1970s Mini Chopper Restoration | Vintage Briggs & Stratton Power!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2021
- Today's mini bike build features a 1970s chopper mini bike. We bought this cheap mini bike for $40, and it needed a full restoration. We install a vintage Briggs and Stratton engine on this old mini bike, as well as upgrade the wheels, tires, seat, and rebuild the front suspension. Then we take this cruiser mini chopper around the CarsandCameras Grand Prix!

The moment Issac rips the sand paper in the background and goes 😤 at 10:15 😂
Hahaha I never noticed that🤣
Cover the back of your sandpaper with painters tape.
@@mrromantimothy Dude. Why have I never thought of reinforcing the back....thank you for this tid bit
@@CarsandCameras thank you guys for the great content! Each video y’all get a little closer to a million. With hard work good results will come. Keep it up!!!
CarsandCameras were do y’all get y’alls carburetors that can run menthol
Name Idea: Old Glory.
It's old, and it's glorious!
Seriously like this one
Yes i was thinking the same thing
I like Old glory but i think Faded Glory might be more apt.
How ‘bout “old iron sides”?
Maybe add a few more colors and call it the Fruit Pride Flyer....
(Ducking 1/2" ratchet coming at my head.)
Call it, "Ol' Captain Sam."
Agreed👍
i like it alot...
You're not gonna get one better than that.
And we can refer to John as Capt’n Crunch anytime he lays it down 😎👍
Ol’Captain Sam 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
i miss og gokarts .. bring em back please fellas
Huh
@@bannoch ive watched these guys since the beginning, from cars to gokarts and so on. Their O.G. videos were gokarts on 4 wheels and i miss those. I aint trashing mini bikes because i too want to build one but those yerf dogs, murrays, and monster truck vids got me into these dude. The roadkill of the gokart world
@@nameistrever71498 they still make those videos bro you buggin
@@bannoch true, just not in a while. ive watched every single episode of theirs, huge fan of their work. They got me to rebuild an old a yerf dog. Their custom builds are amazing
GoPowerSports sells an OG style bare frame but the cost plus shipping is outrageous. It's often out of stock for obvious reasons. It's basically a clone of a Manco American Express kart. Azusa makes a ladder style frame but it's really short. Can be lengthened by cutting it and welding in longer tubes.
"Impact Driver.. once or twice a year" HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA *Cries in rust belt*
Lol yes
Shake n Break
It will change your life😉👍👍
i'm sayin. every time i work on an old motorcycle i use mine. those steel jis screws into aluminum cases are a guaranteed strip out without it. i'm gonna get one that chucks up into my pneumatic impact gun i use it so much.
@@handyhippie6548 fr I too work on old Japanese bikes, master cylinder screws require an impact driver
@@BackyardRevivals i've had to drill out more of them than i'd like to admit. i always replace them with stainless steel so the next guy doesn't have it so rough.
Next shirt should say, “Good thing it’s just a 4 Horse.”
DEFINITELY!!
@@rowdyyates7748 for sure!!!
I would pay money for that shirt
"Old Glory" Seems to be the fitting name for the Bike, Or maybe Old Knievel?..
I was thinking Old Glory also
U.S. !Blues
To be honest man I had a 2 stroke motorized Nel lusso beach cruiser bicycle with a high compression head completely straight pipe with no air filter named Old Glory🤣👍🏻 the bike is literally on a RUclips video of mine
U took the words right out of my mouth
Let's do the easy thing and completely disassemble both motors! Lol
Yeah don't make sense to just check the white one out... But I suppose it's just for views to tear down both of them
Easier than having to order and replace rings
Not me lol
Nice another briggs. Great content guys, loving the diversity in Hondas, Briggs, custom stuff, jet skis, and good ole Honda clones
Gotta love the Honda clones
Time for them to come up with a Kohler... The new Kohlers are expensive honda clones. The old ones were brutes
It's so nice to come home after a crappy day of work and find a new C&Cs video, Helps make my day better, thank you.
😂 That guy is going to steal your identity with those hand prints lol
My thought
Call it "The Freedom Chopper" Great episode guys!
Thanks!
Agree
Easy Rider
Hell yea freedom chopper is a perfect name for it
Or John's name uncle sam
Best custom t-shirt ever, great stuff guys. I always wait impatiently for the next vid
This brings back a lot of memories. I used to do what ya'll do about 50ish years ago. Yeah, getting old. But you two have brought it back to me! At the end of my work camp season in oct. Going to buy myself a fat-tired mini bike and up the pony power with a quickness. Will share what I've done when I can. Keep up the great work/video's.
Wish we had had access to all these cool parts back then. Otasco was my friend.
Now you have the crank out you can get it machined to a standard size. =)
Captain America has my vote! Or put some starts and strips on it and call it easy rider.
I like easyrider, it fits with Peter fonda's bike, and it's anything BUT easy to ride. Lol
As an Australian I can say John, that your Aussie accent is pretty bloody good mate!
you called it already John.." the Blue General."
Love the old mini bike rebuilds👍
Call the mini bike "Ol Glory". Keep up the great work!
These guys add enjoyment to my day lmao , I'm a grease monkey too, the passion, the different ways to jerry-rig things to work, I love small engine projects.. and yes the headaches that come with it haha
Agreed. But I do all that with old computers 😁
Looking forward to the fully restored Trail 90 lap.
Road to 1 mil 😎😎. Love the vids guys keep up the good work!
Really nice to see you accommodating fans and critters alike old school cruiser would be my choice of name
I would definitely buy a t-shirt with (both) of your handprints and signatures! I think you guys might have hit a gold mine there!
Call it captain America and ol' blue for short
Peyton seem really cool! Would love to see him do his own build!
found Peytons alt account
@@gowerski what I have NO idea what you're talking about
You might be his only fan...
I had to use an impact driver multiple times a day working as a motorsports dismantling technician! Snap on was the only one that wouldn't break and the tips are the best as well
Nice running into Issac today at lunch. Enjoy all your builds. You guys have so much fun! Thank you for letting me join in.
This how I know how to fix on bikes in engine bc y’all thanks ❤️🔥
The loud Squall noise is the post in the end of the pull start is dry and needs cleaned and lubed
Those engines were made back in a time when people were expected to do scheduled maintenance, haha. Later 90s Briggs had an improved starter cup with "dogs", but I have no issues with the old style ratchet--they're kind of fun.
Y'all are creeping up on the 1M mark👍
Love how you guys film it like a real tv show now. Y’all will probably be on motor trend soon! Keep it up god bless
Call it Briggs and Saggin
How about "Captain USA" from cannonball run 2? classic
Isn't that captain caos?
Yeah it was
Lol it’s actually Captain Chaos. He’s in both 1 and 2 and the actor is Dom DeLuise.
Actually no. At the end of #2 he was captain USA
You are correct. And so am I. Only at the end does he become Captian USA. So actually both characters are in 2.
Good one guys! Lotsa hidden gems - most already noted below. You should dub thee Bone-Shaker. Isaac when you called court to order and refd your intern as Payphone I lmfao, fell out of my chair, hit the floor, almost broke my darn neck I laughed so hard - I called him Payphone to my wife when you guys first introduced him. Actually I didn't almost break my neck or fall out of my chair, but I REALLY DID snort a mouthful of Stella Artois out of my nose LOL 🤣
This is awesome. I just restored my vintage 1967 Taco 44 Minibike I got as a kid.
It's a shame that sweet rear seat shock assembly was removed, I think you just discovered why it was there! Looks like a fun ride still!
Yeah that was idiotic, and then they proceed to ride it off road with Isaac punishing his spine and rear end on all those bumps.
Would have been better to leave the seat mount and rear seat shocks intact. It was designed to pivot and provide some cushioning.
They're not the smartest guys on U-Tub.
Old Glory!
This ^
Sissy bar and raccoon tail on back for the complete vintage chopper look. Awesome work guys, love the content
Capt. America!! This is my favorite looking one yet, right up there with the one y’all designed.
Was anyone else expecting a crash at the end?
Was not lol
ou there is a crash in the end, just let us first watch the full video, then we can comment about that. :)
i made some tea & Snack But no Crash John -1 Points
Capt’n Crunch 😁👍
Captain America is perfect for this build 👍
Ole' Captain Sam is truly the best name.
This video made my day 100% better
Captain Taiwan 🇹🇼 (also red white and blue), since that Grand Prix was made in Taiwan by Efenel.
Can you make an rotary engine go Cart or mini bike if possible?
They want it to run for more then 2 hours. so probably not.
CalzoneMoto it’s worth a shot if you ask me
I love it! Old frame and Motor with those Killer Rims! OLD BLUE!
I love the F.N.G. , and the hand/ fingerprinting , I think Ike's had a little prior experience . 😂 LoL
Old glory but I also like uncle Sam 😂😂
With the hard tail and the ape hangers and that serious (lol) horsepower how bout calling it a HARDLY A DAVIDSON
I'm glad I'm not the only one who films random animals and names them / makes them talk haha!
I just got done overhauling a Briggs and Stratton just like that one. I've got a little dirt bike that needs an engine 😂👍
good luck and have a good time! Enjoyment is more pleasurable than speed.
Captain America.
Captain merica😂
The Blue Bunny, because shes gonna bounce with that sweet suspension haha!
This is probably one of the best videos I've ever seen
John should use his Australian accent for one whole video
Spirit of America edition with the seat🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Free ride
Guys you are my only link to sanity .since losing my leg 3 years back this show is my last link to all the fun stuff i use to do thanks for keeping the fire lit🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gotta love those old school mini bikes. Grew up on them. Thought they were the greatest.
I have that exact same bike but without the rear suspension and I love that little motor so much that thing rips and I have beat the crap out of it
Lol fred the frog be chillin n vibin
Parts needed - All of them!
That was some sweet foot action shutting that engine down. :)
Holy cow it looks like they finally mounted the bench vise yay
Olde blue guys. As always be safe. Peace.🇺🇸🍻
Great videos.it’s great to see people building mini bikes again.👍
Old blue is the name I would go with
Captain Merica!!
THE DUDE CAN BUILD ANYTHING...YOU CAN SEE THE INTENCENESS IN HIS EYES AND HIS BRAIN WORKING...THE NECKLESS IS EPIC...THAT DUDE IS A MECANIC BEAST...
O'LL BLUE
I like captain America! Cool bike guys
Love your videos guys keep up the great work and stay safe.
Awesome!!
You guys are the best.
These “Frankenstein” builds are awesome! Taking whatever you have laying around the garage and building a running,driving,semi-reliable mini bike is so bad ass. I really hope that y’alls channel inspires younger people to get out there and build something. Get a project that’s cheap,reliable,easy to maintain, and they can learn how to work on these small engines. They can acquire the skills to build rad stuff for cheap and not be forced to beg their parents for money to buy an expensive “toy”. Reminds me of being a kid, I never had the skills to fix my own go karts,but I loved working on BMX bikes. I would get parts from the trash or grab cheap ones from yard sales or flea markets and once I had enough parts, I would build one bad ass bike for myself and then I would trade parts with my friends. Not having a lot of money as a kid kinda forces you to learn how to build stuff,otherwise you had to go without the things that you really wanted.
I'm so happy for you guys finally having a table to work on! I'm too fat and old to work on the floor the way yall do!
So rad!
I'm diggin' Ol' blue for the name.
That was pretty cool
This channel is so fun!!!!
Yall really upped the Anty on this build ;-)
That was an amazing episode
I gotta say this program is very time consuming, I get listening to you guys and watching your videos I have a hard time getting things done. And for that I thank you!!
So this episode has been out for a year I just saw today. On it you're sending a "hand printed" T-shirt to a fan, you mentioned you didn't feel right doing this to new T-shirt. I was thinking you should have put the handprints on the back shoulder of the T-shirt as though you're slapping a friend on the shoulder.. I know he said he wanted to frame it but I would proudly wear it.. I really enjoy your program, keep up the good work.
That bike looks so laid back i love it 😍👍🏻
Today I got to go to go power sports and I was talking to David for about a half hour and he let me see the mini bikes in the warehouse and got to see a couple of the mini bikes you guys worked on, like the hot rod mouse.
Love your guys channel, the videos are getting better and better having the extra hands is paying off great filming and quality is just on the rise, congrats John, came a long way since the start 👏 congrats and thanks to you all for amazing content love it 😀
17:00 be a good idea to change that starter clutch, I've seen those jam and completely destroy the recoil
I think you and I are expecting too much from these guys. They've done several Briggs by now and still don't know the basics.
Another great video guys. This Old Man always looking forward to the next one. 🛵😎💝💝
Love you guys!!!!!
Another go kart build? I just got a 1960 streaker that’s a one seater. I’m planning to fully rebuild it thanks to you guys. 🙏
This is a fun edit. I dig it man!
Hows that cross kart coming?
Cool project 👍
Capt America nice Easy rider reference or ole glory the freedom flyer either way its a cool build you guys always build the coolest machines!!
The toad looked like he had welders flash🤣👌
Love you guys keep up the videos
Another great video!
Hey cars and cameras I’m a big fan and love you vids
Awesome video guys 👍
Not a race bike how did John not lay it down, he was so close to coming off it! Great video guys!
This channel along with this built has really been inspirational I'm currently know trying to predator swap my atv 😂
Putting a Predator on an ATV? Sounds like a downgrade. Haa
@@Hjerte_Verke I would have thought so but considering the old motor is 120 and the new one is gonna be around 212 and built
