Your mistakes like "put the cylinder on backwards, I sure did" and "if that wasn't a big enough kick in the nuts" are one of the reasons I subscribe to this channel...makes you very relatable...you keep it real and you should make a "mistakes out-takes" video...and on the subject of break-in oil ratio (16:1) my take is it is for getting the "dry" engine lubed up and avoiding piston/cylinder damage (it actually slows the break-in of such) also it has been shown that anything richer than 20:1 provides no extra piston ring sealing...so in conclusion I would run 16:1 or a new engine but no richer than 20:1 for a new top end break-in.
Thanks again for another useful video got this saved to the 2stroke Playlist so I can easily go back and watcher again if I come across any problem 😀 thanks bro
I hope you're doing well, my latest nightmare / project is a Honda ruckus. I need to replace the gas tank & cap . It was left unused for 6 years. Sigh, vids when I dive into this !
La hover im enjoying this cooler weather too just about 6 weeks or so were getting 99to100 actual and feels like 103-105 of course a few nights ago it 50 degrees and i was freezing had to pull out a blanket
Don't feel bad I mite of done it when I was younger. Hay when r we goin 2 the motoos. I'm still buildin my chopper. I also found out it's a quad 40. Bore stroke intake & exhaust. I'm mostly waitn on a front cnc mount. Cause the frame is so long. Reoder it twice. Cause amozon prime lost it. I've been havin trouble findin a rear wheel 4 it. I'm runnin a 26 on the front on a dual springer. The rear a 24x3 tire. But the problem is the rear frame is 4 1/2" axel openin. So I need a 4 1/2" hub. On th rear wheel. Do u have any ideas ? Thanks. I'm glade y'all made it through.
Hey, cool video. Lot's of good info. Also concerning your gasket making techniques, wouldn't it be easier to simply trace out the old gasket you're replacing? Oh and what an awesome riding buddy you have. Say hi to Henry for me.
After you put a new Piston and cylinder on the yd100 are you using 16-1 aka break in fuel again or are you going to just continue your regular mixture. Also how many tanks are you going to use to break it in?
Sometimes, making gaskets for chainsaws and trimmers to cut the round part for the cylinder bolts (in this case for the studs) I would place a ball bearing over the hole and punch it with a hammer, the ball will cut a hole on the gasket by pinching it when it accomodates on the stud hole.
Hey man i've been looking for videos on how to make these things softer but all i can find is videos on how to make them louder. You seem to know what's going on. Any suggestions?
So i've been messing around and i found some solutions: 1- cover the clutch cover with rubber alot of noise comes from the gears inside there 2- put small pieces of rubber between the fins of the motor. 3- put rubber between the motor and frame 4- wrap the muffler. I tried packing it but there was too much restriction and it wouldn't start 5- build a box around the carburetor and fill it with steel wool. this will take out most of the high pitched whinny noises and drastically reduce vibrations. It's a bit of work and there's a lot of tinkering you have to do but the end result is something that sounds more like a motorbike and less like a weed wacker. also because the bike vibrates less it's easier to take it up to higher speeds
What do you mean by softer do you mean quiet the stock exhaust is super quiet compared to what I run if you want quiet go Electric either that or get a 49 instead of a 66 you can add baffling to it will make it much quieter but I must warn you it takes away from speed. Type of Motors run on the air fuel mixture you can make it as quiet as you want but you will not get performance you want silent go Electric. In my opinion I like an engine I don't want batteries
I have a rough mid/high throttle on a zeda triple 40. Takes off great with good power but after I get it to mid or high she's nothing but 4 stroking. I'm still in break in and I'm running 16.1 ratio as the manual states. I have adjusted the NT carb. Any tips?
if you are passed one tank, go ahead and switch to 32/1. That alone should help, but if it still struggles, try moving the needle clip up 1-2 notches (leaner). And if that does not help get a smaller jet.
In your opinion, which motor is the one you like most...Iam wanting to do a conversion but don't know that much about the various motors. Any help would be appreciated.
My question is and I do appreciate your video clips on having trouble with but so I put them in and then Vegas connect to the bar. Pinhole on top it doesn't matter that's my question
Hello i was wondering if i should pull my head and check how my jug is doing have a second hand motor have no clue what the miles on it are prob close to 200 i do ride it a bit and some times it seems to strugle for a moment then its fine but can i just pull the head check and slap it back on if i dont mess with the gaskit just clean the suface i also have 2 spare jugs that have been fully ported not shure if ill use them yet think i may up load a vidieo if i find my jug to be dammaged just making a list of what to put in it at this poit hahaha
mine makes really loud squeaking noises which seem like their coming from a bearing inside the shaft that goes from the drive sprocket to the clutch. the problem is they’re plenty greased and it only squeaks when it’s warm. and whenever I let off the clutch that really raspy noise progressively gets louder each time I run it. I don’t ride the clutch and I try to make sure the engine rpm matches my speed every time I let off so it’s not like I’m hard on it. oh and it only idles when it’s cold, not when it’s warm for some reason. I thought that was only a problem for larger cc 2 strokes lol
I wish I had a friend or neighbor who knew about these bikes, just to kinda help me learn and get started on these bikes.... It seems kinda risky to start spending the money on these engines without the know how....
My best top speed with the yd100 is 42 MPH on flat ground. Here is the set up and video link. 26" frame, 36 tooth sprocket, ngk b8hs, port matched and polished. ua-cam.com/video/Q-a1QiurRLI/v-deo.html
change ur sprocket put on a expansionchamber ngk plug nt carb is fine when tuned correct. dont go crazy and waist money on boost bottle also make sure u break in correct .remember these r 2 stroke motors break in is everything .then tighten everything up make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks air fuel..that's the best advice I can give u bro
What oil gas ratio would you recommend for a 2 stroke motorized bicycle? Also what would you suggest a good way to seal an air leak where the carb connects to the manifold?
ice yaj I put some red gasket maker over the slits on the carb then put the clamp on and put some tape around it. It did not fix the leak 100% but it idles for a while and revs come down slow but come down.
It is frustrating that most piston kits and pins never come with the bearings but I found one on Amazon that comes with pin, clips (good ones) and wrist pun bearing for same price as just the pin and clips! It's from seller, "DONSP1986" I've also found other motorized bike items from this seller to be of the best quality. The best quality one can expect from redistributed Chinese parts that is.
Thanks I wish I would have got a friction it would have been done easier but they didn't have none and stacked when I was trying to get it I would say by 1 I have a good one
Never ran into this myself but from what I have heard is, as long as the sparkplug is not contacting the piston, the motor is simple to hot... Running to lean, to much oil, full throttle for to long, and a hot plug rating. Probably a combination of the above would do it.
@@LAHover thanks bud but how is ur phantom running? My 1st 2nd gen all types of metal fragments were in the crank case and got it to jug and blew it up now the place I got it from is telling me to break in at 25 to 1 and then 20 to 1 from there out .what have u been running ur at?

Commonly know as the 66/80cc motor. Although there my be slight differences in parts and quality they are the same motors. 66cc is the American displacement measurement.

Seeing how things looked in that YD100, I would run it till it was starting to run poorly.
Don't feel bad I mite of done it when I was younger. Hay when r we goin 2 the motoos. I'm still buildin my chopper. I also found out it's a quad 40. Bore stroke intake & exhaust.

Would u recommend the zeda triple 40 firestorm or the Zeus t 100, I'm about 200 lbs and I want to use a 36 sprocket
If it's your first build I would get the triple 40.
if it's not, than definitely go for the Zeus.
I love your sweet dog
Hover What oil ratio mix do you run on your motorbikes ?
i wonder if its possible to have a electric motor force pressurized air thru the carb? like a supercharger
This is pancho from discord good video👍
nice
After you put a new Piston and cylinder on the yd100 are you using 16-1 aka break in fuel again or are you going to just continue your regular mixture. Also how many tanks are you going to use to break it in?

Quick question, whatever happened to Old Faithful?
I retired the frame, it's parts have been spread among the remaining bikes.
@@LAHover Oh I see. Was the frame itself unsuitable for continued use? (it being a $98 bike). Thank you for the reply. I've been subbed for 5 months.
Hey man i've been looking for videos on how to make these things softer but all i can find is videos on how to make them louder. You seem to know what's going on. Any suggestions?
If you want super quite get a Chinese banana pipe they kill the sound lol
So i've been messing around and i found some solutions:

Got some work to do on my bike too crashed her and broke my wrist but hopefully will be back riding in 5 weeks
ouch! sorry to hear it man.
Yo I was wondering, can you put a yd 100 cylinder and piston on any old china doll pk80? Like are they comparable?
No, the cases are to small to fit the jug without extensive modification.
I have a rough mid/high throttle on a zeda triple 40. Takes off great with good power but after I get it to mid or high she's nothing but 4 stroking. I'm still in break in and I'm running 16.1 ratio as the manual states. I have adjusted the NT carb. Any tips?

Firestorm Zeda 80 is my #1 pick. The price is a little high right now so I would also be happy with a Wild Cat PK80.
My question is and I do appreciate your video clips on having trouble with but so I put them in and then Vegas connect to the bar. Pinhole on top it doesn't matter that's my question
I do not understand the question.

Have you ever changed a rod bearing on the crank and if so how do you go about it
I have not
Good
You guys know if the yd 100 needs BOTH BASE gaskets that come with the kit?
none of my motor came with, or have two gaskets. Removing one may give you more performance, but you need to check the squish gap.
Huh. I ordered a new gasket and it came with two also. Thanks for answering L A.
So what is the top speed for the yd100? I want to change my bike for I can go faster but not too sure if the yd 100 we go faster then 37mph
