It wouldn’t be a Sunday afternoon without watching Mustie make something work again

When you miss leg day at the gym ...." take 274 " , kick 11,597 and yes , M1 stands triumphant over his tea kettle on wheels ! You had to work for this one , nice work , you should be walking again in a few days lol.

I am an engineer and watching you troubleshoot your problems helps me find new perspectives when I am working. Totally different issues but your mindset can be applied to many applications. Thanks!

I can't ever thanks enough you sir, just about 3 weeks watching your videos, I had fixed all my 3 walking lawnmowers, 1 Muray tractor, 1chainsaw and 2 trimmers. Now I just have 1 more kid bike rider to do. Thanks abunch pro Mustie1. And I love your kindness and joyful laugh!!!

I love the Evil Scientist laugh when it starts.

Over 50 exam...... I love your humor you inject into your video's Mustie1.... makes my day

Man I love these long episodes of just tinkering with stuff I love it!

Ahhh the old LT230s and LT80. I worked for one of the countries largest Suzuki dealers before the internet era. We had 22 phone lines and we sold parts and accessories over the phone (nationwide by ads in the back of dirt bike and atv magazines) by looking them up on hand micro fische parts breakdowns. I still have part numbers committed to memory for some common things...lol... left crankcase covers (axle and swing arm bearings start to go...chain flies off breaks the sprocket guard off), stators, gaskets, reverse lever and shifter seals.... you gave me flashbacks... hahah Best way to start these is stand on it like you are riding it, fold the right peg up and kick straight down.

The only people I will watch hour long videos from are mustie1 and Andrew camarata.

Hey Guys, and how's it goin? Right on the dot! I sure do appreciate your lack of the "overproduced opening" some creators offer!

watching you shoot marvel mystery oil across the shop from a spark plug hole will never get old

Your perseverance is legendary. I'm always amazed at your ability to fix what seem like hopeless cases. And your dog is adorable!

I love a snowy morning in Upstate NY, Mustie a cup of coffee and a "will it run" episode. Thank you!

Who needs Peloton when you have an old kick start Suzuki? My favorite part of these videos is the Mustie laugh when an engine first fires up. Had to wait a long time to hear that this time. Second favorite part is playing with Lilly. Thanks for my new Sunday morning routine, Mustie...

Cool! Those winner laughs are always absolutely priceless. Fortunately they are not rare because usually Mustie1 brings everything back to live. Can't wait to watch him having even more fun driving than starting it. I simply love Lilly.

Great video because of the challenge and adventure in getting that thing going again. I was really looking forward to it since you picked it up. Thanks and I hope to see more of it!

Dang, him playing with his dog at 1:02:50 is so wholesome

Looks like Lilly the old girl still has some play in her. We will all miss her when she's gone but for now we get to enjoy watching you play with her.

Grate job you do I like watching you get old stuff back to life again

Impressed with your perseverance in trying to get the 4 wheeler going, way to go!

As I lurked outside the castle, from within I heard an engine come to life. Intermixed with the cacophony of gears and valves and spark induced explosions, I could just barely hear the mad chuckle of Dr. Mustie. Once again, a long dead creature had been brought back to life.

Mustie time. Enjoying with a nice cup of tea here in England 😀👍

your breath of knowledge is impressive, it is fun and educational to watch you work!

Every kick I was there with you, I feel your hard work, the anticipation of the ignition keeps you going!

Where I live, people would be asking 800 a piece for those atv’s

It's nice to see an old dog up and playing ! Oh and nice seeing lily play too ! Lol

My 230 was a two kick every time.. loved that thing should have never sold it.. Awesome video keep'em coming..

74, that makes us the same age. Class of ‘63? Now I know why I like to watch your videos. We both enjoy working on the same type of junk.

I used to have the same quad as a kid. I was given it in a bunch of boxes and had to put it together by myself at 14 years old. That quad is why I'm so good at fixing things as an adult. I would love to own another one but here in MA there's no place to use them, it's even illegal here to ride in your own yard...

This video made me smile twice. Once when it started and more so watching, Lilli play with that bottle. My black lab loves those things too.

Love that canine helper - Lily is so sweet! Great work Darren - as always. Thanks for having me over. Chuck in NE Kansas

I've learned to wear my safety glasses when I watch your videos! lol I enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you!

Mustie must get up early. And once again he amazes us with his talents. Lilly is a good girl.

Also... That carb does NOT have a "choke". Instead it uses an 'enrichener' circuit. An enrichiner will ONLY work when the throttle is at idle position..... If you open the throttle-slide the vacuum is lost to the enrichener circuit hence reducing the additional fuel flow. (disabling the enrichener)

I'm having just as much fun watching this rebuild as Mustie1 is having rebuilding it! This is great!

Thank you for all the effort you put in every video you upload dude, you inspire me to diy my own small engines...if I ever get any again, thanks dude

I live in NH and have been looking for a basket case Quadsport 230 forever. You go out and find one in the trash, SMH. Another great video.

just started watching but i think at least one of them will work.. those old suzukis are pretty bullet proof. However, the young child who knows not of engine oil and usually rides said quad is often the suzukis only natural predetaor

It's almost silly how exited I am watching these. Not even scrolling down to the comments in order to avoid spoilers.

one of my favorite people on youtube.... a must watch .... how he doesn't have millions of followers .... I don't know .... keep it up sir ... you educate and entertain

You're right, you need one of us along when you go picking in those unlimited trash runs to help you get the things in the truck, and help get them out too. But you Really need your 16 yr. old self to come back and kick them over!(I do too, many times have said "getting to old for this") but man when they 1st start! It makes it all worth it. I do it a bit different, 1st take off the air cleaner assembly so I'm not dragging in half decicated mouse bodies and usually look into the intake, look into the combustion chamber, then the valves. Use a shot of PB Blaster, then some light sewing machine oil in the jug. Get them freed up, then check for spark etc.. All adds up to the same thing though, and glad to see it come back, those were good motors, especially if you find them quit on someone before they beat the crap out of them.

Ya gotta wonder what goes thru a dogs head when they are watching humans ." Mustie note to self " Only pick up junk ATVs with electric start.

i like that you work and talk to viewer so we understand what you are doing that means a lot

I've not long started following Mustie 1, great video's, I know this is an older video but when we were on the farms and playing around with old seized engines we put diesel down plug holes, that seemed to work really well. That worked with both diesel and petrol ( gas) engines.

That feelling when you manage to revive an rusty old engine,picked up from trash....PRICELESS!!!😍

Glad you picked those up, I hate seeing stuff like that thrown out.

I loved watching the dog watching you when you were trying to start the suzuki That was priceless.

Great video, love how excited you still get when "it runs"!! 😂

Me: “I can’t see a damn thing.” Mustie: “You’re not going to be able to see a damn thing.” Well there it is. Lol

Laughed with you when we heard the first sign of Life! Knew it was coming!

As usual one man's trash is another man's treasure. Great to keep another machine out of the landfill.

I love your giggles once the engine freed up.

I like the way you said WE had difficulty loading into the back of the truck I don't remember seeing anybody else there to help,

My knees are killing me watching you kick it over so many times. I wouldn't be able to walk tommorrow if i did that.

I have been waiting for this vid for awhile and I'm so happy I get to see it. Love your vids man. Keep up the great videos!!!😊👍

Yippee! Man, I hope your back is ok after dragging that thing up on the lift. You're the Man!

For an old man, you are a beast hahaha. I already start feeling aching pain right off the bat when you pull the atv onto the stand. Let alone from the recap video when you are loading them onto the truck. And I'm 27.......sad Haha.

Man I like it you get stuff running that's been sitting for years.good job.

I had a Suzuki LT230 Quad sport like that when I was a kid it was a fun machine the only issue I ever had with it was the rear axle bushings ware out and the chain pops off the sprocket destroying the cover right in front of the drive sprocket and I've learned that JB weld works real good to fix the busted cast aluminum cover

Great motivation video you stuck through it till the end until that thing started running I was just as happy as you were. The anticipation at the end was great and for free you can't beat that

I've been waiting for the quads

Finaly someone thincks marvel smells good like pepermint thought i was the only one

Yay, Lily! I love it when she visits. If there is a Lily Fan Club, then I want to join!!

That was... GLORIOUS! And your fur baby was by your side!

lol - when it's in fast motion Lilly still moves slow : ) Gawd bless her.

30:17 I had to rewind that just to see it spit oil out again bahahaha

What you have there is a Suzuki LT230 Quad Sport. Possibly around a 1986 or earlier model. The manual version was the Quad Sport and the automatic was the Quad Runner which usually had an electric starter as well. There was also a 2 stroke version the Quad Racer. As long as you don't get the timing 180 degrees off you shouldn't have to much trouble getting it running providing the electrical system is ok. The one I had was identical to the one your working with and was an '86 model. It was near bullet proof mechanically and was reliable as can be. Seeing yours has brought back a lot of memories and if I could find another one I would snag it in an instant.

we had a 230. that was a GREAT bike! it revved quick like a 2 stroke! its no 400ex .... but it was NO slouch in the woods!

I could feel my back going out watching the first part of the video.

I'm waiting for that Milwaukee drill to release its magic smoke!

You keep workin' on kick starts, you might wanna get the dog trained up as a medical service dog with a defibrillator pack on her back. Great video mustie! I love watchin' you work!

Here’s me tilting my iPad to get a better look in the oil fill. 🤣🤣

That was exhausting to watch all that kick-starting, I need a rest now. Great job that four-wheeler will run again.

We're about the same age, and I was tired just watching you do all that kick-starting. Way to go.

Hi Mustie1 great video i loved your determination to get that engine running you just did not give up. I can`t wait to see the next part on it :)

My Lab likes the crunch those bottles make.

Hello! Never run a four stroke engine backwards! The chain can skip! I like your videos very entertaining! Cheers from Sweden

Man, these Suzukis, by the time you had them started, it was time for bed, those were the days tho. Thx for sharing!

If there was ever a place that needs an electric starter that is the one! No wonder they shoved it to the curb. Still, just getting it to fire at all is more than most people are capable of today. Good job as usual.

Man I loved this video. And wanted to help. I have this very 230 Quadsport got it when I was 12 years old I'm 36 now. Do your self a favor the next time you kick it throw a leg over stand on the left peg and kick straight down with your heal. Compression release goes upwards on the top left handlebar. As for the chain coming off and hitting the case there notorious for it. I still love mine. And I'll be honest I was laughing just a bit before you realized it was in reverse. But something was definitely causing it to bind up.

You always find the best stuff!! I’m jealous

Cool video my friend. I have the exact 86 lt 230!!! It was given to me not running. Gave her some TLC, and now its pretty much bullet/kid proof. Carbon build up on both valves, on mine was a major issue. Got rid of that.....now it smokes no more and starts with a half kik. Good job man.

Yeah that trash picking haul was pretty epic, you got some great stuff!

Man I used to have one of these 230's back in the day, she was always a pain in the ass to kick over I feel your pain lol..

At 13:55, loving the putty knife technique....

Pretty good show. 30:18 for the money shot. LMAO Also the rule for kick starting a motorcycle is the number of kicks required depends on the number of people watching, 116K + means you will be kicking your lungs out

So many kicks. Respect. You da man, Mustie.

I'm pretty sure you ment to say if you sit for a minute then you'll come back alive lol

Man so many trys it's alive I love the videos and your patience

Thanks for having me over bud. Tell the boss we all love her👍👍✌

"I dont want to shoot the oil out", 5 sec later big explosion of oil. lol!

I’ve been looking for a side kicker LT230s for awhile, the chain eating the stator cover is a very common problem with these, you can find a good one on eBay cheap. Please do a restoration video, get it running, clean, paint, redo the plastics, make it really nice, as soon as I find one, I’ll do the same thing.

I used to have 3 of these mid 80s Suzuki LT230s every one of them broke that side cover at some point when the chain would come off. There was supposed to be another bold in that cover where you were digging but it gets ripped off by the chain. I ended up buying new covers and making guards out of 1/8x1 flat bar. Solved that problem. The decompression was operated by a hand lever that was on the left hand bar and pointed up above the clutch lever. It was like a bicycle hand brake lever. I never used it but all of mine had it. Those are awesome quads. They go forever and got a ton of power. Great find and good job getting it back to life.

You and your channel is what KZfaq needs more of. This is not only fun it's very educational for the new generations :P

Best ever excitement moment in youtube history... Dog watched Mustie1... and she wasn't impressed.... lol I loved the video man....

mustie well done for getting it started and of course the boss lilly is in charge

This one must be a pay back for a few of the easy one you got over the years 🤣🤣 . What a work out you got . Love the giggle when it finally started 👍

Great job you amaze me your patience is second to none.

Wow I think there was more smoke coming out the front of it than the tail pipe

I really think mustie is the true definition of a handy man. he can fix anything from putting batteries in a tv remote, to fixing a fighter jet turbine engine
