After 5 years of watching this channel I finally saw a piece of equipment on the side of the road. I stopped, asked if I could take it, and then brought it home. As I was loading the 8.5hp Troy bilt pressure washer up I was informed by the previous owner that it probably needed a new starter. It had a pull start so I just smiled and nodded. When I got it home an applied all of the diagnostic knowledge I amassed watching mustie. Hit the spark plug with a wire wheel and put gas in it. It started on the second pull. I hooked up water and no leaks. I then pressure washed my patio. It’s a 400$ machine I got for free. Thanks Mustie.
I have a very similar story. Can't thank this man enough for sharing his knowledge.
Did you do the mustie1 laugh 😂😂
Just love the mustie1 channel
My Mustie moment was a Troybilt wood chipper that wouldn’t run. Paid $50 and cleaned out the carburetor like Mustie has shown us. Runs like a champ!
@@tmscheum that’s freaking awesome! A wood chipper would be really handy.
@@barrymcbride I don’t think I would do it justice
why do we love the Musti1, theres no hype, its just you and your best friend working in the shed like it use to be, rather then all this OMG running about and fakeness of other channels, we are not all 12 years old that need hype and show man ship, wish more was like this
I like how theres no women here. This is clearly a mens space channel.
As long as Mustie keeps wrenching I don't care what they do on those other channels. Take care of your neck Darren!
@@familyengineering5591 i checked my underware, defo at least one woman here that be me
AMEN! 👍
Agreed. I see videos from these guys with 1m subs and it’s 2 minutes working on the project and the rest is just “content.”
In 1976 I bought a 72' RT1 360, my first registered vehicle, that thing was loaded with torque and took me everywhere! Great memories hearing it fire up!
@@franmello5412 ...HOO-RAY...(!)
You are the best teacher of mechanical systems on RUclips. I enjoy every Sunday's lesson.
Welcome back. 👍 Missed you last week.
Never bore a cylinder before you possess the new piston. Always measure the new piston, then bore the cylinder for the specified clearance. That's the way I've always done it. I have 2 old boring bars and only use one of them. I have the unused one in storage. If I'm ever heading your way, I'll contact you so we can meet somewhere and I'll give it to you.
Hi Mustie1- I just wanted to send you something small to put towards tools or a yard sale purchase or whatever.
I'm not a mechanic, but grew up on a farm and always enjoyed time spent with my Dad - I nicknamed him MacGyver as he is always tinkering with something or other - usually re - purposing something or other into something else.
I really enjoy your videos, particularly the variety of things that you work on.
Thank you very much for all you do, I really look forward to your new videos.
thats funny, i was given the same nickname name as well as Dr. Mopar lol

Great seeing you get the 360 running. In 1974 I bought a 1973 Yamaha DT3 250 that's the color as your bike. 50 years later its still in my garage!
@@DavidM-yv9js ...does it still run...(?)
I lived on a Yamaha enduro 175 when I was in high school many years ago. I loved that bike.
Great video! Mustie is the best! My first bike was a Yamaha 360 enduro mine was a burnt orange color. My mother forbid me to have a motorcycle. I had to get some parts machined at the local implement dealership and saw it sitting in the back room with a blanket on it. Well I made a deal with the owner and I ended up taking it to my buddies house. Then one day a couple of weeks later my mother saw me riding it around town. When I got home she was very pissed. Told me I was grounded for a month. But my father got her calmed down and the next day I brought it home. I was fourteen at the time and the bike was a little big for me but I had a lot of fun!! Good times and good memories. Thanks mustie!!
My mom vetoed the motorcycle, too. "Not while I have anything to say about it."
Welcome back Mustie fans. Hope you have a lovely Sunday. And thanks Darren, we appreciate all you do.
Looking forward to this one later today! 🥳
We understand you have a life
But really enjoy wrenching with a coffee on Sunday morning
@@perrymattes4285 I have a ton to do today, but the notification popped up while making coffee. Mustie Coffee is my favorite way to start the day.
Who the hell is this Darren Guy you speak of? LOL
Thanks to Mustie I bought a 1974 Kawasaki 100cc G4TR agricultural bike for $100.00 at a garage sale the old girl ran but was a bucket of rust and badly maintained parts, I was lucky enough to get three spares bikes and was able to do it up to look almost like new with paint and new decals. Took 2 years on and off but so enjoyable just to go through the process and see the final outcome. In the end I got her licensed for the road and sold her for $1600.00 which was pretty much what I put into it all up. As I said it was the process of doing her up that the most enjoyable part. Cheers Mustie from down under.
I think I would've had to keep it 😅
My first motorcycle was a 1973 kawasaki MC90 Enduro. That was back in 1978. I was 10yrs old. Wow, what I would do to have it now.
Brings back memories of riding bikes around as kids, learning how to ride bikes in fields and tracks
A sigh of relief heard around the world.
lol agreed.
I second that
I hear you, but he can take a week off if he wants
Yea I was thinking Mustie went to see his folks in Florida.
Mustie1, I bought one of these in 1977 on base, transported it to San Angelo's, TX and then road it on the freeway to Tulsa, OK! With all my gear on full knobbys. A Beast! Sold it in Florida. Yes, pretty Torquey!
I had a 250 Yamaha and watching you ride the 350 through the woods reminded me of when I rode mine on old logging railroad grades in northern Michigan 50 years ago. The good old days.
I hope you are ok i know you have been having problems and had to go to the dr for migraines i really miss your projects i wait every Sunday for them . Prayers brother
He dealing with another health issue right now. (Kidney stone)
Guy recovering from a neck ingury says he's taking it easy by test riding dirt bike in sand pit. See kids, this is what life was like before cellphones & the internet.
Vintage two stroke dirt bikes are always my favorite rebuilds/videos.
Always a great way to spend time learning and reminiscing on a Sunday.
I hope that neck problem gets better, not much fun working in pain. Take care, thanks for the video.
“I’m taking it easy ‘coz of my neck issues” **pops several wheelies at the end** 😂
Been watching for maybe ten years religiously every week. Best channel on RUclips. Thanks Darren! 🎉🎉🎉
yes.. especially with that ISO-certified cloth helmet
I'm almost sure Vintco makes a top end and Crank kit for those 360's!
Awesome repair mate! Really loved seeing this old girl come back to life. Thanks for the journey.
That zorst sound takes me straight back to '79 in Edinburgh, sliding on cobbled road right infront the local copshop..😂😂nice bike man.
Welcome back.Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Love how this mechanic explains everything he does so you understand exactly what's going on. Reminds me of a shop teacher
My dad had this same bike in the same color. Man, does that sound bring back the memories. He's gone now, but seeing and hearing this reminds me of some great times riding with him on my little Yamaha 80. Something in my eye now.
Hey bud, thanks for your weekly vids. Watching your stuff is usually a fun part of my Sunday morning. Especially love when you’re tinkering on the old air cooled dubs.
Welcome back! I like these old bikes and it is fn to see them brought back to life even if it is just to ride it around the yard
Hi D. Really hope your neck feels better. It’s always great seeing you bring back old bikes and vehicles. Love the video. And as always, thanks for bringing us along!!😊😊😊 Darren.
Love the ear protection, safety third 🤙🤣 Good morning Mustie, thanks again for your awesome content!!
Yay! Good to see you back!
The 70's was always open.. I miss you.
Sunday afternoon a thousand girls wanting to go for a walk. I had a friend, I had the 175, we did races. We had fun. I want to go back in time😎😎
Used to work for a bearing company years ago. Those small bearing assemblies were called needle bearings. The retainers that held the needle rollers were called cages.
Greetings from Sydney NSW: By any chance, was the packing called 'grease' ? No need to thank me mate.
The sound alone brings back memories of road and trail rides of long gone days, thanks Darren!
Happy Sunday Mustie! Good to be wrenching with you....doing my best to lend a hand and not get in your way!
As a power sports tech the 75 on the old piston is 0.75 mm overbore. That is pretty standard for a first overbore. To get your correct size you need a 1.0 mm. This will allow you to hone it to size. As far as color difference on crank that is from them assembling crank at factory.
Wanted to say the same thing ... I got caught the same way Mustie did ... 40 years ago I was used to the number refering to Thousandths over bore, but metric bikes like yamaha were mm overbore.
This is why I like watching this channel Darren never gives up on a project and you always can learn a thing or too ❤👍
I definitely appreciate the extra explanation. You quickly and concisely explain the “why” of your diagnostic hypothesis/process. Not spending too much time on it for those who know those “common sense” things, but explaining the complete reasoning to those new to the thought. I’m also impressed with the abundance of spare or usable substitute parts you have to replace needed damaged parts no matter what you’re working on. 😮😊. I guess, even more impressive is that you’re organized enough to be able to find them.
You took me down memory lane! Especially the end of the video when you went for the ride! I had a 72 that we over bored, it had a fair deal of torque. Great vid!
im 55 retired and there is nothing more relaxing and therapeutic than working in my shop with my hands, not in a hurry to get anything done, other than to have fun with what im building. thanks for the video, i know the time they take to film and edit.
I owned a Yamaha 360 just like this one, in the extra plug hole I installed a manual compression release it had a small lever on the handlebars . Mine new from the factory had a lower end that made a lot of noise also and as soon as you kicked it over the sound brought back so many memories.
Thanks Mustie1 for bringing back fond memories of me growing up, tinkering on dirt/trail bikes, the smell of 2stroke in the morning, riding with friends all day in the bush/beach/pine forrest.Great days. Cheers, Mate, from Australia.
I use a leather belt with small vise grips wrapted around around the piston with oil on the piston. Won' scuff piston and easily removed after ring is into the bore. Use smooth side of belt against piston. Has worked well for me for several years.
I'm glad you took the time to tighten your safety cap. Safety First!
My brother had a 175 back in the mid '70s. It was great for a kid my size.
Welcome back, Mustie. Thanks for the new video, my Sunday is complete! haha
i always disabled oil injection, re-jetted the carb and ran pre-mix in the tank. too expensive when oil injection fails and you don't know it in time.
You could REALLY hear that rattling from the crank/rod in the end with the footage slowed down. Amazing how easily you can hear each stroke and how often you hear the rattle.
Keep it up Mustie! I've worked nights for many years, and I always look forward to watching your videos in the morning just before bed. So relaxing and enjoyable.
You are by far the best shop instructor on RUclips. Thank you for your tutelage and dry humor. It needs lube. haha
After hearing hundreds of Mustie's "Nut Jokes" and "Lube Jokes" and "Getting a Large Rod into a Smaller Hole Jokes" I would hardly call it "Dry Humor". I laugh like hell though.
@@captnmike597 I'm glad that you got a laugh out of it.
Love this bike! Man you are like the Bob Ross of wrenching. You make it look so easy and you're so calm doing it. Thanks
You brought back sounds of my youth with that bike. I could even smell the chain lube when you were spraying it! Thanks for the memories!
Working on a 1972 DT2 250 at the moment. 3k miles, and in fantastic shape. As always, thanks for your videos!
A lot of what you are hearing is just how a Yamaha big bore single sounds. That "ringing" on deceleration is completely normal. (I had that exact bike I purchase brand new. Ran it for 27,000.0 miles before I rand the injection pump out of oil. New piston and rings from Yamaha and a bore job gave it 11,000.0 more miles and then I sold it.). Amazing motorcycle. Almost unstallable with the big bore and reed valve system.
You mentioned being able to stop by local Yamaha dealer to buy a piston.
I was about 12 years old when I took a piston to the local Yamaha dealer.... for $15 I came home with new piston and rings.... was riding that afternoon. (Only had to mow 3 lawns to pay my Dad back)
I bought the same bike when I was 16 and loved it. It was in much better shape but I have enjoyed watching this bike get up and running. Thanks
This was another example of your knowledge and experience. A great two stroke tutorial. Kool
That is the one for you ! Do the bottom end and overbore the jug. Those are awesome bikes to ride and carry a very good resale value. Worth the investment. Maybe it will be delayed, but parts have to be out there - so many are being restored. You gotta do it. Awesome combo bike. Fun on the street. Has some balls. Hey - it’s always fun and informative to watch.
Well another excellent job by a fantastic mechanic. I enjoyed every minute of it. Your something else man.
This old bike brings back memories of woods rides here in the mountains of East Tennessee with my riding buddies. Some of the best times of my life. Enjoyed the vid. Hope you have a blast with it!
I didn't have any square sockets, so I welded 2 quarter in sockets together, (2) 3/8", and a quarter and a 3/8" together to turn taps on various applications. I also have that same S&k short 3/8 ratchet. Boy that thing sure comes in handy! Another great video, tks. for sharing,Sir! I had a TS 250 in my teens and this brings back some good memories.
Hi musti 1, I remember those old 360s what beats they were. You know I don't know if you're ever even going to fix it right or not but if you're not you probably ought to sell it to somebody that will that's definitely a piece of history that needs to be saved completely. Other than that I thought you did a pretty bang-up job, which is why you're the original RUclipsr. No sponsors no merch just plain old RUclips❤
Respect Darren, I must admit when I saw what you were doing I was really sceptical about how it woud run, that piston seems way too small and the single ring way too feeble, but it actually sounds pretty damn nice, and more importantly you seem to be having a blast on it.
Realy nice fast funny bike and sound. Thanks for all videos Mustie. See forward to next project you find.
Cool looking and sounding bike.....so cool ya fixed it !
Just about to go to bed when, hey, Mustie1 video and on an ol' Yamaha. My first bike was a Yamaha. Great fix for few parts. Never doubted you for a minute. Almost 2am in New Zealand, so good night from me!
Another great job! Always enjoy watching you work!
Hey Mustie lad, great to have you back, getting worried when you didn't show last Sunday. Hope you are OK now. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.
Nice to see a genuine engineer/mechanic fix things, not just replace parts for new ones.
The Enduro 🏍️ rips again. That’s all that matters and we enjoyed from afar.
As always thanks for sharing Darren 👍🇺🇸
Another great video. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. That bike stand looked a little shaky with you up there doing the kick start!
Mustie, you are one brave man, running 360 without muffler!
Camera does not do justice, to the violence coming out of that exhaust port.
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1! Great series!
Thanks again Darren your one of the few genuine utubers out there, no BS just interesting and informative videos.
Yeah Mutsie1 back 🎉 happy had video this week. Missed u last week glad able iron things out
When installing the cylinder on a two-stroke I usually compress the piston rings with a zip-tie, when it's slid down enough so that the rings are in, just snip it off. Have always worked well for me. Have only dealt with pretty smalls engines though, if that makes any difference...
Thanks for uploading, always educational and entertaining! Greetings from Sweden
Great video, she sounds Awesome. I hope you feel better. Thank you for posting 😀
Love watching you each week. Always amazed at your tallents. As a guy who craxhed his dirt bike and suffered a sever concussion I wish you would wear a helmet. I still have repercussions from my accident.
Glad your back Missed u last week... Really enjoyed the video keep up the amazing work 👍...
Glad you are back. Makes my day 😊
I always enjoy your videos Darren. These old bikes are so cool. I don’t know if it’s worth it but there are kits available to replace the rod bearings and journal for different motorcycles. It might be worth looking into. It’s not that difficult.
Awesome save sir and I think that you will have a great time on it thanks for sharing this with us six stars brother
Nice old bike,my cousin used to be a swinger on a bike/side car, off road racer,that was a 350 Yamaha, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Made for great viewing as always bro. Safe travels. Ken.
Growing up in Florida during the 60's and 70's we had Evel Knievel. Now we have "The Mighty Mustie" !!! What are some other titles he could have? Great Job Mustie bringing that Yamaha back for more adventures. Now you just need a ramp and a few barrels. Always fun.
Mustie you’re gonna get me in trouble looking for a dirt bike now haha. That bike has some potential. Great video. Hope all is well and great to see you back. As always very good content. Thanks for all your hard work.
Mr. Mustie1, your videos make my week. I especially love how you talk to the camera like you were talking to each viewer personally. Your editing style is top notch, making long form content is a rare skill. As noob I'd be a bit trepidatious to adjust head bolt torque on oiled bolts, I've been told the lubrication may in the worst case double bolt elongation and pressure. I'm sure you know what you're doing, can anyone confirm or debunk my anecdotal "knowledge"?
There's one wish I'd like to make though, having chapter marks in the longest videos would be wonderful, just a couple would make coming back to the video easier. Keep up the good work!
Love this channel so real down to earth learned a lot from him
Welcome back buddy, hope you are feeling better, I am having sciatic pain in the back of my legs, feels like lightning bolts going up my spine, hard to have any fun .I said a prayer for you .
Mustie, I always grease my taps to catch the filings and clean it with solvent frequently as I go. It's worked for me over the years. It's especially effective when doing spark plug holes on an assembled engine. Cheers!.
Missed you last week... I usually don't say anything on any channel.. to see me look at likes on comments..glad to see you!!
Brings back memories of when I was a teen in the 70s riding dirt bike threw the old trails in the woods of NH. Great to see you back Mustie.😂
Another very good Video Mustie.. cheers from Australia
Nice. Hope it lasts a long time . My first bike was a dt 250. Oil tank removed. Mixed in the tank, front mounted shocks , lights removed . Wish i still had it. Even better wish yamaha still made that one you are tinkering with.
Mentions neck injury, proceed to pull wheelies. Never change and thanks for the vid!
growing up in the midwest we had big sand piles that we called the "chat dump"..i imagine it's where they stored sand for salt sand mix for the snow..had a old big red that i wore slap out and then my uncle said ride this.."this" happened to be another honda but a 2 wheeler that i had to mount from a stump b/c i couldn't reach the ground..if memory serves me right it was a 500 and that thing was bad to the bone..man, the joys of being a kid in the 80s when times were more simple and the country was in a better place..keep doing what you do Darin
This was awesome. Thanks for the great video. I hope your neck gets better soon
🧑⚕
So glad to see a video this week. Missed you last Sunday. Be well.
Mustie missed you last Sunday glad to see you back
I had a 1975 Yamaha 400 enduro 2 stroke in the 80's.... it had wicked torque and was faster than i wanted to go down a trail.... nice bike Darren... thanks for the memories
I had a 360 and my brother had a 400 with electronic ignition and mine would smoke his all day.I even rebuilt it but it couldn't keep up with the 360.
Good morning from Montreal Canada. Waiting for a heavy rain to arrive, got a pressure headache but the sound of that rattle-can cleared it up…. Mustie1 is here to save the day. I had 2 great dirt bikes in my day ( turning 68 end of July) , a 1983 Honda XL250, which was just enough power for me at the time, and last had another Honda, but the tractor XL500, a torque monster , but what a blast in the woods and sand pits north of Montreal. After watching this, I miss the smell of a 2 stroke in the morning. 😁👍🇨🇦
Great video mustie , brought it back to life.
