Hello Mustie. From start to finish a JOY to Watch.

[@staceyabrams820]

Hello Mustie. I want to thank you. Yesterday my lawn mower quit on me. what I would usually do is take it down to the Toro shop ($120) and have them fix it because I have never worked on a small engine before and don't know the first thing about them. At lease I didn't until I started watching your videos. I have been watching for a while now and I felt like it was time to get my hands dirty. I went out and got some basic tools and was able to take the carb on my lawn mower apart, clean it and reinstall it. I also replaced the spark plug and air filter. It started on the first pull. Wow. Not only did you save me a bunch of cash, but the pride of being able to do it myself and that it worked. I can't thank you enough Mustie. I don't know if you realize the service you are providing sharing you knowledge to the You Tube community. Plus your videos are the only ones that my wife will watch with me. Thanks again and best wishes and continued success.

[@jamesread11]

Same here. I am doing much more repairs myself now! ( Piaggio Sfera 50 NSL ).

[@davidbgraham461]

Hi, Musti. I love your show, here in Aus. Many of my friends are also keen followers. I chat to you, as you work, like when you were stripping the choke on the 90 and wondering if it was a 12 or a 13mm. I told you Yamaha use 13, not Honda. Maybe I am futher around the bend than first imagined but, keep up your good work; it's a class act !!

[@dalebenson1230]

Justice just want to Thank You for bring back so many memories. I had a 1975 Honda trail 90. I had some much fun on that bike. Wish I had that bike now. Thanks again.

[@thatguy-dc4uc]

I can only imagine the happiness that comes from ringing inside after years of pepole telling him no, you can't ride inside

Nice exhaust note Mustie!! It's gotthat Harey rumble going on... Great job restoring the old Trail 90! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us viewers..

[@lynnh7694]

After watching your videos for two years. I finally got a couple old Honda bikes. 1970 Sl100 and a 1970 CL125. I learned a lot from your videos and I'll be referring to many of them to help me along. Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Hey Mustie lad, having fun and not harming anyone, it's what life should always be about. I'm 74 and still doing that so you've quite a way to go yet! Thanks for sharing from an old Yorkshie "Geezer" in Ireland.

[@shawnstrode3825]

Fun to watch you make a forgotten bike brought back to life. That ride is definitely something you couldn't do in the old garage. Reminds me you of avoiding the flowers in your backyard .

[@kennycybertron1]

You know you made a good move when you can ride one of your shop projects around the inside of the shop !!! That ending brought back all my trail riding days growing up in the woods.....good stuff

I love this project series! I love the go pro shots while you are driving. Some really good slalom drivings indoors. I can't wait to see you next resto project.

[@butler386]

Great Video series for sure. Fantastic find and fantastic repairs. Great toy. Great job.

[@IrishMikeK]

Not sure if it is the same but when I was very young I had a C50 cub and the clutch could be used with the gear lever. It was a semi automatic affair and if when you put the bike into gear you held the gear lever in position( not releasing) you could gas it and release and in effect pop the clutch. You could then pull a real wheelie. I would expect on the 90 you could do it rolling into second. Have fun with the new toy!

[@terryjones4555]

Great job mustie the bike runs and looks great

[@larrysnyder3475]

Sweet little bike. I loved playing with em when I was young.

[@crlager]

My right side control was broken the same place as yours. I purchased the right hand control for a CT110 from DR ATV (around $40) and used just the bottom half, screws in and with a small modification it fit like a glove. I now have breaks, stop lights and mirror and it looks stock. Great video.

[@adamshoupe3181]

Love that rumble that the older hondas have. Bike looks great!

[@addisme7561]

Nothing like a Mustie1 video before bed, couldn’t think of anything quite more relaxing.

[@niceguy2171]

Turned out really nice, and now a shop almost big enough to ride around ;) even if my yells of "watch out for the Satellite..watch out for Crusty!" were probably heard by all. Those were marketed to RV'ers, and reportedly that's how they got that 'altitude adjustment switch' for the carb..when feedback at a Honda event to rep about taking them around in Colorado and other areas out west, and having to stop and get the carb adjusted each time, led to it being added. They are for running around the campground..riding down to the lake..going to the 'campstore', and not much of a true 'trail' rider, but lots of fun. So totally agree how that shift pattern is screwy to get used to, for us that know the "1 down and 3 or 4 up"..and that's why I let the 110's I did of those go. Nice to get that tank by a cool viewer, as that old one was gone.

[@AridersLifeYT]

THIS is what i subscribed for. Love these videos. thanks for posting.

[@rgary1971]

Love checking out ur videos. I learn somthing every time I check one out. I'm an over the road driver and I just bought a huge shop. I think restoring old engines and lawn mowers would be a fun hobby. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for an old hit and miss engine.

[@michaelhartzell9758]

I must be one of the early watchers. You've got one hell of a nice bike there, don't drag the tail light to much or your gonna need to order more parts!. Great video, thanks for making Sundays special...😛

[@Carstuff111]

Hehehe, gotta love Honda build quality!!! 42 years old and it runs like a top with a minimum of work!! And, I love the fact it has more power than I had expected!! It has some spunk!!!

[@Calamity_Jack]

Wow, what a nostalgia kick! As a kid in the 80's, I used to buzz all around the hills near my house on one of these babies. It was a real mule. No speed demon, but perfect for going up and down trails and hills. (Except mine tended to overheat.) Thanks for the vids on this one!

[@NuTT62]

Also known as the "Postie Bike" in Australia, use to be used by the Australian Mail carriers on rural mail routes, After seeing your trail ride I can see why. lol

[@PeterEmery]

Actually, the "Postie Bike" was a lesser-spec than the Trail 90. Australia Post specified that the high/low change section of gear-train be deleted, so not only was the lever absent, so was the indicator on the alloy body of the gearbox. They're still in use in my part of Melbourne with a "comfort" variation in the form of wide fairings to protect the riders' legs from the weather. Later/current "Postie Bikes" are CT110 models.

[@tootall5559]

even tho there are other bikes that put a smile on my face, this one puts a smile on anyone's face that rides it. Just fun as it can be. chip monk is cute.

[@horstszibulski19]

What are the odds? I was watching a Mustie 1 video on a Lx178 mower and received notice of a new video .Talk about good timing.

[@mrbubetube]

HEY GUYS!

[@kellyherald1390]

Small detail here - The handle bar lock lever is supposed to point towards the speedometer. As you mentioned about the oil and the slipping clutch concern, back in the late 70s early 80s oil companies were releasing oils with friction modifiers and that caused the clutch to slip. My dad owned the same model year CT90. The gas tank you have on your CT90 is from a CT110. Same frame just different engine displacement. I'm glad you are resurrecting an excellent trail bike. It's not fast but we always joked that with it low range and you could maintain traction it would climb vertically without bogging down. We used to own a 67, 73, 77, 78 CT90s and still own a 1980 CT110.

It's not the SYNTH that makes the wet clutch slip, it's the automotive friction modifier additives.

Pretty sure it's a centrifugal clutch not a wet clutch. So no oil touches the clutch, unless there is a serious problem.

[@glennbennett6578]

Looks like a blast! Very rewarding to be out riding on one you saved from the scrap pile. Something I have done to freshen up a rebuild project is to use touch up paint in the worst areas with an artist brush. Then a combination of steel wool, fine sandpaper to scuff the unaffected areas and blend the touch ups. Then apply 2 or 3 coats of automotive clear coat. The paint remains as original as possible and the clear coat gives a new surface for polishing. If you don't want to use a spray gun, high quality clear coat is available in a rattle can. The process takes about the same time as buffing and polishing once you have done it a couple of times. Thank you for another video, this is my favorite channel of anything I watch on TV or internet.
