- ATTENTION - If you haven't seen part 1 of this video yet ( • 52 Year Old Glazed Ham... ) I highly suggest that you watch it to gather all the info you need to be up to speed with this episode. This is NOT a restoration its getting a friends bike back into a rideable condition.
Anyway, In this episode i focus on getting the Monza Mechanically ready to hit the streets again although it probably wont be this year though as the biking season has well and truly ended in spectacular fashion but anyway the first job this time is to whip the carb off and get it stripped down to see what we are dealing with. To be honest once stripped down i was quite surprised how clean the inside was compared to what the outside looked like but appearances can be deceiving so into the ultrasonic cleaner it goes to make sure every passageway is clear, then it was simply a case of rebuilding it.
After building the carb it was a case of working through all the mechanical components making sure everything was still within tolerance, in spec, and not worn or broken so that means, tappets, gaskets,tyres,brake shoes,drums,springs,innner tubes,sprockets,chains, and of course a good service to ensure powerful and efficient running... oh and lets not forget the electrics this is a classic Ducati after all haha.
So after all that work the bike is looking better then it did before it arrived, running and sounding better and is 100% safe to hit the streets now so all's good and the owner is delighted with the bike and who knows maybe one day it will be back for a full restoration.
As usual i really hope you enjoy this series of videos and leave a like and a comment to let me know what you think.
Enjoy

52 Year Old Ducati Brought Back To Life - Monza 160 Part 2 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Hey Guys, For this video I thought I would try and describe things in more detail and describe the processes I use a bit more as a lot of you were asking me to do more of that kind of stuff, so what's the general thoughts on it? should i keep describing stuff in detail or just go back to being mysterious and mute most of the time? haha
Great having more detail especially on the carb workings , easy for me to understand seeing as I'm Scottish 😂
This is a great style of presentation. Thank you for sharing
Honestly I enjoyed the parts were you broke down the more complicated details for viewers, but that being said your videos are also engaging how much you get across with just using visuals and hands on demonstration.
In my opinion it’s better to keep it to a minimal and only explain things you know we will be stumped on, that way you don’t make shooting videos more work than it already is.
Really enjoyed the explanation behind what you were doing keep it up ! 😁
I really appreciated the commentary
I have watched so many of your videos. They are always so theraputic, with attention to detail and clear explanations of your procedures. Such a pleasure to view and relax to. A sincere thank you for sharing many excellent videos. Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you so much for your kind comment and im really glad you enjoy my videos :)
I know you wanted to keep the explanation short, but for those not familiar with these kinds of carburetors I'll add that the needle attached to the slide is tapered so that when the engine is at idle the largest diameter of the needle essentially closes off the main jet and the engine runs on the idle (pilot) jet along with whatever air passes the slide when it is nearly closed. As the slide is raised the needle moves up out of the main jet and because it is tapered, it blocks less and less of the main jet, increasing fuel flow along with the increasing airflow. The fuel to air ratio at different throttle openings can be fine tuned by lowering or raising the needle relative to the slide, or in some cases, replacing the needle with one having a different taper. This video brings back fond memories of working on the Ducati Diana MK III I bought new in 1967. It was a 250cc single and a lot more race-oriented than the Monza, but it had a similar layout and similar engine configuration. I wish I still owned it.
I can't stress enough how much I appreciate the lengths you go through to make these fantastic clips. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your kind comment :)
I owned one of these for a couple of years to get me to work about 1970. I loved that bike and it rode really well. It went bang in the end, and I could not get anyone to fix it. No Internet then to get the parts. Mine had a silver tank. Great video.
I have a 1970 Ducati Scrambler 450, and this video series has immensely helped me understanding how my bike is built and how to approach some maintenance tasks i've always been a little bit afraid of. Thank you very much, cheers from the other side of the planet!
Nice one, the original scramblers are so cool :)
@@RRCRestoration Yes, but what a nightmare if you have limited resources! hahah
You've certainly got the touch - for setting up carburettors,
for torquing up nuts (without a gauge, but not overdoing it)
For painting, you are a maestro.
I liked the sonic cleaner, I spent 2 days on my carbs with a lolly stick and rag
and they still didn't look great.
That beautiful little Monza deserves a full restoration. What a charming little thing, and a great noise too!
This is like listening to John Grant reading a "Little Nose and Two Eyes" story except for motorcycle nuts. Thank you for posting.
Your videos are some of the best for repairs on TH-cam.. looking forward to see more and learning more as well!!
Sunday treat....better than the weather down here!
Enjoy :)
Cracking job 👍, beautiful little bike. Explaining what your doing adds greatly to the video and I hope you continue to do so. Thanks for letting us watch you work your magic on these projects.
What an amazing video! I love to see the creative side of this video and just how many angles you give the viewers! Thank you
ah!ah!ah!ah!...le George!!!
Anyway, c'est toujours aussi fascinant de regarder un travail aussi minutieusement et proprement réalisé!
Man I love these videos. I'm an experienced mechanic, and I still enjoy the descriptions of the work. It keeps me sane. Haha
Io sono un Italiano e ho avuto anche delle moto Ducati: sei veramente bravo!
Tantissimi complimenti per il tuo lavoro fatto con tanta passione!
Love that oil strainer! How cute is that. Not to mention the "steel wool scouring pad" air filter.
Cracking job once again sir.
I’m liking the direction you’re going with this build.
Firstly I'd like to thank you for another cracking video. Secondly i love the narrative in this video its so much easier to understand the mechanics and processes when you both show and explain them. I found your description of how the carburettor works as well as how to rebuild and restore it very interesting and informative as was the entire video. Can't wait for the next one mate, bloody brilliant!.
Nice one glad you enjoyed it and thanks for leaving a comment :)
So many good memories. My Dad bought one of these when I was a kid. Learned to ride on it. I'm 66 now and never stopped riding but don't know if I've ever had any more fun as back then.
I’m amazed that the owner didn’t let you work your full magic on the bike, Lovely job as always (enjoyed the commentary) 👍
You and me both! Glad you liked it :)
Great work! Looking forward to that next project!
Thanks very much :)
Awesome job!! And a great explanation of how this type of carb works. Thanks a lot mate, I love these videos.
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice work. Sweet little bike - as you said, it growls more than it should!
That sound though, never gets old. Great job 👍
Looking forward on the video.
Thanks 👍
What a mean sounding little machine! I already have a couple Ducatis in my garage but now I want one of these!
Beautiful work as always, thank you for sharing.
You can never have to many Ducati's ;)
what a cool little bike, and sounds wild!!! Great job mate, you do you, I'll always come back to watch!! Really love that the ignition and gauges are in the top of the headlight housing, thats awesome!!
Nice to see you. Really glad you liked the bike and the video :)
Another fantastic video, looking forward to the next project 👍
Great work. Beautiful bike, can't believe how well that carb cleaned up. Says a lot for the quality of the materials and machining from Dell'Orto back in the day.
I saw your video, went to the garage and got my 35 year old Honda out for a little evening lap.
Thanks for your great videos, great work, as always
Nice one, old bikes are such a contagious thing haha
What a wonderful exhaust note! You're making me want to pick up one of these after my 900ss restoration is complete.
I actually fancy getting one for myself too , its a very pleasant little machine to be around.
AWWWW you cheeky rascal! I've always had problems with the small bits falling through the basked on my ultrasonic cleaner. You put a piece of scotchbrite material in there to keep them put 😲👏 Brilliant!
Really top job and love your work. You set the standard of excellence well above a lot of other you-tubers and your explanations are really helpful.
One other thing, it's always nice to see the products you're using too.
Thank you very much for your kind comment :)
What a great little bike, loverly quality work as usual. Looking forward to a new project
Always nice to see a comment from you :)
This time I woke up at 4 in the morning to watch this but totally worth it! Nice one mate. Cheers from New Zealand!
Ooft you are keen ;) Im really glad you think the video was worth the early start. Thanks Buddy
Excellent as always, a nice little trick to help fit a New chain is to leave the old one in sutu and attach the end of new to the old one and pull it through.
Beautiful little Duc. Would love to have one of those one day. Nice job!
As usual the video is perfect and the job you make is brillant. So
... thank you ... and thank you !
Another brilliant video my man, well done!!
Beautiful work! Can’t wait to see what’s next Mate it’s always a pleasure!✌️✌️
Thank you, Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice, what a lovely bike, it sounds great for the size of engine, love the fact you torqued the spark plug as many people wouldn't think of doing it 👍
Nice to see you again :). Yeah it does sound really mean for the size of it, couldn't believe the noise when i fired it up for the first time lol
Im here Im here, was at work and then on a run but man I have been keeeen for this one since i saw it
Nice job once again! 👍 The valve springs look interesting.
Another fantastic job by RRC Restorations! Such nice condition for an older bike. Great work!
Thank you :)
It sound really good and I like how u explaining things , good job
Fantastic work and really enjoyed the extra info in what you are doing, but surely a new chain deserves a new sprocket!
You'd think so but i can only do the work I've been asked to carry out its why i tend not to take on outside work as i don't get the freedom to replace or fix all the bits i think need doing, plus the sprockets are in quite good condition good for a few thousand miles yet.
excellent bike and work my friend.great viewing.
Great job, Can't wait to see what your next project is :)
Very great work as always! Love the content and looking forward to the next video!
Thank you :)
Superb video as always!
Wonderful to watch. I am restoring my bike's tank betweens views. Very encouraging. Deox C is great.
Dear RRC!
Thanks for your supreme vids. I my opinion, less is More,. This upload, shows a delicate balance between fact and ”act”.
Love your dedication and sense for details…pls keep it up.
Greetings from Skåne Sweden
Thank you so much :)
Another awesome restoration. I still can’t understand why with a motorcycle that old and somewhat rare the owner didn’t have a full restoration! It would look pristine and also turn a lot of heads. You are truly a very talented mechanic. I’m so looking forward to the next project!!!!
I can't let you off that easy. You have to show us how you got the final finish on the carb! Beautiful!
Excellent video and very informative thank you 🎉
Slow and steady....Hats off
Top work mate, top work. Truly enjoy your vids. Keep them coming. Thumbs up.
Thanks,Glad you like them! :)
What a great looking little bike and as usual some great work, lovely job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much :)
i'm not listening on phones but even so, the sound is great, you got the a.s.m.r. thing goin on 😉 top notch production 👍
The paint on the tank is beautiful. Great job.
Thank you :)
Quality video with great content. Enjoyed watching that thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Great job and the description is superb. Thanks
Thank you glad you enjoyed it :)
I've no idea why but I definitely thought we were going to get a "to the parts washer!" cut, like in 60s batman 😁
Loving the show, great to have a bit deeper dive into the details
Great video. What a nice little bike. It would be a blast to rip around on. I like the amount of description you added. I'd stick with it the way you're doing it now. Cheers.
Thanks for your comment :)
What a day, first Ronald Finger drops a new video, then this! Couldn't ask for much else today really.
I know, Me and Ronald seem to be quite in sync when it comes to video releases haha. Enjoy :)
I really like the way that carburetor is put together, with the float bowl on the side like that, it seems like it's a lot nicer to service. I wish my old Hondas had carbs like that.
Really great job, and the bike sounds awesome for its size. Cheers. 👍😊
Nice to see you, and yeah it really does sound very mean for its size lol
If you rebuild carbs often, pretty soon you have enough parts left over after reassembly to build a new one purely from those!
Seriously though, the overall standard of Italian automotive engineering from the 1960s was so far ahead of the US, UK & Asia at the time. Those bevel drives and even that simple carb are works of art. And the Bauhaus script on the foot pedal rubber...
Lovely little bike that. Nice work. The newly refurbished tank looks terrific
Thank you very much! :)
Another cool Ducati finished! Keep them coming!
Will do ;)
Great video,
Remember learning to rebuild bikes in the 1970s starting with a Ducati 160 Monza and BSA C15SS. The wire mesh air cleaner is a great idea until it gets soaked in fuel and catches fire when the engine backfires on starting (happened twice to me). The idea behind the twin banjo fuel feed was to run with the fuel tap only open on side of the tank. When you ran out of fuel you just opened up the other side to use up the remaining fuel on the opposite side.
Of course the 160 always sounded good due to the straight through exhaust as standard. Weird ignition system with an hybrid AC magneto supplying the volts for the spark coil and the battery only being used for the brake light, side lights and horn. The headlight bulb was fed directly from the winding on the magneto and so the brightness depended on how fast the engine was running...
I wonder if RAW78H survived? I preferred the all silver fuel tank colour scheme it had though.
Interesting bike, glad to see someone with your ability and knowledge taking care of it, feels like it's in good hands. And again , video production values are very high. And it looks like George is getting through his apprenticeship ok.....
The sound of that engine was amazing.
Another great video roll on the next project. Thank you.
Thanks for watching :)
The first time in my life that i see brake cleaner actually used to clean brake 👌
Keep doing what you do. But the description of the carb strip down, clean and rebuild was invaluable. Thank you.
brilliant video showing detail and close inspection. Tank is beautiful. You can also polish that exhaust usin 0000 steel wool and Mothers Metal polish. It will restore some of the shine. Well done!
Fantastic job Great video looking forward to next one 🇬🇧👍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
That's a true Monza monster that is! ;) nice sound indeed. Good job.
Sunday night treat. Many thanks 🙂
Enjoy :)
Not long found your channel and I'm really enjoying it 👍🏻
Nice one, Glad to have you on board :)
@@RRCRestoration before I became disabled I rode bikes since I was 6 . I've rebuilt them designed streetfighters , was a racer and a spanner man here in Northern Ireland for different race team .
You are like myself everything has to so so done right .
It's a pleasure to watch 👍🏻
Makes me really miss my old 450 Desmo. Good times on a super fun bike :-)
Excellent! I'm sure the owner will be very excited to see her now!
He was delighted to have it back looking and running alot better ;)
Very very very nice motorcicle and job!!!!
Another fantastic video! Love your restoration videos. Good old George, is he on an apprentice wage? 🤣
What a lovely little bike, great video.
Many thanks!
Thanks Jay
Another very interesting video, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
This was right up my alley :-)... Big thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great Work!!👍
That is a cute little scoot that sounds like a monster. Love it!
Such a true statement :)
Sounds awesome!
Extra description is great - much appreciated. You need to watch that George, though....
Haha yeah he's getting a bit cocky around the workshop these days lol
Amazing job....has always 🥰
Great job as always man 👍
Thank you :)
The banjo bolt on the carb with two inlets was soooooo odd to me but very cool!
Italians are an interesting lot when it comes to design
I like the spoken language. Love your work
Great job 👍
Great video, Great motorcycle. Just purchased a running TS125R as a project.
Nice one, that's should make a good little project :)
I appreciate all the different camera angles, that must have taken a fair bit of effort, with the result that it all looks seamless. Some good cutaways there as well - like the one when you took the air cleaner off. I really wanted a road test video though ;)
Thank you very much! yeah it would have been nice to get it out on the road but as its not mine i couldn't really take it out just incase anything happened to it.
