I grew up in a time when 2stroke ríce burners were Everywhere and so very much miss them . Have a nice Zanoah G430RC on my bicycle . Love everything 2stroke
Tim Men thy call me Falco Mustaine Ridge Texas. Make a suggestion on your recall spring I use a 13/16 spark plug socket cut a groove vertical in the socket hook the inner part of the spring wind it up around the socket holding the spring slide it off the socket with the needle nose hold it together then you can set it in place. It’s work very good for me. Enjoy watching you Sir I’m 65 your doing a good job keep it Buddy.
I like the 490. I always wanted a CR500. I had a Banshee that was wicked. It was 472cc. I loved to listen to it idle (kind of like 2 big husqvarnas strapped together). I'm pushing 40 and already with rotator cuff surgery and various plates and screws. Had to get rid of it. Now I putt around in a 1952 willys flatfender jeep. Fab willy style
I just did???funny and tore down piston cylinder completly, for first time .GOD WAS helping because if I ran it one more time it would've blown..it was caked with carbon..from that carb ..it only has low and blocker on it. Didn't see any damage on low end hopefully and very light heat marks on piston no scoring but light scoring on cylinder..did not have dremnel or way to remove it.??so soaked it and wiped it.praying for the best. .thanks for all you guys videos..
It needs plastic bushings. That is why it has slop. There is no pre load on the return spring either. Keep up the good work Tinman. I've picked up a lot of tricks off ya. I have a 1977 Yamaha IT 400 sitting in my Shop. Peace
I did three of these from watching bellhoppers videos and he has awsome knowledge and info but visually this is a stellar video nice job! Neat bike too.
Yes! Been waiting for this Tinman! This will be an awesome project. Braaaap! I love that you have that 🐎 and we love that you're documenting the build. One more for your arsenal. And a 490 to boot. Sweet
Hey Tinman, you're videos are really enjoyable to watch you show and explain things in a way that's easy to understand and you really enjoy what you do.
I love the old chainsaws but I love the old two stoke dirt bikes an I rebuilt a yz490 an iv done a honda 450 elsinore an you gotta love the big boar monsters an I agree an taking an cleaning the recoil spring getting in the tight spots an cleaning the crud really dose extended the life of the old saws.love the vid always a good time to sit down an watch you're vids an buckins
Hi Tinman!!😀😀 You are one of the first guys I have seen that put the spring in the proper way. So many people try to wind them up in their hands and then drop them in witch is just about impossible. I had a old small engine mechanic show me the right way probably 35 years ago after I was fighting with them the wrong way. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
That bike is sweet! Thanks for the recoil vid. I have been messing with the recoil on my Homelite XL 12 the last couple of nights and it just does not want to cooperate! I usually have my buddy do mine and I do his carb work. It’s a nice trade.
I know buckin already has it!!! Hehehe. I’m so freakin excited to see it rip with a 32 inch full house grind. I’m over here in the state of Maine like COME ON ALREADY POST THAT NEXT VIDEO BUCKIN!!!! Awesome job as always bud. Take care and WORK SAFE!!!😎😎
Job well done sir! I've had old outboard motor rewind springs that have given me fits when I was just starting out in the early 70's. But if you use your noggin, you can figure out a safe way to get the job done every time.
You need to fix that broken screw Tinman. Getting a broken drill bit out is always a rewarding challenge when done. Left hand carbide drill bits often works to back out a broken bolt, taps or bit out. That would drive me crazy leaving that in there. Have a good day, thanks for all your help. Be Safe
I've ridden a 82 yz490 . Crazy fast bike. I had the 81 IT465 also high compression. Best thing I ever did to it was simply add a second head gasket. Calmed that pinging right down.
Not that close but back in the mid '80's I had one of the last Yamaha STREET 2 strokes, the RZ 350. It was great after i put the Toomey Race Kit on it.
Nice bike, my dream bike when I was a wee lad was the IT 490. It would have killed me if if I had gotten my hands on one at 13, and sooo much compression, I had to push start the old DT250 after a bruised calf incident scarred me mentally. HAha. Ambition does not equal ability.
@@ozdatman yeah buddy there was one here for sake recently for like 8 grand. I guess just like anything that was once plentiful, supply goes down and demand goes up.
The issue with those old big bore 2-Stroke bikes, is the bugs you get in your teeth while riding! Hard to keep from grinning when they are on the pipe and you are ripping through the gears. 😁
How about just putting a decomp valve in the bike? You’re bound to have some laying around. I know that your video is 9mo, but I had to put my 2 cents in for a comment. You might even figure out a way (IF you want) to revisit the bike in a upcoming vid. Just sayin
I'm a small engine mechanic and I rebuild peoples bikes all the time if you ever need suspension done or anything just give me a message and send it to me ill hook you up
..I often have problems with the starter dog shaft being tight and binding with the split nylon bushing that goes in there for some reason, even when the hole, bushing, and shaft are clean, oiled, and in good condition...anybody else have that issue?...I noticed that I didn't see the nylon bushing in this video...BTW, if you couldn't care less about motorcycles(like me), skip ahead to 3:50 on this video....
Come on you can kick a pan head over. This should be cake walk. I love the hard ones kick over. But when you have them dial in . Some prime kicks and should pop right off. Lucky you I love have a 500 yamaha. I had abt every brand when was younger. And I was the crazy 16 kid that loved run 500 bikes.
Not just macs. An ol Poulan I’m working on has tried to have its own bolts for lunch... Twice! Lock tite em all!! Good tips there Tinman 👍

The jobs we hate the most are usually not as difficult as we thought after we finish! Great job!!

Thank you on the rewind. Can’t wait on the dirt bike build. Everyone be safe and be careful.
What a fun project that dirt bike will be

Love the video Tinman! Great attention to detail! Thanks.

Note to anyone I have found these recoil springs on Amazon remanufactured version and worked well

Al,
That is prezatly how I rewind my sprung springs! A new learning curve every time I spring one because I’m OLD!

Thank You for showing us this. I would not have known how to do it. Take Care, Stay Safe and Be Kind...
Love the sound effects 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽thanks for the tips buddy be safe tinman
great video, if i have a $1 for every merc/ yamaha outboard recoil I fixed in the past 30 years I could buy alot of nice chainsaws!
same here except 50 yrs of working on small engines
Job well done sir! I've had old outboard motor rewind springs that have given me fits when I was just starting out in the early 70's. But if you use your noggin, you can figure out a safe way to get the job done every time.
Thanks, Tinman! I have a recoil i want to clean up, and I was dreading it.
Now, not as much.

lol thanks Tinman exactly what I’m doing to my Pro Mac 700
You’re awesome keep the great videos coming 👍
Love 490 man!
Love the bike tinman. A love 2 stroke bikes. My son has a husqavana Cr 125.
Not that close but back in the mid '80's I had one of the last Yamaha STREET 2 strokes, the RZ 350. It was great after i put the Toomey Race Kit on it.
Those rz350s are so cool.
Nice tutorial! Thanks for sharing buddy!👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Looking forward to the YZ build.

Id love an IT, pretty hard to find. 490 was a dream bike when I was a kid for sure.
@@tinmanssaws Yep and they want gold prices for those IT's now.
@@ozdatman yeah buddy there was one here for sake recently for like 8 grand. I guess just like anything that was once plentiful, supply goes down and demand goes up.
2 wheel friday.love to see this brutha...👊👍🔥🔥🔥
Did you go back and get the broken drill bit out DETAILS
Been around pull start machine's my whole life. Some can be a challenge..the old Honda 3 wheelers were a pain...
Yes indeed! Like working down in the bottom of a beer can. Ugly
The issue with those old big bore 2-Stroke bikes, is the bugs you get in your teeth while riding! Hard to keep from grinning when they are on the pipe and you are ripping through the gears. 😁
The ol two wheel tiller 🙏🏻
You would like my 84 CR 500 Honda last of the air cooled 65 hp fun bike!
One of my favorites too. I wish I still had it.
Great teacher
I was thinking you'd bench wind it and secure with wire like you mentioned, but you didn't need to 👍
That bike looks like a ripper!
Tinman great tutorial on rewinding.
May whoever gives you the thumbs down pinch his bar in every tree he cuts.
I agree 100 percent.
Ha ha! That is an evil curse. Well said. 😁
Awesome
Sounds like a wood mans curse.
I like it lol
Hey, Tinman had a good question for you, could build-up hotrod out 1962 Mac 15?
Hey cold saw man... I'm restoring a sp 81 mac and I need to no wat size gasket material I need to have on hand for this ...great channel...thanks
I have the same ? Weird coincidence on same saw to.
@@zakdunlap2090 I didn't even no mac made real saws. Boss just gave me one
How abouty working on a Homelite Super Mini. Maybe switching for a .325 chain. Would be fun.
Them Yamahonda’s are nice!
Dude you've had a bike hiding this whole time no way thats my favorite stuff let's see some videos on it
I have other bikes to hehe
You need to bring that out this summer when we hit up the trails, that thing in straight line would Probably demolish my maverick x3 running 215ish hp
Let me know if u want to sell the 490 when ur done I’m in Ontario😂 I’ll drive my 1989 trail boss 250 down haha awsome bike man
Zero to top speed in about 2 seconds. Had one back in late '80s.
Show how you fix a closed kickback spring. Asking for a friend!
I needed this
My housing does not do the recoil from top. The inside has a tin protector and I can not attach the old recoil.
Nice👍

All that time and energy into that saw and you dont replace the starter cord
If i had a recoil starter to use, id show you a much easier way to load that spring.
490 is a model t with a hemi real machine had two of them
I'm a small engine mechanic and I rebuild peoples bikes all the time if you ever need suspension done or anything just give me a message and send it to me ill hook you up

Can a 490 top end mate up to a yz250 bottom end
I dont think so, that cylinder and piston is huge.
Get on with the other yellow machine !!!!!!!!!
Hello and happy Friday Everyone!
Happy Friday ;))
Come on you can kick a pan head over. This should be cake walk. I love the hard ones kick over. But when you have them dial in . Some prime kicks and should pop right off. Lucky you I love have a 500 yamaha. I had abt every brand when was younger. And I was the crazy 16 kid that loved run 500 bikes.
I've kicked over stroked shovelheads that kick easier then the old 490 lol.
