I like to know a little about everything and a lot about some things. From mini bikes and three wheelers to woodworking and beyond, I strive for every kind of DIY. If it can be DIY I am probably going to try it... or already have.
(Fyi: My different builds are organized into playlists)

Considering so many people are said to be struggling these days due to financial issues I would have thought the Tomos would have been a great bike to be sold today, but there are no pedal start mopeds on the market any more they are all battery powered but these Tomos bikes used to get you lots of miles between fill ups unlike the battery comparisons. They should start making these bikes again.
Man I need to fix mine I had mine stored at a friends house it got rained on numerous times now the throttle doesn’t spin back, rotor in front disc brake rusted/rubs, pedal on one side is bent (think it tipped because the turn signals are broken too) and who knows what else. I’m gonna try and fix it up so I can ride it this spring/summer
Whomever told you not to run synthetic is dead wrong. It’s the best for air cooled bikes. That rumor has been around since the invention of synthetic oil. It handles higher temps better than conventional. One easy way to tell is by asking them why not. They’ll say that’s just what they were told lol. Been running full synthetic in all my bikes for 20 years. I am curious though if the bar and chain oil had a negative effect, being so much thicker than the recommended oil.
I’m building a 224cc billit everything upgrade cam pipe and it’s going on a motorized bicycle I already have built 212cc doing 70+ on motorized bicycles. Using pit bike brakes to stop
My 224 had no governor or oil sensor to bother with hehe 🤣. Good video though and I just like pickin on people. The Ducar was a better idea for me and I didn't mind waiting. Predators are great, I have a 212 hemi on one of my bikes that just keeps going and taking a beating. Most anyone has a HF near them, I have never been one to seriously rag on people over a brand name if it is working for them.
Where did you get your aftermarket upgrades for your engine I also have an old blue 6.5 hp grey hound and am wondering if the new predator 212 performance upgrades would fit on a motor like mine
Hey man, I got a straight pipe my self on my mini bike but my neighbors don’t really like it and I noticed that you have a something in the tip of the exhaust. I was wondering if it makes it quieter. And if it does could you please tell me what it is. Thank you
Hello, my name is Leo and I also like to work on small engines like the predators and the Hondas. I was wondering if you might be able to give me some tips In maybe getting a steady income from small engine builds. Anything helps. Thanks👍
Hallo, ik kom uit Duitsland en heb ook een tomos. Hij heeft momenteel een 65cc-opstelling met een 15 mm carburateur. Als hij op toeren komt, sputtert hij met hoge snelheden en gaat hij niet sneller dan 50 km/u. Zou dit misschien aan de ontsteking van de pick-up kunnen liggen? (het is een luxe uit 2013)
