I love watching good ol machines getting to work again.

[@conspiracyscholor7866]

I just got done watching another one of your vidyas now I gotta watch this one. "Go do something" isn't working out too well tonight lol.

[@SootyMangabey.]

getting me motivated to get my little ttr125l back running again, Was my first dirtbike, sadly she's not ran in a good 5 years. All she needed back then was a carb rebuild and a tube.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Do it!

[@theknifeconnection9571]

What he said

[@braddokken9191]

In the late 70's early 80's we all had Honda four stokes. They were cheap and parts were plentiful. We would trade for parts or find them at the motorcycle junkyard. They were also quiet enough that we could be away with riding them on the street to get to our riding areas. That was a nice win for us old guys getting that Honda running!

[@destry232]

That looked like a fun time! Glad to see the Honda of your youth back on the road. Classic first-ever two time appearance by Miss Daisy.🐕

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Quite fun!

[@jangles1839]

Woo hoo! Happy Friday everyone! 💙👊🏼

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good to see you Sir

[@danielgay4924]

Boy oh boy, that cam sprocket looked pretty rough. It mighta been time for a new one. I had a 1975 Honda CR125 Elsinore growing up and it was pretty beat when I took ownership. But it was a good ole bike to learn to ride on. Made me really appreciate a new bike, with a new clutch. Thanks for bringing back those memories Chad.

[@Hbzprojects]

Always a good part of Friday!

[@DanDan-yy8sf]

Dang !!! Chads a wild man !! Not a good episode if you have chapped lips. All this smiling has caused my dry cracked lips to bleed! Thanx a lot Chad ! This was an exceptionally fun video. Corn-field Quad racing 2023 loved it ! 🏁🏁🏁🏆🏆🏆

[@statencooper9341]

Last week I set in the hospital and watched your video this week I get to set home and watch your video no matter where I watch your videos I enjoy them you are the best sr

[@statencooper9341]

Sir

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Glad you're home!

[@BoFinn52]

You meet the nicest people on a 30 year old 125cc honder.

[@brucemasters9132]

Ton of fun watching you guys have a blast! Great episode, appreciate you and what you do!

[@morgansword]

I have a old quad runner outside my doorway under almost twelve feet of snow, hasn't been started in about two or more years. I got to do something this year for fun. Who knows, maybe I can break my one good arm a my legs don't work so put a tank shifter on it. Brings on some great memories of days well gone by. I had a new 750 Royal Enfield bike that as you know, the Britt's put the shifter on the right side and brake on the left. I foolishly let someone ride my new bike, not even two hundred miles on it. Did my best to explain what each lever on this bike did. He rode down the road nice and easy and did so good that I let him take one more lap. He comes ripping back and hit the shifter in his brain, it was the brake of course and wiped out my bike... I couldn't beat him to death for wrecking my bike as he laid in the hospital for months on deaths bed. Before he gets out, his lawyers contacted me with a lawsuit for a million dollars. I wound up paying him two hundred thousand out of pocket. It took me four years to pay a banker back that was a personal friend or he and I would have different endings to this tale. He would be buried next to his other short memory family and I would be a queen in some prison knowing my luck. At the time of this, I was still de training from being in the army olympics and was a giant of a man who never knew I had shoulders till I was nearly forty. I feared nothing figuring if a VC never killed me, few fellows of this side of the planet could not hurt me. Took a few real dandy battles for me to realize they come back in numbers and not small numbers. I will say that till they got more than five good sized goons.... I beat the holy heck out of some slow learners myself. I took the engine off of my bike and built a frame out of molly tubing and lets just say on the highway, nothing including my own cars could touch that rascal. Only four gears but so close together and if you missed a shift, it floated the valves and bent every last one of them. I spent more building this little four wheeler go kart than it would cost at the time for a brand new truck. I was working for Bendix corporation and made way way too much money plus had all of their equipment to use at any time including work hours. Its a job that I should of kept but I just ain't a company man. I got a check from them for ten thousand dollars saying my job was open anytime I wanted to come "home" with a home, salary, and company truck. I went to alaska where men are men and the women are loose as in you just lost your turn. I couldn't work with that share system so loved alaska, but stayed single. I really do miss my harley

[@frankeberhart265]

Loudest go cart I have ever seen! You are a piece of work sir!

[@hendosexperience4703]

I love it, can we get some more of it. You alll had me rolling over the cautch watching this one man, thank you.

[@craigbowley6783]

I think miss Daisy should be the channel mascot. She's a sweetheart. And clearly loves you You should have her around for more time during the videos.👍

[@WingmanJohnny]

Well pops. Like to see you work. But I know they sell oversized stuff for that engine. Comes with everything. But keep up the great work. Good to see you have persistence.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

It's just a 100 tho. Why waste the money??

[@toddodell2904]

Back in the 70’s I owned a Yamaha 80cc I used to deliver papers with. Add some sea foam in your gas.

[@prevost8686]

I had a 80 & a 125 Yamaha. Sure did enjoy them. I wish I would’ve kept the 125 to look back on.

[@johnbrooks9107]

A pleasure meeting tha family

[@williammoore7727]

Excellent video!! Looks like a great way to spend time with your friends! This makes me happy 😊😊

[@statencooper9341]

Hello miss daisy nice to see you again

[@patdurkin5642]

Multi project episode love it!👍👍👍

[@johndenton5555]

I started seriously learning mechanics when I got a Honda 50 sport when I was 12, up until the newer stuff I learned took up the space in my head I could tell you what size fastener and where it was on all the bikes I rode, how the gearbox restacked, thrust washers or thrust and other type bearings were, etc. I still would not worry about pulling any apart, ordering parts, and re-aasembling them from memory. 😁 👍🇺🇸😎

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I use to have a good memory too....... use to. 🤣

[@richardphelan8414]

Cornfield drag racing ,farm style Good times ,Awesome Video Chad

[@johnhicks735]

Yes their called tang adjustment tabs. That adjust& levels out the floats inside the float blows. Now those carburetor's air fuel screws set 21/2 turns out to sync them altogether as one unit set-up the idle screws half to be set the same on them to. Their usually 11/2 turns out to.

[@stevenray1059]

Hey Chad your motorcycle reminds me of a Daisy BB gun I got at 8 years old. I kept it to give to my son some day. For 32 years it stayed in the gun cabinet and I was blessed to have a son to give it to. 👍

[@mistermacgray]

"It's don't smoke either!" *Cracks WOT, smokes like the devil* Typed during first start btw. You got it running, goal met.

[@2strokesforagoodtime157]

I'd love to see more on this gal. Especially since she's a childhood bike of yours

[@war7334]

Glad you didnt quit and put the old bike in the barn.Not a lot of quit in you or that old bike.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

It wore me out!

[@colin8532]

Well dang, now I gotta get me a two smoke atv lol

[@ronaldclark2624]

Nice video, thank you! Hasty repairs do some times go astray. It doesn't rhyme. Bench testing takes time but might be a good idea as the motor Rack was for dyno-running or something simpler! Ron, just a shade tree mechanic.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Wasn't any hasty repairs had in this video.

[@jameshopkins145]

Looks like y’all had a great time! That lil Kawasaki is pretty impressive for what it is. Hangs with ya pretty decent. I had a 1980 CR 80 Elsinore that was a snotty lil bike.

[@rm25088]

I am loving the quad and dirt bike content.

[@TommyIrl77]

Great video Chad, myself and a best mate of mine , we do the exact same thing here in Ireland, racing quads and bikes off road...thank god im a country boy...

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Ain't that right!

[@scottmmagby7057]

[@wilkersonsmowershop8379]

Hello miss daisy. Good times Chad thanks for sharing.

[@chadyates987]

Chad, brother keep up the good work. Great video and good time with family, can't ask for nothing better

[@richardphelan8414]

Two things you can do when checking for valve leakage with the head off on a 4 stroke engine fill the intake and exhaust ports then then check the chamber for leaks ,use a solvent based liquid Alcohol, or add a few drops of liquid soap to water to break the surface tension of the water

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I mean it seems what I did worked just fine and dandily so 🤷‍♂️

[@mikekennedy5890]

Great family fun !

[@swanie_6448]

Hey Chad. I am enjoying this build of your childhood bike. You said that you didn't have a name for that Old Dodge. How about Mutt or Elmer, or maybe just simply Dudge... Cheers to the rebuild, and to bad plugs...!! Ken

[@masonheggie706]

[@dannybenfield1164]

I have old Honda 3-wheeler big 200m

[@johnoldonekanole602]

How old did you say you were, 16. Great vid. I can remember the old days with a Yamaha 125 Enduro DT. Not fast but could climb a wall. Thanks for the entertainment. Stay young stay safe. .

[@ThisNThatGarage]

What I'd give to be 16 again!

[@babaninja9043]

I wanted to hear some of the trash talk. My go to was always “how did my dust taste”

[@ThisNThatGarage]

They got quiet when the camera was turned on. 😂

[@waltalbright]

Hello ,enjoyed the picture show.

[@elcomandante9299]

My tiller would not idle. Turns out the problem was the fuel cap. MLS may be world wide. 😂

[@michaelhaiden6718]

That was kool next time do a track race plenty of room for a big circle

[@ellismusser4326]

awesome video !!

[@theforce2802]

Good video, keep ‘em coming!

[@markmenzies4218]

you didn't check the piston ring end gaps in the bore. as for the carbs, you should take the float needle out. if it's not rubber or viton tipped then it's most likely got a wear groove/circle on the taper. you could dress it up, put it in a drill etc. then take the brass holder out, there is usually a little filter on the end. maybe dirty. good luck from perth scotland y'all !

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Who says I didn't?? Brand new needle and seat. I showed why it was hanging up.

[@deankeeler9395]

Great video you haven't beat on nothin in a while lol looks like good therapy!😂

[@johnhicks735]

Try running the grounds together as one body ground input. I recommend some marvel mystery oil& some gum out octane booster. Hey have you ever DIY at home ethanol free fuel before. The KZbin channel shows you how to remove the ethanol out the gasoline witch will lower the octane level yes until after the other process is completed first. Then you can add A little of both marvel mystery oil& octane booster back into your ethanol free gasoline fuel to raise the levels up again without having the ethanol in your fuel afterwards to.

[@jeffwilson3865]

Absolutely awesome drag racing I think you all done good. Good to see family having fun together 👍👍. God bless you all.

[@joedurt3364]

Very entertaining chad . Thank you

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

Great show brother 👏

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Presahte it. 👍

[@johnfarish9305]

Put some air filters on your carburetors it will help them they love the vacuum

[@dennishenderson2559]

Running like a banshee

[@Truckman1980]

Looked like you had a lot of fun out there racing! I sure would've!

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Had a blast!

[@tommarkham7760]

You're just a big kid old man but have fun doing it👍😁

[@jimstaszko1675]

Poor little Daisy!

[@mikeburpee3693]

I had a 250r 4 wheeler, that and all the old dirt bikes killed my knees

[@timoneill2451]

That was a lot of fun .wheres mom shes your biggest fan

[@johnhicks735]

It's the needle tab isn't leveled out to the float blow. That tab needs be straightened out untill it's dead level on all three of them.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Actually you set the level by measuring float height or by doing the clear tube method like I showed. The straightness of the tab has nothing to do with it.

[@kenwood8665]

Another excellent video

[@AJ-wj9ij]

I see you cheated a bit bro you had extra weight in your back pocket 😂 good videos

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Yeah that styrofoam handlebar pad weigh a whole 2 ounces. 😂

[@geraldharkness8830]

great fun!

[@dannysettles5646]

Man ..that was a Gooden...( viedo ) 😂 thanks

[@johnhicks735]

Try running some marvel mystery oil in the fuel to.

[@craigbowley6783]

Run some beeryman through it. Beeryman fixes everything 👍 I've literally made cars pass DEQ with it.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

I don't buy into snake oil stuff.

[@jeremyTallen1]

You the man!

[@richarddavis3007]

Need to hook the air filter back up it would run better

[@garyholder8843]

Love the video’s do you have any videos of your trans Am and what are you doing with it? I noticed you had the front end dropped out of it

[@ThisNThatGarage]

It's coming.

[@kermets]

Great Video.....Dont like that MLS beat you.......never haha

[@richarddavis3007]

I run mine for a hour get it hot then let it cool off the rings should be set

[@indiandoc2]

Does the valve have springs, like automotive heads & valves ? Could spring be broken or weak ? Ain’t a mechanic, just thinking ? Watch a lot of your stuff enjoy the down to earth attitude.👍

[@rchabit6917]

Yo you should do a subscriber drag race with a hog roast

[@chrissmith7655]

Hi, good to see you winning at SOMETHING Hahahaha.

[@YoungerPrice]

Man that black lt250 is clapped out lol

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Seemed to be the fastest one out there 🤷‍♂️

[@anthonycoach4551]

Is your black quad a 250r too I'll tell you what that black one sounds way better than the yellow one it's more responsive throttle wize runs better..I want to ride that gocart..

[@yellowbeard38834]

just watch you tear down the shop, what is happening with it? enjoy your vids.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

Hope to get it done soon.

[@johnhicks735]

Try running some ethanol free gasoline fuel high grade in that dirt bike premixed.,or unless it's A automatic oiler injection line into the carburetor to. This modern fuel draws in moisture out of the air into the fuel tank. I'd try marvel mystery oil.& Some ethanol free gasoline fuel it's bad on those carburetor's. Hopefully you get that dirt bike back running like new again.

[@ThisNThatGarage]

The dirt bike is a 4 stroke so it doesn't get 2 stroke oil.
