    If this trip takes you 5 years, you're gonna be a master Tuk Tuk mechanic by then, keep it up!

    Love the fact that you are just figuring it out as you go. You can tell that’s genuine when you’ve never seen the measurements on the side of an oil bottle!

    14:25 Yes, if you get a little oil on the oil filter o-ring, that prevents the o-ring from ripping while tightening

    G'day Bud
    Great video
    I'm incredibly jealous of your adventure
    Gold screw?
    Ya Muppet 😋
    It's a carburettor main jet 😁
    Just for your information
    If you didn't already know
    The larger round spring-loaded slide that you took out of the top centre of the carburettor in the throttle
    That's where I mentioned last time that there should be a height adjustable needle (by moving a circlip to another slot on the needle, which adjusts fuel supply) and the smaller round slide thing that you removed is the choke
    If you're struggling with high altertude and need the engine to run a bit richer, you could try pulling the choke on a small amount and see whether that helps or makes it worse
    Next time you're doing work like that, you should find a shady spot and put a tarp down to work on
    At least then, if you drop a screw or whatever, you have a better chance of finding it
    Smearing some oil on the O ring of the new filter is definitely the correct thing to do, but next time, use the new fresh oil
    You mentioned another part that requires a small amount of oil, was that the gearbox?
    If so, did you have the correct oil as it's probably different to the engine oil
    An engine oil and filter change every 2500kms seems overkill
    Is that really the recommended time frame?
    Anyway
    Awesome
    Keep it up
    I look forward to seeing more
    Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

    I've seen videos of people going across the Darien Gap by foot, and it was horrific, with deceased people left and right, people abandoned by relatives (old, women, children), scary situations, brutal conditions - I believe in you, Ryan, but there's no way you can - or should - attempt to drive it. ItchyBoots took her motorcycle around that area by boat, and even that was tough and hard going and she encountered pirates. Think of Patti!

    If you don't put oil on the oil filters gasket most likely it won't seal properly when you screw the filter on & it will typically leak quite often afterwards. I would suggest you contact your friends at Motoland & get their advice on plumbing & installing an after market space heater for the rear of a van or similar type of vehicle (small radiator like device), you will find that it will make your life all that more enjoyable once you get further north or up in higher elevations. That is the nice thing about a water cooled engine. Once again let me remind you to dot all the i's and T's for your dog before you attempt to cross the borders into the USA & Canada. Obtain all of Patty's vaccinations & certificate of health declaration from a licensed veterinarian.

    • @aussieespanol
      @aussieespanol  Рік тому

      For sure!! Legendary advice mate. I’ll look to see what I can do on the space heater

    Nice video, as a suggestion try to use gloves to change the oil (those latex ones), oil is pretty toxic.

    Seems like you’re really getting the hang of servicing the tuk tuk/motor. By the end of this the company might make you the face of their business lol

    Mate, I hope once you get to Alaska you can float over to Russia and drive back to Australia. It’ll just take a few boats and a few thousand km of trackless Siberian tundra!

    This thumbnail looks bad....
    .... oh just routine maintenance, that's ok.
    Was good to get a good look at the engine. Doesn't look much more than a 125cc. Enjoyed this raw sort of video.

    Please be careful, the Darien Gap is one of the most dangerous places on Earth. It's not just the jungle, it's also drug traffickers and guerillas.. lots of people go either missing or get murdered there. I admire your adventure spirit, but maybe you should re-think that part.. :O

    $10,000 for the Darien Gap! It's understandable but isn't that like 2.5 or 3 x the price of the tuktuk
