When I find wet electronics. I don't attempt to run it until it is completely dry for fear of the moisture burning it out, so I put it in a dry place for probably 48 hours, depending on humidity, then try it.
@connorneillly6822 Where do you find these types of diagrams? Is there a website or schematics lookup I could go to? Get back to me if you can, thanks.
You dont understand what you just did for my brain right here with the spark. I wish I had half your knowledge of understanding ignition. I understand it but the way you interpret it I understand so much clearer. This was an amazing educational video for me. The things we can do with knowledge is endless. I have always been able to make shit work that doesnt belong together. As a young teen I made things out of other things. Took apart toys to create my own. This kinda sums it up just way more in depth. I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge with us. I will always retain it and some day be able to fix my own crotch rocket golf cart lol. Just love your wiring videos. I LOVE WIRING!!
Damn boi you should have learned electronics! I mean i wasnt technical at all only destroyed shit back in the days to see how it was made but never could fix it. I went to study electronics and understand a shitload more now even on engines since they are "mostly" ruled by electronics or pulses. The rest i learned here. Like i never knew how carburateurs work but damn hes a good teacher
That’s all you need just have a few too many grab some tools build something then walk into your garage the next day and be like well when how the hell did I do that
So many car shows/YTchannels gloss over these details and give DIY people like myself the impression I can LS swap anything in an afternoon. Thank you for keeping it real and showing how it is really done.
Loved watching the whole process of diagnosis. You guys genuinely had fun with garbage, that's the best kind of fun. Phoenix was a good fit too, you guys work well together.
Wow! Kevin, totally impressed by your electronic prowess. The way you deciphered that schematic and substituted auto parts to get it going is why I’m a subscriber. Keep the videos coming!
Have been loving all your vids and really appreciate when you give your technical advice on how to diagnose things in the car. They have helped me to get my own 66 Buick Wildcat running.
You guys clearly explained how to Jerry rig, eventually fixing things right, that I've ever seen. Kudos. If you could only see the creatures I've built with what I have laying around.ive used the Chevy HEI modual trick on many things. You should see my 23.5 hp Stroked Kohler on my 1980s John Deere utility vehicle. This build reminds me of it a lot.
That WILL not run right without some restriction on the carbs. Put a factory airbox or make one with a filter element. Even pod filters are touchy without a rejet. Airbox and it will be night and day on power.
Last year my buddies and I swapped a snowmachine motor into a little go kart. We said we were gonna put a roll cage on it after we got it up to 70mph on the icy roads in mid March. Year latter we still have just two pipes sticking up like smoke stacks. But we did get a harness bar between them and a 5 point.
Motorcycles have their ignition advance curves controlled by circuitry in the igniter unit. Using car ignition units, which are just basic electronic switches, you will get it to run, but it won't have any ignition advance. Also CV carbs don't work properly without a large reservoir of still air. Get a proper motorcycle ignition unit and an airbox and that thing will really fly. At the moment it's probably only making half the power it should.
Fyi, motorcycles have five kill switches. Kickstand, clutch, key, actual kill toggle, and tilt over (if you wreck or fall over while running it shuts the engine off)
Pick up a Holley adjustable fuel pressure regulator that’s capable 1 - 5 psi. And add some air filters. Maybe some knock-off K&N filters. Almost anything as long as it reduces the amount of air going in those carbs. Then either add a few teeth bigger rear sprocket or drop a tooth or two in the front. That thing should come alive and be a little more terrifying.
I'm almost wondering if they might have had it in second gear. I dont know much about bikes, but I know some of them you have to go below neutral to get first. Who knows though, they might know that, and indeed had it in first. Just throwin ideas.
@22:30 first start. Hey man, the fact that your knowledge got it running, doesn't make it random. GOOD JOB! I wouldn't have thought of just swapping in some HEI's.
I hope the guy that sold it watches every single second of your revival. So very happy you got an actual schematic. I've commented on restoring electronics on many platforms. Formerly working for a company that had low volume very proprietary equipment and devices. I was the main restore guy. What it amounts to is using very sterile water, goves and mild brushes to remove as much corrosion as possible before rebuilding any actual bad links that might be present. A gallon of distilled water dish gloves and a soft toothbrush would have been the best choice to restore your circuit. Removing debris because that is the main culprit in short circuiting any electric equipment. compressed air to flush out anything lingering and a thorough drying will most often restore almost anything. Alright, you've invented a single seat side by side. ha ha
Thanks to GM simplifying their external engine components back in the 1980's through 90's us DIY's have been able to rig up or repair lots of items like lawn and garden tractors. The GM 'one wire' alternator is a great item for making a full 12 volt electrical system on a Craftsman lawn tractor. Actually any lawn or garden tractor of the type with belt drive transaxel. I mounted one upside-down under the gas tank and seat. The tractor was a hydro-drive so the belt is always turning and on hydro-drives you basically never need the clutch to stop, go forward or reverse. You use the motion control lever for that. I had enough room under the hood to install a full size car battery. Installed 55 watt halogen headlights and a couple orange LED marker lights for parking lights up front. Rear I used some common rectangular red marker lights that have the chrome plastic trim. Ironically the original decals which were reflectors that are factory stock on the Craftsman tractors back in the 80's are the same dimensions as the marker lights I installed. The recessed area in the body sheet metal allowed a perfect fit. My friend seen me coming down a dirt road trail one night and he thought it was a Jeep off roading ! I put a set of red markers on my trailer for also. I used the same mounts that the alternator had to mount it to an engine. I found another hydro-drive pulley and mounted it upside down on top of the original with a separate belt from there to the alternator. That gave me the same speed for the alternator as it would have on a car engine which is generally 2 times the crankshaft speed. Never had dead battery issues starting my tractor and have used it to jump other vehicles including my friends semi-truck! Love these videos! I should post some of my dumbshit stuff that actually works, like filling your back wheels with water and adding barbell weights for wheel weights along with snow tire chains ! Might sound stupid but on hard packed roads here in California that have decomposed granite (DG) the chains and weight bite in and give an incredible amount of traction. So much traction that you can actually move dirt around the yard with the dozer blade attachment. That GM module can be used with many small gas engines to fire a coil, including a high performance automobile coil ! Pretty cool 😎 👌
My brother used to do that with the paper towel or rag when I was welding. 😂 “Why do you always weld near rags with flammable liquid on them?!” …he like to say 😅. My favorite quote in this vid ‘if you put the time & effort into making it perfect you lose ambition”. So very true! Took me forever to figure that out. Get it woikin then chip away at the details later(or aka never, maybe 😅).
This is the stuff I struggle with, electric diagrams!! Iv built many engines at a few machine shops over the years but this stuff is the mind-boggler for me. In this LS1 age it's time to learn and channels like this are what a brotha needs👍 But at the moment I'm building a 1986 honda 250R that sat for 15 years. All I had to do was rebuild the carb and it runs so awesome. Time for tires and brakes and worry about looks later. I wish I had the same, on camera experience you all offer or I'd be on UA-cam. Great build guys!! Mopar guy but where we are at Honda guy till I die!!
Well done on getting this thing running! And I really hope you don’t stop there! I would love to see you get this thing right it has potential. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Thanks for sharing!👍🏼🤩🫡❤️
Dont like the online sponsorship,your not the only ones...but we all know what its like...i just fast fwrd...but it spoils it for me as your now commercial. Still respect from Dave in the UK 🇬🇧
I literally bought a wrecked 1987 cbr600 that was in a haybale, motor full of water, and last ran in 2008 for 200 bucks in the middle of a snow storm. i bought it for the yoshimaru exhaust system for my personally cbr600f1. My friend and i got it running with a home depot pvc intake we made with jb weld in one afternoon. Our plan is legit to make a trike with the motor since it runs so well lmao. These hondas you cannot kill!
They made outta aluminum? The block and pistons that is. Aluminum won't corrode and seize like steel would (unless you put the 2 together). Might be why they can get filled with water and not lock up.
I'm actually in trade school for mechanics right now, and I just learned about schematics a week or so ago. Found your bit about them and the demonstration pretty helpful in more fully understanding the electronics diagnosis. Thank you ^_^
NIGHTMARE wiring, water in the cylinders, sketchy frame stitching. Brings me back to my childhood with a yamazuki my friend and I build. Dont know if I'm in heaven or hell.
Yeah brother. We did the same thing. There wasn't a riding mower, tiller or snowblower that was safe when we were around. Everything became something to ride. Maybe not fast. But ride...
Gravity fuel systems are deceptively sensitive. That tank needs to be closer to the carbs, and higher would be helpful. Make sure the tank is venting as well.
Pretty sure those carbs need to see vacuum on the inlet side of the carb itself to open and close the diaphragm slide on top. Usually comes from the factory airbox/filter setup.
Hey JD, For future use, keep a bottle of isopropyl alcohol on hand for things like submerged electronics. I was a tech in the Navy for 21 years, I have gave things full baths in alcohol and then put it in about a 200 degree oven for a couple hours. Most times those items would come back to life. Sometimes it doesn't work but it's always worth a shot. BTW the rice on the phone trick, gonna call that bogus but hey I'll let the people think it works. It simply the fact that the ICs dried out is the only reason it started working again. For the alcohol the higher percentage the better (less water content). Don't use denatured alcohol. It has impurities that can cause corrosion and as you well know that's the downfall for most electronics. The water isn't what causes it to stop working, it's the impurities in the water that cause corrosion that causes them to stop working. JG
Absolutely awesome, love this build. I really hope you guys add a radiator. The cooling system on these bikes is tiny, like 3 quarts. It needs the volume, and the appropriate amount of pressure to keep from overheating. Not that your worried about longevity, lol. I'm excited to see the next installment!
That was AMAZING!!! I was trying to learn multi-meter and my voltage regulator was rusted?, my gauge was fluctuating wildly and I wasted my harness, I'm 65 and learning thanks to guys like you, LOVE IT!!!
I normally skip to the built product for these videos, but watching you guys diagnose it and figure through it was so dope, and funny shit too 😂 amazing video, definitely subbed
That is awesome work - amazing resurrection - would love to see you guys make a real vehicle out of that flying death seat! All around great video and pretty awesome (potential) vehicle! 👍
This reminds me of the time my neighbor got an old 3 wheel mail cart and a BMW motorcycle engine. We put that thing together and got it to run and it ran like a scalded dog. Now this was over a dirt farm lane and across the fields. We ran that thing for almost 4 seasons before the transmission failed on it.
I put a 91 Honda 300 Fourtrax on two wheels it was fun my brother thinks I'm nuts on Atvs but I feel comfortable with pushing a machine through stunts sometimes living in the country you get bored and soon you are having fun I also love turning wrenches with friends
DAMN ! It's a "This shit should be illegal" video! I wish you would stretch the wheelbase and put the seat on the floor, in front of the engine. It would be much safer at 140 MPH. A roll cage perhaps, and even a helmet? LOL
Those philips screws aren't philips screws they're JIS screws. Slightly different shape and you can round them out with a philips screwdriver. But you can take them out if you're careful with a philips. Also I'd be careful with torch cleaners that you don't open up the jets unintentionally and cause running issues. An airbox is also a thing motorcycles don't like to run without unless you jet them up to run richer even with the likes of cone filters.
That’s awesome! Technically it was running before midnight. And messing with people while they’re welding is the best! I mess with settings while my buddy is welding. It really makes him mad! You should definitely hook up that clutch handle to be the shifter. 1 back 5 forward. I built mine that way and it worked perfectly.
Those HEI modules work wonders. I had a Tecumseh engine on a Bolens tractor and the solid state ignition was burned up. Made an ignition system using junkyard parts and got it all working and running. Used a GM HEI Module out of a 1980 Chevy Conversion Van, a coil off of a 1978 Ford F-150 I6, and an ABS sensor off of a 1998 Ford F-150.
Nice video, I had a EZGO cart with a 340 twin snowmobile engine at one time, the acceleration was unreal, and it would reach about 70 mph, but a little unstable at that speed.
Great video! Overall a great teaching experience video for ppl to learn how to properly diagnose their small motor engines (toy or vehicles). two thumbs up!
Very cool. Brings back memories. Most tricks I learned about getting engines to run were done trying to get crappy old engines running to tear up and down fields. So much fun.
I like your style. However a hall effect sensor gives discrete outputs. A reluctor will give you a sinusoidal analog signal (pulse). Your signal generator is a reluctor. A hall effect sensor would require power to operate and it would require a digital transistorized ignition module to interpret the discrete signal values and generate a signal to drive the coils to oscillate and induce a current from the primary to the secondary windings and fire the coils. You have a reluctor type signal generator that doesn't require a digital transistorized ignition module. That is why you can detect analog ac signal from the device without powering it internally and having an ignition control module. You need an analog ignitor module to oscillate the primary and induce a current into the secondary. Non-digital ignition systems, (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) works via a concept of "inductive kick". Good idea utilizing what you have rather than spend money. I will like and subscribe. Your doing good work.
This was the funniest video I saw today. To see your reaction each time water flew out from any type of ports on the engine, was priceless. Thanks for the laugh. ☺
I am absolutely one of your hardest to please viewers and you get a ten out of ten perfect score!! I don't fully understand those HEI systems but I can wire one and make it run as have done it before. You did a great job of explaining and I actually listened to you. Great job kids of finding a harmless no salamander died fun. I hope that you kinda finish it up and make it a possible driver... more suited as far as drivers go, a ten year old four foot tall kid for the test dummy. Where is a skinny short small person when you need one. I got a crazy idea for you since its just nuts and bolts... make it into one of those wide two wheels in front and one on the back on a swing arm so the wheel on the drivers side doesn't chew you up should you slide back... great video kids
Now, you just buy a blown up 4 wheeler, and stick that CBR on the old girl. Then... You can have some REAL fun. (Requires welding engine mounts and small other modifications to work) Its worth it
Idk if anyone mentioned, but often bikes will have a stop on the starter unless the clutch is in, hence the "weird" part in your wiring diagram from the starter to the clutch. Will be why your starter button doesn't work (along with the kick stand sensor Vs gears engaged) Beautiful work to get as far as you have. Good luck with the rest.
Most screws on Japanese motorcycles aren't Phillips head, they're "JIS". (Japanese Industrial Standard) *this is why the fasteners get stripped when using phillips screwdrivers
This was my first video from your channel and I was laughing and enjoying myself all the way through. Thanks for sharing, you just got another subscriber. Vroom vroom 🏎️ 🏎️
Hook your clutch bar to shifter with knuckle pivot and have both in one unit. There's a few go cart builds with street bike engines/& trans. Looks fun. Thx for entertainment
Memorize all the good Rodney Dangerfield lines from Caddyshack, and take it to the golf course. If that doesn't sound like a really good idea, just add beer.
just found this video, the dude driving has some big balls the way he was driving that dodgy machine, cool video and interesting to see how you fixed the faults/problems, you've easily earned a sub from me.
16:20 that's VR (variable reluctance) sensor because it's electromagnetic coil that generate ac voltage on two wires (same times it had 3 wires because one is shield). Hall effect had 3 wires and needs power supply to generate square wave (not ac) signal on third terminal.

I'm a retired Honda motorcycle mechanic. Your ignition hack is bloody brilliant. I've seen those little black boxes go for $300 with no warranty.
I would genuinely love to see a part two of this with a working shifter and a slightly less sketchy seat

Fyi, motorcycles have five kill switches. Kickstand, clutch, key, actual kill toggle, and tilt over (if you wreck or fall over while running it shuts the engine off)
For the jets I use a needle tip, hooked onto a compressor gun, then push air through at 12 bar 🤙
Pick up a Holley adjustable fuel pressure regulator that’s capable 1 - 5 psi. And add some air filters. Maybe some knock-off K&N filters.
Almost anything as long as it reduces the amount of air going in those carbs. Then either add a few teeth bigger rear sprocket or drop a tooth or two in the front. That thing should come alive and be a little more terrifying.
That restrictor alone cost more than the whole machine!
@@JunkyardDigs What if you fabricobbled some PVC together to make an intake runner and throw a cheap filter on it?
4 nerf balls oiled and stuffed into the stacks, filter done
Yeh, they never run right without a proper airbox or individual air cleaner setup, I always bump up the main jet if I run individual air cleaners.

For a minute there, I thought you were Cars and Cameras! 🤣
@@buckberthod5007 I’m 99.9% sure that the cylinder sides are steel, so it could’ve rusted
@@buckberthod5007 its all cast iron i think, the motor was locked up but nothing like a little used atf and working the crack back and forth cant fix.
@@EHoward64 ATF and diesel/kerosene in a 50/50 solution is the best thing I've ever found to unseize an engine.
I'm actually in trade school for mechanics right now, and I just learned about schematics a week or so ago. Found your bit about them and the demonstration pretty helpful in more fully understanding the electronics diagnosis. Thank you ^_^
Y’all crack me up I love it. Being from Iowa it’s awesome to see you guys doing your thing and loving it. Keep being awesome
NIGHTMARE wiring, water in the cylinders, sketchy frame stitching.
Brings me back to my childhood with a yamazuki my friend and I build.
Dont know if I'm in heaven or hell.
Yeah brother. We did the same thing. There wasn't a riding mower, tiller or snowblower that was safe when we were around. Everything became something to ride. Maybe not fast. But ride...
Yamazaki?
@@tvacc8702 should have been Yamazuki. Yamaha blaster body, Suzuki rm 250.
I had a hondasaki 3 wheeler
Omg!! This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen in a while. Great job!!
Gravity fuel systems are deceptively sensitive. That tank needs to be closer to the carbs, and higher would be helpful. Make sure the tank is venting as well.
Pretty sure those carbs need to see vacuum on the inlet side of the carb itself to open and close the diaphragm slide on top. Usually comes from the factory airbox/filter setup.
Hey JD,
For future use, keep a bottle of isopropyl alcohol on hand for things like submerged electronics. I was a tech in the Navy for 21 years, I have gave things full baths in alcohol and then put it in about a 200 degree oven for a couple hours. Most times those items would come back to life. Sometimes it doesn't work but it's always worth a shot. BTW the rice on the phone trick, gonna call that bogus but hey I'll let the people think it works. It simply the fact that the ICs dried out is the only reason it started working again. For the alcohol the higher percentage the better (less water content). Don't use denatured alcohol. It has impurities that can cause corrosion and as you well know that's the downfall for most electronics. The water isn't what causes it to stop working, it's the impurities in the water that cause corrosion that causes them to stop working.

Absolutely awesome, love this build. I really hope you guys add a radiator. The cooling system on these bikes is tiny, like 3 quarts. It needs the volume, and the appropriate amount of pressure to keep from overheating. Not that your worried about longevity, lol.
I'm excited to see the next installment!
They got it running someone else did the building for the most part
This is giving me so much motivation to start on the melding of a four wheeler and a 2001 ez-go golf cart. Big tires, 5 speed, all jank, all awesome.
Phenomenal, loved every second of this build, reminds me of stuff that cars and cameras would do, keep killing it digs.
That was AMAZING!!! I was trying to learn multi-meter and my voltage regulator was rusted?, my gauge was fluctuating wildly and I wasted my harness, I'm 65 and learning thanks to guys like you, LOVE IT!!!
I normally skip to the built product for these videos, but watching you guys diagnose it and figure through it was so dope, and funny shit too 😂 amazing video, definitely subbed
Looks like something CarsandCameras would build.
That might be an insult 🤣🤣
That is awesome work - amazing resurrection - would love to see you guys make a real vehicle out of that flying death seat! All around great video and pretty awesome (potential) vehicle! 👍
This reminds me of the time my neighbor got an old 3 wheel mail cart and a BMW motorcycle engine. We put that thing together and got it to run and it ran like a scalded dog. Now this was over a dirt farm lane and across the fields. We ran that thing for almost 4 seasons before the transmission failed on it.
holy crap....... least yall had fun doing it .. thats worth 100 for sure
I put a 91 Honda 300 Fourtrax on two wheels it was fun my brother thinks I'm nuts on Atvs but I feel comfortable with pushing a machine through stunts sometimes living in the country you get bored and soon you are having fun I also love turning wrenches with friends
DAMN ! It's a "This shit should be illegal" video! I wish you would stretch the wheelbase and put the seat on the floor, in front of the engine. It would be much safer at 140 MPH. A roll cage perhaps, and even a helmet? LOL
@4:40 "watch the water fly" we sure did lol
Just imagine how crazy it will be when you can shift to a higher gear.
What you did with that HEI set up was smart as hell man.
First time watching these guys. As soon as the water hit the ceiling, instant subscribe!
How many others jumped 35 min into it (not me) I've seen and built some death traps before but that one is tops.
@Jenita Davis Bot are you following me around or is there 86 of you. I want my two dollars!
I did 😂
Those philips screws aren't philips screws they're JIS screws. Slightly different shape and you can round them out with a philips screwdriver. But you can take them out if you're careful with a philips. Also I'd be careful with torch cleaners that you don't open up the jets unintentionally and cause running issues. An airbox is also a thing motorcycles don't like to run without unless you jet them up to run richer even with the likes of cone filters.

You guys are my new heroes. What a fun freaking project!
Bringing back the Ol school crop circles.. I love it. Cheers!
Love that you guys went through the wiring to give some ideas on what to chase when fixing engines. Cheers
Wife just found out it wasn't driving by midnight, might have to sell it...
Send it Briggs!
That was the best explanation of how to look at wiring diagrams I have ever heard. Thank you .
being as slap happy as you were i never suspected the source was alcohol,was thinking yall had fired one up-lol
That’s awesome! Technically it was running before midnight. And messing with people while they’re welding is the best! I mess with settings while my buddy is welding. It really makes him mad! You should definitely hook up that clutch handle to be the shifter. 1 back 5 forward. I built mine that way and it worked perfectly.
Those HEI modules work wonders. I had a Tecumseh engine on a Bolens tractor and the solid state ignition was burned up. Made an ignition system using junkyard parts and got it all working and running. Used a GM HEI Module out of a 1980 Chevy Conversion Van, a coil off of a 1978 Ford F-150 I6, and an ABS sensor off of a 1998 Ford F-150.
Lighting your buddy on fire... while building a death trap! Should be the subtitle for this video. 😎🔥
Nice video, I had a EZGO cart with a 340 twin snowmobile engine at one time, the acceleration was unreal, and it would reach about 70 mph, but a little unstable at that speed.
Circle track action right there! Turn left... turn left. That's awesome.
Great video! Overall a great teaching experience video for ppl to learn how to properly diagnose their small motor engines (toy or vehicles). two thumbs up!
Very cool. Brings back memories. Most tricks I learned about getting engines to run were done trying to get crappy old engines running to tear up and down fields. So much fun.
I am not a confident person when it comes to wiring, but watching you guys trouble shoot, gives me confidence to watch you guys and learn
do
This may be your best build. You need to do a series on home built death machines.
I like your style. However a hall effect sensor gives discrete outputs. A reluctor will give you a sinusoidal analog signal (pulse). Your signal generator is a reluctor. A hall effect sensor would require power to operate and it would require a digital transistorized ignition module to interpret the discrete signal values and generate a signal to drive the coils to oscillate and induce a current from the primary to the secondary windings and fire the coils. You have a reluctor type signal generator that doesn't require a digital transistorized ignition module. That is why you can detect analog ac signal from the device without powering it internally and having an ignition control module. You need an analog ignitor module to oscillate the primary and induce a current into the secondary. Non-digital ignition systems, (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) works via a concept of "inductive kick". Good idea utilizing what you have rather than spend money. I will like and subscribe. Your doing good work.
Magic smoke, you are a seasoned man of class. Skookum.
You should put slicks on it and make it a dragster.
This was the funniest video I saw today. To see your reaction each time water flew out from any type of ports on the engine, was priceless. Thanks for the laugh. ☺
I am absolutely one of your hardest to please viewers and you get a ten out of ten perfect score!! I don't fully understand those HEI systems but I can wire one and make it run as have done it before. You did a great job of explaining and I actually listened to you. Great job kids of finding a harmless no salamander died fun. I hope that you kinda finish it up and make it a possible driver... more suited as far as drivers go, a ten year old four foot tall kid for the test dummy. Where is a skinny short small person when you need one. I got a crazy idea for you since its just nuts and bolts... make it into one of those wide two wheels in front and one on the back on a swing arm so the wheel on the drivers side doesn't chew you up should you slide back... great video kids
Now, you just buy a blown up 4 wheeler, and stick that CBR on the old girl. Then... You can have some REAL fun. (Requires welding engine mounts and small other modifications to work) Its worth it
Idk if anyone mentioned, but often bikes will have a stop on the starter unless the clutch is in, hence the "weird" part in your wiring diagram from the starter to the clutch. Will be why your starter button doesn't work (along with the kick stand sensor Vs gears engaged)
Beautiful work to get as far as you have. Good luck with the rest.
Tim the Tool man Taylor would be proud of this machine, after all, MORE POWER was his motto. Come to think about it, Tim would supercharge it.
Man, I love the sound of those old CBR's. Honda Power!
Most screws on Japanese motorcycles aren't Phillips head, they're "JIS". (Japanese Industrial Standard) *this is why the fasteners get stripped when using phillips screwdrivers
This was my first video from your channel and I was laughing and enjoying myself all the way through. Thanks for sharing, you just got another subscriber. Vroom vroom 🏎️ 🏎️
Hook your clutch bar to shifter with knuckle pivot and have both in one unit. There's a few go cart builds with street bike engines/& trans. Looks fun. Thx for entertainment
u wont have to mess with ac on a vehicle unless ur deep in the alternator or messing with specific sensors output like crank n cam
So was this a "Liquid Compression test" , you measure how far the water went to evaluate the cylinder condition?
Totally looked like one of the runners in a MAD MAX film! Awesome! Sounded like it too!
That is halarious! Give some tools and time to some good ol boys and see what happens. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep it up guys! Stay amazing!👍🏼
Love that Pheonix guy, he is hilarious, such a good pair your are.
Memorize all the good Rodney Dangerfield lines from Caddyshack, and take it to the golf course. If that doesn't sound like a really good idea, just add beer.
just found this video, the dude driving has some big balls the way he was driving that dodgy machine, cool video and interesting to see how you fixed the faults/problems, you've easily earned a sub from me.
16:20 that's VR (variable reluctance) sensor because it's electromagnetic coil that generate ac voltage on two wires (same times it had 3 wires because one is shield). Hall effect had 3 wires and needs power supply to generate square wave (not ac) signal on third terminal.
That was awesome guys goes to show you can build anything out of junk I loved it
