Will it Run? Barn find Moped. 

Thanks 3-IN-ONE you have backed a winner with this guy. Thanks for another great video

I could'nt believe my eyes when i saw some Batavus mopeds. The factory is just a couple of miles from my hometown and i never knew they exported this stuff to the States. Batavus is one of things that we, as Frisians, are really proud of, together with the Frisian horses, for instance. Those mopeds are very popular these days, there is a revival of classic mopeds going on in the Netherlands. Friesland is a provence of the Netherlands, as you might know. But we still have our own language and culture and Batavus is a part of our heritage, just as Harley and Indian is to the USA. All your footage is very interesting, btw.

This is the most tasteful and well-received (by me) advertisement or paid promotion in any video I have ever seen. I already love and use the product, but I will use the product going forward with the understanding that Mustie1 has endorsed the label and trusts the company to sponsor content for us to watch. Bravo, man!

'its a hair to big...but not big enough to make me walk over and grab the right one....." love it. go mustie

When my dad passed away two years ago, one of the things I was sure to get from his workbench was the same tin of 3-In-One oil that I had used as a kid on my bike. The smell was a flashback to my childhood. Great sponsor for your wrenching. Thanks for the great videos Mustie1!

How many other people love the smell of 3 in 1 oil????? To me the first thing I think of when I smell three-in-one oil is projects and spending time with my dad!

Gotta Say,.. have been on your channel about a week now. Can't quit wathchin! When I was a kid my folks bought me a moped, and I ran it all over our small town for a couple of years. This was nostalgic, for sure. At first I didn't know what to think about the white-knuckle ride past all the backed-up cars, but soon I was laughing my a@% off. Thanks for taking us along!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the restoration. Great work, as always!!

A friend just gave me a 1978 Motobecane Mobylette that has been sitting in a shed for quite a few years. I plan on using this video to help me get it running again. Thanks for posting Mustie1!!!

My mother always had a can of 3 in 1 in her old treadle singer sewing machine, great product and great smell.

first time I was happy someone was doing a product placement ad, CONGRATS and Thanks 3 in 1, you backed a great guy

Clinton-brand mopeds are rebadged Sachs mopeds from Clinton Engines Co. There was only a single model made, the 50-A. It used a Sachs 505 engine and was only made from 1978 to 1980. The Clinton 50-A had turn signals and the magneto system was augmented by an extra battery to keep all the lights bright. It had a detachable gas tank (nice for cleaning and rust treating) The tank held 1.1 gallon. Fuel was premix, weight of the bike was 119 lbs.

I so appreciate Mustie's videos. It's like going to small engine school. The 3-In-One plug is sure alright with me. I've been using it for 60 years. It may be old school but it hasn't changed and does the job.

Stopping the video at 3 minutes to say that 3 in 1 oil is a terrific product and a really great sponsor for this channel. Good job all around!

Taking the carb apart is always my favorite part. Great little bike!

German Sachs 500-505 series - one of the best moped engines ever! Some mopeds had a separate belt or chain drive with the pedals, but the 505 Sachs, had it all built in to the gearbox. I purchased a 'demo' 'Wards Imperial' moped with this engine, from Montgomery Wards in 1980, for $400, after they marked it down from the original retail of $750. It's the only new motor vehicle I ever bought! My gas- tank is built in to the frame like your Puch. At the time, their catalog listed another model with a tube-frame and separate gas-tank, similar to yours. Mine was built in the US by Columbia - the bicycle company, which they also sold as the 'Columbia Commuter'. In my state, these were restricted to 20 mph, but mine could barely top 15 until I removed the restrictor-plate from the carb. Then it would do 20 easy, or even a bit more. So I guess that made it the 25 mph version. 30 mph models used a smaller rear sprocket. Mine's suffered from being stolen and recovered from neighborhood delinquents in the '90s, then being stored in a leaky shed for awhile. But I fixed it up and got it running again a few years ago. Shutting off the gas and running the the engine to burn off the remaining gas for storage has saved the carb. 5 years ago, I also bought and revived a 1977 Euro Sachs moped. It has the 504 engine, with a separate chain-drive for the pedals, Km speedometer, and a strange headlight pod with a 'half' headlight across the top, and the horn behind a grill across the bottom. in the '70s, many states changed their motor vehicle regulations to allow these without titles, registration or tags. But then they relaxed the speed restrictions and many states now require registration and tags again.

Holy crap that was a lot of traffic on your road. Had me worried a little on the way back - I think I swerved a couple times for you in my chair!

I have used 3 in one forever, i think your crazier than I am riding past all those vehicles on the side of the road

Mustie good product placement! 3 in 1 oil is good stuff! On your little ride it looked like a few people did not like that you were passing them on the right. A few people put their tires on the white line.

Loving the handlebar tassels Mustie. Easy rider out on your hog, the open road, the wind in your hair and a jacket that says, "if you can read this, my girl must of fallen off" on the back... MUSTIE MC FOR LIFE BRO!!! ✊✊✊✊

Mopeds Were A East Coast Thing You Never See Them Out West ------- Brings Back Memories Of a Happy Time 4 Me Thanks Mustie

Another great video brother, glad you mentioned the smell of the 3n1, smells like victory. Used it in my model trains and slot cars when I was a kid, still use it for many products today.

Mustie1, the smell of 3 in 1, gasoline, and Johnson’s paste wax are just a few that I like and bring back memories of pre teen years frankensteining my own bikes from parts in the junk yard or along side the road in the late 50’ early 60’s of Schwinn! Gasoline to clean them up, 3in1 to lube them (or take apart) and paste wax to make them look pretty and fly through the air - haha. Very good purchase and clean up/tune up! Should make for a nice little around town putter! You might take the beaver out to the regatta turn and capsize some sailors as they look at the beaver in awe - haha.

That was one exciting ride! Watch out for the wheelie bin!

As a little guy ( 5 years old ) my Dad gave me a used, rusted peddle car, a pliers and a can of 3in1 oil. He said if I wanted to ride I had to fix it. We were poor but I didn't know it. He taught me a great life lesson with that little car.

Love the 3 in one! Its been my go to multipurpose oil my whole life! Good for you getting them as a sponsor! What ever helps you keep making these great videos is a good thing!

Everybody should own a moped at least once in their life. Simple things are good.

3in1 is a very fitting sponsor. Plus it works well so you don’t have to lie about how good their products are.

I must admit seeing how effective 3-1 seems to be after watching it been used in the last couple videos it does make me want to buy a bottle for a try. Advertising works

Yep you can't beat a drop of 3-In-One, i grew up with it too :-D That machine is so similar to the Puch Maxi moped, it used red A.t.f transmission fluid for the clutch/gearbox too. That bike steams along very nicely :-D.

Happy to see Mustie getting sponsors...got my 3-1 already..always have..goooo Mustie

Very good. I will now bring out my 1972 yamaha 175 for the grands. I bought it new and it has been stored for over 30 yrs.

Musty a lot of people don't understand about adding Stay-Bil to a fuel system if a motor is going tgo sit for any length of time. I use the stuff in all of my combustion motors,from m/c's to lawn tracktors and snow blowers. I have a '92 Lincoln Mark Vii Bill blasé edition that I have had for 20+ years. If I'm lucky the car is driven 500 miles a year,it currently has 61K on the clock and I picked it up with 42k.There are times the car sits for a season or two but I put stay-bil and the next time I fire it up it starts right up. Even when I store my VRod for the cold winters here in New England I've never had a problem starting. To me its an awesome investment

I love how smells bring back memories :). What a neat little moped! You cruising down the cul de sac made me giggle 😂

Nice! Was looking forward to this hour long experience :)

Thumbs up for 3-1 Oil. I know it has been along for fix-it jobs in my family for at least 3 generations. Always enjoy your videos and have learned a great deal from your experience.

It is good to have a venerable sponsor like 3 in 1 oil They have been around as long as I can remember, and I remember even before you do.

Good to see you have a sponsor ,Mustie ! You deserve it . I know it's not easy making great content for us .

Nice exciting ride ! works well!

I use 3 in 1 oil more often than any other oil or penetrating fluid. It's great stuff. Glad that they're sponsoring Mustie. This is a really great channel.

Love the smell of 3-in-1 in the morning. It smells of freedom (of movement) and reminds me of my youth! Keep wrench'n in the garage!

Dang Mustie gone all sold out like metallica on us. Can't think of a better sponsor for a better guy than Mustie, I hope they're throwing bags of money your way!

Looks like you found yourself a nice little machine. I bet the guy on the Harley went WTF???? when he saw you scooting along.

Thumbs up for a great video, looks like a quality moped for sure. Also big thumbs up to 3-in-1 oil for helping to keep your videos coming. It's a great product.

Thanks for inspiring me a little, I'm grateful for your time. I have three projects out in the garage and just finished another bicycle this month.

Use to use 3 in one oil for lubing up the squirrel cage on the swamp coolers when I was getting them ready for winter and summer. I agree it's great stuff

Ancient tires traffic on the left trees on the right if thats not bad enough he starts driving in ruts holy crap Mustie!

Middle-aged guy riding a baby blue Moped with HANDLEBAR STREAMERS through town. They definitely think you're weird now Mustie. The "DORCY" battery was fun too!

Anything you can't fix? Your awesome, keep the videos coming.

pretty clean moped!

Moped looks a lot like a Hercules that were really popular in Germany were I grew up .Same style and same Sachs motor. Except the Hercules had a 3 speed gearbox that was changeable with a different right hand throttle set up and a left hand clutch . The light blue is as wrong as the Manufacturer (Clinton ????) on the Tank. I never had the more desirable Hercules , but ended up with the Push you fixed up in an earlier Video . These Mopeds were restricted to 25km/h but we always able to make them go at least twice that speed . Cheers from Australia

3-in-1 is one of the best! You had my butt draw a vacuum on the couch cushion watching that ride! Dang! I would have never trusted other drivers like that! Lol! Keep the vids coming!

Thanks for sharing time with us Mustie1 , always fun getting edumacated on the finer points of, wonder why she won't run , and fine tuning.

"Hubr" stands for "Hubraum" or "Hubvolumen". It's German for engine displacement. Had a couple of those in maintenance when i was working as a mechanic in a bikeshop. Nice bikes, real workhorses and not too expensive (i believe they were sold as either Sachs, Hercules or Sparta, can't remember, it was long ago). I'm surprised to see a couple of Batavus mopeds in your graveyard, one of them is a HS50. They're rare and pricey here in the Netherlands.

Must have been Bills chopper to get the chicks in the seventies. Love the Tassels !

I remember the very first can of 3N1 fluid I ever seen was on Momma's sewing machine table. Little can about an inch and a half tall. When it got empty she use to have Dad refill it from his "Big Can" as she put it. That was 57 years ago, and 3N1 is still a great product I use all the time. Great Vid Mustie1. Keep'em coming & God Bless Brother!!!

Congrats Mustie on 3in1 Oil sponsorship , good to see a high quality product, (3in1) recognize the potential benefit of an association with another high quality product, (Mustie 1 videos).

When you took off the gas cap and said "smell it?" I sniffed! LOL

Nice low key ads mustie. I can live with that.

I have been using 3 in 1 since i was a kid myself and i'm 59 now, and i have a bottle sitting on the shelf in my garage right now that i use all the time and it is a great product.Thanks for another great video Mustie.

Not sure if I'd mentioned this before, but 3-in-one eats rust. I used it on a brake line union as it was rusted into a "T" and would not come off. I let the 3-in-one soak over lunch for about an hour and a half. Came back out and the rust came off the line like wet sand, and union came out of the "T" fine, but still required a back-up wrench and some force. I now use it when doing brakes to prevent the line from twisting behind the union. And when dealing with nut-on-bolt combo, I'll soak it behind the nut. I've come to realize that the only thing that really helps metal siezed into metal is to heat the outside metal then remove the inner metal.

Getting dem sponsors now. 💪💪💪

It is always a good omen upon starting an engine when you have to use the kill switch to stop it. Good vid.

3 in one was always used in our home. They must have given you a couple of cases the way your pouring it on. Love your videos, I learn a lot.

3 in 1 oil has been a part of almost every project that has needed oil since I was a little kid in the 50s. My dad always kept a couple cans around and I have continued the habit.

You're a daredevil, Musti! Your camera lens makes everything look so close, when you were passing the cars on the right - I cringed when you went between the car and trash can.

I’d happily take that to work every day! That ride was terrifying though, I expected you to come off :p

I’m 13 and personally an amateur small enginewrencher myself and find in my opinion there is nothing better than the smell of 3 in 1 and gas in the morning

Hi Mustie. I am a believer in Three and one oil. My Dad let me use it to oil a music box for my Sister,back in the early 60's . i keep at least three bottles in my shop. Great job on the repairs. Bobby

You feel this vehicle is safe for highway travel? Yes, I do. It's not pretty, but it will get you where you want to go. You got no outside mirror. It's lost. You have no functioning gauges. No, not a one. However, the radio still works. Funny as that may seem, the radio's the only thing that's really working good. Don't ask me how.

"I DID NOT HAVE RELATIONS WITH THAT MOPED"

Mustie, you should have seen me leaning left when I saw that mailbox door open. You are a wildman !

That was my childhood too. 3 in 1 oil used for everything. bike, fishing reels. I had an old puch moped so this one brings back some memories.

Literally laughing out loud during your test ride.

Ahhh,the smell of 3-in-0ne oil when I was a kid filling up my Sturmey Archer rear geared hub on mu Raleigh Chopper. Great memories.

Love 3 in 1!!!! I loved the noise of the metal can with the pullup top use to make when you would squeeze it. Back in the day. Mustie you are nuts driving that moped next to those cars going back......you gave a couple heart attacks to some of those drivers...Zoinks!!!!

Love the way you overtook all that traffic

Watch out for the open mail box Mustie!

If you want a close match for the rear turn signals, they are almost identical to early to mid 70's Honda CB signals.

Three in one oil brings back memories especially the noise the old metal cans made great product

Back in the mid 70s a friend and I had been given a Puch moped. Having a lot of 2 stroke between us we started to tweak and twist on it to go faster. I took it out one day after putting a bigger carb and an expansion chamber on the exhaust. Man that thing would fly! Buried the Speedo at 45 and just kept pulling. I turned around and came back and show off a bit and fly past his place. I flew by and being less than a block I got on the brakes. I managed to slow down to about 30 when the brakes faded away. Less than 25 yards from a very busy US route 41 that was usually bumper. I clenched my teeth and blew through the intersection. I got slowed down, turned around and waited about 5 minutes to cross back across US 41. I took my still shaking butt and moped back to my friends house. I never rode the thing again. I was one cool cat back then, I figured I used up at least 7 of my 9.lives...

I use 3 in 1 as cologne I love the stuff, unless I am going to a guns show then I use Hoppes #9 as cologne.

memories of that good 3 in 1 smell.....they should make perfume for men. !!!

Been using 3 in 1 for over 50 years; great stuff.

Nice to see that 3-in-One oil sponsorship is back! I bought some of the 3-in-One Fast Acting Penetrant based on their sponsorship of you last time. Have yet to try it, but will soon!

Clinton-brand mopeds are rebadged Sachs mopeds from Clinton Engines Co. There was only a single model made, the 50-A. It used a Sachs 505 engine and was only made from 1978 to 1980.

When Mustie took the Clinton out on the road I thought I was on board with a TT rider.

This is like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood does Garage Repair - I'm a Fan - I like how he talks to the Camera like I'm in the Garage helping along or getting in the way.:)

God bless you for knowing the difference between a moped and a scooter. Sweet find.

French Toast, Coffee and Mustie. What could be better in the morning ?

I did not have "sachs" with that woman !!

yep 3 in 1 always takes you back to the good old days it always and still has its own distinct smell that slight oily and detergent smell....happy days

Believe it or not I used to have one back in 1980s they were great to move around your neighborhood I'm glad you got that one going God bless be safe

You got her screaming like a F1 car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like an air raid siren :)

Loved the sailboat racing view at the end!

I like the motorcycle projects mustie1 does. I hope he does even more because I really enjoy watching them.

That's a ton of traffic!!!!

Their slogan was "you meet the nicest interns on a Clinton"

Man that’s a pretty blue paint job, cool lookin moped. Congrats on the sponsor!

I always loved working on mopeds. If you have compression and spark all you have to do is clean the carb and make sure fuel tank flows. It will run
