After Thoughts about the Video: One side note is how much quieter the 4 stroke engine is. Nearly 1/2 I'd say. The original 49cc 2 stroke vs this 31cc 4stroke doesn't have much if any power difference. The 4 stroke has more grunt off the line but falls flat at higher rpm/speed. Where the old 2 stroke takes forever to start moving but keeps pulling at higher rpm than the 4 stroke. How fast was I able to go? around 20mph in speed one(has 2 speeds) and wasn't able to get it to pull away in 2nd gear. I did have a little downhill part that gave me a nudge and I may have hit 25mph. A 120lb kid wouldn't have an issue and this would push 30mph easily in 2nd gear. This doesn't sound fast but you fell like your clipping along at 20mph on this and the steering gets twitchy.

WOW ginger always down for whatever
If you have a bicycle repair shop near, they throw away bike cables all the time. Love the scooter, never seen on of those. Thanks for the upload
Great point!
I don't usually learn anything new watching mechanical things on TH-cam, I'm the guy talking out loud telling them how to do it right. But I really learned something on this video, the best ever way to lube a throttle cable. Thanks
I will use the Tygon fuel line on the cable lube trick. Nice of you to help the boys out on the scooter.
You never cease to amaze me. Ginger is just so awesome!
Ginger is awesome! My dog Rocky freaks out from the weed whip. Love those little Honda motors they run forever if taken care of.
Thanks for the info on the Tireject. Impressed with your upgrade!
Was anyone else picturing him with a rifle and gas bladder slung over his shoulder, riding with his doggo, all Mad Max through the urban apocalyptic landscape? This channel is in the top 10 of all TH-cam content for me. 👍👍
Heck yeah! I love the Mad Max style.
That’s pretty cool! Back when I used to race go carts, we used 1/4” freezer line with bulk purchased cable to make throttle cables. It’s nice because you can use the ferrel fittings to mount to whatever brackets you make. Plus you can make them whatever length you want them and they don’t freeze up like the metal sheathing. They will wear out over time but easy and cheap to replace. I don’t recommend them for brakes though unless you soldered the ends.
That's awesome
I had one of these 20 years ago it was a lot more basic but loads of fun and better than pedaling lol I'm pretty sure my neighbors didn't like it much at 3am 😂
The 3:00 a.m. two-stroke screaming up the street is always a fun one. I remember dreaming about having one of these 20 years ago
I’ve got a Honda string trimmer with a similar engine I bought in 2005. It still starts cold on 2 or 3 pulls and on 1 pull when hot. It’s burning a little oil but that’s probably due to valve seals. No oil and gas to mix and no annoying “mosquito scream.” Honda power is no joke. 😊
Yeah, great little motors.
I always wanted one of those when I was younger! These are illegal here but the rental electric ones that are twice as fast are fine...
Nice job on the swap, that's a big improvement.
I would have killed for one of these when I was a kid.
You and Ginger riding the scooter was the best part!👍
I think so too!
Nice work! What a sport Ginger is!
Great video, as usual! Can't believe Ginger will stay on that scooter with you, that's crazy.
She was hesitant and twitchy on her first ride here for the video. I ran around the block a few more times and she got way better
Fixitman, you are the best fix it guy I've watch on TH-cam. Just don't let PETA see this video with the pooch on the scooter. They will terrorize you from that point on.
Man I have learned a lot from your channel been watching for a while. I love the abilities of Ginger too, great relationship between you two it seems :)
Hey thanks. I'm glad you like the videos
NICE REPAIR !!!!!! I JUST LEARNED " HOW TO LUBE THE WHOLE CABLE " !!!!!!!
Great job, Moe! :) You might add DuPont Chain-Saver to your affiliated links next time. I not only use it on bike chains, but on small engine parts such as choke assemblies because it doesn't attract contaminants/no binding up.
That was a fun one - didn’t realize just how cheap replacement parts are for that stuff ..... thanks for sharing !!
Love it,
Yeah everything's cheap but you have to constantly replace something... Catch 22.
Great job, Your dog really trusts you. 👍👍
Great job! Loved ginger going for the ride as well!
Hey thanks
Another awesome episode featuring Ginger the Wonder Dog !
Excellent video
A blast from the past.😄 I added a few ounces of trans fluid to my 20+yr old cracked wheelbarrow tire, worked like a champ! Part of the fluids job is to swell rubber seals. Btw Ginger Rocks! I have the same tight connection with my adopted Australian Shepherd, (tri-colored red) 💞Midas rescued me!!✌️
🤔 I'm guessing trans fluid might work pretty good in riding lawnmower tires that aren't too far gone.
@@michaelbrinks8089 Most definitely! put in about 5 or 6 oz give or take, air it up, spin it around a few times and you're good to go, try it tomorrow friend. ✌️
@@yukonjack. I'm gonna give it a try in my 10+ yr old moving dolly tires. I figured tire slime wouldn't work.....So I bought 2 repair/conversion, innertubes a couple weeks ago for under $10 at harbor ⚓ freight. Instead of 2 new wheels/tires for $25....I'm gonna try the trans fluid 1st, to see how well it works & let em soak for a couple weeks. It'll recondition the inside of tires before I put the tubes in. I made some tire/inner tube liners out of some scrap black rubber roofing material. To help protect against flats from sand burs & goatheads. The diy tire liners worked in my bicycle/no more sand burr flats....There's an automotive product called AT-205 reseal, that works really good also to recondition exterior rubber & internal seals....It's a clear liquid, but now thinking about it, its probably the same chemical additive that's added into trans fluid for the rubber seals. There's a bunch of TH-cam videos about the at-205 reseal.
I have a 52cc on mine Moe same scooter you have but I added a seat .. Amazing power !
These are a blast.
Looks like a lot of fun and one of the higher end ones. Catch you on the next one my Friend! Zip~
Thanks
Cool project Moe and Ginger does her thing again!
Really great video I enjoyed it very much.
Hey thanks
I can hear the song "Best Friend" (from Courtship of Eddie's Father) playing in the background while you and Ginger are riding on the scooter. 🤣
Dog lovers appreciate dog lover journeys. Ginger is a happy girl.
very cool upgrade :)
Once again I wish I could leave a second like just for Ginger!
Ginger is such a sweet smart and beautiful dog. You are lucky to have her 😊
Hey thanks
Ginger knows that if she goes with Moe she gets to have lunch.
Ginger - If I sit still can I have some ice cream?
I’ve got a new title for you. “The King of Kludge”! 👍👍👍
Cool scooter. You made it better than it ever was. I have an 11 year old FG110, I didn't know about that gear. The entire tiller is not cheap, I see they now go for $450.
Yeah it has to be the best mini tiller made.
perfect upload :D
Lol, I have to get some of that tireject so that I can put it in my neighbors lawn tractor tires so he stops borrowing my air compressor. 😆
Cool scooter repair, gotta love those quiet Honda 4 strokes!
Homemade cable luber awesome idea!
Glad you like it!
One of the top ten this year.
Step one. Go to Australia and get a Ginger dog.
Step two buy Tire Jet
Great job
*Best Friend Ever!*
It’s definitely crazy how cheap these parts are…
Love it…
Yes, TireJet works.
But, FlatOut works just as good if not better.
One of the main "death trap" issues with the scooters are the very short handle bars... if you fall, you can get poked hard and have internal organ injuries without more than a bruise on the skin... Just watched a video about a girl who fell, barely had a bruise, but her mom took her to the ER within 24 hoursbecause she had some pain... turned out she was bleeding badly internally.
Ginger and 65 hit the road to visit all their fans!!!
Awesome!
good to see you again friend, the VW is still runnin strong i see! how is the old ford doing these days?
70's Ford Truck is doing great as well as the VW. Took the Ford on a 10hr round trip a few months back and it didn't miss a beat.
What a great dog !!
Always great to get a new SixtyFiveFord video and even better if it has the word "deathtrap" in the thumbnail 😁👍
Thanks for your great vids. Is that an air conditioner on the front passenger floor of your vw?
Yes. I did a little video on it last fall
A buddy that ran a concrete pump found a little 2-cycle mounted to a skateboard in a dumpster years ago. Don't know if he actually got it going as I dropped out of the loop shortly thereafter. Don't think Ginger is too enthused over that rig either. Happy Happy and God Bless
That would be a fun trip up and down the street.
@@sixtyfiveford It'd be me on my head. Too many concussions already.
You have to admit you love working on this 💩 It gets the the creative part of the brain working YES ‼
True
You got the COOLEST dog ever seen.
"You're shifting my weight, dog, DON'T move!" :D
Neat upgrade! Cheers!
The things kind of sketchy without a passenger. 50 lbs kept going left and right underneath me making the steering very twitchy.
"Working on old garbage is fun." That made me laugh so much. Ginger never fails to impress. Good one Moe.
Sometimes life choices make you question yourself.
👍👍👍.Thank you
Ginger is AMAZING!!...last week driving tractor..😮..now riding a scooter😅..when does she get to try your pickup?? also eats with chopsticks. ..cb
Hi brings a whole new meaning to telling your dog to scoot. 🤣👍🌞🐝
Moe, I'm sure that you, of all people, can come up with a way to fabricobble some kind of a gear setup to revitalize that tiller thing! Ginger is the BEST!
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Almost spit out my coffee after the 2 pull start on that Honda, lol
Fantastic little engines
Ginger sure loves and trusts daddy Moe😊!
Can you do a video of the proper way of DIY electric bike ?
Your dog is about that life 😂
I saw the Mad Max comment and the thought of a rat rod style 3 wheeler mini bike came to mind. You know, for going to get milk during the apocalypse.
Oh Yeah!
Can you add that tireject to tires that presently contain slime sealant?
Personally I have after the slime has dried out (1-2 years). However, I don't think they recommend it but I have had decent results doing that.
Most motorcycle riders pretty much only use the front brake... not sure on a scooter if that's better than a rear brake. Rear brakes are easy to lock up. Brake hard, weight goes forward, lifts off the rear, and then the rear locks up.
Because you stand on these, the center of gravity is just so high up front braking just has to be done very cautiously. It does work better when you're on a hard surface though, than the rear brakes. Problem is if the front tire locks up/ slides on these it immediately dumps you off.
Hi there! I just subbed cause of this video! I do have a question: I have a 2 stroke stand scooter 49cc, and I was driving one day and half ways I felt like the scooter started going faster than normal top speed and all sudden it bogged down and started clattering/smocking,before the motor shut off, what do you think happened? I noticed on inspection my carburator screws were really loose as was the air filter on top. everything was so loose, did I damage the engine, and what you think would fix it ? I have yet to really inspect it, but it would start but bog down. I also do not have fuel filter installed, could it be that the carburator got clugged up during ride and the motor stalled that way and wont work till I clean it ? I hope I didnt ruin the motor... It still wants to start but its not
2 stroke revving higher than normal is the engine running too lean. This can be as simple as running out of gas. But can also be an air intake leak.
@@sixtyfiveford Thank you for the reply, I don't believe the engine was out of gas as I left the house. For the sake of argument, say it did get glogged somewhere fro mthe fuel, would running it 25mph and it suddently died like that with shakes as it slowly died? Also, would that hurt the engine in any form? Im just worried I ruined it, it was like " wow, this thing suddently is faster than usualy" to " oh sh.t its dying , and I see smoke too!" lol... it wasnt that smokey, white smoke when I finally stopped IF it really did hurt it, I would of seen black smoke, right and a lot of nasty smell? Thank you for the replies, you're amazing ! Im glad I subbed, I hope you can reply back to this last time
good doge!
11:32 thought you were a slime guy, but I'll try this stuff when I run outa slime
I still use slime from time to time and it works great. However, I think Tireject works slightly better and for way longer. Slime seems to dry out after a year and leaks can reappear. Slime mainly consist of a liquid holding cotton fiber and teeny rubber pieces to seal leaks. Once the liquid dries up, it leaves just a solid clump of cottony rubber stuck to the lowest part of the tire. Not all leaks reappear but I would say 25% do. With Tireject once it's sealed, it's sealed for life. Also you put in so little that it coats everything and there's never a clump left anywhere. Both work good though
Ginger is going to get spoiled..lol..the scooter seems to run well..ginger likes to ride..sweet dog..later ya'll..
You got that right!
We idnt it the cutest little 4 sttoke
👍👍
What’s that say about me when ginger has a more exciting life than mine? I need to get out more.
Those things are very dangerous. I've got one I put a motor from the harbor freight auger onto, and it is scary fast. It really sucks when the front tire blows out and sends you flying
15 years ago I broke my hand because the front tire caught a tiny bush hanging over the sidewalk and sent me flying.
Were you at the off road wrecker games or did you just get a sticker?
I was there.
Did you rebuild the bearing for the handle or just replace it?
WD-40 and sent it. It's going to be a rusted ball bearing/ disintegrated cage, that I don't have. It smoothed out after the lube though.
@@sixtyfiveford okay
cool repurpose of the Honda engine. First I've heard of the Tireject. I would love to try it on my ATV tires, but previous owner put motor oil in them and now they are starting to seep oil. Grrr
I've had a lot of people comment about using motor oil in old dry rotted tires. I played around with this a little bit years ago without great success.
@@sixtyfiveford I've had the 99 Yamaha Bear Tracker 250 for about 5 years, and it's a good unit w/ original tires. I only noticed the oil at the beginning of last hunting season. They've been fine up until then. But now I'm thinking the oil is starting to break down the rubber and that is what's causing them to leak. I can't imagine I would be able to get them clean enough to use the Tireject now.
@@JohnMGibby Yeah I wouldn't waste my time with sealant if there's oil in there.
Bet all the neighborhood kid’s text each other “Hey take it to MO’s house he’ll fix it for us.
❤️ginger
Amazing you can get Ginger to stay on that thing while its moving.
This was our first ride around the block after a while she got used to it.
Where'd ya get the brake caliper?
Amazon. Most of the time eBay is cheaper but this time Amazon was.
You're like the neigborhood dad lol. Looks like fun. I wish I lived near by you so I can work on my projects with you while you do your projects.
Ginger is the most Beautiful ugly dog i have ever layed my eyes upon.
Perfecto dog.
#1 dog
Best damn dog on TH-cam.
4 strokes much more reliable, lucky it bolts right on. Looks like Ginger needed a wider platform, or might've been the holes she didn't like
Yeah the 4 stroke will be much easier for the kids to fill with petrol and not worry about mixing.
bet you're glad you didn't run into any squirrels on the test ride ;)
For sure
GINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGERRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Looks like a HT project...
Hmmm 🤔 curious 🙃
😎👍👍👍😎
Hello Ginger
👍👍👍👍👍👍🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
🧙♂️
Motion Pro has a newer cable luber that seals completely around the end of the cable and works worlds better than that style.
Question for you if you have it. Only reason I haven't bought that one, I read online it doesn't slide over a lot of mower cables with ends like the Z-Bands.
@@sixtyfiveford Yes, Z-bends might be an issue. Mine's at work and I won't see it again until next week, but by memory I think you might be able to wiggle a 1/2" offset end through the neck. I'll try to remember to take a closer look on Tuesday.
That four-stroke you should get more torque out of that's how to put on a predator 6.5 horsepower LOL
Now that's what I'm talking about! I don't know if you've ever ridden these things. These things are so squirrely on the road.
hi
We just came to see the dog ride
What is this sorcery
Front brake stops you, rear brake just leaves skid marks, no weight on the rear tire when braking.
On a stand-up scooter like this was a center of gravity 5 ft off the ground, The front brake throws you over the handlebars.
I have to admit the few times I got on a Go-Ped, I promptly fell off. But my problem was controlling the throttle when my body weight exceeded the Weight of the Go-Ped by about 100:1. All three of my kids raced these scooters in the 80's and with reasonable skill/experience they were competitive and none had rear brakes.
