Loved the cub 90s I had loads in the 80s/90s I used to pick them up for under 15 quid back then best feild bike fun ever there was loads of us buzzing round on them like angry wasps lol the last one I ever had was a trail cub with a honda trike 110 cc motor in it great content it kinda takes me back I had my first one a 67 model when I was 11 great fun ,memories and my first engine swap .
Amazing how times and prices change. Glad it brings back memories and makes you smile, if I can achieve that then I'm happy. I love this wee little thing. It's got right under my skin. Really loving learning about it and tinkering with it.
You're so young!
Like an archaeologist discovering ancient machinery from a previous era!
😄 certainly don't feel it.
I had many honda c90s and c70s when I was 14 as field bike my old ones used to rot round the back end shocker mounts thats when I started to learn to weld thanks to my uncle and been doing welding and fabrication as a job they are simple easy engines to work on and can take some stick but the gearbox after a while would playing up but that was my fault if you not good with engines get a hanyes manual as the Chinese pit bikes use a copy engine 110cc and you can get bigger bore as well as you can use some parts off them engines and carb or you can buy a new one for around £300 wat will bolts in to your frame hopefully that helps
Thanks for the info, it really does help. I love hearing people's stories about these bikes, particularly from years gone by when they were ten a penny.
I'm thinking more and more that I will go down the Lifian engine route at the moment. Stick a 110 in and then revamp the original as a spare. I just don't have the time at the moment unfortunately. Busy busy busy.
I wouldn't worry about the spark plug too much... you could probably use a sputtering candle and it would still run
More than likely. I think my issues are either compression at lower revs or the pilot system of the carb.
Welcome to the club, anyone who's bought a 90 that's not been used for a while has been on this journey. Blocked idle/pilot circuit. Good training for when you're broken down in the middle of nowhere! Great channel name BTW Karl, sorry Chris 🙂
Aye its all a learning curve. Although it was fully cleaned and the jet was free, no doubt something has gotten back in there. Suppose it's time to take it off again and hunt for a friend with an airline!!
😄 shhhh you'll get me in trouble.
@@anidiotonboard6539 that happens a lot.. sometimes with the air cleaner off, you can rev it up and put something over the carburetor and choke it fully until almost dead. Remove ✋ hand. Repeat.that directs all of the intake pulces through the
Plugged jet.. and 50% of the time it works.. until you find the rest of the dirt in the system.
@RonaldDaub-xi5jz awesome. I'll give that ago. I've got it to the point where it will run, but it won't idle. So it's either the mixtures all to pot or the jet getting blocked again.
I'll give what you said ago. 👌
Thank you.
@@anidiotonboard6539 it's worked for me a lot of times. It's a temporary fix if it works, and if it does work it's obviously sucked it through
@@RonaldDaub-xi5jz awesome sauce. Thank you. 😊
choke, limit the air flow, makes the mixture richer, more fuel to help start
Nice. Good info, thanks for that. 👍
First!!!!!!
🤣 took me a minute.
Good luck with the idle issue. Carbs are the devil's spawn. Awww, a sad ending 😭. Looking forward to the next one.
It was me ode. A little disappointed I didn't get it running properly. But it just means got to get it on the next one.
Air filter, is it missing?..."too much air".
This will make the engine run too weak, and this will make engine too hot ,with loss of power.
" Too much air weak, too much fuel rich"
Hope you get up and running, great project.
I've had a few C90's , pity they stopped selling them in th uk
Hi David, the air filter is in and it's all clean etc. One of the first things I checked. I think I may have solved the issue but shall see. Haven't had a chance to try properly yet. Will be on it this week though. I've wanted for years, they are cool little things.
@@anidiotonboard6539 are leaking after the carburetor and the air cleaner off..
The air cleaner being off will do nothing but just run dirty air it won't make anything run hot but a air leak in front of the carburetor can cause all kinds of vacuum problems especially on a two-stroke
@RonaldDaub-xi5jz good info, I'll have a look at that too. Thanks.
I had a c90 transmissions are strange
Aren't they just. It's taken me a while to get used to it.
@@anidiotonboard6539 most Honda's with automatics with the sequencel 3 down 👇 or 3 up . I'm wondering why Honda on this one engines transmission is set up with one up and two down.. or the other way. Whichever neutral is in between first and second. Making the rider shift from first,to neutral, and then to second with the automatic clutch is certainly a slow shifting transmission. There's nothing wrong with it
It's just the way this particular one was .
