Hello Everyone!
They call me Mechanic Kid. I'm a self taught "mechanic" who loves bringing forgotten projects back to life. My passion is 1970s & 80s cars and mini bike. More specifically Honda Civics and CT70s!
While working on a budget I try to buy, fix, and sell collectibles that are left to rot in the West Coast.
I have a collection of 15+ mini bike/mopeds, 4 cars, and many small engines! I will try to keep the videos coming as I hope you learn something from my videos and enjoy some of my sought after finds I've found over the years. Please Subscribe and show your support. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see on my channel, just leave it in the comments and I'll be sure to get back to you!

$100 Honda Spree NQ50 - Restoration
🔧 Restoring a $100 Honda Spree NC50 | Getting it Running Again! 🔧
Welcome to my channel! In this video, I take you through the restoration journey of a classic Honda Spree NC50 that I snagged for just $100 on Facebook Marketplace. Join me as I roll up my sleeves and breathe new life into this vintage scooter.
What you'll see in this video:
🛠 Cleaning the Carburetor: The first step to getting any non-running scooter back on the road is tackling the carburetor. I show you the step-by-step process of disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling the carburetor to ensure optimal fuel delivery.
🔧 Cleaning the Exhaust Pipe: A crucial part of engine performance is a clear exhaust path. I demonstrate how I clean out the exhaust pipe to remove built-up carbon and debris, allowing the engine to breathe freely once again.
🔥 Getting the Bike Running: After all the cleaning and reassembly, the moment of truth arrives. I fire up the Honda Spree NC50 and share the excitement of hearing it purr back to life. Witness the satisfaction of a successful restoration!

Those oil pumps can fail and you don’t know it until your engine seizes up. Good call deleting it.
Just picked up a 79 NC50, blue 1200 miles. Missing the carb, air cleaner, kick lever, fenders and brake light. Should be a good project!!
Where do you find all these sick cars!?!! This is my dream car.
Hell yes. Saw the charger in the Honda spree video and was drooling.
My 83 Honda 80cc Mascot is a daily driver
😂😂😅 sounds like slightly angy weed-whacker.
That’s not an 85. It’s 83 or 84
Funny I have the same car and need it to clean
I had a regrettable experience crashing my friends BRAND NEW Spree back in the 80's. We were 16-ish. I feel terrible I never offered to fix it! Sorry JS from MC

Don you know what size jet you have?

Hi bro I have a Derby 50cc 2-stroke that was running smoothly before my vacation. I went away for a week, and now it won't start, unfortunately. There is compression in the cylinder, and the spark plug is sparking. I disassembled and thoroughly cleaned the carburetor and the air filter. I've done all the basic checks. Do you have any advice on what to look at or do next? (Note: I injected fuel directly into the cylinder under the spark plug. The engine starts normally for a few seconds and then dies)
@@basharshigry1706 Carburetor needs to be cleaned. You could also hand choke it by removing the air cleaner and cover 3/4th of the opening of the carburetor with your hand while trying to start the engine. This will pull fuel down and help it start.
If you motor swap a Honda dio motor it would be the fastest lightest bike you ever had.
Thanks. I will try this.
I had one as a kid and it always started no matter what I rode the piss out of it I used it like a mini bike and even took it through some Trails never had a problem
Are these just gas or oil and gas mix
I wanted one of those so badly when I was a kid and saw them brand new on the show floor at my local bike dealership.
I think I need some new belt
How do you dry it?
Does it have to be plugged in while using it or can u charge it up and use it after
@@karlafreeasabird5779 must be plugged in to use
Good job
Reminds me of my GT, same year, same color :)
MORE VIDEOS! We missed you
@@VinnieCskate I’m going to try and start posting more regularly again. Doing it for people like you. Thanks!
I have a 83 GTS notch back 22RE and i drive it to work at 4 days a week manual life forever...
You should do a restoration project on like a vintage lawnmower from the 70’s or so, would be cool! Also keep up the good work!
You mentioned selling it.. does it have a title?
well done
Nice find. Cleaned up pretty well also.
I found one of these in a dump, just yesterday. Tank wasn’t rusty or gooey and the slightly old fuel hadn’t turned radioactive yet. I figured if anything ends up in a landfill or a wrecker there’s a reason for it, right? Surely the last person who tried to bring it back wouldn’t give up for no reason. Got it for free out of the dump and it was a little dry seized but some elbow grease on the fly wheel and it freed right up, some oil in the cylinder and a cleanup of the bowl and jets, she came right to left. Straight from the dump first look at it and it already had consistent spark. Why would anyone throw something like this out, even if it didn’t run like why. I have no idea why it was in there the Italian brand(maybe original or close to) tires even hold air. It needs a seat and a brake refurbish, an over all cleanup and tuneup and it’s mint. Totally free.
@@outdoordaily6463 nice!!😎👊🏼
What did you clean it with?
so are you able to get started this summer?
Well done- I’m doing the same in UK to my 1976 rubber bumper mgbgt
You got a great collection so cool
That’s a score
Dude, I'm so impressed! I wish I knew this much about cars/mechanical stuff at your age. Keep up the good work!
The easiest way to remove a caliper piston is to pop it out before you unhook it from the hydraulic system. Putting it in a vice and trying to blow compressed air in it is futile. Also, I've seen people damage the piston by blowing it out with compressed air and smashing it against another piece of metal if you are going to do so, place a small block of wood in there to cushion the blow of the impact.
Set of spark plugs might help. But hearing that engine. I think it’s due for a hone and a set of piston rings.
I had one of these back in 2003 they're pretty fast
Just swap out that junk put sbc 350 and a 4 or 5 speed trans 9 inch rear 373 gear then have fun
Generic, rookie move. Atleast use a toyota or lexus v8. Its a common coversion.
You got a dead cylinder, bud
Better than any new toyota
Why didn't you change the oil? The spark plugs? Did you drain and get new fuel?
Check that misfire!!!
right? lmao It's a 3 cylinder
@@billymanilli extra fuel savings 😂💀
Thanks, this helped
I have mine from my 12th birthday trying to decide if I can do this myself😮 All the age is just from sitting in my basement.
I don’t profess to know a ton about cars, but I feel like checking the oil probably should’ve come at some point before part 10!😂
I like those. Looks amazingly like a certain year mustang.
Whattttttt………
Hello. Nice channel. I learned some things gs. Are you going to make full videos again, please? Thank you
