New Clone Carb And Other Repairs! 78 Honda Express NC50 Garage Find - First Ride In YEARS!

[@aaronb554]

Dude, that's the most adorable carburetor and battery I've ever seen. Love the Uni filter hanging off!

[@EvanWells07]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe a carb or battery as "adorable". I was looking more for tough, or badass, but I will accept it as a compliment either way.

[@miguelpagansr6128]

Looks like you’re having way too much fun, I have a 79 express2 and I really love it, they’re a lot more fun in stock form. They’re not fast but fun.

[@EvanWells07]

Not fast is right, but still a ton of fun to ride. The whole thing is a total flashback to my teenage years and is a ton of fun for sure!

[@EvanWells07]

Riding this instantly takes me back to my teenage years! Oh the good ol' days!!

I had a motorized 2 stroke bicycle was awesome but the rear wheel took a crap

I want this bike in some places this is a scooter and this 🛵 the emoji is the moped it's weird

[@illkid86]

If I had someone who could help me with my rear wheel on my motorized bike I'd be able to ride it again til then I have two e bikes

[@EvanWells07]

@illkid86 is it one of the bicycle kits with an engine on it?

[@miguelpagansr6128]

The thing with the lights is common on those bikes, the battery goes bad and people take them out and ride them like that. What happens is the electrical system runs on AC voltage as opposed to DC voltage.

[@POCarton]

Yes, same issues with ct90/110 and mb50s. Burnt out lights. I got tired of the factory battery not lasting, so I built 6 volt nicad packs for them. They work well to control the voltage to the lights and are less money.

[@EvanWells07]

@POCarton I have seen that done and was looking into it before buying a battery. I figured I'd pick a battery up and when it goes bad, I'd play with something like that.

[@nxprss8326]

Nice ride ! Been looking into picking one up myself !!

[@EvanWells07]

Thanks! I had been keeping an eye out for one, and this one fell into my lap! It was meant to be :)

[@jay7264]

Can absolutely relate to being able to afford stuff that I wanted when I was a kid. I have ct70 clone with a 190cc in man it tips I love being able to beat Honda groms with ease

[@EvanWells07]

The other one I had as a kid (after the moped) was a Honda Cub. Still keeping an eye out for a good deal on one!

[@boogiechassis7726]

Wait- you understand ignition systems? You're hired.

[@EvanWells07]

Hired? I didn't even apply for a job... Wait what's the pay like?

@@EvanWells07 I was expecting you yesterday.

My bad boss man, I'll be in first thing tomorrow morning.

[@BrandonEnderson]

Love it! One of the best videos to date!

[@EvanWells07]

Thanks!

[@boogiechassis7726]

Can't wait to see the high compression ported beast go together.

[@EvanWells07]

Its probably gonna be hard to keep the front tire on the ground with that much power ;)

[@YellowJacketGarage]

About as awesome as I expected it to be! I need to find something similar to see how bad I can hurt myself with it.

[@EvanWells07]

Lol hopefully you (and I) don't get hurt! If I do though, it will be trying to film stuff while riding one handed. Thanks for watching as always!

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Cool little fun bike! On to the mods. 😁

[@EvanWells07]

Thanks! Yeah it's funny how I'm remembering stuff as I go, all the little tricks and stuff come flooding back all these years later!

[@user-er7ic1we2s]

Thank you for posting! Trying to resolve a no spark issue on my '82 NC50 and thinking now it may be the cap/plug resistor combo issue. Not sure how to determine if either of them are resistor/non resistor. Could anyone out there explain how to determine the difference?

[@EvanWells07]

It may be the next video in this series (or this one, I forget the order) but I specifically show how to check the wire and resistor. It should have 5k ohms resistance in the cap if it's resistor style, which is how it came factory. The simple way is if it has a long boot, it's usually a resistor style.

[@roboxenford9301]

Great video! What was the replacement headlight you used?

[@EvanWells07]

It's a K&L brand that I picked up on eBay.

[@roboxenford9301]

Thanks ​@@EvanWells07! Also, saw the license plate said Warren County. I’m in Polk!

[@EvanWells07]

@roboxenford9301 Nice! I'm up in "the big city" quite a bit, maybe I'll see you around some time!

[@miguelpagansr6128]

Did you have to make the jet hole bigger? I have the same carburetor and I tried it on my na50 but it didn’t work. I haven’t touched the jet yet.

[@EvanWells07]

Yes I played around quite a bit with it to get it to run right at its top end. With all of that though I still couldn't break 25-26 mph. I have a few more videos on the moped where I try other carbs along with some other go fast parts.

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Over 2k someone was doing some riding

[@EvanWells07]

For sure! And all those miles with out breaking 30mph...

[@miguelpagansr6128]

Not bad Evan, I have a 79 na50 that's a sweet ride too. Feel free to check it out on my channel anytime.🎉
