I am an engineer and watching you troubleshoot your problems helps me find new perspectives when I am working. Totally different issues but your mindset can be applied to many applications. Thanks!
I can't ever thanks enough you sir, just about 3 weeks watching your videos, I had fixed all my 3 walking lawnmowers, 1 Muray tractor, 1chainsaw and 2 trimmers. Now I just have 1 more kid bike rider to do. Thanks abunch pro Mustie1. And I love your kindness and joyful laugh!!!
@Mark Schaffer You mean 5 up, right? ;-) The Kawasaki 500 Triple (H2s) were 5 up. Easy to get in N. Sometimes too easy! I never had a problem with that, though. Never knew why they would do that with something ridden off road.
Cool! Those winner laughs are always absolutely priceless. Fortunately they are not rare because usually Mustie1 brings everything back to live. Can't wait to watch him having even more fun driving than starting it. I simply love Lilly.
Who needs Peloton when you have an old kick start Suzuki? My favorite part of these videos is the Mustie laugh when an engine first fires up. Had to wait a long time to hear that this time. Second favorite part is playing with Lilly. Thanks for my new Sunday morning routine, Mustie...
When you miss leg day at the gym ...." take 274 " , kick 11,597 and yes , M1 stands triumphant over his tea kettle on wheels ! You had to work for this one , nice work , you should be walking again in a few days lol.
They ran when they were put away 5 years ago. Everything’s there. Just needs starter, battery, plastics, tires, chain, carb, and valve job. Also smokes and won’t stay running or go into 2nd gear. $800. No low ballers I know what I got. No tire kickers serious buyers only
Cool video my friend. I have the exact 86 lt 230!!! It was given to me not running. Gave her some TLC, and now its pretty much bullet/kid proof. Carbon build up on both valves, on mine was a major issue. Got rid of that.....now it smokes no more and starts with a half kik. Good job man.
Budget Buildz. Young Kid. No swearing and he laughs at himself like this guy. He's in N.C working on a Porsche he salvaged from a junkyard for 500bucks. Plus alot of stuff people don't want. The only one i've subscribed to, besides this guy.
I absolutely love both Mustie and Camarata. I will check out those other 2 while I am sitting at home like everyone else. These guys get me motivated and give me so many great ideas.
yessssssssssssss! the maniacal cackle that is the MUSTIE TRADEMARK of a bike, car or motor COMING BACK to LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one of my favorite people on youtube.... a must watch .... how he doesn't have millions of followers .... I don't know .... keep it up sir ... you educate and entertain
I used to have 3 of these mid 80s Suzuki LT230s every one of them broke that side cover at some point when the chain would come off. There was supposed to be another bold in that cover where you were digging but it gets ripped off by the chain. I ended up buying new covers and making guards out of 1/8x1 flat bar. Solved that problem. The decompression was operated by a hand lever that was on the left hand bar and pointed up above the clutch lever. It was like a bicycle hand brake lever. I never used it but all of mine had it. Those are awesome quads. They go forever and got a ton of power. Great find and good job getting it back to life.
Same experience here - my dad took the engine to his shop and had the bolt hole welded up, cover repaired, and retapped. My decompression lever never worked properly, spent a lot of time pulling it up hills to push start it. Ended up selling it after a top-end rebuild didn't fix other problems it had.
I just got my first quad, it was free don’t know much about them. After doing some research I found it’s a lt230. Found this video, it’s the first time iv ever watched any of your content. Watched the whole thing and I learned a lot. I can’t wait to check more of your stuff out!
Search wide, if you find the right deal, a shipping co can have it brought your way, they will want it containing no oil or fuel, but it might be reasonable cost, after jan.1 the supply/ demand ratio is best for finding stuff, less people looking, less people riding, of course, deals are all about timing, finding them & pouncing on them
As I lurked outside the castle, from within I heard an engine come to life. Intermixed with the cacophony of gears and valves and spark induced explosions, I could just barely hear the mad chuckle of Dr. Mustie. Once again, a long dead creature had been brought back to life.
just started watching but i think at least one of them will work.. those old suzukis are pretty bullet proof. However, the young child who knows not of engine oil and usually rides said quad is often the suzukis only natural predetaor
Ahhh the old LT230s and LT80. I worked for one of the countries largest Suzuki dealers before the internet era. We had 22 phone lines and we sold parts and accessories over the phone (nationwide by ads in the back of dirt bike and atv magazines) by looking them up on hand micro fische parts breakdowns. I still have part numbers committed to memory for some common things...lol... left crankcase covers (axle and swing arm bearings start to go...chain flies off breaks the sprocket guard off), stators, gaskets, reverse lever and shifter seals.... you gave me flashbacks... hahah Best way to start these is stand on it like you are riding it, fold the right peg up and kick straight down.
Great video because of the challenge and adventure in getting that thing going again. I was really looking forward to it since you picked it up. Thanks and I hope to see more of it!
Also... That carb does NOT have a "choke". Instead it uses an 'enrichener' circuit. An enrichiner will ONLY work when the throttle is at idle position..... If you open the throttle-slide the vacuum is lost to the enrichener circuit hence reducing the additional fuel flow. (disabling the enrichener)
I've not long started following Mustie 1, great video's, I know this is an older video but when we were on the farms and playing around with old seized engines we put diesel down plug holes, that seemed to work really well. That worked with both diesel and petrol ( gas) engines.
I got a brand new '85 Quadsport when Suzuki first released it back in '84. That one looks like an '86 model. I'm a 3-wheeler devotee, BUT...I like the LT230 Quadsport. Always have. Come to think of it, the only 4-wheelers I've ever owned (in a sea of 3-wheelers and dirt bikes) were Suzukis....that '85 Quadsport, an '88 LT250R Quadracer, and an '88 LT500R Quadzilla.
You're right, you need one of us along when you go picking in those unlimited trash runs to help you get the things in the truck, and help get them out too. But you Really need your 16 yr. old self to come back and kick them over!(I do too, many times have said "getting to old for this") but man when they 1st start! It makes it all worth it. I do it a bit different, 1st take off the air cleaner assembly so I'm not dragging in half decicated mouse bodies and usually look into the intake, look into the combustion chamber, then the valves. Use a shot of PB Blaster, then some light sewing machine oil in the jug. Get them freed up, then check for spark etc.. All adds up to the same thing though, and glad to see it come back, those were good motors, especially if you find them quit on someone before they beat the crap out of them.
If there was ever a place that needs an electric starter that is the one! No wonder they shoved it to the curb. Still, just getting it to fire at all is more than most people are capable of today. Good job as usual.
Man I loved this video. And wanted to help. I have this very 230 Quadsport got it when I was 12 years old I'm 36 now. Do your self a favor the next time you kick it throw a leg over stand on the left peg and kick straight down with your heal. Compression release goes upwards on the top left handlebar. As for the chain coming off and hitting the case there notorious for it. I still love mine. And I'll be honest I was laughing just a bit before you realized it was in reverse. But something was definitely causing it to bind up.
I told Mustie he is getting to old for kicking these bikes. Finally he admitted. He should have a younger assistant or only pick electric starter bikes. I admit that I am also too old for kicking.
Peter here thanks for a great video ,just a word on the blue crate from past experience I’ve learnt if you Are going to stand on them it is best to put a piece of ply on top held down with a few Zippy ties makes them really strong keep safe thank you
Great motivation video you stuck through it till the end until that thing started running I was just as happy as you were. The anticipation at the end was great and for free you can't beat that
For an old man, you are a beast hahaha. I already start feeling aching pain right off the bat when you pull the atv onto the stand. Let alone from the recap video when you are loading them onto the truck. And I'm 27.......sad Haha.
lol yeah, I got out of breath just watching him kick that engine over again and again. I'm 31 and I get out of breath sometimes kickstarting my old 2 stroke haha
I have owned an 1986 Suzuki 230 Quadsport. I currently own 3 Suzuki 250 Quadsports. They have not changed much in 40 years. The following year after your bike was one of the firsts with electric start and reverse!
I had a Suzuki LT230 Quad sport like that when I was a kid it was a fun machine the only issue I ever had with it was the rear axle bushings ware out and the chain pops off the sprocket destroying the cover right in front of the drive sprocket and I've learned that JB weld works real good to fix the busted cast aluminum cover
i do hes a genius with small engines i know its not rocket science but still most people would have just junked it half way thru i started to watch him a few months ago when i was on a honda trail ct 70 kick a buddy of mine has 2 i wanna nab one off him
I’ve been looking for a side kicker LT230s for awhile, the chain eating the stator cover is a very common problem with these, you can find a good one on eBay cheap. Please do a restoration video, get it running, clean, paint, redo the plastics, make it really nice, as soon as I find one, I’ll do the same thing.
I bolted 2 alum plates to my left side swingarm spar, then bolted a MX bike chain guide to the plates, using spacers & washers to line up guide with chain ( it's not parallel to swingarm ) - now I'm confident that a pebble or stick won't derail my chain; & replace a worn out chain, you will get better performance & no worries about snapping.even if you have to put a new chain on old sprockets, it's still better
I got one of these exept its a 160 and adopted the quadrunner name its a beautiful machine still runs nice and strong currently having a issue with my drum brake partially engaged at all times but other than that had it for a year now and only had to replace a cdi box and solinoid but thats primarily because the guy i bougbt it off of made a mess of the harness and hooked up my brake indicator directly to the solinoid
That video where he dropped a part inside the engine and was trying to fish it out - I found myself tilting my head from side to side, trying to see inside the engine.
I had an old girlfriend get mad at me at a movie when a girl with a low cut shirt appeared. I re-positioned myself about the same time and she thought I was trying to get a better look... My completely valid argument that it was physically impossible did not phase her.
This guy is persistent I tell you😊 and has a great time doing what he does. Kinda of a dinosaur great I enjoy myself just watching him have a great time👍👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
@ Mike Fn Garage , We have fall and spring clean up around here also . But no one ever throws away anything good like that . I've seen Mustie 1 pass up a bunch of bicycles though . I would fix them up , shine them up and sell them.
I am an engineer and watching you troubleshoot your problems helps me find new perspectives when I am working. Totally different issues but your mindset can be applied to many applications. Thanks!
I can't ever thanks enough you sir, just about 3 weeks watching your videos, I had fixed all my 3 walking lawnmowers, 1 Muray tractor, 1chainsaw and 2 trimmers. Now I just have 1 more kid bike rider to do. Thanks abunch pro Mustie1. And I love your kindness and joyful laugh!!!
Fantastic!
It wouldn’t be a Sunday afternoon without watching Mustie make something work again
afternoon already? I just woke up and its 7:42am sunday here lol
Somebody needs to check a clock, unless they live east of the USA... like Australia
Patrick Fennessy I’m in the UK the upload was at exactly 12pm so only just afternoon for me
@Mark Schaffer You mean 5 up, right? ;-) The Kawasaki 500 Triple (H2s) were 5 up. Easy to get in N. Sometimes too easy! I never had a problem with that, though. Never knew why they would do that with something ridden off road.
Chris ruffell understood, after traveling to Indonesia, and Japan, grasping a hold of international time zones isn’t all that hard!
Man I love these long episodes of just tinkering with stuff I love it!
It's nice to see an old dog up and playing ! Oh and nice seeing lily play too ! Lol
We all play... it just how hard we play and what we look at as fun!
Your perseverance is legendary. I'm always amazed at your ability to fix what seem like hopeless cases. And your dog is adorable!
I love a snowy morning in Upstate NY, Mustie a cup of coffee and a "will it run" episode. Thank you!
Cool! Those winner laughs are always absolutely priceless. Fortunately they are not rare because usually Mustie1 brings everything back to live. Can't wait to watch him having even more fun driving than starting it. I simply love Lilly.
Who needs Peloton when you have an old kick start Suzuki? My favorite part of these videos is the Mustie laugh when an engine first fires up. Had to wait a long time to hear that this time. Second favorite part is playing with Lilly. Thanks for my new Sunday morning routine, Mustie...
I'm having just as much fun watching this rebuild as Mustie1 is having rebuilding it! This is great!
When you miss leg day at the gym ...." take 274 " , kick 11,597 and yes , M1 stands triumphant over his tea kettle on wheels ! You had to work for this one , nice work , you should be walking again in a few days lol.
Grate job you do I like watching you get old stuff back to life again
Where I live, people would be asking 800 a piece for those atv’s
Yep, they would say they are "vintage" and are not running "right now" probably need a battery.
They ran when they were put away 5 years ago. Everything’s there. Just needs starter, battery, plastics, tires, chain, carb, and valve job. Also smokes and won’t stay running or go into 2nd gear. $800. No low ballers I know what I got. No tire kickers serious buyers only
@@esigman1 That's right. They cost more being vintage. "You cannot find these anymore"
No one here throws anything away. Junk riding mowers $150. and I mean JUNK.
@@rrrr635 Here either. They try to ask $50.00 for a water glass claiming it was owned by the Pope.
The knowledge I have picked up from u is priceless .. Thanks
This video made me smile twice. Once when it started and more so watching, Lilli play with that bottle. My black lab loves those things too.
Cool video my friend. I have the exact 86 lt 230!!! It was given to me not running. Gave her some TLC, and now its pretty much bullet/kid proof. Carbon build up on both valves, on mine was a major issue. Got rid of that.....now it smokes no more and starts with a half kik. Good job man.
The only people I will watch hour long videos from are mustie1 and Andrew camarata.

Amen.
your breath of knowledge is impressive, it is fun and educational to watch you work!
Looks like Lilly the old girl still has some play in her. We will all miss her when she's gone but for now we get to enjoy watching you play with her.
You the prev?
? I don't follow.
@Mr Beast Nope
Don't say that.

My 230 was a two kick every time.. loved that thing should have never sold it.. Awesome video keep'em coming..
I love the Evil Scientist laugh when it starts.

Hey Guys, and how's it goin? Right on the dot! I sure do appreciate your lack of the "overproduced opening" some creators offer!
This is close to being the only intro on YT that I don't fast forward though.

Dang, him playing with his dog at 1:02:50 is so wholesome
i find it a little ruff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've learned to wear my safety glasses when I watch your videos! lol
I enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you!
Mustie must get up early. And once again he amazes us with his talents. Lilly is a good girl.
He records on various different days, one video could be many days, but cut down. This was probably last night. Then there's the uploading time too.
Jerry Dodge except he showed the intro to this video last Sunday
Impressed with your perseverance in trying to get the 4 wheeler going, way to go!
Man I like it you get stuff running that's been sitting for years.good job.
I just got my first quad, it was free don’t know much about them. After doing some research I found it’s a lt230. Found this video, it’s the first time iv ever watched any of your content. Watched the whole thing and I learned a lot. I can’t wait to check more of your stuff out!
if you get yours going (or not) see if he'll let ya tag to this one!
I’ll have time this weekend to tare into her hopefully just has bad gas lol what ya mean tag to this one?
I got it to start!! Just doesn’t stay running gotta work on it more tomorrow 🤘🏽
Glad you picked those up, I hate seeing stuff like that thrown out.

i like that you work and talk to viewer so we understand what you are doing that means a lot
As I lurked outside the castle, from within I heard an engine come to life.
Intermixed with the cacophony of gears and valves and spark induced explosions, I could just barely hear the mad chuckle of Dr. Mustie. Once again, a long dead creature had been brought back to life.
74, that makes us the same age. Class of ‘63? Now I know why I like to watch your videos. We both enjoy working on the same type of junk.
watching you shoot marvel mystery oil across the shop from a spark plug hole will never get old
That was... GLORIOUS! And your fur baby was by your side!
just started watching but i think at least one of them will work.. those old suzukis are pretty bullet proof. However, the young child who knows not of engine oil and usually rides said quad is often the suzukis only natural predetaor

Mustie time. Enjoying with a nice cup of tea here in England 😀👍
Same. 👍 🇬🇧
Same
Ditto
A cup of coffee here in Brazil.
Oh great, now I've read that i gotta go make a brew too. Not had a cup of tea for months but now feeling the need. Greetings from Manchester.
It's almost silly how exited I am watching these. Not even scrolling down to the comments in order to avoid spoilers.
Yippee! Man, I hope your back is ok after dragging that thing up on the lift. You're the Man!
Great video because of the challenge and adventure in getting that thing going again. I was really looking forward to it since you picked it up. Thanks and I hope to see more of it!
Also... That carb does NOT have a "choke". Instead it uses an 'enrichener' circuit. An enrichiner will ONLY work when the throttle is at idle position..... If you open the throttle-slide the vacuum is lost to the enrichener circuit hence reducing the additional fuel flow. (disabling the enrichener)
Bruce Peebles my old Yamaha TT350 had an enrichment circuit. If only the 15yr old me at the time knew that lol
Yep learned that on my polaris
As usual one man's trash is another man's treasure. Great to keep another machine out of the landfill.
I've not long started following Mustie 1, great video's, I know this is an older video but when we were on the farms and playing around with old seized engines we put diesel down plug holes, that seemed to work really well. That worked with both diesel and petrol ( gas) engines.
Thanks for having me over bud. Tell the boss we all love her👍👍✌
Me: “I can’t see a damn thing.”
Mustie: “You’re not going to be able to see a damn thing.”
Well there it is. Lol
its like looking in the mirror viewing your persistence, at times there is victory because defeat always lurks in our back pocket! Keep it going!
You always find the best stuff!! I’m jealous
It only becomes the best stuff when the patience pays off.
Thank you for all the effort you put in every video you upload dude, you inspire me to diy my own small engines...if I ever get any again, thanks dude
I've been waiting for the quads
I got a brand new '85 Quadsport when Suzuki first released it back in '84. That one looks like an '86 model.
I'm a 3-wheeler devotee, BUT...I like the LT230 Quadsport. Always have.
Come to think of it, the only 4-wheelers I've ever owned (in a sea of 3-wheelers and dirt bikes) were Suzukis....that '85 Quadsport, an '88 LT250R Quadracer, and an '88 LT500R Quadzilla.
Yay, Lily! I love it when she visits. If there is a Lily Fan Club, then I want to join!!
The only thing better than an electrical tape bandaid is a blue painters tape bandaid! I love your videos - thanks for sharing!
You're right, you need one of us along when you go picking in those unlimited trash runs to help you get the things in the truck, and help get them out too.

I loved watching the dog watching you when you were trying to start the suzuki That was priceless.
Best ever excitement moment in youtube history... Dog watched Mustie1... and she wasn't impressed.... lol I loved the video man....
You and your channel is what RUclips needs more of. This is not only fun it's very educational for the new generations :P
Hello!
Never run a four stroke engine backwards!
The chain can skip!
I like your videos very entertaining!
Cheers from Sweden
If there was ever a place that needs an electric starter that is the one! No wonder they shoved it to the curb. Still, just getting it to fire at all is more than most people are capable of today. Good job as usual.
Man I loved this video. And wanted to help. I have this very 230 Quadsport got it when I was 12 years old I'm 36 now.

Great video. You always laughing makes it fun to watch
I like the way you said WE had difficulty loading into the back of the truck I don't remember seeing anybody else there to help,
It was a we project... a me, myself and I ... the best team you can find at times!
You didn't see the mouse in his pocket ? ; )
I don’t look in pockets! Somebody might get the wrong idea! 😅😅😅
Always a good time to watch you work and that laugh when you get it to fire up. "PRICELESS" :-) makes me laugh too.
lol - when it's in fast motion Lilly still moves slow : ) Gawd bless her.
Man, these Suzukis, by the time you had them started, it was time for bed, those were the days tho. Thx for sharing!
That was exhausting to watch all that kick-starting, I need a rest now. Great job that four-wheeler will run again.
another great video at my age I wouldn't want to have to relied on the kick starter , but I enjoyed the repair ! miks
Ya gotta wonder what goes thru a dogs head when they are watching humans ." Mustie note to self " Only pick up junk ATVs with electric start.
I told Mustie he is getting to old for kicking these bikes. Finally he admitted. He should have a younger assistant or only pick electric starter bikes. I admit that I am also too old for kicking.
It keeps him young
Peter here thanks for a great video ,just a word on the blue crate from past experience I’ve learnt if you Are going to stand on them it is best to put a piece of ply on top held down with a few Zippy ties makes them really strong keep safe thank you
Wow I think there was more smoke coming out the front of it than the tail pipe
that's what I thought lol.
@@robgto7051 yeah, i am sure it took a hit too, that pipe shouldn't be so close to the oil plug imho.
I saw a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil run down the cooling fins when he was squirting it in the plughole, that had to be some of the smoke.
Great motivation video you stuck through it till the end until that thing started running I was just as happy as you were. The anticipation at the end was great and for free you can't beat that
For an old man, you are a beast hahaha. I already start feeling aching pain right off the bat when you pull the atv onto the stand.
Let alone from the recap video when you are loading them onto the truck.
And I'm 27.......sad Haha.
He might just ignore it all and keep going. That's a beast right there
lol yeah, I got out of breath just watching him kick that engine over again and again. I'm 31 and I get out of breath sometimes kickstarting my old 2 stroke haha
We may be old, but we get-r-done! Regardless of past injuries!
Every kick I was there with you, I feel your hard work, the anticipation of the ignition keeps you going!
My knees are killing me watching you kick it over so many times. I wouldn't be able to walk tommorrow if i did that.
I have owned an 1986 Suzuki 230 Quadsport. I currently own 3 Suzuki 250 Quadsports. They have not changed much in 40 years. The following year after your bike was one of the firsts with electric start and reverse!

Sade Kelley smells like victory!
Smells like the possibility of an engine will run again and that's the best smell of all
It's wintergreen! slightly different but, yeah reminds of dipping tobacco
luv the smell of burnt MARVEL MYSTERY OIL in the MORNING......................better than NAPALM

I got one of these exept its a 160 and adopted the quadrunner name its a beautiful machine still runs nice and strong currently having a issue with my drum brake partially engaged at all times but other than that had it for a year now and only had to replace a cdi box and solinoid but thats primarily because the guy i bougbt it off of made a mess of the harness and hooked up my brake indicator directly to the solinoid
Definitely a cool find 230 quadsport but they blow case's faster then they go Vintage Nice 💯🙌👍
"I dont want to shoot the oil out", 5 sec later big explosion of oil. lol!

This man does not give up!
That is not a bad thing I have the same determination when I'm working on ATVs or dirt bikes
AWESOME JOB BROTHER!!!! GOT TO LOVE IT WHEN THEY FIRE UP AND IT WAS FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s me tilting my iPad to get a better look in the oil fill. 🤣🤣
That video where he dropped a part inside the engine and was trying to fish it out - I found myself tilting my head from side to side, trying to see inside the engine.
I had an old girlfriend get mad at me at a movie when a girl with a low cut shirt appeared. I re-positioned myself about the same time and she thought I was trying to get a better look... My completely valid argument that it was physically impossible did not phase her.
Sadly I did the same thing lol 😂😂😂
I had my nose against my phone looking at the timing chain. Lol

Smells like Victory? One of Mustie's best videos. Much appreciated.
I wish we had that spring and fall cleaning thing I would spend all night driving around with a trailer just to pick up stuff like that.
@ Mike Fn Garage ,
We have fall and spring clean up around here also . But no one ever throws away anything good like that . I've seen Mustie 1 pass up a bunch of bicycles though . I would fix them up , shine them up and sell them.
