That bike brings back memories for me when I was about 10 in 1986 I had one of these to ride up the track next to out house. My dad bought it for scrap money £1 😮 and he had to pay £10 for a rear wheel, but it had a valuable number plate on it my dad sold that for £200 and then got the bike back for me. Unfortunately in the 90s my dad and brother were clearing out a shed cut it up and scraped it 😢 I’m still quite sad that happened. But I have grown a collection of small bikes and mopeds, which I feature on my channel, I have got my eye on a Honda C70 to add to my collection. Thanks Mustie you have inspired me to take my YouTube channel to more like yours I love most of the stuff you work on especially the small bikes 🙂👍
I have an old honda 110 atc motor sitting around that i dont know what to do with.
I’m sure there are others who have commented out of the 447 comments, but I chuckled at the bag…”PLEASE SEND HELP”….most appropriate looking at that pile of pieces and parts!!🤣
If you have this take the studs out of the head and twist it well come off.
Did you ever find parts or do anything more with this one?
I had one of these Hondas years ago. There is no actual hand clutch cable. The clutch is disengaged when you shift the foot/gear lever.
Do you still have one of these? I just got one and im desperately trying to take apart the engine! Do you have to remove the studs inbetween the cylinder and the head? The piston and cylinder are rusty crusty.
First study how a honda engyne work man……..
Ya start working on a puzzle and find out half way thru somebody lost some of the pieces. Ya know ya just get a little !!!!
Honda 50 is a 3-speed 'clutchless' bike! Let go of gas and shift gear, there is no clutch lever.
If I could hold it for I would. One problem, Your ocean is on the wrong side. LoL
My brother had one of these without the white knee skinny skirts maybe it was a 55cc I was too little a couple years later my dad and uncle bought 2 Honda 90’s . I wanna see the rest of this project ! Musti C
Was there ever a follow up to this?
You shift the transmission, but the clutch is an automatic unit thus no lever on clutch side. The Honda 50 way a "Gate Way Drug"
sent from Mr. Honda & the Japanese people to California for $215.00 F.O.B. What did you do with the finished product?
