a very good mechanic, a warm-hearted friendly man, and always in a good mood. there should be more people like that
He seems drunk to me.
He is not drunk
He would be good if he could fuken talk
@@lucasgiecco4324 bruh wtf
@@lucasgiecco4324 you had to be THAT guy, huh? 🙄
I'm Japanese and I'm not good at English so I use a translator.
The hardship before the engine started came to me.
I was happy when the engine started!
I enjoyed watching it very much.
please keep trying your best!
Ni hao
Gilera Runner thats Chinese, but good try.
😄🙌🏼
@@MitchsScooterStuff i was like god let it turn on pleaseeee
You mean "ko-ni-chi-wa".
His patience of fixing this bike is unbeleivable. Best mechanic ive seen so far
Now that was a bit more than a “lite restoration “
Hats of to you Mitch for your determination
I never seen my wife so interested in a scooter video before! Must be that invisible shirt.
🤣🤣🤣
for real it was this nice guy showing us how to restore a scooter then Thor comes out of no where Lol
It did sound like it had no compression but your lack of hearing wouldn't necessarily detected this, well done for sticking with it!
Rob Billings liegt wahrscheinlich Daran dass die Wand nicht gehohnt hat, obwohl er einen neuen Zylinder eingebaut hat. Vielleicht hätte er dann auch erstes Übermaß für den Zylinder nehmen müssen
I don’t think that it was absolutely necessary to bring up his hearing problem, I think that you could’ve just said that it sounded like it was lacking compression.
@@owenstevens9551 Atleast i now know why he talks this way 😅
@@owenstevens9551 I think ur the only one offended 😂
@@owenstevens9551 I hate it when people get offended on other people's behalf
I love the quietness when compared to other channels videos. Less sometimes is more! Good footage also. Stay Awesome 😎
My favorite part of that was hearing the birds - they sounded rather happy.
WHAT A MISSION!!!!! patience of a saint, hombres!
love to see how much love you show to this old girl, she deserves a second chance at life.
i just realized that he is the type of person, that if he was my neighbor i would use my free time learning sign language just to be able to talk to him every now and then
I've taken apart a lot of abused little engines, but I have never seen a Honda piston look like that before. They must have run it without oil for a long time. It acted like it was seized to start with, then the oil Mitch added allowed it to spin, sans compression of course.
Thanks Mitch, good on ya for sticking with it!
Mitch I wish I had a pal with your skills, love you my brother
This man looks like the perfect one to drink a beer with and turn some wrenches with, a hug from Argentina! keep being this cool.
que raro es encontrar a un argentino por aca
I love Mitch's energy and constant positive attitude
Mitch is a legend. His GTS service videos got me started doing my own maintenance on my Vespa. And these videos have got me inspired to get the Suzuki CS125, that's sitting under my house, back on the road. Thank for doing these videos Mitch!
Mitch I felt SO bad for all you went through with that, but the good thing was that you KNOW every inch of that engine now and it's done RIGHT. GREAT episode! Keep them coming Bro!
Your energy is so contagious! On the islands we call that your “mana”. I’ll look out for one of your scooters when I get back home to Maui! 🤙🏽
This is the longest video I’ve ever watched not wanting to skip a single second‼️ great video bruv🤍🙌
This has been my life 5 days a week for 5 years now, I work at a shop and I was lucky to buy our customers old 1989 Honda Elite 80. one of my fav. scooters. awesome seeing someone else with the same passion! rock on!
Just bought a 2004 honda elite 80 today, Im going to use this video to get it back to tip top
Mitch YOU ARE THE MAN !!!!! Excellent work !!
I'm a new viewer from Germany and I'm really happy to have found such content here. Really nice guy!
Hi Mitch !! Youre a never give up Guy like me !!! I,m a German Guy (52 Years young ! ) i love the Way you love the Scooters bring back to Life !! I wish You and Your Wife and All around to Yours stay haelthy and allways a good Time Man !! A big Fan from Bavaria !!! i owned 5 Scooters by the Way !!
I like the way Mitch works on scooters, no power tools no sonic parts washers no impact air tools, the way the engineers designs them to be worked on under a tree with harbor frieght tools..lol or whatever you can find.
I love it when the new parts arrive. It's like mechanic Christmas.
That was smart how you got the stuck piston pin out!! You da man!!
not so smart basching at the pistonrod sideways first. I went gringe there
I have never seen a mechanic like this, he is so good and he is explaining everything love you man keep going
Any sane person would have stuck that scooter behind their shed and waited for the vines to grow over it so they could hide their failure from the world and more importantly themselves. But instead you fixed the thing and were nice enough to make a video of every step along the way! THANK YOU. Awesome video.
The gas tank might be the frame that hold the bike together LOL
The most I ever seen you do to a scooter, so much work into it, Are you keeping her? This was the most informative clip.
This is beautiful thank you so much for taking the time to restore it 😍😍
Haha, my eyes got sweaty when she finally fired up! When you finally had it all put back together correctly with the timing chain, I said to myself "My god, PLEASE let this thing start for him already!" A goofy grin was on my face when it fired! Great job, bruddah, hope she's still purring around town!
I know mitch cant speak very well but wow what a nice person and very talented mechanic, you are the man!
Love these type of vids. I’ve got an 87 Spree sitting the shed that needs a resto done and seeing this inspires me to get it out and start wrenching. 👍✌️
Leme get it
Wow, it took over a year! I would have lost patience I think. Good job!!
I bought a 2001 CH80 for my quarantinkering project back in April. It was in pieces and was told it had no compression. I did some basic troubleshooting and in my searches, stumbled on this video. It saved my ass a time or two but after a lot of work, I'm happy to say that she's back on the road! Thank you!
Right on!! 😄🙌🏼
i owned one as a teen , was my baby , miss it so much , grieving for it , thank you for the nostalgia , hope to own one again one day :D
I love your determination to see it through till it is running good. I would've lost all that hair if it was me, I'd be pulling them LOL! Looking forward to fine tuning the scoot.
Satisfying 56min video in youtube that i ever watched in my life!
Love you channel Mitch...when I bought 10 year old Ruckus for my GF it wouldn't start...only 800 miles...guy wanted $1,500 but as it wouldn't start he said give me $800 and its yours...so I watched your videos and went home and removed carb, fuel pump,gas tank and fuel filter...charged battery...took my time cleaning and reinstalling and BOOM! She ran like brand new...after a few months she wanted something faster so we sold it for 1,500.00 all polished up and running like new...so Thank You my friend.
Every DIY mechanic watching this, must have had the same feeling when that engine finally fired up. Well done dude! 👍🍀
Watched the whole thing. You’re amazing 🙌🏼
dude , you're persistent . I would have given up when i took the first look at it
MITCH!!! You saved my life with that DIY puller for the piston rod pin. Amazing! 🙌🙌🙌🤟🤟🤟
I truly admire your patience, persistence and knowledge… hell, I got pissed today just changing the filter in our home HVAC system! 😆 I bought my Elite 80 years ago from the original owner, garage kept, 500 miles on the clock and in perfect like new condition. I love that little scooter, going out for a neighborhood ride now!
I loved this video. Even made me laugh a few times. I know it must be hard work but thanks for the education and entertainment!
I was so excited when it started! You had to fix a lot of issues with the scooter in this video, so if I ever have similar issues, I’ll probably refer to this one Lol. Also, awesome hair dude.
That's what I call taking the long way home!....I could feel the frustration.....lol....great video.😀
I knew from day one that there were no compression, but this your story not mine, and this should be on netflix on a mini series. Good job and congrat 👍💪🔥🙏
Видео вот этого немногословного парня, в сто раз понятней и приятней к восприя тию чем ролики незакрывающих рот блоггеров ремонтников.
что здесь приятней? то что он поменял кучу запчастей перед тем как понял что умерла ЦПГ(ето было слышно даже по звуку не нагруженного стартера) а потом поставил б.у цилиндр с поршнем и кольцами,в конце концов проебал надеть цепь грм на коленвал ...
@@Slon1986qq это тебе слышно, а он глухой. Хотя да, компрессию сразу надо было проверить.
Судя по майкам работал неделю маугли))
never remove gaskets with steel, always use a plastic one
Jonas Achmed thanks for the tip
@@MitchsScooterStuff No problem, its just so you dont get your metal chipped for any leakage.
never say never; men shave with steel... 40 years as an auto mech here...
this is probably the 3rd time I've watched this entire video! The lack of talking and obnoxious background music is so refreshing. It let's you focus on the task at hand. So well done. Keep up the great work.
Wonderful video! Well edited too! I just dug out a Honda 80 elite I have out of a mower shed at my parents. It ran when I put it in there. That was 10 years ago. Just sent it to my father Inlaw. He loves working on small engines. More excited to get it going again to take along with our camper after watching your video. 😎
You have an immesse amount of patience. I can't imagine how you remember where everything goes after you disassemble something this complex. You are a great mechanic to bring that old scooter back to life. I woud love to have one like it. If you're selling it how do you charge for all the work you had to do on this little scooter???? It seems like it would be more than the scooter is worth.
Practice, trial and error and tons of patience haha.
started in Jun '17 and ended May '18. I understand the struggle of buy 1 part, waiting for weeks. then buying another part.
Keep that positive energy and you can do anything Mitch. I felt that engine start up in my soul!
Holy crap, I would have given up by the first attempt, if I even know anything to try to fix it. I just watch the whole thing through with joy, great video, i love scooter! Keep it up pal
Oh man, i'm so jealous you got that :(
I love. good weather, nature, old motorcycles to repair ..... what more could you ask for? You are in heaven. what envy. Hahaha. greetings from Spain. Where are those landscapes? you have a new subscriber.
you could ask for a beer
Its hawai i think but not sure
Damn dude this video should be titled why you shouldn't mess with 4 stroke scooters 4x as complicated and only 1/2 as much power.
Well done for sticking with it 👏
Great job Mitch, your dedication to get that baby running is so admirable
What started as a minor fix evolved into a complex restoration project with several twists along the way. That took serious perseverance. Respect!
Great job Mitch. I’m 65 years old and you remind me of myself in my youth. Patience and the rewards of success make us feel like we can accomplish anything we put our mind to. Your positivity and faith in yourself will take you far in life. Your also a excellent mechanic who goes the extra mile to do the job correctly. Be proud of your accomplishments and have a good life from Ken in Buffalo New York 🇺🇸
PS You also earned yourself another subscriber to the channel
One of the best movies i've watched all year.
Respect to you dude for all the mistakes that you have made and not shy away from it. You dont have to feel stupid for doing this man. Thats what makes a good mechanic. And it gives the viewers a chance to learn from it. Love your patience, determination and motivation. Just a wonderful human being. You rock 🎉
That one fought you every step of the way! You kicked it’s butt though!!! Good build!
That feeling when it fires up. UNIVERSAL JOY
Process of elimination u did nothing wrong everything u did was right and how 95% of us DIY wrencherz would have done the same awesome work and I love that u show everything and that it's a ton of trial and error but that's the fun the good stuff!
Well that was an endurance event, all credit for sticking it out. I havent the patience to watch a 300 million dollar movie but I happily watched that all the way through. Thanks for posting.
I'm pleased with myself when I change an air filter. Wow!
Never, ever saw anyone stick with a job that seemed so very hopeless. A great role model for those individuals who give up so easily. As a teacher, I can tell you that if we had more people like you, the world would be a better place! Congratulations!
At first I forwarded to about 1/4 of the video to see if it was worth watching.
Then he speaks sign language and I thought it was a joke but I liked it . Then I realized that it wasnt a joke and loved it .
Liked 👍
And subscribed
Loved this video. This guy is a gem. True mechanic and patience too. God bless. 🙏
This was more excyting than a thriller! But you did not surrender. Congratulations!
I wish every mechanic would be as patient as you are!!! Keep it up! Greetings from Germany!
Mitch You have the "Patience of a Saint". I think You have great Knowledge and a Great way of looking each possible problem and processing what could be a Problem. Thankyou for sharing Your experience. It was well worth the 56min 24secs of viewing. It Must feel fantastic when it runs perfect and You can Ride it.
Technical, mechanic friendly, what else ask ? Bravo from France Dud !
Just picked up one of these for $200. So rad, carb clean +battery and it came back to life. Awesome video brother, I admire your persistence.
Mitch, you are THE man! thank you for all of your help. I know we all appreciate it
It’s a beautiful unit . I still have mine. I earned my motorcycle endorsement on it . I need time to fix mine up .
"Easy fix?" Those were your famous last words friend! I watched this video 6 times now and it never fails to amaze me how passionate in your work you are.
40:30 My Uncle and I built a 125cc dirtbike engine out of a couple broken ones we had laying around and on old projects. We had to get the chain back on the sprocket too and it was the most frusterating thing ever! I just found your channel and I love it so far! Keep growing! :)
You remind me a lot of myself...Surfer / Mechanic. I did the same thing a few years ago... except it was an 84' Elite 250 with 3000 miles for $100. I had her running in less than 2 hours. Its a fantastic machine and now is part of my ever growing fleet. I sort of just "find" these things...or they "find" me I'm sure you know what I mean. Goon on ya mate... good luck with this one, I am certain you will have her running again shortly.
This gives me hope when my Elite acts up on me. 😔🙏 A great reminder that almost no matter what, it CAN be fixed! These are such great little scooters. (Even if they're a headache sometimes...)
In rebuilds like this I usually just pull the engine and do it on a work bench. I even have a small fuel tank so I can start my motorcycle engine on the work bench before I go put them back in the frames. That way I know it's going to run. It's usually easier and faster to just replace all the gaskets at once. And always press your piston ins if they won't com out easy. Beating on them does bad things to you rod and bearings. Loved watching your persistance.
Wish my grandsons were into scooters.
I was on that emotional Rollercoaster with you the whole time! Wow lol excellent filming thanks.
Wow, only just realised that was an hour long video. Kept me watching all the way!
Hope this dude does some more vids like this without nearly a word a complete well almost complete rebuild fantastic I'm turning away from the 400 /650 /1100s icann toddle around all day at 55 mph $8 a week iv torn down the tiwanese kinco scooters many times I could pull one right down on side of road with a10mm/8mm punch Philip's screw driver flat head screw driver and of course a spark plug remover this guys awsom you go fella
Hello, this is the job that I have seen more patience and fun on your channel. Thank you very much for your time and work, you have taught me that the reward is greater when you finish such an ok job.
omg i'd definitely buy one off him. the amount of work he put in to restore the bike its almost brand new
I haven't seen your channel before, but it's honestly nice to just listen to the sounds of the rebuild and environment without any talking.
I wanted one of these SOOO bad back in the 80’s! 😲
Initially I thought: "a 56 minute-long video? Yeah, right... I'll just watch a couple of mins out of curiousity." Ended up watching the whole thing. Good job getting her running again!
Hi Mitch. I am new to the channel, came across you by accident. We all feel your pain with the Elite 80. A lot of content on you tube has too much talking but your hands and facial expressions say it all. Awesome job
Mitch, I'm a little late revisiting your video series but I just want to say that I appreciate your tact and straightforward rebuild. Thank you for describing what is being done in an effective manner. Though I do not have hearing issues, I find that many rebuild channels spend far to much time focusing on the proverbial "sound" of things instead of explaining what they're doing. Your perspective as a man who cannot hear is unique and your approach to diagnostics is very enlightening.
Keep being awesome. :)
I love to see how you make all those old scooters come alive. Your are so lucky to live in the USA so you can get parts new and second hands so quick.
Mitch, you have incredible patience, as well as being a very knowledgeable engine mechanic. Thank you for posting these videos, they keep me interested in internal combustion engines.
this is a truly righteous vid. thank you very much! i have the same scooter and it is my preferred mode of transportation, when i can use it. (i live on an island in OHIO!) my scooter died yesterday and now i need to fix it. i will be using this vid as part of the info needed to fix it. THANK YOU!
The best video of restoration...Honest and the guy is amazing. The problems do it the best
You are patient Mitch ,you will never be out of job working thease machines ....interesting to watch a good mechanic in action !!! :) God Bless
i love this guy and his voice when he trys to tell us something
