$175 Yamaha PW50 Project - Part 5

After coming to terms with the issues in part 4 we jump in and start dismantling the PW 50. My main goal was to remove the engine and have a look at the top end and crank, but to do that many of the chassis components need to be taken off.

This guy is incredibly knowledgeable about what he does

[@BurningRubberDC]

These videos are awesome! You are a hidden gem of a channel!

[@thegamingmonsters9810]

I've learnt more from this man than any scholarship

[@private1712]

This man has done so much for me I learned how to fix a old trashed ttr125L what I got really cheap and then I traded it for a older kx125 and fixed that up and now I have a great bike and this spring I’ll be able to fulfill my childhood dream of racing motocross

[@vorhese]

stumbled upon your channel somehow. Been watching it all day. I love how positive everyone is, just great attitudes, and fin watching the DIYness of it all go down. Thumbs up.

[@jenniesgarage]

Glad you like the videos!

[@mopardude6969]

Its so awesome to have your little boy helping you and learning early about bikes. You guys are great parents!!

[@Nickelyoonthehop]

2 days in a row?!? Happy days are here again! Not sure if you'll turn your nose up at the country of origin.....but pw50 head kits can be found on the bay for about $50 shipped. Piston, cylinder,head,etc etc. just an option. The choice is yours. Keep up the great work.

[@mrjohhhnnnyyy5797]

I love this format! Seeing a new video from you makes me happy.

[@Schbouygan]

Been watching your videos for a while and really like you getting back to the raw feel your early videos had, But also enjoy your higher production videos as well. Maybe a mix of the styles so that you can upload more.

[@jenniesgarage]

thanks for the feedback, I'm trying to balance good quality, and reasonable editing time

[@Schbouygan]

Jennies Garage keep the videos coming and ill keep watching they always contain good content regardless of the style.

[@P6_7R_Nick]

Your wife is awesome! So into what you do. You're a lucky guy.

[@teddakdag]

and he gets to call her "Turkey" lol

[@mbvjg4217]

Tedd Akdag and he gets to see her naked

[@taorain1092]

His wife is annoying as

[@shipmaster567]

Thanks for another great video guys, as much as its a pain to have to do this unforeseen work at least its another notch on the belt and your son will be getting a fully rebuilt vintage motorcycle that he's helped to fix, something to brag about in school! Keep up the great work Jake and good luck with the move!

[@dayuntoday]

I always use the rope and put in the spark plug hole,its safe to all components. Nice little bike looking so quality,looking forward to seeing p3 best regards 😁

[@kmx509]

I miss the times where you uploaded much sooner, your videos are so entertaining!

[@NorthFloridaMan]

I love your ingenuity keep up the good videos stay persistent

[@boombob10]

Working on a project is like watching a Billy Mays commercial, but wait there's more

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

Love your videos, I get entertained and I learn something in the process, very cool ! and you have uploaded 2 videos in a row? AWSOME Sauce!

[@TeePea276]

7:50 For anybody trying to remove tight screws, pick up a impact driver set. They are basically a screwdriver that you hit with a hammer. The impact does two things. 1. Drives the screw bit into the screw for better connection. 2. rotates the screw to loosen it. Thiis prevents the screw from gettinng stripped. They cost about $40.

[@mrc1539]

Impact wrench for flywheel, Battery, Air or Electric they will all work without need to hold flywheel with anything more than your hand. Good Luck and keep the videos coming.

[@cboz7414]

Thank you for the videos!! Ur awesome. I own a YZ426 and that help a lot. TY

[@henripuustinen4642]

Impact screwdriver. A life saver when working on previously meticulously maintained motors with factory spec torqued small screws.

[@lukemartin7029]

I like the new format.

[@5Minuteman]

"You think you can do this in one day". Wife knew the future.

[@rigguyjt]

I found that an aluminum climbing hook (keychain) makes a great gear stopper.

[@HorsepowerGarageVideos]

Impact is the easiest way to remove and install flywheels.

[@finnsillibourne9772]

Hell yes 2 day up load thanks man!!

[@throttlehappy105]

2 days in a row!!!! Yes keep it up!!

[@lowpro73]

thank you for the videos I've been waiting almost a year for another Shasta trailer video I've watched almost all of them five times I'm rebuilding my own 59 Arrowhead trailer when is the next one coming :)

[@rigguyjt]

also the tusk clutch tool would hold nicely in the access holes on the flywheel.

[@dave1135]

Little tip for breaking Phillips head or JIS screws loose if you don't have a impact driver, take a large end punch and place it on the top of the screw head and smack it a few good blows with a hammer, should pop loose easy then

[@hurrikain0845]

This dude has 30 Coca-Cola cans in his garage

[@domenice3756]

great vid man you could put the top end back together and then fill the cylinder with rope via the spark plug hole

[@OzGonads]

Exactly what I was thinking. Works a charm on chainsaws.

[@daryushnadjafi6673]

It’s so cool for me to watch this video i used to have this little bike when I was a kid I would tinker as well clean carb and stuff without youtube

[@mxdocumentarytvmxdocumenta2221]

First off id like to say i love your vids and i am guilty of doing these projects more than anyone for 800 bucks you can a good 2nd hand yamaha pw 50 or you could buy a chinese pw copy which is as far as i know are 100% identical to the yamaha pw 50 the chinese pw is $800 brand bew with a 12 month warranty i can assure it will not break with a 5 yr old learning to ride and would offer. Atlest 2 years hassle free riding

[@Chern889]

Rope in the spark plug hole or impact gun to rattle off the nuts, OR best yet is the proper flywheel holding tool, I've used mine more times than I can shake a stick at, they look like vice grips but instead of jaws they have a long nose that is bent at the end to hold around a big bike clutch basket, and pins to fit into flywheel holes, they are TUSK brand from rockymountainatvmc

[@mansonmydog]

you can use a cloth rag between the meshing gears to hold the engine from turning

[@DesertRatFabrication]

Are you going to start more videos, it has become one of my favorite go to's

[@rfelectrons]

If you are pulling head bolts with a 1/4 inch ratchet, you may be a watchmaker. Glad to see camera girl is wearing the OSHA approved sandals;-),

[@Garage885]

Good format. the many videos are awesome!

[@Nickdifilip]

Woo two videos in two days awesome

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

I would get a honing wheel and clean the cylinder up myself and get a larger piston and rings if i had to, and shave the head and make it work as well, even if I had to dremel out the head to fit the piston, and repolish it as well. That will give it more power, put a new crank with rod bearing and end crank bushing or bearing whatever it calls for. Then you know what you have and that it will last a longtime and may even make it last longer to sell when the boy outgrows it.

[@libertyforamericanow]

@Jennies garage I almost hate seeing you turn bolts by hand I almost want to buy you a quarter inch cordless impact driver myself. saves so much time!!!

[@libertyforamericanow]

and a 1/2 inch drive impact for that flywheel nut. dang I was wanting to see that crankshaft tonight.

[@jackrutherford-1]

Interested to see if you will need a new crankshaft. I'm betting you don't but I've been wrong before. I assume the old crankshaft would have to be bent to merit replacement. Also you may be able to hone the old cylinder or the other old cylinder depending on the scoring damage.

[@jackrutherford-1]

piston stop would do the trick but you would have to put the top end back on or a clutch holder but if you insert it too far you can damage the coils.

[@300zxdriver]

I was thinking about buying one of these for my grandson, not after watching these videos. I’m going to buy a Honda cfr 50 and I won’t have to work on it constantly.

[@toamataafa4647]

Awesome...doing it for your son is priceless.

[@HorsepowerGarageVideos]

Pro Tip: Use a vice grip to break those Philips screws loose, just clamp it onto the head of the screw.

[@bruddaozzo]

Ive noticed people are quick to throw away cylinders because of some scratching. Just use a hone, lubricate with WD40 and it gets it plenty smooth enough.

[@ethanmiller7263]

I like the video I'm about to do a full rebuild on my daughters pw50 but I can't find a step by step tear down is it complicated doing the bottom end I can't tell if there's a lot involved help please

[@sigadoonie1613]

Man I’m loving these

[@zx8401ztv]

Most of that ill engine looks ok, that's a supprise as the oil had water in it, i think. The penny sounds good enough, copper/aluminium is soft so it won't kill the teeth, but take up the play on the flywheel side first before using a poor mans impact, smack the end of the ratchet fast with a lump of wood to loosen the nut :-D. The little piston reminds me of a puch maxi engine piston, cute but often at 10:1 compression. I'm glad you havnt given up, it's a cute machine :-D

[@danpluso]

Phillip-head screws on a motor just seems so wrong to me, lol.

[@chadcoady9025]

You probably fouled the plug the first go round since you didn't have much fuel, but you had oil injection. It started first kick because the plug dried off a bit since the previous attempts.

[@28imike]

can you not lock the crank with a piece of wood under the piston skirt?

[@Romansflights]

love new format

[@larsvegas1505]

if u want to pull a flywheel nut... just use a air powered wrench.. or take the piston off and put a rod through the hole where it sits.. blocking the enige from turning.. thats how wed use to do it back in the days..

[@justinrhoades533]

I like the format

[@goham2558]

Lmfao at the left hippy shoe @0:58

[@bullenharben9905]

You can replace the whole engine on a 50cc mini moto dirt bike for £40 delivered in jolly old England. However, finding a bargain enduro project is nigh on impossible. By the time you buy a non runner & do the necessary work, you might as well get a decent one. Enjoying the videos very much though. I enjoy doing exactly what you are doing, but struggle to find anything cheap enough to bother with.

[@MrLarsgren]

usually i just use a hammer shaft under the piston if piston is gonne be replaced anyway.. or on engines with exposed flywheel i made a piece of wood with a leather belt attached to it. good for tightening and taking stuff apart. fit all sizes and can be found for a few $ in second hand stores or just cheap chinese junk belts.

[@aaronrood4508]

How do you know so much about engines and fixing them? How can I learn?

[@derbionnatsituotantoa3061]

I have learned many thinks thankd to you!👍

[@whatelseison8970]

Lol I knew it. Same shirt. I love it.

[@eriklohne8395]

Hey Jake have you ever done a build using a bicycle and one of those 2 stroke motor kits

[@garyfisher1503]

Best method is to fill the cylinder with thin rope to gold the crankshaft still.

[@leotyler605]

why didn't you put the barrel on the other engine ? good work tho

[@thezacharymccarthy]

daily videos! nice keep it up

[@superaidenproductions1870]

Yo I love ur guys videos u should do a Pw 80

[@nike12000haha]

Keep em coming!!

[@garryscutcher]

It's ground hog day. Turn on phone, Jennies Garage video. go to work, come home, turn on phone, Jennies Garage video.....agree. Watching you take that bike apart was better than watching "better call saul"....

[@chubrikzhopa4881]

Air cooled 2 strokes the exhaust ports gets hotter than the intake and tries to seize the piston

[@lwlcgarage9943]

Will you sell one of those carburetors

[@nike12000haha]

Looks like there is 3 bolt holes on fly wheel get a piece of metal and use 2 of the bolt holes and make a handle to hold onto

[@marchood99]

I swear when your taking that clutch case off its cracked but then when lifted of seconds later its one piece??? Lol

[@funnyjackson2732]

Lot of work

[@randyrowe3097]

Hey you're getting more views. More camera girl please. No disrespect but she makes the videos good as well. That boy too. It's pretty cool Jen has learned a lot

[@Brian-ff7tw]

why can't you just throw a new top end on the crankcase from the swap meet? theatrics?

[@JohnnyRoseShit]

It maybe isn't new, probably all rusty...? And he doesn't just need a top end.

[@jenniesgarage]

That's a good idea. The main reason I'm not doing it is because I already paid to get a title and registration, and the engine number for the original motor is on the title, and would like to keep it matching.

[@Brian-ff7tw]

Wow, thats crazy. i never even thought of title/vin issues on little bikes like this... here in Texas if it isn't street legal luckily the Government doesn't get involved. Sounds like you are dealing with the oppressive Californian government..

[@bryanandrew1743]

I did a rebuild on a pw 80 New piston and crank bearings gasket kit it cost me 400 bucks

[@morttaari9125]

Your son has a good father just saying:)

[@bozo5082]

you know u can machin e that and either sleeve it or a larger piston.

[@badeyes1912]

love the vids

[@Codyjames83]

Get yourself a unpacked driver there cheap i paged like 12 bucks comes with a few different types of screws flat heads and a 3/8 for bolts

[@hondamanatc4life983]

One way bearing behind the can triple clutch

[@robmckennie4203]

I did some work on my younger brother's scooter the other week, and those fucking philips head screws on small engines will drive a man to madness. I wound up drilling out a couple, and they got replaced with hex head screws.

[@pollywaffle1458]

They say they live on a ranch...., when we can hear tons of cars going past, I'm guessing they live next to a highway😂, a ranch is a house surrounded by land and not next to a highway

[@joelcr250]

Love me some bike vids

[@sidecarbod1441]

Dude use an impact driver on those cross head screws!

[@jenniesgarage]

I agree that would be handy. If there's a deal on one for black friday I'm picking it up.

[@sidecarbod1441]

When you try to use it place it on the screw that you are trying to undo or do up then twist the body of the driver fairly hard in the direction that you want the screw to turn then hit the impact driver with a hammer, that seems to be the best method of using the tool! Nice set of video's by the way, I watched them at work and managed to 'use up' at least half of the day!

[@texsurfer]

go buy a $10 manual impact wrench for getting case screws out. life will be better if you do :)

[@datto240z]

hell yea

[@bmbott123]

I never trusted the oil injection system. Unhook and use premix gas in tank

[@briansmith611]

OMG nothing will get out of alignment. Use animpact gun and take it apart

[@chaseme81871]

lmao hippy shoe. i say that to my wife. she just rolls her eyes.

[@brandonquenneville7330]

thanks man

[@Brasscapflush]

Impact wrench!

[@dakotajones5332]

The last owner put orange juice instead of oil

[@MechRider89]

air compressor and impact, done deal.

[@HasseBigBicep]

6:49 smörgosbord

[@mblake0420]

at this point I would have used it for parts and bought another

[@chrisdk5665]

This dude somehow resembles Paul Rudd, anyone else?

[@kubooynykh8136]

Look at babetta motor that's small

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Look at it this way, you put a big bore kit on the Husky that you wanted for yourself. Is your boy less important than you? Doesn't he deserve a big bore kit as well, for a new top end rebuild?

[@jasminealexis912]

what a beautiful baby lol

[@seanarchibald8132]

By the time you're done your kid will be to big to ride it

[@Bcoots]

Sean Archibald guess you never seen how this guy works
