Mustie you’re definitely a unique guy and I mean that in the best possible way . I’ve watched numerous videos and I admire that you don’t half ass anything. Not sure what your background is in mechanics but it’s completely satisfying to watch you bring damn near everything you touch back to life.Wholesome , entertaining videos with no unnecessary cussing and you include your audience. Keep em coming!!
Oh, the memories! I purchased one of those brand new in the 1980's for my kids to push a 12' aluminium (aluminum) dinghy around on the harbour (harbor) :). They had so much fun - the big thing to remember was to open the air vent on the fuel cap - or you would stop unexpectedly. Starting it was fun - as you pointed out - it is a direct drive so when it started you were underway. The kids soon learnt to push off from the beach, bow first, hop aboard and start her up.
Honda small engine power kills just about everyone else and has been doing it for a long time. I just noticed you're at 274K subs, Mustie! I seem to remember just yesterday you were hanging at 13K or so. I'm so glad to see people are "getting" and enjoying your channel, and I can't think of any other that deserves your phenomenal growth more. Thanks, man!!
Agreed. I just picked up an old 2003 Honda mower that had been sitting for over 3 years and all I had to do was drain the varnished gas and clean the carb good and it fired right up. No issues with quality of parts or spark
@Baron Marseille I hear ya, Baron. I can still get parts but they're not that cheap. Oh and good luck finding a qualified Honda small engine repair guy in or out of warranty--the last one in my area retired and closed his business in 2005.
Its great being able to watch the Master at work. He explains everything, corrects himself and admits when he made a mistake which is rare. No BS and a very family friendly channel. Its great to have kids of all ages watching 'n learning.
I had one of those back in 1989. Mine was 4,5HP. Ran for 5 hours on the built in tank in the ocean. Very nice, always started on the second pull. Only needed choke in -20 degrees celcius. Love that boat for $390.... :)
I really appreciate the way that you deliver your commentary. It is almost as if I am in the shop with you and you are talking to me. Whenever you make a mistake or have an accident you just laugh it off and continue on - great way to make it through the day and have a long life. Loved seeing your dog.
I have a 1964 6hp Montgomery wards sea king that has only been ran 6 times in its entire life. It's pretty much a wall piece and still has factory spark plugs in it and still has the paint on them also. Great little motor
Just recently found your channel. I love how it feels like I'm listening to your thought process as you sort out what to do to get the gear running again. Additionally it's so great how you include us as as participants in the video. Thanks Mustie.
Two things 1) i'm ashamed to throw anything out now 2) watching zillow in case any of your neighbors move out, i'm in....love your videos, keep them coming
Mustie, I'm typically not an engine kinda guy but, I am fascinated by the way you methodically go through the processes of how to get an engine/motor to run. You, my friend have taught me patience and I thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Get yourself a 45 gallon drum, Put your outboards in to run them up, Throw in some soap you got a home made washing tub. Yet another great video. Thanks from over the pond. (UK).
Uh, make it more of a challenge will ya MUSTIE????????????????????? Have a little drama or at least have the outboard fall off the stand and go zipping around the garage like in the 'toons.........................
The red Karmann Ghia brought back some great memories for me. It was my first car. Bought it in N.J. and drove it to Florida. When I went to install a new radio Inside the fuse box, all I could find was 6 volts. 1966 was the last year they did that. So, the radio ran off of a little 12 volt Ni-Cad battery. It worked real well! Using 6 volts in Florida was no big deal, because it never gets below 40 degrees. I sure loved that car.
for somebody as old as Mustie 1 is (55), he stills gets her done...the dog wash was neat gots to show some love to your #1 buddy, thanks for making my Sunday morning a Mustie 1ride along...i know the big show is comin, yes
Doin the same, but i think i'll have to do SOMETHING productive....later. My brother just teted me ..that he's at a VW show and so is Mustie.... weather looks fine in the ME/NH area
I have followed your videos for a while and like the pace that you use. I don't think you are too fast and therefore hard to follow. And you do present as ridiculously slow. Your pacing is spot on.
Nope it’s an engine. As some one said before a motor is an electric motor. Great videos tho love how you bring these old engines back to life. Same as us in the uk call a wrist pin a gudgeon pin
I have had a plastic deck Honda HRX lawn mower since 2006. It's NEVER failed me. I noticed last year it'd idle but hunt so this spring I took the carb off, sprayed it out, and reassembled. Good as new! I paid 800 bucks for it in 2006 (not cheap) and I remember asking the guy at the Honda dealer (no big box store for me) if he thought it'd last me 10+ years. lol Dumb question!
yup harmony 215. $115 second hand store. $10 carb replacement and governor spring adjustment. back wheels are kind of binding at the moment. probably just need fresh lube.
Great video as always. Quick tip you can tape or tie with some string, some heavy plastic, like a piece of old tarp, down the side of the shaft where the water outlet/exhaust is, then just leave it drape down over the water outlet into the bucket, it stops the water from going everywhere and recycles it back into the one bucket. You can get away with using duck tape to make a little redirect for the water/exhaust outlet.
Eric thanks buddy! I worked for a few months as a mechanic with a guy in his 60s and he showed me alot but there isnt alot of money in it unless you do you full time on your own
@@DYLANTRIES do your training, work for someone else until you get comfortable with your skills then do it on your own, you're still young enough to make it happen.
I work at a boat yard in maine. Love these old Hondas. Carbs are easy to clean,but normally don't have to they just run. Change gear oil and fuel lines.
Some of the various small engine repair manuals have diagrams showing how to tie a knot for the starter handles. The way you did it results in too small a knot that will eventually just pull through the handle. Wish I could describe it but, a diagram is worth a thousand words. Love your videos. Please keep making them.
I had a 1974 Celica ST! I loved that car! I got it used when it was nearly 20 years old. Converted it from a 4 speed to a 5 speed. It was very nice to drive and very attractive styling. It's the one car from my 'youth' that I'd love to have again.
I think the gas cap has a breather that needs to be unscrewed to prevent a vacuum in the tank. It’s screwed back in so the tank doesn’t leak when it’s moved.
they did this on my 88 fourtrax. says on/off but theres a petcock below the tank and it doesnt lock the gas cap so my conclusion was leak prevention if the float needle fails to stop the flow. my honda harmony 215 has a throttle actuated fuel shut off valve.
Wow, ‘88 FourTrax! I got an ‘86 250cc in ‘89 as an 11yr old & it changed my life. I’d pull my Coleman Scanoe (w Minn-Kota) on a trailer (with the 250) with my buddy on the back to any pond/lake/river that we could get to, to fish and explore. I felt that I had life figured out!...except for the ON/OFF Selector of the Fuel Cap. 30 years later I realize what it was meant for from a fellow Mustie1 fan. The 250 is still at my folk’s farm under a shed roof of their main stable. I want to restore it. I need to restore it. I HAVE to restore it, as I still have the Scanoe & Trailer at my home, so: HONDAs make me happy. It’s no surprise that Mustie’s “stolen” outboard fires right up & pumped water above a spinning prop.
Hey Mustie, I have a band instrument repair shop in my garage and, while my "wrenching" is a bit different than yours, the principles are largely the same. Diagnosis and problem solving. You have inspired me to take more care of my tools and really get my shop into shape. I thought that we also share the hoarder mentality that pays off in the end. I just need to be careful not to get too ahead of myself and get into fixing the stuff in my shed when I have horns to fix. WRENCH ON!!!!
He certainly is good at inspiring confidence and increasing competence. I have absolutely been able to do things that I would not have even tried without my education at Mustie University.
I just bought one of these today.. Tried in the back yard just to see how it works. Started in the first try. Looks pretty strong and sturdy. Cannot wait to go to a lake and have fun with it!
Honda engine's or motors are very dependable, that's why you own one to do most of your tasks, fun and work. I have a Honda engine that has a John Deere garden tiller mounted on it. I call it my Hondeere ;-)
Note here from across the pond here in old England. Keep up the good work. Love watching your vids and have learnt some good stuff. Pulled out my old Norton Villiers Minigen (1973 ish) and pulled it apart and cleaned it and replaced a few parts. All running now and looking for next project to be getting on with. Thanks..
Great video again bud. We in the UK call them both split pins and cotter pins. Loved the makeshift pond, but I think you dribble over your floor a bit haha. A few of the counties hear, have designated the their lakes combustible fuel free, so electric motors only. Oh and I was always taught that if it's combustion it's an engine, if it electric it's a motor lol.
When you retire I want your spot! Love these videos. I go through life the same way. Looking at every heap on the curbside thinking "I bet I could get that to fire up again" LOL!
Hey Mustie as a kite boarder I get plenty of unwanted knots in my lines which weaken them The trick for releasing a very tight knot is to place the line on a hard turface and hit the knot lightly with a hammer turning the knot until it loosens. Works like a charm just like your honda!
Ah what a morning, waking up early to walk my girl to her car. Not sure if I'll stay up and be productive or go back to bed for a little bit, but what I do know is that I'm watchin a mustie video
I have the same one. Came off a bumper boat ride...mint still had the plastic film on the stickers. I believe it is 2 hp, there is a restriction plate under the carb that might give you more power if you remove it. That is a sight glass and it is for the oil. Change the drive pin in the prop with one that will break easily and it will save your prop one day (learned that one the hard way). I replaced the kill switch with a toggle switch because you have to hold the original switch until the motor completely stops or it will light up again and you'll crash into something! Water pump might need to be replaced, engine is not water cooled just the exhaust leg. Gas cap has a vent you need to unscrew to let air in. I always run gas with a bit of two cycle oil in mine. You scored on this motor.
BF2AK 2 hp SD (short Shaft) 1989 BAEE-1100001(engine #) BAES-1100001(frame #) Direct drive (no neutral, no clutch) air cooled motor water cooled exhaust.
found a 1998 yamaha 2hp two stroke for $20 at a yardsale last weekend. it was covered in dust but after a clean up and cleaning the carb she fired up and looks great. its so satisfying.
My missus: "Honey, the new GoT is starting!" Me: "Tape it! Mustie's just posted a new video!" Go Mustie! All the way down here in Oz, I have enjoyed every single one of your videos and am an ardent fan! Love your work, and your style.
@FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN Yes...slang or custom and usage. Over time AW-strailia became OZZ-stralia & the wonderful people there are "OZ-zies". Or it could be they are huge Ozzy Osbourne fans!!
Greetings from WA I am like you a true Mustie1 devotee, I wonder if he reads this stuff and realizes his popularity I too have watched every one, and dont bother with others. just wait for his next vid, all the best.
I like being one of mustie1's little helpers.... even though, I can't hold a flashlight, or a wrench... or tell him when the oil meets the line. Thanks, buddy.
I checked the serial number its a 2 hp engine. Looked at the owners manual available on line shud have 10w-40 for a wider outside temp range. Oh the anode is standard equipment,
12:35 Cotter Key / Split Pin.... where I come from, well at least when I was growing up around my mechanic Dad, we call it a Cotter Pin... Kinda made me smile when you said "Cotter Key, or as you say over the pond... split pin" - I am "over the pond" as well - although the Pacific pond rather than the Atlantic pond! (New Zealand)... but we are a British colony country so yeah... cotter pin to us...
Hi chap. great video, and nice find. These are a lovely little motor. I noticed you did not change the impeller. As the motor has sat for a long time, I would stay that will be now hard, brittle and due to fail. Also when you are running the motor in a bucket I like to put a squirt of dashwash in the water as that helps break down any salt deposits built up within the cooling system. Take care, I hope that helps, Duncan
Yes Honda do make good units, I believe the Honda Civic/Accord cars are Good, ( unsure about their others ) I have a 2020 Honda motorbike, they Do Build Good Quality!! This one sounded sweet running and will serve a small boat for many more years!!
Mustie1, the best tool for picking out tight knots is a whine bottle cork screw. Work it into the knot where the rope crosses itself. This works on nylon straps too. Hope this helps some people
You lucky dog, that's when they had the better carbs, and I've been looking for one of those. Have come across ones slightly larger around here..with people who want like $1200 for them, but I need a small one like that for my small duck boat, had been running it w/a 1958 Chrysler mtr.,which runs like a top, but a friend knocked a pole digger onto it and it broke the fuel cap,have yet to find a replacement.Would have replaced that fuel line though ;) Lil says she takes a bath at the cabin every yr...and that's good enough! Would have bought that boat, even if it's the last thing I need to add another around here!
JimTheSoundman: Watch some of his other vid's...He lives around some absolute morons! That's a $300 motor; $400.00 in the middle of summer, and your boat is stuck on the lake...
I'm doing a boat motor myself. A Yamaha 2 stroke 3 cylinder with 3 carbs 60HP. So I was wondering about the filling transmission fluid from the bottom and not the top. And you gave me the answer to why. Thank you good sir. Nice video, to bad it was not in worst condition :)
Oil floats on water ;) And it was nice to see an old Honda outboard getting a new lease on life. It seems this one was well taken care of because it ran WAY better than I expected with almost no work :)
Man I want to go there. How are you guys holding up with all the anti-gun crap shoved down your throat? Were the hunters really supporting the confiscation? They will be coming for your shotties next.
@@ocavant Shit is hitting the fan. A crim walked into a police station up nth in Parmerston Nth and walked out with 14 or 15 handed in firearms lol. Plus taxpayers are going to be coughing up with buy back for years & years.. Millions & Millions. Alot of hunters are not happy at all but if your a proper hunter/ stalker you only need one shot. Pest cullers should be able to have large mags. Only rim fire .22 are allowed 10 shot mags. 5 shot mag in 12 gauge etc. Bed here if you need one...
I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH I ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. PARDON THE CAP LOCK. IT IS 44 DEGREES WHERE I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA SO ONE HAND HAS MY MORNING CUP OF COFFEE AND I TYPE WITH MY FREE HAND. PEACE MY FRIEND, LOU G.

Definitely split pin , cotter pin is tapered pin with nut on end that holds cranks onto BB on older bicycles.
Love that old Honda outboard 👍
Just recently found your channel. I love how it feels like I'm listening to your thought process as you sort out what to do to get the gear running again. Additionally it's so great how you include us as as participants in the video. Thanks Mustie.
Mustie's laugh brightens my day every time. Thank you, buddy.
every time mustie laughs when working on something, I'm certain i would be cussing or throwing something
Two things 1) i'm ashamed to throw anything out now 2) watching zillow in case any of your neighbors move out, i'm in....love your videos, keep them coming
Just found this channel a few weeks ago and love it. I’m a restoration fan but your skills are top notch and your commentary is well balanced.
Mustie, I'm typically not an engine kinda guy but, I am fascinated by the way you methodically go through the processes of how to get an engine/motor to run. You, my friend have taught me patience and I thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Get yourself a 45 gallon drum,
Put your outboards in to run them up,
Throw in some soap you got a home made washing tub.
Yet another great video.
Thanks from over the pond. (UK).
One of my favorite channels to watch. Please keep doing what you do.
Uh, make it more of a challenge will ya MUSTIE????????????????????? Have a little drama or at least have the outboard fall off the stand and go zipping around the garage like in the 'toons.........................
Thanks for your calming effect. Love these resto vids.
I had one of those for a couple of years on a little hard dinghy. Happiest little engine ever.
Yay! A Lilly appearance. Woof!
As usual, an excellent Mustie score. Neat little tutorial.
Thanks.
The red Karmann Ghia brought back some great memories for me. It was my first car. Bought it in N.J. and drove it to Florida. When I went to install a new radio Inside the fuse box, all I could find was 6 volts. 1966 was the last year they did that. So, the radio ran off of a little 12 volt Ni-Cad battery. It worked real well! Using 6 volts in Florida was no big deal, because it never gets below 40 degrees. I sure loved that car.
I like you give old good things a secound life! And i love to see you restore all parts aswell - Nice

Day off, house to myself and a new Mustie video...
😊
same as best day ive had in a long time
dont go pullin your hog out
Get a large coffee and settle back.

Is that the same as "roughing up the suspect"? 🤔 💦
How funny! That's what I'm working right now. 1973 Toyota celica ST manual transmission 4 speed! Never gets old! ! They run forever

Go study small engine repair and go for it. most of the guys doing it are getting to the age of retirement.

Good old dog. Reminds me of my grandpa’s black labs. He had three maybe four over the years.
Mustie's tinkering is very therapeutic to watch!
very calming yet this one had not drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! needs more fire belching and open exhaust for effect................................
As things were going so well, I wondered if you were a little disappointed. You answered that at the end. cool.

this old type still has an impeller indeed. needs water for test run. new one with auto clutch is fully air cooled.
found a 1998 yamaha 2hp two stroke for $20 at a yardsale last weekend. it was covered in dust but after a clean up and cleaning the carb she fired up and looks great. its so satisfying.
You have influenced me, I’m more confident working with small engines! Thank you,
Amazing how a few curves really improved the looks of that boat.
My missus: "Honey, the new GoT is starting!"
Me: "Tape it! Mustie's just posted a new video!"
Go Mustie! All the way down here in Oz, I have enjoyed every single one of your videos and am an ardent fan! Love your work, and your style.
GoT isn't even worth taping.
@FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN Oztralia. Don't mind it its full of snakes and spiders and coal minors named Sue.
@FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN oz means Australia
@FRIENDLY JAPANESE BUSINESSMAN Yes...slang or custom and usage. Over time AW-strailia became OZZ-stralia & the wonderful people there are "OZ-zies". Or it could be they are huge Ozzy Osbourne fans!!
Greetings from WA I am like you a true Mustie1 devotee, I wonder if he reads this stuff and realizes his popularity
I too have watched every one, and dont bother with others. just wait for his next vid, all the best.
Always being a Yamaha guy myself, you've given me a new respect for Honda engines. Those suckers last. Thanks Mustie
"Well, I'm just about to do some useful thing around the house on a Sunday.... *PLING*.... or not!"
*sits down again*
Same 😂
Me too. Watching Mustie1 or... cleaning the backyard, leafs, doggie poop... Aaah, Mustie1 wins. As atways. 😊
Yep, same here. There is always tomorrow. And if tomorrow doesn't come then I haven't cleaned the yard for nothing.
I like being one of mustie1's little helpers.... even though, I can't hold a flashlight, or a wrench... or tell him when the oil meets the line. Thanks, buddy.
I checked the serial number its a 2 hp engine. Looked at the owners manual available on line shud have 10w-40 for a wider outside temp range. Oh the anode is standard equipment,
Wow this is why I love the old Honda's so much
12:35 Cotter Key / Split Pin.... where I come from, well at least when I was growing up around my mechanic Dad, we call it a Cotter Pin... Kinda made me smile when you said "Cotter Key, or as you say over the pond... split pin" - I am "over the pond" as well - although the Pacific pond rather than the Atlantic pond! (New Zealand)... but we are a British colony country so yeah... cotter pin to us...
Agreed - brought up in NZ and it was a cotter pin - here in 'little America' (Australia) they laugh at me and insist it is a split pin.
Fun video Mustie. We used to use a 50 gal drum to work on outboards. I've never seen a 5 gal bucket used before but it works....
milky gear oil means water for sure. usually fishing line gets behind prop, violates that seal.
Came to say that lol
Great to see that it didn't take much to get it back running.
Oh yeah, no question of " will it run?"!
:-D
Nice boat at the end, the diesel would be a little heavy for it, but would make a nice project!
;-)
Honestly love these videos, you teach a lot least for me to have an understanding of small engines! Great videos keep it up!
I used to have one of these and make sure you open the gas tank vent on top, learned that the hard way
Hi chap. great video, and nice find. These are a lovely little motor. I noticed you did not change the impeller. As the motor has sat for a long time, I would stay that will be now hard, brittle and due to fail. Also when you are running the motor in a bucket I like to put a squirt of dashwash in the water as that helps break down any salt deposits built up within the cooling system. Take care, I hope that helps, Duncan
I was watching blancpain gt but this is much better !!! for a sunday morning
Sorry Musti, but no way this is better than a GT race!
That's a nice ct70 it was my favorite trail bike when I was a kid, always ran perfect. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
An homage to Tom and Ray! Mechanics and their boats! Thanks!
Great videos it’s like watching your best friend working on something ... learned a lot keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That Trail 70 looks so proud now.
Yes Honda do make good units, I believe the Honda Civic/Accord cars are Good, ( unsure about their others ) I have a 2020 Honda motorbike, they Do Build Good Quality!! This one sounded sweet running and will serve a small boat for many more years!!
Water sits below the oil. But often on outboard lower ends it emulsifies into the oil.
Mustie1, the best tool for picking out tight knots is a whine bottle cork screw. Work it into the knot where the rope crosses itself. This works on nylon straps too. Hope this helps some people
You lucky dog, that's when they had the better carbs, and I've been looking for one of those. Have come across ones slightly larger around here..with people who want like $1200 for them, but I need a small one like that for my small duck boat, had been running it w/a 1958 Chrysler mtr.,which runs like a top, but a friend knocked a pole digger onto it and it broke the fuel cap,have yet to find a replacement.Would have replaced that fuel line though ;) Lil says she takes a bath at the cabin every yr...and that's good enough! Would have bought that boat, even if it's the last thing I need to add another around here!
Great video musty. I always enjoy seeing the new toys you find that people get rid of cause their lazy run again.
Looks like my 2hp , air cooled.....
I sure like the prices at your areas yard sales, $30 for a running Honda kicker motor!!!
I know, he got a killer deal. I just ran across one of these at a yard sale here, they wanted $250 for it!
@@thomashowlett8295 But you know, maybe he really did pay $250 but he tells us $30 just to make us jealous.
JimTheSoundman: Watch some of his other vid's...He lives around some absolute morons! That's a $300 motor; $400.00 in the middle of summer, and your boat is stuck on the lake...
I'm doing a boat motor myself. A Yamaha 2 stroke 3 cylinder with 3 carbs 60HP. So I was wondering about the filling transmission fluid from the bottom and not the top. And you gave me the answer to why. Thank you good sir. Nice video, to bad it was not in worst condition :)
Clicked for a outboard, Liked for the Doggo.
Oil floats on water ;) And it was nice to see an old Honda outboard getting a new lease on life. It seems this one was well taken care of because it ran WAY better than I expected with almost no work :)
Oil floats on top of water, so does gasoline.
If you get water or engine coolant in the oil, it goes straight to the bottom of the sump.
What's a sump?
@@ooftasticgacha6937 The oil pan or whatever holds the oil on the bottom of the engine, a sump.
@@GGigabiteM everybody with a basement knows what a sump pump is. Or better learn quickly.
Love these videos
Great score. Start off Duck Hunting season here in NZ. 11.30pm Sun here.
Man I want to go there. How are you guys holding up with all the anti-gun crap shoved down your throat? Were the hunters really supporting the confiscation? They will be coming for your shotties next.
@@ocavant Shit is hitting the fan. A crim walked into a police station up nth in Parmerston Nth and walked out with 14 or 15 handed in firearms lol. Plus taxpayers are going to be coughing up with buy back for years & years.. Millions & Millions. Alot of hunters are not happy at all but if your a proper hunter/ stalker you only need one shot. Pest cullers should be able to have large mags. Only rim fire .22 are allowed 10 shot mags. 5 shot mag in 12 gauge etc. Bed here if you need one...
I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH I ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. PARDON THE CAP LOCK. IT IS 44 DEGREES WHERE I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA SO ONE HAND HAS MY MORNING CUP OF COFFEE AND I TYPE WITH MY FREE HAND. PEACE MY FRIEND, LOU G.
Want some good coffee Mustie? Nice morning here. Fix it up!
Another nice find. Great little trolling motor for fishing. Now you just have to bring it up to your camp to show it in action.
Croissant ,coffee and a sunday morning Mustie video, I'm good.
Only if it's a totally fresh croissant though!!! Same here... great channel!
Big thumbs up for madame Lily classing it up =) Good doggo!
Those are good little boat motors. Looks around 5hp maybe?
Love seeing these old outboards come back to life! Keep up the great work!
Did you remember to tighten the spark plug
honda is king. excellent craftsmanship!!!!!
