$175 Yamaha PW50 Project - Part 4

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

The way I see it: 1. You're providing entertainment. 2. You're providing educational content. 3. You're honing your repair skills. 4. You're honing your video making skills. 5. You're spending quality time with your family. 6. You're boosting your subscriber base. 7. You're improving your skills in recognizing a good deal. 8. You know the machine inside and out so you can spot problems in the future and be able to repair them. 9. You know which parts are new on your machine and exactly what you have. 10. You spent less than buying a new one. 11. The machine got put to use instead of going to the dump. 12. You can take pride in your achomplishment. 13. You got it fixed cheaper than taking it to a shop. 14. You persevered and got the job done when others might have thrown in the towel. A great character trait to teach your son and I'm sure many other young people watching. 15. If you choose to sell the motorcycle in the future you've greatly increased the value.

My fiancee phoned me from work the other day complaining that our strimmer (weed wacker) wasn't working. I have been watching your videos for a while and decided I'd try fix it myself. So I got home and remembered some great advice you gave before. Add some fuel and try fire it up. It worked 2nd pull :D

[@Jonasdevenport858]

I was sitting in church when I got the notification. I've never been so anxious in church before

[@nikolamak_games1310]

Lol

[@ashtonquinn1608]

Lop on

[@applepoop10]

Are you saved?

[@CodyFurr]

You just helped me diagnose a problem on my scooter, thanks!

[@peteschutza3566]

Happy birthday, Jennie!

[@busterman6868]

But a smile on my face to see the notification

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks! I hope the smile was still there after watching :)

[@busterman6868]

Jennies Garage it was even bigger :)

[@rageagainstthetoymachine2410]

o.o you're glad the motor was shot? lolol

[@hillbillysceptic1982]

While you may be disappointed Jake, I am glad the pw50 story will continue. I am looking forward to seeing the little man ride it.

[@rambofan1]

This has been my favorite repair video of yours. Amazing work pops

[@lukemartin7029]

I love these videos Jake. love how you're getting the whole family involved. 😃😃

[@spiritusinfinitus]

Good luck - If the parts don't fix it it's a perfect electric motorcycle conversion project!

[@debenos]

Understanding your surroundings and developing strategies to overcome them. Love it!

[@Mheath13]

You my friend are a very honest mechanic/hobbyist. Just discovered you , good content!!!

[@texsurfer]

video style is fine. minimalist editing but still good content. remember, content is KING.

[@CrisTheRed]

Wish I had the confidence to do these sorts of things but here in my little life in UK cannot do but love watching your projects all the best

[@Seb726Laviolette]

As a kid i had the same fuel problem. Took me 3 years to figure out would run ok but for 1min..it was the filter in the fuel valve.. ripped it out and ran perfect!

[@DillysADV]

Like the new format... looking forward to the next upload.

[@The_Chad_]

In my opinion, you spent 100-some dollars on the bike and have already starting putting some work into it. I wouldn't feel bad at all about completely rebuilding that thing. Like you said, that way you know you have a new engine and if you were to buy another used bike, you never really know what you're getting. Plus parts for those things are so dirt cheap. I think the PW is the most manufactured bike ever or something like that. I can't wait until my boy starts wanting more power out of his. Him and I are going to go all out and rebuild it with a big bore, over sized carb, performance ignition, FMF exhaust and all that jazz. I'll still probably still have less in it that buying a new one and it will be a mean little machine until he is ready for a Cobra or KTM. Awesome series though! Thanks for putting it out.

[@mrc1539]

Like my sons always tell me " Dad you can't put a price on a good time ! " Ha Ha . Waiting to see the bike run properly.

[@rtoebak76]

When you said the seal was leaking i was like okay. Well take it apart. Little engine but it will work in the end. And maybe look in the cilinder while youre at it. Lol

[@NorthFloridaMan]

Man I hope everything pans out for you in my opinion you deserve a lot more subscribers just do not give up on this KZbin thing I really enjoy watching your videos

[@munozsaxon]

engine restore, i swear by it. there is good results out there :) love your videos.

[@og_boogie3x706]

I still appreciate the video

[@CaptainTyler-xi9zs]

When you say “I don’t mean to waste your time”, you don’t have to worry about that too much. Those of us watching actually care about the content, the motorcycle, AND the things and ideas you have to say.

[@brandonquenneville7330]

i have done this too. 3-4 impact screws to check the crank before purchase is a must in my book*

[@jaxonslocum8948]

I've been waiting for this video haha!

[@paulsmith2470]

i wouldn't use the new bottom end, strip it down along with the one your currently using then make 1 good bottom end out of 2 then one you brought might have some horrors lurching on the inside due to it being exposed to the elements, inspect each barrel and see which one has less scoring, hopefully you might be able to get away with just a honing, not a re-bore/ re skin, as for the head just for warping, lay it on a sheet of glass make sure it doesn't look like a speed bump, have you checked the reeds, if their the plastic type which would be ''stock Yamaha'' bend them out slightly, prolongs the life, if their not plastic i suggest getting some the beauty is if they get sucked in its not going to chew up the bottom end (experience cough) also for the love of god please drain that lawn mower 2 stroke, causes carbon to build up like a mother****** smokes and just all around bad performance, also burn out any carbon build up deposits in the exhaust heat gun/ diesel will do, will make the bike run allot smoother, whilst your in their stripping and swapping components in the crank case and cylinder might be worth getting a new top end bearing, seems like they have both have failed as seen with the scoring on the previous episode, all the best, 2 strokes are always a hassle but when done right, great bit of kit.

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

Got one not running for 400 cleaned the carb and now it runs good

[@jbjumps5852]

Get some flex tape for that seal

[@MattH198]

“ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK”

[@coltonagnew2552]

Can we get a video on the husky?

[@chaseme81871]

Just sold a pw-80. they are some durable little bikes! most likely it is the reed valves like mine was. if they are worn out they wont respond like they should. so as you see i am commenting on this video because i havent watched any others, so maybe you have figured it out. also on a 2-stroke if you have any oil dripping on the floor then you dont have a good seal. im sure you know this shit. lol

[@kj_frenchies7915]

what happened with the husqvarna??

[@funnyjackson2732]

Yeaaaaaaaaa💪

[@MrGta74]

greetings from France

[@volticreactor8807]

I was waiting for this

[@henrycripps6490]

I'd say that was a good deal in my opinion!

[@essm8443]

Any new videos going to be on the husky? Love your channel 👍

[@FoamSquatch]

I had an 86 YZ125 with this same problem. Main seal was shot and the thing would either run rich or wide open.

[@rigguyjt]

Just don't want to dump oil and mess with it anymore. It was just a flip that I pulled the trigger on and should have holstered it instead.

[@spacetrucker2952]

Also the pw50 uses the same engine as the qt50, yammahopper, and I think the towney. I may not have spelled that last one right.

[@ashtondyer5759]

Love your videos so much good info to pick up. I follow and watch all your restoration of off road toys. My only complaints are the sound quality in the video isn’t great. I’ll still watch tho. You’re wife is awesome how did you get her into your hobby

[@loganscott7129]

My pw80 can with the top end off and there’s so much movement in the crank the the piston hits the side of the motor I ordered a new crank but apparently my buds 50 does that and runs mint hard to beleive but

[@j1326]

1 month later, we get a pw50 video! Not really, just a 9min tease.

[@brandonquenneville7330]

the guy is busy obviously *

[@zx8401ztv]

Just for a solid big end assembly, that's a dam good price :-D. There is one on ebay.com for $150 (not working!!), $40 is bugger all. Even in the u.k thats dirt cheap, about £30 ish. You have two engines to mix and match, just don't take it too serious, it's not the end of the world if it's no good.

[@jenniesgarage]

Thanks for the encouragement that I didn't pay too much. I hope between the two, I'll be able to put together a good bottom end. The good thing about these low budget projects is that regardless of what happens I won't lose the farm.

[@DaisyHead666]

I just realized its a 2 stroke... ghad dayum... thne my dad told me my brother used to use one of these when he was young before he got a KTM 50cc.....he is 23 now and that was when he was 7 or 8 XD i also recently got a ttr 90 and it wont turn over....

[@waynemazan7485]

great video.... thanks

[@robh4042]

When are you going to let us in on your situation?

[@mattwatkins7333]

I love your channel,I think your fucking shit hot at what you do,respect man,from South Wales uk

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

I wish you guys would move out here with me and my wife in Arkansas, so we could open a shop together.

[@cornish_boy6235]

Here in the UK £650 Is cheap for a rough pw50, decent old ones are well over a grand.

[@Lee-et6js]

Cornish_ Boy my ass you can get a new one for 500

[@JarthenGreenmeadow]

Tbh buying something that either doesnt run or runs poorly virtually guarantees that it runs really really nice when you finally get on it. Something that already runs you wont even look at and just hop on and go. If this bike ran fine you'd never have seen half of these problems and woulda ended up dealing with something way way worse. Sorta like that Yamaha video more recently. It sorta started so you didnt look at the bottom end. When you eventually did (because of course you did) you found chunks of teeth that woulda destroyed it had you not taken it all the way apart.

[@lukemartin7029]

are you guys going to live in the Shasta for a while? you can park in my yard if you want. 😃😃

[@jenniesgarage]

You're too kind!

[@chaseme81871]

and by the way, these are very easy to work on. and the parts are dirt cheap on ebay!

[@mrbritcoinnakamoto2793]

you could buy one at top price for it to do the excact thing

[@gabrielmolinari1079]

Don't put 2 stroke fuel in the tank that's why it is fuel injected so the gas gets mixed with oil the amount that it needs. So put regaler gas in the tank, and oil in the oil tank

[@joelcr250]

oh sweeeeeeeeeet

[@greggeorge4411]

Got a pw 50 off let go for $100 it was just sitting for like 10 years so I bought new carb and throttle cable, and now it runs like a dime my 4 year old bro rides it all the time now.

[@jenniesgarage]

Sounds like a great buy!

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

So it looks like a rebuild with new sleeve, piston, rings and bearings and seals, with possibly the crank as well and might as well redue the head and valves as well. Or buy a replacement engine.

[@Loose-goose]

Yep. A sleeve and valves in an old 2 banger, yep

[@randyrowe3097]

Those oil injectors suck. That's not likely a problem in this case but something to pay attention to.

[@rigguyjt]

I'm pretty good at working on bikes but I know when I've spent more than I want to spend on something only worth around 900 or 1000 anyways.

[@jwhitevlog]

You are moving?

[@cameroneldridge1076]

You don't even know how similar our living situations are

[@cpbowring]

...Adam Sandler is that you? 😂

[@Paul-vl8zq]

You can't put a price on a kids smile mate. :)

[@sdgames6598]

lol u guys worry bout the engine but im worring about all that coke in the backround!

[@Jaceymarshall1996]

dammm thats a deal am doing a pw50 project i need a full wiring harness and piston and barrel all that for 40 is a steal i need to find these deals

[@jenniesgarage]

There is a wiring harness in the box I got but it's got a couple cut wires. Let me know if you think you could use it.

[@Jaceymarshall1996]

yes i could use it i have no wires, the harness was cut from the magneto to the rev but i have the cdi and everything and i am in uk,england so its hard to find spare parts around here like the box u found, good find that

[@Jaceymarshall1996]

Jennies Garage okay

[@rigguyjt]

I've got the same kind of issue right now with a 1992 RM125. I've invested $550 into it including purchase price. I've done everything I know how to do and there is something catastrophic going on as well. I'm choosing to cut my loses and sell it. Hopefully I can at least recover my investment and start over.

[@paulsmith2470]

how catastrophic, are we talking a conrod with a mind of its own haha

[@jenniesgarage]

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes we have to cut our losses. At least at that price point you're not too far in the hole. If you were my neighbor I'd have a look at it for you.

[@rigguyjt]

It really was a bad buy. The guy I bought it from beat the crap out of it and failed to inform me of how "nice" it was and he was a cop!

[@kaarmyta]

turn it into cafe racer. it will increse the value.

[@vincentbaelde-millar670]

Nah it'll decrease the value. It'll just increase how much hipsters will pay for it.

[@pollywaffle1458]

I got a 1983 pw80 without an engine and that's it! Only for $10😂😂😂😂

[@bikeflippaztv8556]

Adjust the air fuel mixture

[@nicholashoward9383]

In ur previous video you said you mixed the gas. Their is no need to do that since it's got the oil pump. So to much oil could.causenit to be dawgy and run like crap.

[@mitch_da__7019]

I have a pw that is going to be for sale

[@rigguyjt]

Bad crank seals

[@300zxdriver]

Venturi not ventur- I

love you guys

[@randyrowe3097]

You can sell it for 400 as is. It runs.

[@TruenorthmtGod]

I jumped the gun poor kid must be dying to ride.

[@Mythic783]

even if it costed him 650$ or the whole build any little bike like this where i live is over 800$:(

[@tomjones7129]

Hey why don't you get ads and get payed for KZbin

[@mwilliamshs]

TL Films why don't you get a dictionary and say paid?

[@shogun678]

mwilliamshs complains about spelling but doesn't understand grammar or sentence structure. lol

[@williamfitzallen8713]

But I love ur vids

[@csachevauxsansabri2612]

if your wife says you should have paid 30 then you should answer that you could have played 100 because it's worth it.

[@aussieguy1593]

3rd comment

[@volticreactor8807]

Oh yea thats worth 40

[@Francois_Dupont]

you can buy a full size 4stroke brandnew dirtbike for 1000$~, spending 500$++ on a kid sized version USED is ridiculous. did you look into the cheap Chinese brand new market? i dont mean to be mean with you or anything, but this is getting out of hand.

[@Francois_Dupont]

heck i bought my car for about 300$ US, and i am still driving it 2years later. (i changed for 200$ of parts but still.)

[@lljacoblltv2131]

They really stole ur money

[@boing7644]

it's pronounced pee-wee not pee-dubl-yoo

[@sthwestb]

Well I HOPE you can see your way through to understand what I'm about to say here... KICK yourself hard for NOT completing that SHASTA CAMPER, you would of and could of stayed in that while your in limbo!!! =0 \ Just saying!! ;0 ]

[@jenniesgarage]

I don't want to spoil anything, but it will come in handy (for storage or otherwise haha) if we move. I promise that I don't want to neglect the Shasta folks. I've been working on editing the next video.

[@sthwestb]

Well thanks for getting back with me, I enjoy the interacting... =0 )
