Painting dirt bike plastics is dumb, period

Love the color and the artwork. You really spiffed Forky up.

Now that is a nice rusty resurrections, looks great!!

Looks great 👍👍👍👍👍

Not knocking you that's the price of 2 primeweld mig 180. Everybody has their own opinion on products..

Ed where is the best place to order old evinrude parts

Hey Ed, did you look into the Hobart 210 MVP? That’s what I run and have had good luck. What kind of projects are you making?

is this legal to do?

you will ruin the circuit board with your stupid magnet.

Great machine not enough videos online about it. I've had mine a little over a year now, I have the spool gun and the tig kit but haven't gotten around to using those as for the arc/stick welding part I think ill keep using my tombstone welder. Keep the videos coming.

13:35 You are WAY to close. How many torches and consumables do you go through a year? Ruin your magnets too...

Jack says keep the fire extinguisher close.😊. He likes your motorcycle lifts btw.

Just found your channel bud , nice work thank you for sharing

Great videos Ed

Those indys are indestructible

Really sucks BRP discontinued Evinrudes, one of the first outboards produced.

Hahaha 👌

You sure do have a lot of energy. Maybe you could staple some screen to your opening. That would keep the critters and skeeters out. Looks good.

coulr you please post the link for the carb kit ?,,,,,, Thanks

It's like a saw for little kids.

Hey I got a 1978 XL75 and I put an entire new electrical system in it, and still don't have any spark. I put condenser, coil, spark plug, wires, points, stator, and still no spark doesn't even shock me. I can't find any place where it is grounding out. Any advice would be appreciated. I am thinking maybe I didn't install my condenser correctly. Do you have to have the wires soldered in a certain order?

I used to say if it could happen and it will soon or latter . Those demons are tuff ------- .

Thks just picking ya brain putting off the inedible

cool lookn place iv got 20 acres winter creek 40c during summer dry blue bush some where to live i was wondering if u know why a xl500 honda keep blowing front driving light cleaned the earths had a electrican look at it lasted 2 days then poped again any clues be hepfull

Cool Man! Another "Build"! Hahaha I actually got a notice on the video. It's been a while since that's happened. C U next time!

How much did you pay for two acres?

Check and see if the flywheel has sheared off the keyway.or maybe just a wore out keyway .

hi there ED, do you remember what make the tow bar is as i can't ssem to find that model online in. a quick search? thank you

You Da Man!

Finally got a minute to watch videos So exciting to see and hear it run after sitting in the barn for 40+ years tires still holding air? you we’re definitely the right guy for this project good luck with the rest of it Vote for original yellow Sold the farm moved to Tennessee Connie

Another great video Ed,,glad to see the husqvarna cab turned out well ,,i hear things are happening over in the woods,glad to hear its going ok, dont blow anymore lines on that loader,and hope the weather gets better,,,,and yes,, would love to see that old homelite running again,, maybe after you get caught up on the new property project,,,thanks for the video

Good job Ed. Sounded like its running great!

Let me correct you on a couple of things that I know because I own four of the skilsaw1612 chainsaws with the factory bars on them! And they are pointed at the end. And I own thirteen of the EZ! 4blue, 3red,6white, and the white side are 40.9 cc. I have an XL98 multi purpose saw and mine is a Terry Industrys saw so you're XL98 might be also! I have a 925 multi purpose saw that came off of a fire truck in Portland Oregon and was used to cut people out of car wrecks before they started using the jaws of life that they use today.I have around 140 saws and almost half of them are vintage homelites! I even have two XL-101 homelites that were manufactured in the same plant on the same day 240 units apart from each other! One thing that I can warn you about is, if the saws have been sitting under a bench for years and someone has been working on stuff above them they have a tendency to have nuts and bolts drop through the pullstarter cover and attach themselves to the magnet on the flywheel! And if you pull it over before removing the cover and checking for this before pulling it over you stand the chance of sheering off the cooling fins on the flywheel! Not to mention, nine times out of ten the reason why the saw stopped running is because someone who had it before you was cutting with a dull chain and enstead of making chips they were making powdered sawdust that becomes air borne and gets sucked into the saw through the openings in the pull starter cover and coats the iginition coil with oiley sawdust and it can't jump a charge across the air gap between flywheel and coil. I always check this first when I have picked up a new chainsaw for my collection. 😉

Where'd you end up buying the rings from? I got the exact same motor

Lapping is not the process to use to remove pits in either the seat or the valve. Lapping is used to finish the surfaces after you grind them. Use a stone to grind the seats, use a valve grinder to grind the valves. Once that is done now you finish it with lapping compound. Should only take three or four back and forth with lifting like you did Done!

I know this video is 6 years old but i swear it looks like the book says counterclockwise but you say turn the flywheel rotor clockwise to line the F up with the index mark. Did you just read it as clockwise or what happened with that? Although you can't see clearly in the video, the text on the page looks like a longer word than clockwise and theres also arrow on the rotor face that points left/ccw. Also would you or anyone who reads this know what would cause a 78 xr75 point breaker to open 180° early??? As i rotate the flywheel CCW the points break open when the F is at the 7 oclock position relative to the crankshaft end when they should break open at about the 2 o'clock position when aligned with the index mark. Trying to get a confusing problem solved for somebody that put in a new woodruff key and sheared first kick. I put one in successfully for them but it still doesn't run because points breaj open 180° early when turning flywheel ccw. Results in unburned charge puffing out of the intake. Cam/crank/valves clearance and timing is spot on. Is it due to the breaker position on the slot? Could it be the flywheel points cam is installed 180° wrong? Looks right but I can't find alignment marks like cam driven points on other hondas. Could turning the crank by hand with the flywheel off cause this? Someone please help me help someone else lol.

There's no way I could get through a project with it sewing that fast.

Why not put it in Mammas clothes dryer ?

I'm glad the lathe work did the trick on that piston...hopefully LRB gets their supplier to correct the damned tooling! Nice repair on the generator coil; when they were cheaper and widely available, they'd just get replaced when the insulation went bad. Nowadays your repair is the only good option most of the time. Good call on the Loctite...I've seen quite a few damaged flywheels from those backplate bolts working loose!

Ran pretty good considering the carb and the cold. I had a 72. Loved it. My 2nd bike. Unfortunately, I broke the crank jumping it. When I got it back the 2nd year, I was doing wheelies with a full tank of gas and it burnt to the ground.

This has been a little tough. Good job Ed. Clean and tin the tip of your soldering gun and it will help to heat up the wire better and flow the solder better.

Another great video Ed,always enjoy watching, ,,,word was to keep an eye out for an up coming video,glad to see the progress on the old homelite 925,,sure looks like it's going to be a runner soon,looking forward to your next video, maybe she will be a ripper for that big white pine.

I have an XL175 Honda. And they are very similar looking to the one you have there, the stater.

Where can I get the name and number of the parts for a machine like this? I have one like this and I messed up the long bar in the top of the machine trying to get the wheel off so I could change the belt. I would like to get a new bar but don't know what it is called. Can you help me?

Great video Ed! That Super EZ is a frankensaw...the plastic starter wasn't introduced until around 1980. Nothing like having your Dad's saws; those memories cannot be replaced! The early XL-850 tanks were bonded and tended to leak, so the later ones were welded. I used my XL-870 for almost a decade of firewood cutting and to this day it's one of my favorites.

That rubber plug didn't want to come out!

Cool video! Great view!

It's good to see another video ED, always enjoy watching ,hope to see more on the homelite chainsaw,I guess you are waiting for a new piston to arrive

What a bummer. Maybe it was just this piston. I hope they can help you out.

Good to see another good video ed,Ed, to see its not working out well with that piston,,is it a defective piston or is it not the correct piston for the saw,sure hope it goes better the next time.
