Thanks Matt, for some of us it really is. Thanks for watching.

[@scottmagee9709]

I had one in the early 80s......what a blast from the past!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thx bro!

[@mrcbuilds]

Hey Scott, yes they are! Thanks for watching.

[@444Vide0s]

You’re channel really does help me out with three wheelers and old Hondas thank you mr builds 💪

[@mrcbuilds]

Thank you Taylor, I am glad it helps

[@joshvandruff1790]

You saying you do it because you didn’t have it as a kid. I feel that. The reason I got a go kart and mini bike is because I didn’t have one as a kid. I had family that had them. But I didn’t get to ride them a lot. It brings back the kid in me to ride things like that. Keep on doing awesome work and rip them hard! 🤘🏻

[@mrcbuilds]

Thanks Josh, I had a great childhood, I really wouldn't change a thing, but I remember these, and never got the chance to experience it. I am living out those fantasies' one build at a time. Thanks for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@severi77]

Hey dude, thanks so much for showing this video on this machine. I had a black one for about 6 months rode on Saturday worked on it on Sundays...lol , my father won it in a poker game . I loved this machine. This video reminddd me of some great memories, i was able to FINALLY able to show my son what it looks like from all the stories I shared..

[@mrcbuilds]

Thats great, sharing these old machines with the next generation. Thanks for watching.

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Exceptional, a goal, some knowledge, ambition and perseverance. The total package.

[@rickbarger7921]

When the Odyssey came out I bought a new one at Honda store in my town he He was not gonna let me take it you said he needed it for demonstration My Honda Odyssey It was supposedly one of the 1st it was under 1200 sold at the time and most of them not in America That damn thing was the funniest vehicle I ever had in my life I tortoise shit out that the inclined hills went word some 4 wheelers Couldn't go I twisted the frame up on it though I was rolling in and over in forward when it stopped I was still on my wheels took off again no things are tough thanks for the videos real cool brought back a lot of memories I'd forgotten

[@mrcbuilds]

thats what its about, reminding us of our childhood.

[@richbrock3596]

Great video! I have an 82 Odyssey and over all it’s in pretty good shape. It starts every time but is due for a new top end, which I plan on doing pretty soon. Your videos are very helpful and I appreciate what you do! I live in central Illinois and it was a long cold winter. I’m looking forward to riding in nice weather finally.

[@mrcbuilds]

Thanks for watching RICH, yep spring is coming! you can do it, download the manual and take your time, join some forums too

[@gregbissell4088]

I like the way you operate. Nothing is perfect, all about the fun factor on a realistic budget. Here is my latest score. I've been watching it sit under a tarp for 20 years. Then the tarp disentagrated and i was sure someone with more money would see it. So, I approached the guy and made a ridiculously low offer of everything I had and about shit when he went for it. The engin and gearbox were in 5 galon buckets tires were flat and it came with a box of random parts. 85 fl350 less than $1000 and a few hours of tinkering to get it going. Not a show piece. Like a beautiful woman, i wouldn't save her for the next guy.

[@mrcbuilds]

Thanks greg, if your not having fun, then whats the point. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel.

[@louieysursa5996]

[@patinabunker5340]

Awesome video as always! I really enjoyed watching you bring this buggy back to life, that's why I do it to! My problem is I can't get rid of them once I get them in good running shape,lol . Quickly running out of room in my shop. Thanks for the video sir.

[@mrcbuilds]

I am finding that may be the hardest part. Lol, but wow I sure like bringing them back. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel

[@user-wj9xq7ig2v]

How cool will it be to be the owner of this in another 35yrs and being able to watch this video.

[@mrcbuilds]

I have seriously considered signing all my builds with my welder somewhere hidden underneath.

[@williambartholomew5680]

Came just to see the Odyssey bomb around the property, not too often I get to see them outside somewhat rare photos, wish I had something similar as a kid. Anyhow, loved the video! And thanks for the outro, been in a tight spot with my powersports business suddenly & quickly dwindling in customer projects and it's very depressing and taking a toll on me in a few other ways too. Just got back from an interview at a job I don't want but might need to pay the bills, with it comes hardly zero free time and no sense of purpose compared to serving my community the way I have been. You're right, enjoy doing what makes you happy because it will end someday, hopefully this year doesn't include that day for me! Thanks again for the reminder! Best of luck with the projects!

[@mrcbuilds]

Thank you will, I dont want to be a downer, I hope to inspire and motivate. I hope I helped you a little. Do what you love while you still love doing it.

[@jasongiles1038]

Man these things are a blast for sure! I haven’t ridden one since the 90’s but it was so much fun I remember it like it was yesterday! Glad to see you fixing this classic beauty back up. Love your videos Mark! Super helpful and very inspirational! Thank you!

[@mrcbuilds]

I'm just fulfilling my childhood fantasies one build at a time. Lol I have some more parts coming, we will do a full romp video soon. Thanks for watching and subscribing to the channel

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

This is a really neat machine. It doesn't matter that's it's not perfect, you saved a peice of history and ran around and got muddy. Worth every penny of $600 if you ask me.

[@mrcbuilds]

That's what its all about! Thanks Hanky!

[@rickbarger7921]

One of the things I remember most these things tip over so easy I think everybody who wrote it tipped it over in the 1st 5 minutes minutes but you do not ever put your arm out it'll be broken I think sure as hell is fun

[@mrcbuilds]

Seems there were arm wrist restraints that were very common. I did not feel tippy, that could be because the seat is a little lower or I was not riding on asphalt or hard pack. I will be mindful of it. Thanks for the heads up.

[@redogman67]

Your channel is awesome! I just happened across it when I got my 87 TRX250 Four Trax back I had bought for my dad to ride but he upgraded. Somehow the youtube rabbit hole brought me here and I really like your casual but super informative style. I have wanted a Honda Big Red since forever and eventually I will get one, but I love seeing you restore and show off these wonderful machines! I am confident that if you continue what you are doing you will get a large following, your videos and content are fantastic. Don't forget it is like a snowball, slow to start but builds quickly. Your channel is every bit as good as ones that have 300K+ subscribers!

[@mrcbuilds]

Thanks Redogman67 for the kind words of encouragement, I have 2 goals with my channel to save old Hondas and inspire others they can too.

[@michaelmalaska1054]

Another great video. Welcome to the Oddy Club. Try the DG pipe mine runs a lot better since putting it on. When are you putting a harness on you will need it ? It will also run better with the air hose to the snorkle . I used a shop vac hose from Lowes for $25. The spun tank can be bought for $40. I used the 4 gallon size and it fits perfect.

[@mrcbuilds]

Thank you, I am really enjoying the oddy club. These are really cool machines. Yes belts for sure. I will look at the DG exhaust. Thanks again

Great video , you inspired me to rebuild my 81 200 . In your video on the 200 m you had a new piston top do you feel it,s something that should be replaced and why . thanks Bob

[@mrcbuilds]

Hi Bob, a new piston top? Let me go watch that video again, lol. PM me on FB if you want I would be happy to answer all your questions

[@BunkerBlog]

This is a sort of odd question, but how wide is the steering wheel on the FL250? I'm designing a custom wheel for my buggy and I'm basing the steering wheel off the FL250. My guess is that it's about 14" wide?

[@mrcbuilds]

I would guess between 14 and 16inch. Next time im by it will measure it for you.

[@BunkerBlog]

@@mrcbuilds Thank you, it would be a big help.

[@CubNole]

I just got one of these not running, with an aluminum fuel tank mounted high, the OEM tank is gone. Can I leave it gravity-fed as is, without much trouble? I already found the float/needle is stuck so I can’t put any gas in until I address that 😂 Thanks for the video

[@mrcbuilds]

Seems that is a concern for sure. I am struggling with that too. I found the factory float height was too high and it could be from the fuel pressure the higher tank. I am experimenting now.

[@CubNole]

@@mrcbuilds I've found conflicting statements on some old forums, but at least two members reported having zero issues with the stock Keihin carbs, gravity-fed directly to carburetor without the oem fuel pump. Few other's have claimed that you'll have a lean condition and burn up the works. Once my rebuild kit comes in and I get the carburetor fixed up, I'll let you know what I find.

I'm new to the game but everything I have read recently says these are prone to overheating because the engine is behind the seat with not enough air flow? Have you had that problem with your new heat shield?
