Coleman CT100U $250 Basket Case

[@The_Mott_Shop]

Hey there. I would just like to say that I’m the one who did all of those modifications to the bike. I bought that bike back in the spring and blew up the engine that was on it, ended up tearing the whole thing apart and repainting it, new engine, all the little mods you see. New seat, the breaks worked kinda when I put them on. But yeah she was cherry then I sold her to my friend Zach who sold it to you. I hope yall have fun with it, and if you’re interested I have some photos of her throughout the process of being rebuilt. You got it for a steal at 250 my friend

We might do a few upgrade videos on it. But for now we just need a pit bike for at the races and it will be great for that. Everything on it works again but it needs some carb tuning or a different exhaust to work with the stage 1 intake. Probably change to a hydraulic brake and newer rotor but only because we can nothing wrong with what is on it right now.

@ I’m glad you got plans for it. When I originally bought the bike it had a brand new predator 212 running break in oil still. I serviced and ran that for awhile until it blew up, swapped another predator onto that before that one seized cuz it got to hot. Then I rebuilt the bike and put everything you see on it today. I drove that bike miles around my house. Gone from Palermo to Albion, all on back roads. She’s seen a lot of miles. I put maybe 4 hours on the current engine, and never tuned it before selling to Zach. Then however much he used it. So pretty fresh engine. Just so you’re aware, it’s still got break in oil in her. So unless you changed it, I’d recommend doing that

@@redneckcomputergeek Definitely need to add a hydraulic brakes. work way better and more reliable.

ˇHe whole point is to get it running..Even the Macguyvering to get the chain tensioned I am sure will last for many many months...The bike is a great test bed and that is exactly what John and You are going ot do...I have been looking around for some tubing to build a medium minibike to do some drag racing and hopefully I will see you guys on the track as it gets a bit warmer...Great video and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year John and Neil!!!-John

Well done young sir's Reminds me of my boy when he was in that age group. Glad to see you working as family projects, things to reminisce about in years to come. From the Oregon Coastal Mountains Range, God bless you and yours.

Maybe some bubble wrap for John. He does fall gracefully though. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@laurafiler3760]

Oh the fun with dad.

Looks like you need to put those spikes in those tires for the snow/ice LOL. Well I'd say $250 wasn't too bad...I think at Tractor Supply they're like $900. I don't have any kids so I don't care to get that stuff I'd never use anyhow, but well ya got John so he's gonna wanna play too, at least you got the space for him to play with those power toys. My youngest cousin wanted a go-kart track...I told him I'd build it if he bought a go-kart....well he never got a go-kart and he's way beyond those toys now so I never had to build the go-kart track LOL. Kind of sounds like somebody started messing with that engine, but never put the right parts inside it to justify the other stuff they did LOL.

No bad choices, just unlearned lessons waiting to be learned.😂

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

Thank you for the video and have a Happy New Year's to your whole family

[@michaelfarris2556]

Man, I must have backed this video up 6 times just to see the boy slide home. So what was going through your mind, Johnny boy, when this was happening?

[@redneckcomputergeek]

He said he aimed for the snow bank and missed LOL

[@zachdrinkwater4849]

I hope you guys enjoy it had fun with it glad to see a kid getting lessons from it and im sure theres more thatll come along with the build that he'll learn along the way any thing you guys need ask the person i asked about selling it too (gonna keep him anonymous) but just ask him and ill responf immediately

[@ChristianandFamily]

That crash took forever though.

[@markroderick3300]

spring is tomorrow...lol

[@bryduhbikeguy]

It looks like a great buy. A couple hours of you 2 redoing the problems and John can crash...uhh..ride for hours.

[@zachdrinkwater4849]

The rotor was warped when I checked it and the adjustments to the brake caliper if you were to set him a different way they would scratch the rotor pretty bad from what the kid that I bought it from told me

[@schithead7]

Geez, , , why not stud the tires and give that a try for winter ? ya have nothing to lose on those ol crappy tires : ) It Might Be A lot O Fun ..................

[@zachdrinkwater4849]

[@derpydog1008]

Those v tread tires are awful on anything. Get you some sunf A011 knobby tires. I think I paid a little over $40 for a set that size shipped to my door.
