- Desperate times leave me with no other option then to wild camp in an abandoned village. Although the real challenge begins when I wake the next morning to a frozen tuk tuk that won't start. Nothing's easy on three wheels but we like it that way!

I'm an English teacher in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. I show my students your videos the last 10 minutes of class, and every class they ask me if you uploaded a new video and if we can watch a bit. You're an absolute legend.
That’s so wholesome. My heart ❤️🇧🇴 Ill be back in Santa Cruz again eventually. Happy to come past the school with the Tuk Tuk 🙌🏼
Love this series! Can’t wait to watch it weekly for the next 6 years now ❤
Means so so much legend
Thats exactly my plan. Hope He Posts some Interactions with locals
@@MisterSchtief will do, just not always the easiest or the realest with a camera involved
Waking up in Sweden 🇸🇪 every saturday morning to these videos. Keep it up!
No
Jk
Means the absolute most to see comments like these. Thanks legend
I live in Alaska so this might help, depending on if you’re here in winter and temps, you may need a battery heater, oil pan heater, and engine block heater. In milder areas of the state you can get away with just plugging in the engine block heater overnight (if it’s going to be 0F or colder), in some areas you definitely need all three if it’s going to be -25F or colder. I don’t know how much of that applies to a Tuk Tuk, but you may want to look into “winterizing” it.
That’ll definitely be necessary for sure. Cheers legend 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
What a great way to provide inside help, especially because I thought of how they would fare on Alaska!
It sounds like Tori is not getting enough air trough these high altitudes. There are some modification possibilities to compensate for this, some more difucult than others. The easiest would be to modify the airfilter or take it off completly (maybe not the most healthiest) to allow more air to the motor.
Legendary advice. Thanks legend I’ll give it a try
I'm a bit of a silent watcher but just thought i'd let you know that I'm loving the videos, can't wait to follow for journey more!
Thanks so much ya Legend!! Just the support means so much 🙌🏼
Hello mate! For future reference, if you ever want to roll start your tuk tuk in case it's out of battery or something, you're gonna want to do some things differently. From your video, it seemed to me all you did was to get it moving and then just normally trying to start it up, that has no effect! To roll start a manual transmission vehicle, you'll have to get it moving, then press the clutch and engage 1st or 2nd gear (2nd is preferable). After that, when the vehicle has gained enough speed, you'll slowly release the clutch while the ignition is on (you don't have to turn the key all the way to the starter, just the ignition). That should get the engine going, if it doesn't start there might be something else wrong with it. As for cold starts, I'm no expert, since temperatures don't drop too low here in Brazil. All I've ever done is make sure the carburetor is primed, wether by manually adding fuel to the body of the carb or using the choke. It seemed to me your tuk tuk just wasn't primed, maybe because you parked it on a hill. Does it have a choke?
That’s some really solid tips mate. I now know for next time 🙌🏼 It’s got a choke yeah but also got no clue how to use it to prime/start the vehicle. #allthegearnoidea 🤣
Dead on. We would hard release the clutch though. Turning the key while rolling will make no difference to my knowledge.
Just a tip when roll starting, get yourself rolling to about the speed of first gear pull the clutch in and put her in first then release the clutch and give her some gas. If you are rolling faster than first gear then you need to let the clutch out in second gear. No need to use the starter when roll starting
I didn’t know but I know now. Thanks bro
@@aussieespanol my pleasure! Anything to help you succeed on this epic journey !
Legend mate
You actually need less airflow at altitude to maintain the same fuel to air ratio because there is less air at high altitude. You’d think you’d need more air because there is less air but the engines pull less air to begin with at higher altitude so to maintain the proper vacuum you need less airflow from the smaller jet.
Oh wow cheers Legend!! Thanks so much for that 🙌🏼
Hey dude! Cheering on in Australia, it’s brave people like you who really inspire me to travel and explore. Hope everything is going well for you and Patti, good luck on all your travels!!
Thanks so much legend 🙌🏼 glad you like the content
These videos are amazing,you deserve waay more views
Appreciate that comment legend. I have trust in the process but just grateful for the views I’m already getting 🙌🏼
Cool, time for my weekly Patti update. Yes, you need to re-jet your carby that high. Another great video.
You know it legend! 🙌🏼
If the food is suitable for Patti, it's suitable for Ryan! She deserves the best! Safe travels!
BAHAHHA too true
Cartagena Colombia to Panama is about an 18 hour ferry ride. Hopefully a subscriber lets you camp in their house at Cartagena. It's not a very safe place to sleep outside. Wishing you both a amazing travel!
Appreciate the wisdom mate 🙌🏼🙌🏼
all the best from Ukraine and Thailand amigo! Don't' forget to put more locals and their way of living!
For sure!! Great idea mate
Great Video keep it up!!!
Appreciate youuu
I Hope u are doing fine . Ur videos are the bests in TH-cam. Ur gonna be big just remember my words
This means so flippin much Legend!! Thanks so much for the support 🙌🏼!
Yes another video! ✌🏼Legends!
Woohoo! Appreciate you
G'day from Australia
That "little gold screw" is called a main jet 😋
Depending on the type of carburettor, there could also be a needle with notches and a circlip
By adjusting the position of the circlip, you adjust the height of the needle, which might also help with the altitude
Cheers
You might’ve just saved me. Mechanic issues have gotten worse since. Next vid is a barrel of laughs nonetheless
I have reasonable mechanical knowledge
You're always welcome to ask me questions or send me photos to comment on
Cheers
Basically the engine needs more air
Can you modify the airbox to let more air into the filter
Make sure the filter is clean
Fitting a new main jet of the correct size will increase the air ratio of the fuel mixture being burn when your foot is flat on the throttle
Lifting the needle also helps with this
I believe the screws you're playing with on the sidexare air mixture screw (which you're maxing out the amount of adjustment and is why you need the bigger jet) and idle screw to try to smooth it out
On tuk tuk UK TH-cam channel, there's an how to adjust carburettor video from 5 years ago (google result)
Two screws on the side of the carburettor
The lower one closer to you is to introduce more fuel by turning it anticlockwise (out) a quarter of a turn at a time
The higher one further away is the idle screw, you increase the idle speed by turning it clockwise a quarter of a turn at a time
I may be wrong but the screw that you adjusted was the just the idle screw which adjusts how much high it idles. This will not change how well it runs normally. Carburettors are something to get used to.
This is a far more helpful then the recommendation the mechanics were giving me. You’re a legend mate
@@aussieespanol More than willing to help man!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
100% recommend getting a portable battery jump pack, I've had an Audew (Portable 2000a Peak 20000mAh Auto Battery Jump Starter, absolutely tiny) for years and it has started big pickups without breaking a sweat and can charge any device you have. Super handy and helped me out of a jam so many times riding around on shitty classic bikes. (no more worrying about draining the battery trying to start is worth it in itself)
Yeah that’ll absolutely be the go 🙌🏼
That was my ultimate goal.using a tuktuk. Take care.
It’s pretty wild for sure 😂
Would be nice if you install a small turbo with a 0.9bar, that will be great for altitudes.
Mate that sounds like the go 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
best content ive seen ❤
Cheers for that you legend
Yet another banger video :D
Just glad you enjoy it legend
Dude you need a battery upgrade. Being stranded in the middle of nowhere will be no joke and cold starts will take their toll on the stock battery.
Ha! You have my anxiety peaked and you haven't even started lol! It's like a cliff hanger every episode. Any thoughts on how you'll traverse the Darien Gap?
Bahahah that’s funny as. As for the Darien, Im gonna get the tuk tuk through with a crew of local legends and a dream 🙌🏼 wish me luck
Man I am fully invested. The fact that your mechanic skills have room for improvement makes this even better. Education by experience. Trial by fire 🔥 !
@@BigJimDenver thats lifes motto. yewww on route
How are you going to cross the Darien Gap?
Can Patti understand commands in English and Spanish?
Im gonna get the tuk tuk through with a crew of local legends and a dream 🙌🏼 wish me luck. For now I’m only solidifying her English commands to keep her less confused and that way she also doesn’t hear them in daily Spanish conversation
@@aussieespanol thank you! Best of luck!
🤙🏼🛺💨
I wonder if the gasoline cooled off in the gas tank & created a vacuum in the tank, try simply taking the gas cap off & let the air pressure equalize of a few seconds in the tank..
That’s genius!!
The Bolivian people are the salt of the earth aren't they bro.
Legend
Tryna be like you 🙌🏼
Sir, your carburetor setting may not be right. Check with bajaj service online for correct idle mixture setting for different altitudes.
You are running too rich. Try tightening the idle mixture screw ( the one recessed) to full tight and half turn out. Tighter, leaner the mixture.
Change the air filter as well
Great idea mate. Cheers legend 🙌🏼
Maybe you should mount a camera in the tuk tuk. Crotch cam is fun but this would probably be easier lol
Agreed. I need to get something to snap lock the camera. Gear like that looks only possible to buy in Chile so there might be a few more clips like that until I get it sorted
La próxima vez bajá la colina con el motor en contacto, en primera marcha, con el embrague apretado y sueltalo suavemente. No tenés que ir dandole arranque mientras descendes, eso no sirve
No way in hell i let my dog near the edge off a fking cliff,nuce job, other than that ,great journey
As an Irish man I have to ask, is that an Irish flag or Italian flag at the back of the tuk tuk 😂 and if its Irish why represent? 🫡😂
do you know what is better then a guard dog in latin america ? a chankla !
You asked to change your oil every 1,000 k,m but you drive already 2000 whatever so you have to change your oil
That’s it mate. Already on it 🙌🏼
Is it just me, or is that NOT how you roll start…?
Does that tuk tuk even have a real clutch, or is it centrifugal?
@@robbaskerville253 good point. I have no idea lol
Can confirm rolling start creates no benefit 😅
Roll start only works in a manual gearbox vehicle
Turn ignition on
Put it in second gear with foot on clutch
Roll down hill
Release clutch
Which will turn engine over
(Like the starter motor does)
Until the engine fires up
This can't be done in an automatic transmission vehicle or with an auto centrifugal clutch
Cheers
He didn't have it in gear, tuk tuks have a gear box like normal motorcycles. I left a comment letting him know how to do a proper rollstart
make shure to warm up engine before you start driving, wait 5-10 minutes, sam when you stop driving, wait 5-10 minutes than stop the engine
For sure. Solid idea 🙌🏼
rolling start = push it down hill, put it in to second gear and release the clutch.
Yep I had no idea what I was doing at that point. Cheers legend 😂🙌🏼
make shure you do a regular oil change, this can effect your engine performance
Solid stuff. Planning to do the next oil change in a couple of days
convert your tuk tuk that you can sleep in it. make foldable chairs.
That’ll be the go!!
you will destroy your engine :/
