Thats a really sweet little bike! I can relate to all the finger fkery you have to go through to get these little motors to run mint. They have been playing with me sense I was a little kid and I am 65 now and they still won't go away! I always use a fender but I make mine out of 16 gauge metal and weld them to the frame works Mint! After break in run 100 octane fuel with Blendsall (green label) 2 stroke racing oil. Smells like Heaven! The aroma is amazing! It will make the whole neighborhood smell like a 4 of July barbecue down by the river! The best part about these motors is the Zero Carbon FootPrint! Its keeps a smile on Greta's face! I cant wait to see how this bike runs after You get it jetted in! Keep up the great vidjas and never worry aboot the load Music or Carbon FootPrint!💯👍
Great vid bud. Yeah, we all made mistakes putting these things together. When you get her tuned proper your clutch is going to be slippin all over the place. I would recommend DLH SAF-Clutch or you can make a similar budget clutch.
I’m close to end of vid, but it’s def sounding better. Definitely needs to be tuned out but it sounds far so worse thing that could happen is marking the plug all carbon up so I say just enjoy it until your ready to tune it in warmer weather. Thanks for posting.
@@ColdStartGarage agreed, I’m postponing a lot of my outside work as well cause it just sucks being out there when it’s this cold even though I enjoy tinkering my older bone and joints just disagree with my mind. lol.
Sounds a lot better now that you fixed your mistake I use ultra gray on my lower gasket because I had to take mine apart and on your exhaust gasket I use the red high heat silicone but I seen online they sell metal covered ones on Amazon when mine starts leaking I'll change it on mine as well ride safe brother
@@ColdStartGarage brother I'm a licensed electrician by trade you don't think I made some mistakes the thing is you found it and fixed it were learning lol
Probably could put a spacer between the wheel and frame! Couple of little things you learn on the journey. Have fun and just keep playing on. Thanks Ray
I'm surprised at how rich it's running during 1/8-1/4 throttle cruise with that microscopic stock .010" pilot jet in such cold temps. Going to a smaller pilot jet is not really an option so dropping the needle one clip position to #2 will have to suffice. That with a 120-150 range main jet should be the Golds🥇.
I was almost thinking similar issues. With less knowledge. I knew it was fat at the bottom end and she bogged down at full rpm. I was gonna adjust the clip and throw some fat main jet at it. But the china makuni is infamous due to their poor tune-ability
With the silencer it will give back a little more power Rpm.. example a pick up when there is no longer enough restriction (muffler too short or too big for nothing) the pick up will make noise rpm goes up Faster BUT when you go up a hill you'll have a hard time making it go up in speed but the rpm will be high BUT won't be any worse either
I did not jet it yet. Fixed my current mistakes and we caught a nasty cold spell then decided to rain for a week straight. I can’t catch a break with the weather. But I have some shed videos I can do
@@ColdStartGarage i should have the website up by the end of the day i don’t remember what i charged for the pads and plate bundle but i think it was $45 shipped
It’s a minarelli you will need a spacer a rod and a piston I believe. The pipe and carb is specific as well. I have a complete build video in minarelli sagas California motorbikes sell just the minarelli motor, not a kit
Lot of variables. It very well could be. The nasty air leaks prevented me from tuning. Then winter stopped me in my tracks. I’ll get back around to it as soon as the birds are flying again
Cuts out at 3/4 to full throttle. It’s a China clone makuni. I guess they are hard to tune in.. I haven’t had time to fiddle with it this year yet. My motorcycle project has been robbing time from me 🤘🏻🏁🏁🏁

Thanks for the recommendation. This winter is killing my progress. But it’s not stopping me!
Dam was upside down and backwards lol😂 glad you figured it out bro sounding better towards the end. Thanks for sharing.
sounds a HELLUVA lot better when your cylinder is fully sealed hahahaha good vidya guy

@JMB676 my dilapidated shed serves well. Heat and some space to work. But it’s hard to find motivation when I’m sun light deficient
Shiza happens brother, you gotta be ready for it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mike! I may not build it right the first time.. but I’ll eventually get it right by the 3rd or 4th time 🤘🏻🏁🏁🏁

Love the honesty an transparency about your experience an sharing your build an learning process. All love from texas
That’s why I build videos. To learn. We do have some fun! 🤘🏻🏁🏁🏁
4:04 any more then 3 is playin with it 😂😂
🤣
I inherited the giant ashtrays from my ma! Yep i still use em too!
Probably could put a spacer between the wheel and frame! Couple of little things you learn on the journey. Have fun and just keep playing on. Thanks Ray
Such a simple idea. And yet I never reasoned it. It’s deff worth a try. Thanks ray
I would recommend the one with the button because it has more movement when it's pushed in so the clutch disengages more! (I would say so)
Nice bike love the color combo
Thanks! My wife helped pick out the color combo. I’m not great at it 🤣🤘🏻🏁🏁🏁
Getting close to half a million views biker buddy. Great going! 🎊 🎉😊
keep doing what u do learning is moving forward plus u have away with doing videos, funny as hell
Just trying to have fun in my shed. 🤣 like bubbles from trailer park boys 🏁🏁🏁
It could be a combination of not enough load from the 44sprocket and too rich try going to the top of the needle clip
Something else to think about now. Dang it
@@ColdStartGarage all good brotha. There no rules to these bikes aside from engine specs
@@justanothermotorizedbikech5138 The engines limitations is what we adjust to.

Won't it be great to show the world that the China Mikuni will run like EFI when you're done with it?
That’s the plan… on paper anyways! 🏁🏁🏁

Thanks for your insight
The kind of clutch pads your using are the best and a saf budget clutch is the best and cheapest
shake it 3 times, after that you're playing!
This is the old magic. Written 3000 years ago. It prolly in the Bible 🤣🤣🤣
i see the avenger 85 on that table there 👀 are you planning on making a video about it?
Hell ya I am! Every motor bicycle part is for a video.. just started filming one today. I’m pissed at California Motorbikes right now! Little spoiler
@@ColdStartGarage uh oh lol. Cant wait for the video
Me either. I have no idea how that will turn out yet 🤣
I seen that Avenger 85... Nice
Do you find a good jetting for your vm20 carb I know you run whit 44 gear the top end coming soon do you try 28 !!!
I did not jet it yet. Fixed my current mistakes and we caught a nasty cold spell then decided to rain for a week straight. I can’t catch a break with the weather. But I have some shed videos I can do
I did buy jets. It’s just too much to mess around in this bad weather. I did not do anything with any gears
Thank you man I watch you video good job 👍
I have a same engine porting and my shim gasket fit deferent of yours it’s possible put gaskets whit ultra grey for absolutely seal what you think 🤔
Kinda what I did isn’t it? Or I’m not understanding the full intent of your question. 🥲🏁🏁🏁
Cheers from warm Miami…😊
🤣 my poor feeling. Once my frost bite body thaws I’ll be able to feel again.
Does it say gayside on the tube sticker?
Pretty sure it said bayside🤣
Great video.🙂
Thanks . I’m glad someone likes it!
Also i have cnc plates and 8mm thick pads on my website soon if you want to buy those the website should be up today actually
What price we looking at there? And what’s the website
@@ColdStartGarage i should have the website up by the end of the day i don’t remember what i charged for the pads and plate bundle but i think it was $45 shipped
It was upside down n backwards, lol bro that’s to funny
I’m lucky I did not make a 200 dollar door stop with that motor. It was close
That's a different type of cylinder! where can I find that
It’s a minarelli you will need a spacer a rod and a piston I believe. The pipe and carb is specific as well. I have a complete build video in minarelli sagas
California motorbikes sell just the minarelli motor, not a kit
Air gets denser when its cold out. Meaning your jetting needs to be changed.
Get a better Clutch plate, i bought two from bikeberry its not a super clutch without the extra springs i love it
Thanks for your insight!
Just re confirming it's a plate with no springs it bolts on same as stock they are meater and will have no issue putting on your clutch cover
Ok just watch the end of video definitely rich
Mid throttle rich and wide open it falls flat on its face. The China clone makuni is notorious for tune issues
🚲👍🐿😎
Lol there yah go!
Piston looked super rich.
Lot of variables. It very well could be. The nasty air leaks prevented me from tuning. Then winter stopped me in my tracks.
I’ll get back around to it as soon as the birds are flying again
@@ColdStartGarage blessing is colder it is the leaner it is. Don't worry want be trying to give any tips
I’m not one to shut down anyone from leaving comments. Most of the time you the people are very helpful.
@@ColdStartGarage I left you a link to tunning carbs I only have ehh 44 yrs of experience.
Jump the cheese burger randy !!
Last time I hit a jump I could not walk without a limp for a week
@@ColdStartGarage feed a naigbour some wobble pops and send him out in hockey gear lol
Get a pz20 also get a ngk plug
It has a NGK. It has an 8. Gonna have to look up what a pz20 is 🤣🏁🏁🏁
Ha it’s a carb 🥹
@@ColdStartGarage it’s a carb lol oh Ngk 8 isn’t that bad
I have a couple flavors. I throw the China plugs in the trash
3 times or your playing with yourself😂
Once it starts to run lean It'll run faster but it'll trash your motor in a hurry.Its better to run a little rich
hello all anymore know who go Max is
Who’s that
Yea,bought some stuff there.They're straight
Sounded rich to me you could hear it 4 stroking
My motor made the same sound you just gotta find that sweet spot on the needle jet
Yup. The lower rpm it would 4 stroke and full throttle it would cut right out on me
I still need to chase the tune on this. Winter is killing progress due to not being able to ride.
It’s running way too rich
At the low end. High rpm she bogs down. And no I have not looked at this bike since Jan. I am overdue
czcams.com/play/PLyTjGWYBzynCsVTGTCDpJIzsz3seMRYRZ.html&si=pM6uQGBYyZrY8k4w how carb functions and how to properly tune each circuit. 👍
Too rich. It's sputtering/4 stroking, too rich. need to jet down.
Cuts out at 3/4 to full throttle. It’s a China clone makuni. I guess they are hard to tune in.. I haven’t had time to fiddle with it this year yet. My motorcycle project has been robbing time from me 🤘🏻🏁🏁🏁
Thanks for making mistakes so I don’t have to. Seriously, I’m taking away a lot from your videos.
Let me show you what not to do. Thats a great lesson if you are willing to watch. Thanks for your kind words 🤘🏻🏁🏁🏁
After looking at all your troubles, I don't know why anyone would want a 2 stroke.
I want more! I’m just starting to have fun 🤘🏻🏁
you sound just like harry from dumb and dumber dude. no offence.
Thanks. Grew up watching it. So I’m the dumber one or just the dumb one? 🤘🏻🏁🏁
