- In this video I restore and old Yamaha Fs1e Motorcycle Fuel tank from 1979. It has dents, rust and holes and is in need of a full restoration. I sealed the inside of the tank in this video • Sealing A Rusty Motorc...
The Fs1e changed to an Autolube system and this moped was restricted to 30 mph here in the UK from August 1977 and this was renamed the FS!M. Very collectable and their value has rocketed over the last few years.

This is the restoration of the external of the fuel tank, If you want to see the inside of the tank treated for the rust, check out my other video on my Retrorestore Channel at th-cam.com/video/ThiG1wvvAdU/w-d-xo.html
what can I say, just fantastic.
I have an old Harley z90, that i have plans to restore ( my dads first motorcycle), I'm interested in the internal treatment of the gas tank but your link just directs me back to this video. Amazing work btw!
@@lanewhite153 I'm amazed with all the views that the link to the internal restoration hasn't been fixed !
@@lanewhite153 I sealed the tank in this video th-cam.com/video/ImSLiXqDojo/w-d-xo.html
@@rd40077 Yes it was th-cam.com/video/ImSLiXqDojo/w-d-xo.html
I like how you do the work with passion on these old machines... Please, lets not make them die!! Keep doing this great work man!
I had the SS50 and my friend had the Fizzy, summer of '76. Together we got both to do 45mph on the flat, his acceleration was better but I just about got him on the top end. Two young commis chefs who had the afternoon off in a long hot summer forming life long friendships. Thank you for taking me back to amazing times.
Great memories Mark.
So you had the other SS50 then? Your dad musta given you the 'you aint having a stinking 2 stroke ' lecture too! Everyone else in the uk had an fs1e or an AP50!
theravedaddy They were fairly equal in Blackburn and Preston where I grew up. I had a girlfriend who lived in the Trough of Bowland at the time and they get a lot of snow up there. I can honestly say I never once had to use my pedals, and I never thought it was a cool look peddling down the street hoping your 2 stroke moped would start was a cool look. The Honda garage was the biggest motorbike shop in Preston and easily in walking distance of my mum's. I went all over on that thing, including down to Ledbury to see my Grandma, it took all day and I was half crippled by the time I got there. It only cost about £3 in petrol though which was about 15% of my wages each way. 1976 was a great year to be 16 and life was a great adventure in a long hot summer. Now you’ve got me reminiscing too much!
@@markharris5771 i bought my SS50 after stacking dog food in tescos after school. After spending a shift upstairs relabeling food with higher prices while listening to Abbas dancing queen id fire over to the george n dragon n drink 9 pints of guiness and get 3p change from £3. Then id learn how to fall off n bend things back straight again.
Yup, those were the days.....
You must have had the 5 speed ss50 my 4 speed was no match for my mates fs1e!! Great times🤗
Great job! Most people have no clue of the amount of steps and care it takes to do something like that.
Stunning job, probably the best fizzy tank on the planet
Wow Martin you have put hours and hours of work into that.
It has came out absolutely brilliant.
Superb big pat in the back for that turnaround.
yes Billy, it did take a while but it was worth it and looks great. I do love the Fs1e's
The force is with you DARTH.
WOW the people at Yamaha would be amazed at your work. Great job
Very nice job! Back in the 70's I had a Yamaha DT175. Fun little bike!
I had one too bud.
Wow, that is simply beautiful! Stunning work.
Old School Lacquer Job, brings back memories!! Well done Mate!!☺
Thanks bud.
That sand blaster is awesome.
Outstanding job.
Your son did an amazing paint job on it.
Truly remarkable. Your voiceless videos are a pleasure to watch and extremely satisfying
Cheers bud
Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship.
good old fizzy they were the days , fantastic restore video
Fantastic work!
Beautiful work... Wow!
wow..Fabulous job Martin. well done. Great video
Unbelievable restoration, 5 stars my rating.
Like Father Like Son! Exelent job Martin !!! Thank You Very Much...!!!
Cheers Henk
Good video iv got a take I'm working on from my project moped build my raleigh runabout moped as iv got a pin hole leack this is going to help me bring the 1960 tank to life again thank you for making a great video
Awesome job on restorying that Yamaha gas tank.
Cheers bud
You get an A++++ just for the background music alone. LOL. Outstanding job by the way.
Cheers bud
more than spot on
Looks like a brand new tank,, nice job sir
Another fine piece of work. Thank you.
As always another great project by the butler team . Nice one Martin.
Another superb job Martin. Cheers Malcolm
Sweet resto!
Those skills would pay off very well in New England! :D
Well done Martin.
When trying to rub down odd shaped objects put them on a sack of sand it's much easier than struggling to keep the work piece steady. Good to see an Old Triumph Spitfire in the corner with that obnoxious Russet Brown British Leyland paint work, get it painted pimento red, I spent a whole winter stripping and re painting a MK 4 Spitfire
Yes, the Triumph is going Brown again what the customer wants lol
@@RetroHax well there is no accounting for taste!! Great job on the yammy tank
Left handed people are often high achievers. Brilliant restoration.
Well spotted. Cheers
Martin
Ohhhh it's better than when new 😮

I had the fizzy, same colour as that too, fortunately I got mine before the August registration, wqhich mean't I didn't have the governer on it. It had the old style peddles unlike the ones after August which had the normal foot stands. Great memories on my fizzy
Fantastic job! 🖒

Martian I hope you have the rest of the bike to fit it onto 😂😂 lovely job👍🏼 and Jimmy’s a great little sprayer now top job 😉
I wish I did Paul lol I only have the tank
I got a little nervous when you sanded the base coat! What a great finish in the end though.
Martin is serious when he brings a restoration piece to his workplace. Except, this time he let his associate paint it. All that's left to do now is source rubber cushions and wax the tank. Looking mint now.
Lovely job Martin 👍🏍️
Cheers bud
Looks like another great job Martin. Jimmy is a dab hand with the spray gun.
Yes, he's a natural.
father and son what a team first class

Baz,
Great video Martin. Wow looks better than the factory made it new. i had one of those fs1e in 1974 brand new gold color, all my mates had one so i had to get one lol.
Cheers, Jeff.
I had one too Jeff, Worth silly money now though so all I have is the tank lol
RetroHax I traded it in for a Yamaha 125 AS1 a year later, then a Suzuki GT125 lol.
SOS un capo loco un mago con esas manos 😍
Martin, you smashed it again mate that looks the bollocks, what a lovely job you did there, you're a cool dude buddy another great vid five-star production

@@RetroHax well you did a great job there mate, I bet someone somewhere is looking for a blue tank for their restored fizzy, anyway great job Martin

Good restoration 👍👍👍👍
Haven't seen or heard of a "fizzy" for years! It was *the* 'ped to be seen on when I was 16 (1980).

O mundo verá mais colorido.
Grande abraço 🇧🇷
Spot on.
Amazing job
fs1e, fried sausage 1 egg, was a classic ped.
Definitely , nothing could touch my AP
@Project 806 Camper
knew a kid who got a brand spanking new Fs1e for his 16th birthday from his rich, divorced mother. The day of his birthday, we were standing outside his house at the bus stop in Churwell, Leeds, gob smacked at his expensive present. He saw all us other 14-15 year old kids waiting for the bus to go to school on, parked her right in front of us, revved the tits off it and tried to pull a wheelie to impress us all. All eyes were rolling and he very nearly came a cropper as we all laughed our arses off at the spoilt cunt. He was well known in the area for being a bit 'special'!
I was more interested in Honda 400 4's and LC Yammies at the time so skipped the pedalled 50's and bought myself a 2nd hand, 125, 2 stroke yammy when I was old enough and got the cash together.
Ficou muito bom 👏👏👏
nice bro👍
Great job, one of my first bikes was a FS1 and as I recall at the time the only difference between them was the E had no indicators and the M did, I'm probably wrong and there was other differences, anyway great video..
A heat gun and those decals will just pull right off much faster. And petrol will eat right through fiberglass resin. Good job thought :)
The tank has been sealed inside now.
Hello Martin another top job mate looks better than New mate
Cheers bud
Brilliant
