Really enjoyed this one!I don't know if anyone else will comment about it, but we've had several of those over the years and that oil pump is crap. They either fail or the young kids will forget to put any 2 cycle oil in the little tank. Then they wear out the piston/jug. I just finally gave up and bought a decal that says "USE 40:1 PREMIX" and stuck it on the tank! No problems after that!

[@McGyverGuy2Fly]

I’m fixing up a early ish 2000’s Chinese quad (Tao-Tao). I got it for $40 saying it needed a “carb cleaning”. I figured it was worth a shot. After a few youtube videos, several google searches and a couple weeks waiting for parts. I fixed it. New starter, new gaskets, new carb, new bushings for the whole thing, new battery, new headlight, new tail light and new to the quad plastics, it’s running like a top. It’s just a 90cc but my son loves it. Watching your videos just shows that determination, tools, trial and error and if available, vast knowledge. Junk can be resurrected. Idk if I would’ve gone as far as you did with this quad but my hat is off to you.

[@panfriedmarmot]

Mustie, I wanted to thank you so much, because your channel has taught me more about engines and engine repair than I every thought I would know. I got my hands on a busted leaf blower, junky little 25cc thing, and I'm going to try and get it working with what I learned. Thanks for sparking the interest in engines!

[@jimmyguy428]

The locating pins for the piston ring gaps on a two stroke is there to keep the rings from rotating, and getting the free end of the ring caught in one of the cylinder ports. Piston ring gap normally tends to migrate around which is not a problem for a four stroke, but can be catastrophic in a two stroke.

Dude, every video of yours, I'm amazed at what you manage to breath life back into. 👏👏👏

[@general5104]

THANK YOU, MUSTIE, FOR ANOTHER GREAT Fix It VIDEO ! Here's a few tricks for you to use... I started a kewl trick, when you're taking something apart, especially if you're not used to...Take your cellphone and take a picture of it. BEFORE you start. Write 1, 2, 3, etc on little 2"x 2" pieces of paper, and lay a number next to the item you're tearing down and take a picture. then tear down some more and show the part you took off and lay a 2 paper next to the item and take a picture. Do that all the way thru till the end. If something needs descriptive wording, write it and lay it up there and take a picture. When you get done, you have a picture book of exactly how it goes back together. I started that, back when I couldn't remember how the hoses went back on my wife's Cougar that I had just rebuilt the top end on. I gave the idea to a computer tech buddy of mine, that was starting to work on Laptops. He made an extensive library doing it...so even if someone ELSE tore one down, he could use that library and put it back together! Another trick, if you're afraid a pin is going to fly across the room, lay a piece of plastic wrap across your part and put a hole in it, just big enough for your punch to go in it. when it flys out, it is deflected back onto your table. If you have a "waist-coat drawer" under it, it goes in there. Dad worked on fishing reels, so there were tiny springs and screws that were easily lost! A friend of his worked on watches and clocks and showed him how to make a watchmaker's Waist-coat drawer". Its a 3"deep wooden frame (30" x 30" with 12" longer side rails that would stay up inside the runner slots under his workbench). The bottom of the drawer was a piece of heavy cloth, rolled onto itself and stapled all the way around its boundry. It hung down and laid on your knees a little, as you sat at your bench. When you tore down things, the parts would fall onto the white cotton cloth and become very visible. Dad used-white towel like shop rags. When one got a hole worn in it, he would change it out and turn the old one into a rag. He didn't loose any parts. I hope those three little goodies of different trades, will help you. You're already a wiz ! Those will just add to your toolbox of knowledge. Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸

@Mustie speaking of two strokes running backwards, I used to have a Harley (Cagiva) 175 when I was a kid that would occasionally run backwards after kick starting. The first time it happened I went flying backwards into the garage into some boxes! After that I would gently feed the clutch to see if I was going to go backwards or forwards after starting. 😄 The bike was an absolute PoS with terrible electrics and it vibrated so bad the bolts holding the pegs and mirrors etc would undo all the time. Happy Days. 👍

My best success with fixing broken plastic is using a dedicated wood burning iron. They come with great tips for this work. My favorite tip I would call spade shaped, or rain drop shaped. I run the point in and along the crack creating a valley and two ridges. Then I use the flat part of the tip to push the soft plastic ridges back down into the valley. Then I do it to the other side. I make the valley deeper than half way so when I repeat it on the other side, all the plastic has been melted and merged together. It works great. The crack disappears. And if your careful the repair can look great. Never like new, but as good as can be expected. Sometimes this will cause a little thinning in the area so I usually cut off a strip with a razor blade from somewhere else for filler.

Anyone who says it’s junk and will never run again has not seen a musti 1 video 👍

[@brianmoore5498]

i dont know why but this one got especially interesting as the minutes ticked by. at first i thought, well we are finally going to see one dumped right back into the dumpster but no! you are unstoppable and impressive. warm weather coming your way from michigan, enjoy and hope your thumb heels quick

23:10 - I think this is the first time I ever heard Mustie swear, or that I'd noticed. xD

[@danmackintosh6325]

First time you've noticed. If you go back to some of his earlier vids the odd S and B used to slip out, but i think he's been making a conscious effort to keep it family friendly since the channel has grown somewhat.

K3NnY_G I think he said “shed my fingers”, but he has said for shits n giggles a few times as well. Also loving the pocket rocket Yaris in your profile pic ;)

I so enjoy watching You bring back something that others has thrown out as junk.

"Previously on Mustie1 'FREE JUNKED SUZUKI 4 Wheeler, WILL IT STILL RUN?'.. And now the conclusion." Gotta say I winced a bit at that kick back. good to see you doing ok :) But did make for a bit of a cliff hanger. Reminds me of my dad telling me about hand crank started car engines and how they'd break your wrist.

[@sonofedmund5004]

There's a knack to hand cranking a car starter handle so it doesn't get you. My Dad showed me years ago, I think he'd learned by experience/pain!

[@SmallGrayBox]

@@sonofedmund5004 I remember my dad telling me this way back when I was a kid (70's) and think he had a old van that sometime had to be start like that. and yeah I'd head when a car engine kicks it can break a wrist. People just don't know the luxuries of modern cars lol

[@deserthunter8363]

I know it's hard, but old content is all that interesting.... I still really love the channel... Trouble is, I'm disabled and have watched many many of you old videos now.... But I'm still here....

[@robj2704]

Loved that cameo done on taryls channel. Taryl just posted a 1949 weed hog with no protective covers for the front. Wow the machinery made be forever were born was just amazing....
