Trashed Yamaha Three Wheeler - Will It Run? 

the good old 3dmachines videos stile, I really missed them!!!

Just a tinkering in the garage on a, WTF happened to this machine..... loving the content kind of back to the old days type of vid

@8:47 I love the reaction when these old Yamahas just work 😂😂💀 you really can’t kill anything they make.

I need a 3 wheeler dang

This is the Dalton us original viewers know and love

I rolled one of these as a kid doing a half ass jump & jammed the foot peg through my lower calf, 50 stitches later I was good as new

Love the old yamaha 3 wheelers, my dad had a black and gold 225dx. I still have a Tri-Z as well, definitely hyped to see where this project goes!

When I was 8 my stepdad bought me a Yamaha 125. That was in 1980 I miss it. Lots of fun

Old fuel makes slides stick my guy, Screwdriver pry up on the slide gently from the carb opening

Soak that slide with pb blaster. It has additives wd40 doesnt that will break down the oxidation on it

I like these videos...less show boating...more the real you😊👍

One of my first bikes around 8 was a clapped Honda 3 wheeler with no brakes and I got it runing with the spark pug from my weed eater bike and pop starting it Only way to stop was to down shift Good times dumb parents

Good video. This is what got me hooked years ago. You tinkering with the play by play. Keep it up man.

It's awesome to see people restoring these 3 wheelers. I still have my 1984 Kawasaki Tecate 250. Love that beast!

So now, Dalton is a part-time youtuber and a full-time mechanic ??

Please, upload more, i miss the videos badly

Had a slide stuck in a carb last year. Used brake cleaner, and it slid out after about 10 minutes of sitting. tried WD40 first, with the same results. Cleaned it all up with carb cleaner, and still runs great today.

I remember going with my dad buying a brand new Trimoto 225 at the Yamaha dealership just like this one ! We loaded it in the trailer behind my dads old honda civic, we went to the woods near rapid lakes, my dad started the three wheeler my sister hopped infront I was in the back. We where rolling for about 10 minutes my dad did a quick turn and the ATC tipped and we all fell to the ground. I had a broken jaw my sister a broken leg and my dad had a few scrapes and burns... It was the end of the three wheeler my dad sold it and never ever bought trikes or quads again ! He felt so bad for all these years.

These things are a beast i had one and it never let me down

Dalton is turning into a Mustie1 👍👍👍

The wheels are offset see if they can be switched from side to side it's a good machine I had a 83 lots of fun to ride only problem I had was the ujoint

Those were great machines, better than the similar sized hondas of those days. My buddy growing up had an identical one except his really was trashed. That thing you have is near mint! Anyways it ran forever took beating after beating untill the frame wore out where the swingarm bearings would normally go, he rode it without any to speak of for years and destroyed the bearing housings on it.

Easy pulling on that carburetor soak the thing in carburetor cleaner spray in the slides will release you pulling a hard enough and you'll break your cables or worse and everything is stuck because it's been sitting probably 10 plus years or 5 plus with ethanol fuel

After not really watching many of your videos for the past couple years(subcribed since 2016 tho) i enjoyed this one alot. Its wild how fast time goes by, like the content and the more matured you. Thanks dude

I’ve rode a 3-wheeler all my life it’s one of the few things i know how to work on almost perfectly

Love the video's 3Dmachines keep up the good work 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

My dad used one back when he was a lifeguard in his prime time!😂 hes 73 now and doesnt look 73 at all! No grey hair yet still waiting on that😂 love your videos keep em up! My edit: they quickly started hating them! For obvious reasons. For them tipping over so easily. Three wheelers kinda ruined atving for my dad which is sad!😥

What happened to this channel?

hey dude, long time no watch, haven't since prince died, i still miss him.

The best three wheeler ever made was the Honda big red.

My brother and I had this 3-wheeler when we were kids. If memory serves me right the OEM tires were not as wide as the ones on your machine. Ours seems to have more clearance on the battery box. I have great stories and memories from our adventures on the 225 DX.

Back to your roots. Good Job Dalton.

Hard to believe but I've had really good luck using Pine Sol for cleaning carburetors just let it soak and it'll eat every bit of it really cleans aluminum also and it's cheap and will not hurt your gaskets at all

You never bonded the wires. Shrink sleeves are just for protection. It will corrode. Love the content! Keep it up!

Hell yeah some good old 3d machines content just like in the old days!!

gas turned to varnish then hardened up solid

Use spray bud not a screwdriver to pry the needle to unfree the throttle. Great channel bud.

Best video of yours I’ve watched in a long time. Really enjoyed this one.

That's why when I do a deal I always have the seller count up the cash. No bullshit "oh you were $20 short" shenanigans.

Love the return to old days videos

lever that siezed slide out with a big screwdriver. It would pop right out. one it a thousand times & you got nothing to lose, The fuel turns ransid and becomes like superglue.

I got my beanie and hoodie a few weeks ago and I’d just like to say top notch Dalton keep up the good work

Good idea ordering a carb, but to get that thing freed up you need to get the good carb cleaner that's sold in a gallon paint can. That old gas basically turned into schlack and the cleaner will eat it up.

Love watching his videos just wish he uploaded more then he does like he use to but I understand he's a busy guy

Back to the old ways!! Keep it up man!!

Haven't messed With many carbs like this..the throttle is seized from rust,etc gotta pry it up through the hole you were prying from but don't scar it up

Love that you have posted! Been waiting for long! Always loved youre vids! Have seen all i think since you mande the racing mower

Wow I wish I could find one for that price. I found a 200 YTM in a scrapyard but the engine is seized and the axle assembly was shattered. I just bought an axle assembly for $50 so I have $100 in this awesome three wheeler and I have Marvel mystery oil in the cylinder...

Awesome video(s) ..Hoping to do a restore on a 3 wheeler some day like this ! & yeah haha PB Blaster is way better that wd40 XD

One of the most garnished carbs I've seen, good thing it comes right off with carb clean water corrosion in carbs is a whole different story lol, awesome bike super fun project bike that's still in amazing shape love yours vids keep these ones up haha

I didn't finish the video yet so maybe you get it, but that lever you were playing with on the head is the decompression lever.

for the carburetor try hot water to un-seize it, had the same issue and that worked a charm for me

I recently bought a 20 horse Honda GX620 v-twin engine that had been sitting unused for several years and when I checked the oil it was very black molasses-like and reeked heavily of old varnish (exactly what old fuel does), the shit made me choke. After draining out the oil I pulled the crank case side cover off and lots of thick molasses sludge left behind. I used a full can of brake cleaner alone in hosing out the case, side cover and its oil galleries and also I pulled the oil pump out and gave it a good cleaning. NO way was that engine getting started up with that molasses.

Great find Dalton.. Three Wheeler's are awesome..

Things were definitely made a lot better back then I’m still running a 200es big red

U are the best youtuber ever i love your videos and your channel

PB blast it and try prying the slide with a flat head screwdriver. Its worked for me before on my 1981 honda 180 semiauto pull start

Next time your having issues that bad with varnish and stuff being jammed domt be afraid to place stuff up with carb clean it will break it free the quickest

Trashed? Looks mint hasnt been ridin since the 80's

Varnished carb.. paint thinner will maybe work if you soak it long enough. As soon as ya pull it out of the thinner pull the slide n choke out.. maybe.. if you still decide to keep that carb. Then wipe all that out. Paint thinner kinda melts that stuff away. Like tar after you soak it.

Hey 3DM!! A PZ27 or PZ30 clone carb will go on if U make the holes on the carb a little wider,

The stuff my uncle did on those Yamaha three wheelers

"the sidewall's shot but still got pretty good tread" LOL....Trailpro's tread is made out of the hardest rubber known to Man. Those probably have 35K miles on them with another 100K left 😂

DALTON-Put the carb, throttle cable, and all in the ultrasonic cleaner... Put the damn handle bars in too if ya have to. Hahahaaa

Should have soaked the carb in your ultrasonic cleaner with the cables still installed into the carburetor. It'll free up the gunk holding up the slides.

Carb cleaner works good on that old hard varnish but will destroy rubber seals and plastic parts. If you could soak it (submerged) in kerosene or mineral spirits a few days that might free everything up.

Luv the vid man......I got 2 of these trimoto's....1 is identical 84 yellow DX, other is a 85 black/red/gold DR w/ reverse. (would sell to the right person)

They didnt have reverse until 1985 and they were the 225dr, and DO NOT paint that headlight bezel yellow, the blue ones are hard to find, sell the blue and buy a yellow, also the tank shrouds are off a ytm 200, the decals are different

Take the throttle cable off at the handle bars, then ultrasonic!! 👍🏻🖐️🙂🇨🇦

Love their videos. Great to watch. Hilarious comedy. Camere girl adds good content. Love the work they do..

Reminds me of my blue 200cc I had, but no rear shock was rough!!!

Those Carlisle trail pros are the best tires for snow I ran mine at 3 psi

great project to watch

Don’t forget to order the cables !!!!!! O and the coil o and well just buy everything your going to need it ,good vid tho !

Hey turn your CC's on for your viewers who might not be able to hear as well as everyone else please, thanks!

Great Content Dalton! Thanks!

Wheelie monster! love mine

I tell you what after I seen this video The same day you posted this video I got a 1985 Tri motor

Did you say you welded the cast iron bracket at the beginning? How did you keep it from cracking and how long did the weld hold? Welding cast can be done but it's tricky. I pack it in sand immediately after welding to slow down the cooling process

The privous owner taighten the carb to hard so the carb has been oval and is destroyd:( I did that to on my Honda mt50:( The only thing to do is a new carb:( Btw Loooooooovee your videos man keep up the good work, you make my days everytime you load up something. Lots off love from Sweden💪🏻

Thank u Dalton I was entertained

Whats up Dalton!

Spray it with carb cleaner it should break up the varnish cool project bud

Bring back three wheelers

225 ytm is a fun wheeler... if the clutch in it is half decent u would probably like it;)

Also put the carb in a sandblaster

I watched u so long ago just started watching you again and it’s just not the same you don’t seem as happy

My question--where did you ever find one? Rare find

The tweaker who owned that 3-wheeler showed it no mercy.

great video

7:37 that front tire looks sooooo fatt!

love hes work

i just bought a honda 3 wheeler motor and i'm trying to stick it on a gokart frame. coincidence

Cant beat the old honda big reds, they run forever

Stuck carbs is a yamaha thing, my choke got stuck on my ttr from a few years ago. I think its a bad quality aluminum corroding to steel parts from the choke and the slide needle. I have also seen that in a lot of tecumseh stuff, just poor quality materials id say.

i used to have a 1984 Yamaha 200cc ATV, I always cracked up at the seat....SHAFT!!!!!!

I’ve been looking for one of those for the longest time and still can’t find one

Slide is just stuck from corrosion, put a little heat on it. Will come right out

I traded it for a scooter And I have wonderful spark but my carburetor is the same exact way I even had trouble taking the carburetor apart the same way
