DEMOLISHED Honda TRX Rescue and Engine Swap MADNESS - Will It Run?

A few weeks back I tried to revive a vintage 1987 Honda TRX125 quad. I spent all day troubleshooting the electrical system and CDI and got it running. Unfortunately, the crank and rod bearing were out on that one and it had a heck of a knock. I wasn't going to let that beat me, so I picked up another train wreck 1988 Honda TRX 125 and am going to see if I can salvage the engine out of this one. I had to do a little carburetor work this time since it was not getting any gas. Can I redeem myself and get this one running???
Shout out to a super cool channel ‪@mrcbuilds‬ for giving me the tip on the correct way to take the engine out of the old Honda frames :)
I want to use this engine for a future 1975 Honda XL125 enduro engine swap project. I end up pulling the engine out of the TRX and try to squeeze it in the XL 125 frame. Can I make it work? Wish me luck!

Sorry I missed the chat. Great video though!

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

No worries, next time 😃 I'm wondering if Friday's after work aren't the best time for everyone. I might start doing the premiers on Sat or Sunday night.

@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS might just have been the holiday weekend. I'm sure a lot of folks are traveling.

@@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS I usually get my best performance on Sunday evenings for some reason.

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

Cool, thanks for the info. I was thinking of picking a day that works for most folks and stick to releasing the videos that same day of the week every time.
