Thanks for watching!! Check out our merch at www.junkyarddigs.com/
Good to see the C10 is driving
@@randywilson5166you mean the C10hhh
Hey Kevin has harvest started yet on the farm
Love my Raycons! Got two pairs now, soooo good! Thanks for the original recommendation
What’s up with the 2 tone brown blazer
Will it kill Kevin? Absolutely not. Kevin on a 3 wheeler is greater than the sum of its parts
cant agree more😂
It may break his collarbone. Three wheelers were notorious for breaking collarbones.
It’s not Kevin that’s scared of 3 wheelers, 3 wheelers are scared of Kevin 😂
He's the Chuck Norris of 3 wheelers
😂😂😂😂
I've lived in Minnesota my entire life and I can appreciate Ezra's true Minnesota accent showing from time to time.
Looks like this could have been filmed here in Maine. Fall in the north is something everyone should experience. The cris air and the smell of the trees and leaves. The colors are incredible.
Kevin is the only person who gets free reign of an entire piece of land full of vehicles and still finds vehicles outside of that area to buy and tinker on 😂
Can't beat a three-wheeler video, cheers Kevin.
That scenery is stunning Man them colors are gorgeous Kevin thanks for bringing us along 25:37 @Junkyard Digs
What an amazingly choreographed Video for an awesome birthday!!! Thank you Kevin, Mook, and the entire Junkyard Digs Family!! You guys Rock!! ❤❤🥰😎
You should upload a minimal-edit version of this, the scenery was heavenly!
It would have been 3 hours of us figuring out what to do 😂
@@JunkyardDigs you underestimate how boring we are and how much we enjoy your videos. I watch videos of hobo's riding trains and saying nothing for hours, so I assure you loads of us would watch anything you put out. No matter how long. Hell, one of the best videos on the channel is the outtake episode!
love your stuff. you have inspired me to give engines a shot. just picked a 1961 Evinrude 5.5 outboard $100. fired I can't go wrong either way
Make sure you go through the water pump on that! Sand the points and it should run
Love the three wheeler content! Great riding. Cool seeing Ezra in more videos, he's a good dude.
I don't even have to start watching. Of course it'll survive, it's a small Honda engine!
They are just launching that Old Girl dang Sweet Music and speed Footage Kevin 30:37 @Junkyard Digs
I had a very similar trick to clean the jets on an 82 Kawasaki I revived last year! Tool truck guy sold me a set of teeny tiny drill bits with a hand driver that was designed to clean torch tips. Went from plugged solid to running great in a couple hours!
All of the stuff I've learned from your videos has comeas a HUUUUUGE help for me getting my truck going and my threewheelers moving again, super informative and entertaining, thanks for the great content!
Them Fall Colors are Gorgeous 20:20 love my C1ohhh Shirts Kevin @Junkyard Digs
You grabbing that bristle-brush reminds me of the last time I had to clean out the carb for my lawn mower.
I learned that the main jet's diameter is exactly two strands of 14-ga stranded wire.
It has a sticky needle and seat now, but all I have to do is whack the carb with a wrench whenever it sticks (usually closed) and it'll be fine again.
Im out here in New Zealand and had a early Honda ATC 200B?. The big red For those who don't know its the one with the big Ohatsu tyre and no front shocks. I remember riding along a nice flat beach in top and hit a hollow spot. The trike went up . I went up. The trike came down . I came down. I bounced up off the seat and the trike carried on without me as i disappeared off the back and bounced . the bruises lasted for a while ouch. LOL Too much pressure in the front tyre was just as bad as too little pressure . There wasn't a sweet spot that I ever discovered but it was a lot of fun. I''m probably lucky that it was on 200cc and not the 250cc two stroke. Nearly every tree in New Zealand is ever green so they dont go those fantastic colours before they turn brown and drop off. I was in Maine in 2015 in November and the colours were fantastic. Awesome vid Kevin
Love this channel I’ve learned so much just by listening to Kevin’s such a smart guy it’s actually my dream to do revivals
I love stuff like this, bikes/atvs/acts, and square body chevys are my favorite things. You inspired me to buy an old truck again. Saturday I'm looking at an 88 c30
Quad view Screen was awesome kevin 30:42 @Junkyard Digs
Knew you would get it going without much. Them things are beasts leave em sit forever and they still run. That 4-player split screen camera action was cool man. Definitely some nice woods they got there, eh? We have some pretty nice woods here in Pennsylvania too.
I have an ‘85 SX that after purchasing we took to the Hatfield and Mcoy’s trail system in West Virginia which has hundreds of miles of simple to complex trails. Every single $20k atv/Utv that we saw stopped to check out my Honda and to validate my sanity for bringing it there…lol. Gotta luv those 3 wheelers!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane! My brothers and I wheeled almost the exact setup. 78 C10 long bed with a Honda Big Red, 250 sx and a Suzuki (50 cc?) dirt bike that was later swapped out for Polaris Scrambler 3 wheeler, requiring us to use a trailer or a second truck. Back when gov. ground was free to ride and no numbers required. Many summers of fun in Indiana! Awesome that the 250 sx still has brakes. Ours did until they didn't and we never fixed them. First gear on the downhills was enough. Great video!
Kevin that means we have been watching you for 6 yrs. That first will it run on the old blue no windshield ford, with thunderhead was so awesome. Iv been hooked ever since.
Thanks for single-handedly keeping me entertained during my fall break week from school. Keep it up, my favorite youtube channel now.
@27:07 this is literally why trikes were banned, the front wheel turned which forced you over the handlebars to the left. Worst case where people get killed is the trike follows you over and lands on you. Same thing almost happened to my brother, he had (un)fortunately a similar issue a couple years before where he ended up with a broken collarbone so was ready for the squirrelyness of it.
Although you may be right that there is a magic spot where it is more stable on smaller tires and once you get a certain size all bets are off
30:12 For those who want the song (probably only me)
The song name is Rock Solid by Mothers Madness.
I know no one will want it but I just wanted to say what song it was
One of my favorite ATCs ever. I bought a new 1985 250SX back in the day, and rode it until it died!!
I just got done with a 350x about an hour and a half north of Bemidji. It got a hot cam, titanium valve springs, high comp weisco piston, and a manual timing chain tensioner. Rips real good now. It'll slap you backwards on the dirt in 6th.
Growing up on a 1983 250R (mainly) and a few Suzuki and Yamaha ones, the one thing I did not like about the 250SX was the poor rear suspension travel. I did think that the reverse option was pretty neat though. I gottta admit though, the first time I rode a 200 Fat Cat on the streets was a thrill! It brought body language to a whole 'nother level!
Love your content Kevin! You make days of missing home (Southern IA) a little more bearable! (Live in Ga last 10 years) I stay waiting for the next episode!
That's so awesome. I've had a couple ATCs in the past but I've wanted another for years. Just checked, nothing under $2k around here!
I used to have a 200x. Had a blast riding it around including Oldsmobile Hill at Glamis California. I miss that trike.
My dad flipped one of those, the whole bike flipped up and around and the luggage rack bent around his abdomen. The force of the impact mushed his guts. He actually died in the helicopter on the way to the hospital but was revived. They put him on the operating table and patched things back up as best they could. Decades of problems but he’s still alive and ticking today
Im glad he's still around, those honda trikes cam be dangerous, sounds like a really bad wreck if the rack bent that much
Definitely want to see you revive that truck Kevin. Maybe next spring ? Great video, beautiful scenery!!!
This video brings back so many memories for me! The three wheeler though I had the x version with the clutch, to my introduction to dirt bikes which was a Kdx. I had to ride my uncles three wheelers and then when I could finally make money get my own. I loved it so much and the exact machines you guys are riding are the same I learned and loved. As I’m sure many others, they don’t build em like they used to
Thank you for the best ATC footage the internet has seen in a long time! I haev over 30 Honda ATCs and have done almost exactly what you did with nearly all of them; buy them beat for cheap and fix them up to former glory. I have nearly every ATC Honda ever made and the 250sx is a true pleasure to ride. My 250r's and 350x;s are great, don't get me wrong, but the 250sx is just easy to start, predictable and has a lot of realiable grunt! Awesome video, and fantastic rescue of that old Honda!
What one is your least favorite?
Reminds me of my younger days in NZ, riding my 3 wheelers down the beach to go fishing, having some fun in the dunes. PVC spouting wired and taped to the sides as rod holders and my whitebait net and go-byes across the rack. Good times!!
Nice work on that 80s riding sequence! The quad split screen was a nice touch.
Great video as usual. There's a Honda 200X in my grandpa's back field that burnt up in a fire.
37:19 That teal GMC Suburban back there looks like the same one my pap had years ago.
You never fail to bring the perfect video at the right time
You can take the paper/plastic coating off a bread tie, and that fine wire works really well for cleaning small holes on carbs.
Honestly done it more than a few times with lawn mower carbs.
What a fun weekend! Thanks for sharing the fall colors with us! I miss that here in Texas.
One of my top 3 favorite 3 wheelers of all time, 250sx has it all! Great video!
Kevin this was a fun video seeing you guys having fun on three wheelers. I always look forward to watching your videos.
I hope you had a safe trip home.
that truck u came up to, please yes make revive video of it !!!! cheers from FINLAND!!!!!! i really love the content u guys do!
Love the old Honda 250sx and the work that was done to it!! Really like the informational tech that came with this video!! Also, just bought my first ever piece of tech from Raycon, their Everyday Headphones. Hoping to love these just as much as the old Turtle Beach ones I had for 10 years. Keep rocking and rolling and driving the old C1oohh sir!!
Completely relate. Grew up 3 wheeling around Bemidji.
Ya know Kevin, I'm surprised you haven't extended your searches to tow behind campers that you could load up with a variety of tools like a mini workshop you could take with ya on long distance revivals!! I know you've got your Teng tools bed tool box, but you could totally load that yow behind with the stuff that CAN'T fit in there!! Ultrasonic cleaner, a variety of oils & cleaning supplies, mount some solar panels on the roof with some battery banks inside AND, if you're out in the middle of nowhere, you could SLEEP in there TOO!!😉🥃
When saying goodbye to Bob, did it take at least ten minutes with the 'Minnesota goodbye'? Over here in the UK, we have certain areas where a farewell can last a while, usually in the west country or the North, in a pub. What starts as......'This will be my last pint, best get home' turns into 'Oh, one more for the road, this is my last'. After two hours and another five pints, you're still no closer to leaving.
11:20
I felt that, I really felt that... Brake / carb cleaner in a fresh wound, or worse, brake fluid, is about the worst pain you can experience, apart from said fluids directly on nerve endings.
Really glad you did the recap starting with step 1
I work on scooters a lot, usually use the twist ties off a bread bag to clean The Jets lol I have a ton of them in my toolbox
I was in Minnesota 2 years ago during fall absolutely fell in love with it
I have been loving the channel found it a little over a week ago been binging it while working on my first atv revival.
I remember when they came out with a 4-wheel conversion for the Big Red. My cousin rigged one up with a pair of skis and chains, and ran it all winter. It was crazy looking...
For cleaning jets I like to use stranded wire and it's nice cus as it clears out you can add strands to clear it out more and more
I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. I was riding the Honda big red utility three wheelers when I was big enough to shift it. Once I got old enough to ride the five speed sport bikes they were so damn fast compared with the utility ATCs I was really amazed. I would have liked to have seen how bad ass they would have been if they had two stroke engines in them.
I worked with the Big Reds on the farm I grew up at. Even had to assist with rebuilding the clutch pack in one. That is a finger buster for sure 😮😅😅😅
Stunning scenery in northern Minnesota, my kind of place. I've never been to that part of the US but would love to visit some day.
It gets seriously cold in the winter. Had to do some deliveries up there and dealt with Temps in the -20 range. 😮😮😂
Just bought a pair of Raycons, and they are hands down the best earbuds I have ever worn. The quality is unmatched and the reasonable price is the real cherry on top
Hellz YEAH! Nothing like rocking to Megaman-ish music through the woods in your three-wheeler! 🤘
growing up my brother and i had a honda 125 fourtracks 87 and a honda xr80 79 our yard looked like a dirt track parents didnt care at all liked knowing were we was ...great memories
It looks great fun flying around those woods on the three wheeler, But with all those trees close by I would say it could become NOT fun very quickly!
Yes will hurt French kissing 💋 a tree. That would be a very bad day 😂😂
31:52 this is awesome!!! Nice editing and driving!
I really enjoy theses type of videos. I got a Honda Recon 250 for free earlier this year, a new stator and carb clean got it running and have rode it 500 trouble free miles between two week long riding trips already.
There's a reason I like my ATVs with four wheels!! Great episode, thanks Kevin.
none the less the 90's action music was worth the race alone! Great video as always!
What s nice deer hunting property. That would be a treat to visit every fall.
The bars always got bent back and in. Great revival of a great old trike. Have fun and be careful.
Omg! You have to get the red beetle running! ❤🐞 Please, please, please! Big bug hugs from Texas! ❤
Dude the square body with three wheelers is sick
So proud for you. Been watching for 6 years and always impressed how you continue to improve. Here is to another 6 and more!
Kevin saying "very niceee!" is my favorite part of every JYD video. Oh, and the fiixing stuff too.
Here in the uk we know them as sand racers brilliant on the beach and the dunes great bikes brilliant show guys keep it up..
It's time to drop everything get beer and watch jyd chaos. Loving it
3 wheelers are so cool. I need to find one for my 80’s/90’s collection I have going on.
If you ever need help fixing a three wheeler, my dads got you covered. He has like 12 in his small back yard that he fixes then sells, so if your ever in Canada BC, you should definitely stop by
I had a 1985 250 SX with a factory rear rack. It was an awesome cow chaser
Yes Sir! You have discovered why Northern Minnesota is my all time favorite riding area! Love the videos as always buddy and eagerly awaiting my C-1Ohhhhh shirt! Rock on!
Stupendous, brilliant, wonderful, and exceptional video editing and brilliant fall foliage. This was may I say a brilliant and derring do episode.
Best friend has someone growing up!!! Thing is amazing!!!
I have a Honda 185 three wheeler runs excellent I love it no suspension in the back still fun
I have this same bike, it's an 86 Honda Sx 250 and it is bulletproof original piston and ring, you can't kill it!
The badass music you chose for the montage sounds like epic boss music, and I'm here for it.
Gotta say I bought the Raycon earbuds about five years ago too. They are everything you say they are. Durable and the batteries last a long time.
The three wheeler, snowmobile and farm vids are the best! Keep them coming!
love the channel for the vehicle revival content. Now becoming a 3 wheeler fan and searching marketplace for cheap ones...keep the atv content coming!
This literally brought me back to my youth when I had my first 3 wheeler - Honda 125M!!
That carb looks like an SU carb for a little British sports car. A slide for the main jet attached to a dash pot and a butterfly for the intake.
Definitely some similarities. However the slide doesn't appear to be vacuum operated in that Honda carb.
You sir are a ATC whisperer. I started on a 1979 110 (probably still running today) and ended on a 1985 250R. I had a few in between but I think I had 2 of the best ever made.
hey kevin, pro tip : take your tip cleaners and rub the tip against a file a bit and put a little bevel on it. lets the cleaner drill through oxidation and buildup a lot easier
I really enjoyed the footage through the woods.👍
Love the inverted brake clean technique. Two squirts for the carb and one for mother earth Gaia.
Super fun video, brother! And yep, Hondas are def the BEST; I've totally drowned mine multiple times and she keeps on going...Scenery was so beautiful and looked like you guys had a blast! Good for you! A+++++
Three wheelers in Texas sounds like the perfect title of an adventure!
@@JunkyardDigs heck yeah! Come on down!!!
Wow, bringing back so many fun memories hearing the starter cranking and the engine running. I had an 86 250ES big red. Traded for an escort wagon!😂😂
Close times not bad for being the biggest guy 👍🏼. Another banger kev thanks for sharing as always brother look for to the next 1 !🤘🏼. The Scenery is nice its like that here in n.y. this time of year. Catching leaves was classic😅.
Pretty sick 3 wheeler video. Keep it up! Love to do a revival with you some time.
Im 43 years old and couldn't tell you the hours ive put on a 125-185-200 and 250 honda three wheeler cant forget the tri- z 250 either.. got the scars to prove it.. lol
