FIXING Stand up Scooter 2 stroke to 4 stroke Honda conversion

Nearly 1/2 I'd say. The original 49cc 2 stroke vs this 31cc 4stroke doesn't have much if any power difference. The 4 stroke has more grunt off the line but falls flat at higher rpm/speed. Where the old 2 stroke takes forever to start moving but keeps pulling at higher rpm than the 4 stroke. How fast was I able to go? around 20mph in speed one(has 2 speeds) and wasn't able to get it to pull away in 2nd gear. I did have a little downhill part that gave me a nudge and I may have hit 25mph. A 120lb kid wouldn't have an issue and this would push 30mph easily in 2nd gear. This doesn't sound fast but you fell like your clipping along at 20mph on this and the steering gets twitchy.

I don't usually learn anything new watching mechanical things on KZbin, I'm the guy talking out loud telling them how to do it right. But I really learned something on this video, the best ever way to lube a throttle cable. Thanks

[@fraydnot]

If you have a bicycle repair shop near, they throw away bike cables all the time. Love the scooter, never seen on of those. Thanks for the upload

[@sixtyfiveford]

Great point!

[@mikespain8655]

I will use the Tygon fuel line on the cable lube trick. Nice of you to help the boys out on the scooter.

[@blazinggazelle6957]

Fixitman, you are the best fix it guy I've watch on KZbin. Just don't let PETA see this video with the pooch on the scooter. They will terrorize you from that point on.

[@dukesworld3020]

Great job, Your dog really trusts you. 👍👍

[@aleblanc3547]

I’ve got a Honda string trimmer with a similar engine I bought in 2005. It still starts cold on 2 or 3 pulls and on 1 pull when hot. It’s burning a little oil but that’s probably due to valve seals. No oil and gas to mix and no annoying “mosquito scream.” Honda power is no joke. 😊

[@sixtyfiveford]

Yeah, great little motors.

[@DoingItCheap]

Another awesome episode featuring Ginger the Wonder Dog !

[@gadsdenconsulting7126]

Was anyone else picturing him with a rifle and gas bladder slung over his shoulder, riding with his doggo, all Mad Max through the urban apocalyptic landscape? This channel is in the top 10 of all KZbin content for me. 👍👍

[@sixtyfiveford]

Heck yeah! I love the Mad Max style.

[@rustycrustytriesstuff]

That’s pretty cool! Back when I used to race go carts, we used 1/4” freezer line with bulk purchased cable to make throttle cables. It’s nice because you can use the ferrel fittings to mount to whatever brackets you make. Plus you can make them whatever length you want them and they don’t freeze up like the metal sheathing. They will wear out over time but easy and cheap to replace. I don’t recommend them for brakes though unless you soldered the ends.

[@sixtyfiveford]

That's awesome

[@BruceLyeg]

I always wanted one of those when I was younger! These are illegal here but the rental electric ones that are twice as fast are fine... Nice job on the swap, that's a big improvement.

I had one of these 20 years ago it was a lot more basic but loads of fun and better than pedaling lol I'm pretty sure my neighbors didn't like it much at 3am 😂

The 3:00 a.m. two-stroke screaming up the street is always a fun one. I remember dreaming about having one of these 20 years ago

Ginger is awesome! My dog Rocky freaks out from the weed whip. Love those little Honda motors they run forever if taken care of.

[@yukonjack.]

A blast from the past.😄 I added a few ounces of trans fluid to my 20+yr old cracked wheelbarrow tire, worked like a champ! Part of the fluids job is to swell rubber seals. Btw Ginger Rocks! I have the same tight connection with my adopted Australian Shepherd, (tri-colored red) 💞Midas rescued me!!✌️

[@michaelbrinks8089]

🤔 I'm guessing trans fluid might work pretty good in riding lawnmower tires that aren't too far gone.

[@yukonjack.]

@@michaelbrinks8089 Most definitely! put in about 5 or 6 oz give or take, air it up, spin it around a few times and you're good to go, try it tomorrow friend. ✌️

[@michaelbrinks8089]

@@yukonjack. I'm gonna give it a try in my 10+ yr old moving dolly tires. I figured tire slime wouldn't work.....So I bought 2 repair/conversion, innertubes a couple weeks ago for under $10 at harbor ⚓ freight. Instead of 2 new wheels/tires for $25....I'm gonna try the trans fluid 1st, to see how well it works & let em soak for a couple weeks. It'll recondition the inside of tires before I put the tubes in. I made some tire/inner tube liners out of some scrap black rubber roofing material. To help protect against flats from sand burs & goatheads. The diy tire liners worked in my bicycle/no more sand burr flats....There's an automotive product called AT-205 reseal, that works really good also to recondition exterior rubber & internal seals....It's a clear liquid, but now thinking about it, its probably the same chemical additive that's added into trans fluid for the rubber seals. There's a bunch of KZbin videos about the at-205 reseal.

You and Ginger riding the scooter was the best part!👍

Great job, Moe! :) You might add DuPont Chain-Saver to your affiliated links next time. I not only use it on bike chains, but on small engine parts such as choke assemblies because it doesn't attract contaminants/no binding up.

Great video, as usual! Can't believe Ginger will stay on that scooter with you, that's crazy.

[@sixtyfiveford]

She was hesitant and twitchy on her first ride here for the video. I ran around the block a few more times and she got way better

[@DAS-Videos]

Cool scooter. You made it better than it ever was. I have an 11 year old FG110, I didn't know about that gear. The entire tiller is not cheap, I see they now go for $450.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

A buddy that ran a concrete pump found a little 2-cycle mounted to a skateboard in a dumpster years ago. Don't know if he actually got it going as I dropped out of the loop shortly thereafter. Don't think Ginger is too enthused over that rig either. Happy Happy and God Bless

The things kind of sketchy without a passenger. 50 lbs kept going left and right underneath me making the steering very twitchy.

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

One of the main "death trap" issues with the scooters are the very short handle bars... if you fall, you can get poked hard and have internal organ injuries without more than a bruise on the skin... Just watched a video about a girl who fell, barely had a bruise, but her mom took her to the ER within 24 hoursbecause she had some pain... turned out she was bleeding badly internally.

[@chadhelmer3835]

I can hear the song "Best Friend" (from Courtship of Eddie's Father) playing in the background while you and Ginger are riding on the scooter. 🤣

[@cjtronan]

Hi there! I just subbed cause of this video! I do have a question: I have a 2 stroke stand scooter 49cc, and I was driving one day and half ways I felt like the scooter started going faster than normal top speed and all sudden it bogged down and started clattering/smocking,before the motor shut off, what do you think happened? I noticed on inspection my carburator screws were really loose as was the air filter on top. everything was so loose, did I damage the engine, and what you think would fix it ? I have yet to really inspect it, but it would start but bog down. I also do not have fuel filter installed, could it be that the carburator got clugged up during ride and the motor stalled that way and wont work till I clean it ? I hope I didnt ruin the motor... It still wants to start but its not

[@sixtyfiveford]

2 stroke revving higher than normal is the engine running too lean. This can be as simple as running out of gas. But can also be an air intake leak.

[@cjtronan]

@@sixtyfiveford Thank you for the reply, I don't believe the engine was out of gas as I left the house. For the sake of argument, say it did get glogged somewhere fro mthe fuel, would running it 25mph and it suddently died like that with shakes as it slowly died? Also, would that hurt the engine in any form? Im just worried I ruined it, it was like " wow, this thing suddently is faster than usualy" to " oh sh.t its dying , and I see smoke too!" lol... it wasnt that smokey, white smoke when I finally stopped IF it really did hurt it, I would of seen black smoke, right and a lot of nasty smell? Thank you for the replies, you're amazing ! Im glad I subbed, I hope you can reply back to this last time

[@PeterLerkaram]

Most motorcycle riders pretty much only use the front brake... not sure on a scooter if that's better than a rear brake. Rear brakes are easy to lock up. Brake hard, weight goes forward, lifts off the rear, and then the rear locks up.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Because you stand on these, the center of gravity is just so high up front braking just has to be done very cautiously. It does work better when you're on a hard surface though, than the rear brakes. Problem is if the front tire locks up/ slides on these it immediately dumps you off.

[@gcranch9913]

Can you add that tireject to tires that presently contain slime sealant?

[@sixtyfiveford]

Personally I have after the slime has dried out (1-2 years). However, I don't think they recommend it but I have had decent results doing that.

[@Asomesauc]

Really great video I enjoyed it very much.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Oh Yeah!

[@RonHelton]

Did you rebuild the bearing for the handle or just replace it?

[@sixtyfiveford]

WD-40 and sent it. It's going to be a rusted ball bearing/ disintegrated cage, that I don't have. It smoothed out after the lube though.

[@RonHelton]

@@sixtyfiveford okay

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

[@themoelman]

11:32 thought you were a slime guy, but I'll try this stuff when I run outa slime

[@sixtyfiveford]

I still use slime from time to time and it works great. However, I think Tireject works slightly better and for way longer. Slime seems to dry out after a year and leaks can reappear. Slime mainly consist of a liquid holding cotton fiber and teeny rubber pieces to seal leaks. Once the liquid dries up, it leaves just a solid clump of cottony rubber stuck to the lowest part of the tire. Not all leaks reappear but I would say 25% do. With Tireject once it's sealed, it's sealed for life. Also you put in so little that it coats everything and there's never a clump left anywhere. Both work good though

[@doglegjake6788]

Excellent video

[@gcranch9913]

What a great dog !!

[@Singh_1989]

Those things are very dangerous. I've got one I put a motor from the harbor freight auger onto, and it is scary fast. It really sucks when the front tire blows out and sends you flying

[@sixtyfiveford]

15 years ago I broke my hand because the front tire caught a tiny bush hanging over the sidewalk and sent me flying.

[@JohnMGibby]

cool repurpose of the Honda engine. First I've heard of the Tireject. I would love to try it on my ATV tires, but previous owner put motor oil in them and now they are starting to seep oil. Grrr

[@sixtyfiveford]

I've had a lot of people comment about using motor oil in old dry rotted tires. I played around with this a little bit years ago without great success.

[@JohnMGibby]

@@sixtyfiveford I've had the 99 Yamaha Bear Tracker 250 for about 5 years, and it's a good unit w/ original tires. I only noticed the oil at the beginning of last hunting season. They've been fine up until then. But now I'm thinking the oil is starting to break down the rubber and that is what's causing them to leak. I can't imagine I would be able to get them clean enough to use the Tireject now.

[@sixtyfiveford]

@@JohnMGibby Yeah I wouldn't waste my time with sealant if there's oil in there.

4 strokes much more reliable, lucky it bolts right on. Looks like Ginger needed a wider platform, or might've been the holes she didn't like

[@martinsechrist1393]

Front brake stops you, rear brake just leaves skid marks, no weight on the rear tire when braking.

[@sixtyfiveford]

On a stand-up scooter like this was a center of gravity 5 ft off the ground, The front brake throws you over the handlebars.

[@martinsechrist1393]

I have to admit the few times I got on a Go-Ped, I promptly fell off. But my problem was controlling the throttle when my body weight exceeded the Weight of the Go-Ped by about 100:1. All three of my kids raced these scooters in the 80's and with reasonable skill/experience they were competitive and none had rear brakes.
