Great to see another tinkering video Martin. I’ve been watching this channel since you did up the Mini for Jimmy and while I also enjoy your Butlers Empire channel, Retrorestore is my favourite, as I also love messing with cars and stuff. I would love to see regular content on here again, but I understand that you’re busy with your Butlers Empire channel. Keep putting out the great tinkering videos, whenever you can find the time 👍
Sharing is caring 🙄👍🇮🇪 Was working on a van today, geez they are heavy and awkward to work on. Its a Nissan nv200 so basically Renault under the skin 🙄👍🇮🇪
Good luck finding fluorescent tubes these days, they've recently been banned in the UK as of the end of 2023. I've tried the LED replacement tubes, but really a new fitting works best.
I’m at the gym on the bike looking for something to watch and up pops a retro restore video 😀 So that will be 24 minutes of entertainment, thanks for the shout out 🙂👍
My dad always said every man different jobs and if you font know what your doing dont attempt to fix it .one of my late brothers one time attempted to fix my dad tv set he took it apart and put it back together and said to dad ithink ive fixed it and dad said well what about those parts their my bro said i dont know where they went so ive left them out well the tv set was as dead as a do do and all my bro said is well i tried to fix it my late brother was made up if someone asked he to look at something and everything he looked at went to the big junk shop jn the sky .
Go to home and bargain and get yourself some equivalent to 100W led bulbs I put one in my garage and the brightness is is unbelievable far better than fluorescent bulbs
That shouldn't have anything to do with the carb being off. You shouldn't run a 2 stroke without an exhaust as it will affect the back pressure but you can do this just to see if it fires up.
Hello, I wonder if you can help me please. I have a Wangye Eivissa 2 125cc scooter year 2022. I'm looking for a OBD2 scanner for Chinese motorcycles. I have contacted Wangye in China who manufacture the bike. Unfortunately they won't advise me on a suitable OBD2 scanner for Chinese motorcycles. Would it be possible for you to check it out and advise me. Cheers
@@retrorestore I have googled the scanners and unfortunately I cannot find a suitable obd2 scanner. I have contacted the manufacturer who also cannot give me any advise on a suitable unit. Cheers for the reply tho.
You cannot beat tinkering in the cabin
Gary can learn a lot from you Martin xxx

Easy Start with no lubricant not an issue on that engine as it's a four stroke.
Yes I know that, I was warning people about carb or brake cleaner on a 2 stroke.
Great job.

Martin your knowledge is exceptional, what trade was you in before you retired

Really enjoyed that how do you remember it all🤪👍

Hi Martin and Gary
Go to home and bargain and get yourself some equivalent to 100W led bulbs I put one in my garage and the brightness is is unbelievable far better than fluorescent bulbs
Thanks for the tip
Great vid mate
Cheers Phil.
Whats the odds on you doing a video on cleaning TURBO's without taking them off using some sort of spray?
That trick with carb off doesn't work too well with a chain saw I did it and smashed the piston
That shouldn't have anything to do with the carb being off. You shouldn't run a 2 stroke without an exhaust as it will affect the back pressure but you can do this just to see if it fires up.
@@retrorestore not sure but over rev'ed and smashed piston skirt maybe because nothing was holding revs back
Am I the only one who still couldn't see a spark?
