Will It Run? Kawasaki H1 500 Mach III Sitting For 41 Years
This video we return to the abandoned motorcycle in the woods and try to get the engine un stuck & see if we can bring it back to life. It is in a Florida sinkhole in the woods 1 mile from the road.

There's something spiritually lacking in anyone who lets a bike like this rust in the rain.
Uomini senza anima!
Free off the brakes and walk it out, recover it home and strip it down, then restore it from there 👍 great find
Those 2T triples are kinda rare. I’d drag that thing outta there and try to salvage any parts that are still solid.
This bike is legendary. Her big sister H2 was a true widow maker. 2 stroke 750 3 cylinder. Quick as hell back in those days
The H-2 was not as highly tuned as the 1971 500. If the 750 had the tiniest glitch on launch he would not catch me in a 1/4 mile.
@@edarmstrong9389 That's true! The H1 has 60hp and the H2 had 75hp. If the cc for cc output were the same, then the H2 should have 90hp! So, the bigger engine is a softer tuned engine . .
And it was easy to get more power out of the H1 by changing manifolding and exhaust baffling and ignition timing, but that ALSO took away even MORE low speed torque than ever, making the H1 then a 5,000 to 7,500rpm ROCKET!
I once back in the day, approx 1973, I rode a friends 500 triple that had been ported, polished and given expansion chambers. It would have run circles around an H-2.@@skippmclovan1135
@@edarmstrong9389unless the H2 had also been tuned, then you wouldn’t see which way it went!
I would love to see a resto video on this. Anything can be fixed if you throw enough money at it.(white vinegar down in the cylinders will eat up that rust. Or Evapo-rust.)
drag it out of there and a motorcycle guy will give you a couple of hundred bucks for it before you destroy it. that bike is a collectors item and needs a delicate touch.
This bike is very rare and fast had one in the 90s this bike need taken out the woods I'll come get it lol
I really hope you’re able to get an ATV get back there get it loaded up and get it out. This is a legendary motorcycle with a crazy following. These parts are worth a fortune
Agreed, I have a ‘73. They have a huge following and worth a pretty penny, even in that state
I have restored worse than that and turned them into show winners, but it's a LOT of patience and hard work!
Man is that "Kow" in rough shape! Flash back: My dad.bought the first Mach Three, imported to Canada in 1969 (Korcan Motor Cycle, Vancouver British Columbia) He bought it, rode it, and raced it. Then my oldest brother started racing at 16, at which that was his first race bike. (Westwood Motorsport Park) When I got my bike license in 1976, I road it. That thing was stupid fast fun Also to mention, that thing vibrated so bad, you would lose the blood in your hands! Not very good for long rides as i found out! Anyways, cheers from British Columbia 🇨🇦
wow an original Widowmaker
They are one of the coolest 500 triples ever made, l would have draged that off and done a full strip down and nut and bolt restoration, these old H1 500 triples are now getting very rare and so cool especially with a good set of pipes and KN Filters,can't beat the smell and the sound when it hits the power band on the pipe.
I had 70 h1 then sold it before went in service god bless
They are collectors items now. The parts are worth something, even in bad condition here in the UK.
yep. even in that condition its worth a grand maybe 1500 pounds. . i would be returning with a hand cart and a friend or 2 and get it out and back to the shop.
@@neilgillam9919 me too buddy, it needs a lot but in the right hands she’s a keeper, especially the 69’ before they detuned it.
To be fair, everything slightly interesting is overpriced and "collectible" in the EU. It's a bit like California, in the sense of not being of consideration as far as realistic market values go everywhere else.
It's a very collectable motorcycle. The thing to obviously do is just put it on a cart and get it to the workshop, entirely strip it down, rebuild and replace etc. A huge cost in effort and dollars, but I reckon for this one it's worth it.
You earned my respect just for trying something like that. Especially for it being a 2stroke. No Bueno
Everybody's own vice grip garage type stuff now
The "drive it home" idea is way optimistic. Im skeptical about most in- the - field start ups.
That’s a 69 or 70 Kawasaki 500 h1 ,parts are worth something to the Kawi triple 2stroke guys.
You can sell the parts on eBay too.
I’ve got a H2, 1974, and that H1 would be worth money even as it sits. Save it!!!
I've got a 69h1. The bike in this video needs a complete rebuild to get running.
🤣 APE HANGERS AND HIGHWAY PEGS 😂
Someone was building a CHOPPER 😅
Fella you're a man without a plan. Bring a trailer and a buddy and get it to the shop.
Take it home, strip it down clean EVERYTHING then put it back together.
You couldn't possibly break that bike anymore than it is
I'd be stubborn enough to restore it!!!!
Awesome..these old h1s were amazing. Definitely set the tone for street bikes for years to come! Did you ever get it running? I tried to look your channel for an update but couldn't find one
It's not a Phillips screw head It's a JIS head.
It's a 2stroke pretty cool. Everything rusts in Florida, been here my whole life
My first street bike was an S2 350 triple. Thing was crazy quick in its day.
Had one as well, in Red. 👍🇨🇦
This was awesome!!! Can't wait to catch up w pt 2!!! Out of curiosity what kind & brand of little tool kit was that your using?
definately worth a restoring complete overall
ay quá Phúc ơi, nổi cả da gà luôn nè, thấm vào từng mạch máu
Looks like one of those 3 cylinder 2-strokes , seen one running really well years ago and it was silly fast!
I had the Suzuki GT750 2 stroke triple, seriously quick.😁
Just subscribed. Thank you for the great content
Glad you re visited that bike, she could be fixed with cubic $$$. Thank you for this vid:)
Thanks for watching
You going to have to get to the shop and rebuild from one end to the other
Best start by freeing the wheels off a d moving it to the road Getting unstuck is a workshop job
Nice bike in it's day
Put vinegar or evapo-rust down the cylinders for a couple days and let it eat up the rust like on puddin's Fab shop channel!!! :V the bottom end doesn't look too bad on the inside and i think it would be hilarious seeing you trying to ride that thing out of the woods
Thanks for the tip 👍
Was that Lake Eustis in Florida?
I have the same type of sparkplug in my boat motor. I believe they are for RPMs at sustained distance.
Oh HELL NO! to that spider! I'm so glad we don't have anything like that where I live!(full body shivers)
Get it to the house then fix it.
All that time messing about with the engine when the issue is the wheels? If it can roll it can be moved... somewhere with the right tools. What is needed is a trailer or pickup.
WOW, we worked on a bunch of the triples back in the day. I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel; with this one. Let Mother Nature, finish taking it
Not any more,
Nothing left to save.
You must not watch other youtube will it run video's you have to put marvel mystery oil in the cylinders and it will magically start. A will it run is about you getting it to run.
It's not Phillips, it is JIS which looks like Phillips but the bite is different due to head design. Cool video though!
Bring it home please...
woo 69 should have the bridge port intakes
very desirable year!
For future reference, if ya ever have a project like that again, a few cans of computer duster is a very convenient and lightweight way to bring some compressed air. Also, PB blaster stinks like hell, try the seafoam brand deep creep. Works even better (see project farms video) and has a very light, pleasant smell to it.
Thanks for the tips 👍
I will second the deep creep its awesome
Nothing beats pb blaster...sorry....
@@dopeman420 I'm sorry, but you're objectively mistaken. See project farm and other side by side comparison videos. Aside from which, I keep both on hand, and have never once been unable to break a bolt loose with the deep creep, and then had any better luck after applying PB. So why would you go all fangirl over PB when it stinks like hell? I understand having faith in a brand that has worked well for you, that's all well and good, but let's not take brand loyalty to the point of letting ourselves be deluded that there aren't alternatives that are as good or better.
Try putting it in neutral 😉
Do you ever redo any of the bikes?
I'm stupid if I don't ask if the clutch is working and out of gear ( in neutral )
Hello I also walk in the woods with tools in my backpack :)
Bugger that!! I usually go back for my Tools just Like this bloke did😉
Great video but what you have there is probably a good lawn ornament.
Yes, the machine is desirable. It's a first gen distributor ignition. If not dumped from theft the novice rider probably kicked it up a gear and pinned the throttle thus depositing the humanity and launching into it's current resting point.
u need to drag it to a shop.
Well there's 41 minutes I wish I had back
I don't understand why the owner just did not sell it to someone instead of dumping it.
Some parts on that bike that you could salvage and sell on ebay. The exhaust pipes and mufflers, the gas tank, the carbs and the cylinder head all could be sold for some descent money.
Seeing that spider reminds me why I live where the wind hurts your face
I've seen a few of those old Kristy bikes farmers have found buried in their pastures round here, they bring em to me to work on, my motorcycle/OHV repair business has recently pretty much been fix ancient broken rusty garbage. Got one of those in back that's beyond repair I think, but old bean farmer wants me to try, just money I guess.
I think its Junk, I wouldn't waste my time on it. But if I'm wrong, make a video of it running. Have a great day:-) 👍
Apparently you haven't read the comments. He not has had several people point out that it's a collector's item, and that the parts are worth a fair amount of money, even in their current condition. But also even already has offers to buy it as is!! 😂😂😂😂
Im sure the motorcycle gods smiled at you for your efforts, but damn, some things are better to just walk on by.
That is a very desirable bike, you should go back for it. A restored one can fetch up to 15k, Pull it to a garage and try to make running. Buy some parts if you have to . It Will pay off in the end . Very fast and fun bike to have.
A good example in Australia go for $30k
Smash the chain of get it rolling and tear it down over time great vid
Did you note the engine and frame numbers?
Just the engine on that is work some cash and original h2 500 and exhaust big tip is to put a little diesal down each cylinder and leave fro a day or too and put the plugs back in
Lâu quá rồi mới nghe anh Đức Phúc hát, thích quá đi thôi.
Pull the plugs pour a little marvel mystery oil in cylinders let sit for a bit then try to get it to break free
Ah! Florida man ...
Those motors free spinning are going for about 1500 to 1600 bucks.
The kick start."...is not seized" you removed the funny looking spark plug...try it!
Those are outboard motor plugs.
Take it home don't try to force getting it un stuck until u get home
I owned 2 of these great bikes. But what did he expect to find.........
Where Are the next episode's
The cylinders are done. Transmission fluid fill the cylinders up put the plugs back in let it sit. days and maybe it might turn but rings will break maybe pistons.
surface gap spark plugs. If this is a numbers matching 69 H1 it is worth a bunch the way it is. If it is a '70 it still worth something. The tank is 69 or 70. Over 20 K restored, it is a collectors item
9:27 I found your problem .. It's all that wellington boots fault .. Thats only issue it has lol
That can be brought back
That bike in South Africa would be worth a pretty good amount of money
Probably gonna need new oil tank and gas tank. Put aftermarket plastic on it. Lots of media blasting on that motor too.
Are scrap metal prices worth your time hauling it out?
You got a Goldmine!
Were you really hoping to start it and ride it out of there??
hey, you leave michigan alone XD
the widowmaker yeah
Take it home rebuild it be worth a bob and is very collectable.
Put vinegar down the cylinders
Being the high performance, high revving that this bike was, maybe its a blown engine and that's why abandoned.
Marine 2 stroke surface gap plugs.
I think, pull exhausts and carbs look in cylinder and see what your dealing with.
i have a 1969 kawi 250 scrambler i burried in my back yard back in 1989 there is 2 of them down about 6 feet think they will run
Why would you bury two motorcycles 🤔
I recon drag it out seems like a lost cause but I’d watch another video all hail the algorithm
No way!! She’s got potential Jimi👍🏾👍🏾 she Looks near complete just a seat an air box and a few other odds and ends then start with your resto, I can see so much potential here🤓 would be an awesome project and well worth it… I can’t believe it’s been sitting there so Long and no one’s scooped it up
Id take the engine, completely rebuild it and stuff it into a new frame.
Pls fix that bike
I would like to see it running
Looks like ocala national forest
i wanna know why it was back there. why would someone throw that away?
the 750 watercooled engine will fit in the frame
What?your next restoration video?
