Scrap Honda Engine Restoration Will It Run Again

This was one of a job lot of old rusty Honda engines that were basically sold as scrap. I want to see if we can bring this one back to life again and restore it to running condition.

Absolutely brilliant every time it’s very rare that you don’t get them going again ( amazing restore ) I miss your commentary on the video, you have helped me on repairs on my machines great work keep it up

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks Paul

[@paulstir]

You don’t half get some right cheek cunts out there , leaving negative comments, they don’t appreciate that you are displaying how to restore engines back to working order , taking time out your day to set up the cameras and the editing and showing the details of a restore 🖕 the haters

[@cherokeefiddler]

Pay no attention to the haters, Martin. You took a piece of scrap and make it look and runs like new. Also, I enjoyed the alternative of having no voice-over. Cheers to you!

[@ChuckHickl]

Functional restoration! No need to mess with the bits that are working. Brilliant.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Exactly Chuck, So many people who commented don't understand that concept.

[@donovanf1]

A good restoration Martin and the way the vid was filmed and edited made it very easy to follow what you were doing without you saying a word. Cheers Malcolm

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

They take longer to film and edit than my normal vids though Malc

[@jazeenharal6013]

I like it without music so much more. I love hearing the sounds, even sped up sounds.

[@AmigaA-or2hj]

I really love tinkering with old machines. Very soothing and relaxing. Even more pleasing is when it starts working again.

[@KeyserSoseRulz]

Great job. I did not see you checking for oil. But given how experienced and talented you are, you obviously did it.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Yes bud, oil was checked.

[@alexandrexavier3273]

Hello there! I usually check restorations and similar videos on youtube and dont worry, every major channel has its negative comments but you just got to move on and improve every time. What I like the most is the little details on knowledge that you have and go unnotices because you dont explain them on the video. Btw, congrats for the magnificent toolshack you have, its every man's dream 😉

[@biggaspirit1]

Really enjoyed watching this again . Having come across some of the negative/bollocks comments made previously. Found it very interesting and informative with loads of little tips and reminders , also appreciated the useful links added in your introduction. A practical restoration that worked. Thank you.

[@jamespatterson6338]

Great video Martin, very therapeutic to watch,and that's a great workshop setup you have.👍

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks James.

[@jebsails2837]

Good video showing some parts undergoing full restoration, while others get a clean-up What needs to be done and what can be done.

[@tomfox3697]

You make it look easy i have a g200 and had to replaced the coil, next is cleaning the carb so she runs without choke half in.

[@adslammer1359]

Very nice, I loved it when the paper towel got sucked into the intake!

[@rogeroconnor5182]

like watching a old silent movie except in color. sounds like a winner to me!

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks Rog

[@sirjameshughmcbride8627]

Fantastic! I liked the added touch of a new logo on the tank

[@henkmensen1500]

If I did this then the device probably exploded !!! hahaha Shout Out Monday....... UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Thank you Martin, Very nice job !!!

[@tarmac245]

I get it Martin. No needless expense. I enjoyed a good video. Thanks.

[@garyb8979]

Great video Martin it's a nice feeling of accomplishment when it goes back together and starts straight away

[@pigpen3499]

I like the way you work, only tear into the stuff that needs fixing. If it ain't broke leave it alone. Keeps your cost down yet full fills the purpose. Good video sir, i thought for sure after watching the video about the water pump engine that was at the bottom of a pond you were going to really tear into this one. But you didnt need to! 7 pulls and she was running and zero smoke! I enjoyed another one!

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks bud.

[@martinhew981]

Great video. I enjoy this format as much as the other. Look forward to the next one.

[@vespamorelli7090]

Fantastic as always Martin. Learning so much from all your videos. Great to see the grandkids playing in background also. All the best. Tom

[@wemy70430]

Great vid. I have got rusty 10 y o 5hp honda engine. Idle all the time.

[@davidlough2182]

great video martin . what a transformation ! thought it was going to take off across the garden when you started it lol

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

So did I Dave lol

[@Britec09]

You know your shit Martin, I'll give you that, great video.

[@TheBowersj]

Thank you, very educational and I appreciate all the hard work that you did. Keep doing great things!

[@davehowe7332]

Love it brother, remind me of my late father he always doing something like this thanks old buddy.

[@james1976-nov]

Haters gonna hate, it worked and that's all that matters.

[@bumsmodified98xj]

You do awesome work You must get em for free people thinking they will never run again But you know what your doing and take it a next step further than anybody i ever seen and actually restore them run and operate with almost %95 of it's original parts! You must have awesome garage sales/flea market/offer up and sell em as slightly used! Awesome good work👍

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Cheers bud.

[@tonycalow708]

Nice one RetroHax. I enjoyed watching this restoration unlike some on here. Keep up the good work.

[@huckinfarley]

300k views says it all. Great video as always, I totally get it, good job and many skills.

[@olipritchard8151]

That carplan choke and carb cleaner, for the price (£1 a can in the uk) is by far the best value for money cleaner I've found. Also their brake cleaner. Its not the best, but for the price, its outstanding.

[@Patrick4959]

brilliant restoration work on the Honda there @RetroHax mate you cannot go wrong with the Japanese technology and it almost looks like a water pump engine or a older generator motor from my view

[@birdie399]

Amazing what a clean up can achieve. You did state that you wanted it to run not necessarily a renovation. Complainers should just enjoy the process. Well done, an entertaining video.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Exactly, This engine was left for dead and now it works. Cheers Martin

[@blackhatter011]

Wrong he said in the title "Scrap Honda Engine Restoration"

[@shazzammagic]

Enjoyed that Martin.....like a new un now 😉 now to restore that bike it will go in lol

[@DaveJudd]

Honda engines must be the best seller of all time.

[@timvatter2559]

Nice job. Love the nickel plating work.

[@and36351]

Another job well done Martin …..KEEP IT UP

[@petefroud5308]

Great job Martin . Them frigging studs are a right pain . Cheers Pete.

[@andyk7217]

That runs nicely...good job Martin

[@brianpercival1829]

Great job. Finally! After all these years....SEKONDA watch. Always wondered what kind it is.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Haha, its a bit battered now though Bri lol

[@AW-Services]

Loving your electro plating process. Very worthwhile and great to see

[@jackfairweather199]

Nice work Martin. Blinging up the tank and air filter really polished the apple perfectly!

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Yes it made all the difference.

[@David-y8m8z]

These videos are useful because I always wonder how people fix old parts or find replacement for old parts. Plus I tend to forget how to put things back after I take it apart. Watching my video afterwards help to remind me. Stupid me. Cheers

[@HKBngl-wg5jk]

Bro, you're a talented guy. Please make a paint cabinet. This is necessary for your health.

[@baldanddangerous1572]

one word .......fantastic......................................all the best......................dougie

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Cheers Doug.

[@treebutcher2000]

Great video, enjoyed watching, keep em coming.

[@Cavalier_Steve]

Nice one Martin looks great now.

[@douglastalbot8031]

Great video Martin, you have a lot in common with Mustie1(only strip motor if it needs it).

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Exactly Doug, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@rtesimpson]

Well done getting it running!

[@VeradonaRestoration]

[@bigdan2766]

[@paulelliott2861]

[@psi23k]

[@ergz-vr6]

Love these video’s. Good work Martin 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@hernanr.]

hello MetroHax, i can see the engine is better than others, just a clean up was enought to put it to run again! ..by the way ... you were not very kind with it. did a very good job, thanks for sharing.

[@williamclements273]

Fast forward is very useful, not so much when done almost

[@richardnielson3761]

So did you at least pull the top end off to get the towel that you sucked in while checking for spark? nice little mini bike engine

[@bfraser80]

Wow superb Martin

[@Patrick4959]

looks like a good old engine from a water pump from my view on farms and so on and yep you cannot kill your Honda 4 stroke engines and machinery and Made and assembled in Japan and made of that easy to start technology etc

[@Eelamakan]

Great good video 👌👌

[@paulthompson5416]

There wasn’t much left of the exhaust 😂 the small Honda engines are almost bulletproof. another great restoration 👍🏼

[@468delray]

same motor that comes on the Chinese doodle bug minibikes... good job getting it running again. I believe they rate them around 2.5 hp

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks for the info.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Nice job, good repair on the mufkin and tank bolts. There’s your dinner! Credit to Taryl.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Haha, Good old Taryl lol

[@stebenit]

great vid as always ,atb Steve

[@taffy7404]

Excellent job Martin...🇦🇺🕊

[@thadmacmillan]

Can't believe you had to check the fit on the 10mm socket :)

[@johnstubbs1585]

Great job buddy wonder when the last time that was running judging by that air filter and condition of it must been a while

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Not for many years I bet John, Runs sweet now though.

[@SCOTTISHPREPPERVARIETYCHANNEL]

loving this format but still like your way of explaining thing i bet your tempted martin fantastic hopefully more to come

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks Chris

[@rstephe]

Wow. Nice job. That deserve a like and a subscribe.

[@bizarreandbrilliant]

Thanks bud

[@nandom3]

Great job!

[@slundy]

nice work man! Thought you might clean the engine itself, but it's running smooth, don't fix it til it's broke right?
