Thanks for the help on my old snowmobiles , you were spot on and i now have them running great . I just wish you were my neighbor so i could pick your brain daily
My dad used to drag around the irrigation canons with one of those in the 80's. I remember it being a good bike. But Mostly the plywood on the racks and how sharp the pegs felt on my 8 year old feet.
Oh my gosh, I'd forgotten all about these, my buddy had a yellow one. I don't remember them being a tough as the Honda bid red's, and S model atc's..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸👋🤠 edit post watching: yup that color...lol you might get the color back with a heat gun, or a torch if you're ultra careful!!
@@toocheaptosmoke that pretty blue/silverish indicates a temperature of around 6-800ish deg Fahrenheit, or 1,500deg at it's peak, this is totally a S.W.A.G. but I'm probably close!..lol..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
@@toocheaptosmoke I run mine around 30-40c as well. Seems to do the trick like one would expect. 1 cup to 1 gallon of Distilled H2O dilution ratio is what I use.
My dad has one. Had a fucked transmission so sometimes you would shift and get 2 or 3 gears. Had a lot of power wheelied everywhere. Felt like your hand was gonna rip off trying to start it. Gradually lost compression and doesnt have enough to run anymore, would like to get it going again eventually.
Seemed to last about the same as the regular mix, just goes on heavier. High exposure areas like wheel wells that get blasted with grit, salt, and ice wears off after a couple season. Other places on body and frame are firm and still a bit tacky underneath
Stabilizer is better than nothing in ethanol fuel, but no matter what you add the alcohol is there and gonna absorb water. I've seen oils go bad after ~20 years of sitting, anything less than a decade has been good in my experience.

glad to hear, lol!
Pretty much the same engine is used in my XT200 which I upgraded to a 225. Nice work on the restoration!
Thanks man!

She's a beaut. Those three wheelers are a skill check... ride or die. 😊
Awesome! Brings back good memories
I thought we might hear some working words when changing that tire!
That's what video editing software is for, lol
Sounds fun to drive.
I picked up a 225DX last fall. Been slowly working on it but it's coming around.
The one in the vid felt like a year long project, haja
Great come back!! I think I would have lost that recoil rope and used my DeWalt to spin the crank!! Just a thought. Good to see ya back again!! Lol
Yeah, that recoil came close to being tossed in the scrap pile, haha
A never ending amount of projects..i'm jealous
Nice work. Great job getting her up and running. I’m looking for a small cc 3 wheeler for the youngsters to speed around on in our woods
This guy is funnier than fuck I think this is the best 3 wheeler revive on TH-cam right now 😂😂😂😂

Yeah that clutch has seen some serious heat!..lol..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠
Yes it did!

👌 vidyas
whats your view on fuel stablizier ? view on stored ethanal fuel ? & view on new oil but sitting for yrs and yrs ?scam or not ?
Stabilizer is better than nothing in ethanol fuel, but no matter what you add the alcohol is there and gonna absorb water. I've seen oils go bad after ~20 years of sitting, anything less than a decade has been good in my experience.
its now a three stroke
Use joy soap pine sol has pine oil in it
Whats a good price to get one non running?
I think all that smoke might be old oil burning up out of the pipe
It did seem to burn out, but after the engine sits for a while it still belches some smoke.
Where is the bj40?!!!!!!😢
Sitting in Canada waiting, haha
Damn can’t believe you answer me thanx man
I watched the video from the bj 1O years ago I got a red one
Clr works mint in an ultrasonic cleaner
