[@versatec1]

I like these videos...less show boating...more the real you😊👍

[@dave1135]

Soak that slide with pb blaster. It has additives wd40 doesnt that will break down the oxidation on it

[@MRTuning704]

One of my first bikes around 8 was a clapped Honda 3 wheeler with no brakes and I got it runing with the spark pug from my weed eater bike and pop starting it Only way to stop was to down shift Good times dumb parents

[@3DMachines]

I think i'd need brakes on a 3 wheeler. They're sketchy enough with brakes.

[@MRTuning704]

3DMachines yeah this is why I have learning disability’s now xD Jk seriously thoe wtf were Thay thinking even if my kid paid for it I would not let him ride that old death trap But shit we were poor 🤷🏽‍♂️

Old fuel makes slides stick my guy, Screwdriver pry up on the slide gently from the carb opening

[@dylancanning4285]

I agree 110% as a teen in the 2000s this is what I did for fun. I'm glad to see him back. To all you teens now wear gloves!!! when wrenching. My bike mech instructor in 05 had the hand shakes and told us to wear gloves. If you can't ride what you build what is the point?

[@codylapoint]

Those were great machines, better than the similar sized hondas of those days. My buddy growing up had an identical one except his really was trashed. That thing you have is near mint! Anyways it ran forever took beating after beating untill the frame wore out where the swingarm bearings would normally go, he rode it without any to speak of for years and destroyed the bearing housings on it.

[@brycecomer9922]

So now, Dalton is a part-time youtuber and a full-time mechanic ??

[@xRamRacing]

Well when you delete all your videos and turn into a "singer" for a month, it kinda destroys your fan base.

I rolled one of these as a kid doing a half ass jump & jammed the foot peg through my lower calf, 50 stitches later I was good as new

[@soowoo642]

Love the old yamaha 3 wheelers, my dad had a black and gold 225dx. I still have a Tri-Z as well, definitely hyped to see where this project goes!

[@ils360]

Easy pulling on that carburetor soak the thing in carburetor cleaner spray in the slides will release you pulling a hard enough and you'll break your cables or worse and everything is stuck because it's been sitting probably 10 plus years or 5 plus with ethanol fuel

My edit: they quickly started hating them! For obvious reasons. For them tipping over so easily. Three wheelers kinda ruined atving for my dad which is sad!😥

One of the most garnished carbs I've seen, good thing it comes right off with carb clean water corrosion in carbs is a whole different story lol, awesome bike super fun project bike that's still in amazing shape love yours vids keep these ones up haha

[@3DMachines]

I hope the cables unseize

[@quadvloggs6876]

@@3DMachines should but the real question is when will they fray and let go haha if not it's a small quad I'm sure ebay or amazon has some cheap cables if all else fails

[@kevinervin578]

Varnished carb.. paint thinner will maybe work if you soak it long enough. As soon as ya pull it out of the thinner pull the slide n choke out.. maybe.. if you still decide to keep that carb. Then wipe all that out. Paint thinner kinda melts that stuff away. Like tar after you soak it.

[@streetfire1]

great project to watch

[@quadvloggs6876]

Next time your having issues that bad with varnish and stuff being jammed domt be afraid to place stuff up with carb clean it will break it free the quickest

[@3DMachines]

I'll do that too. Thanks

When I was 8 my stepdad bought me a Yamaha 125. That was in 1980 I miss it. Lots of fun

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey 3DM!! A PZ27 or PZ30 clone carb will go on if U make the holes on the carb a little wider,

[@jeffhaselwood1962]

The wheels are offset see if they can be switched from side to side it's a good machine I had a 83 lots of fun to ride only problem I had was the ujoint

[@jordanengdahl4418]

This 100%. Those u joints and yokes kill alot of these. 225dr u joints are bigger and barely fit in the housing, but they are cheaper and last longer.

[@darylparker9393]

Good video. This is what got me hooked years ago. You tinkering with the play by play. Keep it up man.

[@cheliman1]

Had a slide stuck in a carb last year. Used brake cleaner, and it slid out after about 10 minutes of sitting. tried WD40 first, with the same results. Cleaned it all up with carb cleaner, and still runs great today.

Stay tuned to see how mine comes out.... Uploading tomorrow

[@jaredmiller1265]

Hey 3DMachines. I have the same problem with the throttle on my 1982 Honda Z50r. Hopefully you find the solution to this problem!

[@doobyboy21]

I remember going with my dad buying a brand new Trimoto 225 at the Yamaha dealership just like this one ! We loaded it in the trailer behind my dads old honda civic, we went to the woods near rapid lakes, my dad started the three wheeler my sister hopped infront I was in the back. We where rolling for about 10 minutes my dad did a quick turn and the ATC tipped and we all fell to the ground. I had a broken jaw my sister a broken leg and my dad had a few scrapes and burns... It was the end of the three wheeler my dad sold it and never ever bought trikes or quads again ! He felt so bad for all these years.

[@montgomeryben1988]

i used to have a 1984 Yamaha 200cc ATV, I always cracked up at the seat....SHAFT!!!!!!

[@montgomeryben1988]

It even has the same rear plastics, thats crazy

[@marcosalomons3038]

Whats up Dalton!

[@3DMachines]

Getting ready to eat some lunch. You?

[@kerr70]

They didnt have reverse until 1985 and they were the 225dr, and DO NOT paint that headlight bezel yellow, the blue ones are hard to find, sell the blue and buy a yellow, also the tank shrouds are off a ytm 200, the decals are different

[@driveitbreakitfixit7496]

I’ve been looking for one of those for the longest time and still can’t find one

[@pablomay28]

PB blast it and try prying the slide with a flat head screwdriver. Its worked for me before on my 1981 honda 180 semiauto pull start

[@ratedredneck96]

Stuck carbs is a yamaha thing, my choke got stuck on my ttr from a few years ago. I think its a bad quality aluminum corroding to steel parts from the choke and the slide needle. I have also seen that in a lot of tecumseh stuff, just poor quality materials id say.

[@SledFinatic]

Luv the vid man......I got 2 of these trimoto's....1 is identical 84 yellow DX, other is a 85 black/red/gold DR w/ reverse. (would sell to the right person)

[@Biokemist-o3k]

Wow I wish I could find one for that price. I found a 200 YTM in a scrapyard but the engine is seized and the axle assembly was shattered. I just bought an axle assembly for $50 so I have $100 in this awesome three wheeler and I have Marvel mystery oil in the cylinder...

[@DougFLTRX]

"the sidewall's shot but still got pretty good tread" LOL....Trailpro's tread is made out of the hardest rubber known to Man. Those probably have 35K miles on them with another 100K left 😂

[@RealSuburbanCowboy]

Carb cleaner would have freed up both of those items right away. WD40 is good, but it won't break down that gummy fuel like good old carb cleaner! I didn't see the link to that screwdriver in your gear page. I see American screwdrivers, but not the Japanese drivers.

[@Stuntnsinda80s]

Spray the carb with wd40 works on all

[@patrickmurphy8619]

Reminds me of my blue 200cc I had, but no rear shock was rough!!!

[@johnlalonde5420]

Well what you need to do is get some PB Blaster is better than WD-40 WD-40 is junk It's Just Junk I have stopped using WD because it's so bad and I use PB Blaster instead

[@jfdashley9028]

Carb cleaner works good on that old hard varnish but will destroy rubber seals and plastic parts. If you could soak it (submerged) in kerosene or mineral spirits a few days that might free everything up.

[@jimmydavis8009]

Did you say you welded the cast iron bracket at the beginning? How did you keep it from cracking and how long did the weld hold? Welding cast can be done but it's tricky. I pack it in sand immediately after welding to slow down the cooling process

[@stevengoodman7606]

Haven't messed With many carbs like this..the throttle is seized from rust,etc gotta pry it up through the hole you were prying from but don't scar it up

[@deseanh50]

I have a 3 wheeler similar to this one but it has no power. Had it running off jumper cables and accidently shifted into first and touched the cables now I have no power what do you think it might be.?

[@bigtech6321]

lever that siezed slide out with a big screwdriver. It would pop right out. one it a thousand times & you got nothing to lose, The fuel turns ransid and becomes like superglue.

[@adamdennis5617]

Hard to believe but I've had really good luck using Pine Sol for cleaning carburetors just let it soak and it'll eat every bit of it really cleans aluminum also and it's cheap and will not hurt your gaskets at all

[@centauri8820]

That's why when I do a deal I always have the seller count up the cash. No bullshit "oh you were $20 short" shenanigans.

[@phitran717]

I have a 1988 Honda fourtrax the mechanics told me I need a new cdi box or the quad will never start is this true pls help.

Your heat gun is your best friend on gummed carbs. Heat that tar looking stuff up.itll come right apart.

Take the throttle cable off at the handle bars, then ultrasonic!! 👍🏻🖐️🙂🇨🇦

[@ddrebuildit7424]

I traded it for a scooter And I have wonderful spark but my carburetor is the same exact way I even had trouble taking the carburetor apart the same way

[@Gantzz321]

gas turned to varnish then hardened up solid

[@ashtondexter5240]

These things are a beast i had one and it never let me down

[@arminramic1198]

I had the same problem with a carborator on a quad, i got it loosen up by heating it a little bit, my guess was bad petrol dried inside or soemthing. hope this helps someone else then me :D

[@sadelcol]

Good idea ordering a carb, but to get that thing freed up you need to get the good carb cleaner that's sold in a gallon paint can. That old gas basically turned into schlack and the cleaner will eat it up.

[@kobyatkinson4925]

Bro you should oil up your garage door

Did you just put the wire and connector together with just heat shrink?

[@lordofthestings]

I have a trashed tri moto and it looks way worse than that and empties the crank case out the tailpipe after running for a few minutes.

[@mattwatkins7333]

That looked like diesel in that carb,,that was dirty,worst I’ve seen

[@leemer1]

I recently bought a 20 horse Honda GX620 v-twin engine that had been sitting unused for several years and when I checked the oil it was very black molasses-like and reeked heavily of old varnish (exactly what old fuel does), the shit made me choke. After draining out the oil I pulled the crank case side cover off and lots of thick molasses sludge left behind. I used a full can of brake cleaner alone in hosing out the case, side cover and its oil galleries and also I pulled the oil pump out and gave it a good cleaning. NO way was that engine getting started up with that molasses.

[@3DMachines]

Wow. Sounds like a sticky situation.

[@uniqueusernane8204]

Use spray bud not a screwdriver to pry the needle to unfree the throttle. Great channel bud.

[@newporg6887]

Those hood hinges are stamped metal, not cast. You don't have to try to cover for messy welds, just should have cleaned the rust before welding it. ..not shitting on you, this is the first video i've watched from you... it was recommended.

[@3DMachines]

Thanks. I ended up cleaning the ends And I heated the metal up with a torch before I slapped 2 overlapping beads on. It should hold. Your thoughts?

[@kingjames9028]

Beat stuff and really the only carb cleaner that will touch the dark thick stuff is Dragonfire carb cleaner it's hard to find I get it from a place called VI Enterprise my 86 night hawk was just like that couldn't get the throttle body to turn even with a pipe wrench on it I tore it apart like you are a spread the dragon fire in there in that stuff wash that black crap right off like it was mud no other carb cleaner would touch it it's kinda like if soda dried up in a cup holder in a car that crap sucks but I did finally get my bike running both my carbs was like that it sat for over 15 years

[@kingjames9028]

But dragon fire will melt plastic and all the rubber seals I only use it when carbs are this bad

Should have soaked the carb in your ultrasonic cleaner with the cables still installed into the carburetor. It'll free up the gunk holding up the slides.
