life. That ride is definitely something you couldn't do in the old garage. Reminds me you of avoiding the flowers in your backyard .
Brings back memories of me 51 years ago as a kid polishing my Yamaha YJ2 60cc. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Nice Caddyshack reference tossed in for good measure. Really enjoy the repair/restoration videos.
It's all ways fun to go back to your childhood!
Great video Sir. The 90 is perfect and ready for adventure. BIG THUMBS UP
I love to see older stuff resurrected and made useful again. Unfortunately, today's younger people don't seem to appreciate that concept.

What a great little bike! One of your best rescues and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you fix it up... thanks for posting!

Sweet little bike. I loved playing with em when I was young.
Explored my world from age 12-15 on a Honda 90. Good times.

What are the odds? I was watching a Mustie 1 video on a Lx178 mower and received notice of a new video .Talk about good timing.

Love the instructional and entertaining aspect of your videos. Out takes at the end are fun. Thanks for your great work.

You're like a kid that wants to go out and play with his new toy but it won't stop raining....Grrrrr!
The best part of his repairs videos is watching him enjoy the fruits of his labor.
For a moment you reminded me of the film, "The Great Escape" 😂😂

Ha, yes , I can see that. Of course Mustie is just as cool as Steve McQueen.

Thaths is happines for an old men like ME !!
Good memory's riding a trail Honda ! always good watching your work ! Makes even better when you take the time to be wild kid ! Love it !!

"I don't think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for a while"......sounds like a Caddyshack quote.😬
Of course.
Mustie1, you'd have loved my first motorbike. An unbranded trials machine with a 2-stroke 125cc Sachs-engine and an orange fibreglass tank. Watching you blast round the woods reminds me of those days.
It's nice to know you golf at Bushwood Country Club.
Chasin' gophers.
Didn't ya see he had him cornered, at the end! ;)
Make some push sticks for that bandsaw. You won't find any spare fingers in the hoard (I hope).
Great to see another old bike rescued.
Paul Rainsford yeah I know Mustie is skilled but I was hearing my shop teacher yelling at me lol...
Use your toe to push on the shifter "heel" part. It’s how aussie postmen ride them. Never mix up the gear and can use any shoes
Yep, that's something we learned on Dad's hilly farm. Tricky to do otherwise while wearing gumboots!
Mustie1, you are having to much fun. Those little bikes are a lot of fun to ride. That was my first bike and I rode it a lot. They are easy to maneuver in the woods. I enjoyed all your videos on it. Great work. Keep it up.
I think it sounds really good.
Beautiful green colors in trail section + cute rodents @ end. Thanks.

Great job, love your videos, I learn something every time I watch,thanks.
You put the chain link clip on back to front. the open end go's to face the back of the bike 👍👍
That`s how I was taught.
surely it depends if it is on top or bottom as opposite then
lol
Beautiful bike, great job and thank you for taking us along on your journey to get it done.
Fair warning the spot welders on that type of band saw can be a bit tricky to get dialed in.
As CD S mentioned, they don't always work as designed. Everything has to be set just right. Maybe they work better with larger sized blades. I imagine Mustie 1 will show us when he does it.
@@normdeplume6133 He mite just do what I did and TIG weld them
Takes a light touch but a lot less hassle
Liked the laugh when you were driving around the shop. Keep making this happen! Inspires me to work on my own and double down after I screw up!
Steve McQueen eat your heart out, the great escape lives
With a side of Caddyshack.
this turned out so nice. I am so impressed, and calmed down at the same time. You do this at a lvl where i fell it is possible to reach for normal People, even when i understand that your skills are awesome.
That sound surprisingly fruity for a 70! Goes well.
Much fun!
It's a 90cc
Thanks Mustie, great vid. I have a '72/73 CT90 that I bought new, haven't used it in about 8 years, but had begun work to get it running again just before you posted your first vid of this series (already had my original tank soaking with evaporust). I also have a red gas tank that I bought about 30 years ago, I'm going to soak it next and then coat the inside with 2-stroke oil as you did.

I grew up ripping around the forests of the farm on a Honda TL250 which was a blast.
Brings back wonderful memories.
Well done, I like!
It's not the SYNTH that makes the wet clutch slip, it's the automotive friction modifier additives.
detergents....
Pretty sure it's a centrifugal clutch not a wet clutch. So no oil touches the clutch, unless there is a serious problem.
Shop is looking FABULOUS. I remember building my 40x40 shop thinking it was all the space I need. Now I drawing out a 72x40 so I have some room again lol
Me 2, two views and 10 thumbs up? Thanks for this.
Good job. Its a nice lookin old bike. Thumbs up for the bonus footage of a kid enjoying his new bike! Fun stuff.
@mustie1 A CONTROL FROM AN EARLY CB450 will work! And is available!!!
Mustie, I have a 1981 CT110 and have been doing some work on it. I needed to respray my air box and used VHT engine paint SP 119 Chevy orange-red. It is nearly a perfect match for Tahitian red if you need it. I also used the Dr. ATV or Beatrice Cycle headlight conversion kit for the replaceable bulb and added a $12 amazon led bulb and it is super bright. Hope this helps. That bike is son much fun. Love all of your stuff and have learned a ton. Thank you!!!!!
Ah, coffee time.
We had one of those when I was a kid. I learned to ride on it and started at around ten years old, 1972. I road it into the ground and that’s saying something. These things run forever. This is the second video of yours that brought back awesome memories. I had a TL 250 too. Thank you for this awesome series!
On the next episode of Mustie1, Darren gets a tetanus shot after smearing himself down the side of Crusty trying to ride his revived Honda Trail 90 in the new shop.
