@glowingtrees I only know it's a ceramic capacitor. But in most cases it's usually not blown it just requires re soldering on the bottom. Do be careful if opening an amp (just in case you don't know) capacitors can store a lot of power and if you don't drain the power from it before touching anything, you could get a nasty shock that in cases of tube amps especially could even kill you even if it's not plugged in anymore.

I definitely considered doing that, especially because I have a spare engine which I still have to open again and change the gearing system on. I just have to figure out the jetting if I do that.

I originally was in search of a Honda cg125 1979 model because that model means a lot to me. My Dad had one for all my childhood and wasn't very mechanical minded. He never really looked after it. But I remember just how loyal that little bike was to him. Eventually towards the end of my Dad's career it became very hard to start and the kick-start spring broke. My brother and himself decided to strip it down and restore it and everything was completed ready to reassemble but it then lay fir over 25 years. I loved that bike and had so many good memories with it. I was going to take it from my uncle but before I could do that my brother took it and its still in pieces. I was so devastated. Of everything my family has, land, farm, house that ge could give me, all I wanted was that bike because it means so much to me. I said nothing and swallowed heart and decided I'd find one exactly the same some day. I was glad that happened in a way, because it opened a whole world to me I was never familiar with ( the world of learning and restoration). I prepared myself for how I would restore this bike, I learned every scenario from both very old engineers in my locality (Who were apsolute geniuses and very competen tengineers. I could tell you so many stories of how steam engines were found in a ditch snd were got running in the same day. Sadly those people are now gone, but not without passing on some knowledge. I was a good student. I don't understand everything but I try. Anyway, it was by chance when I was looking for a cg125 of my Dad's era that I came across this sorry piece of history. The engineers similar to Dad's so I bought it not knowing how rare it was. I've been on a journey to restore it from that day forward. It is going to happen soon but its been a long time in the making. I'll be proud to be the only owner that I know of in Ireland of a Hinda cb125 RS.

Bike sounds sweet, choke issue could be the carbs want cleaning where it's been stood. I'd also just like to say be very careful jump starting the bike from a car as it's possible to blow a CDI! Unfortunately I know, as I did exactly that with a GSXR1100W some years ago. Lesson learned!
Did you have a battery in the bike? I cleaned the carbs as you will see in my other vids. It was fine when it warmed up. Carbs might need syncing though.
it is the right clocks and petcock does have reserve
Love this, mate, thanks for sharing bud.
Btw I dont think these bikes had a fuel gauge! Mine hasnt got one either
How cool that I find this video. I have the exact same bike, in almost the exact same state. Clearing it up for this summer! Would love to see more on this bike from you
I'll post up a few more videos. Working on the brakes currently. Couldn't get the rear brake to bleed after cleaning the pistons. Turns out I didn't put crush washers on the banjo bolt. I don't work on hydraulic brakes a lot so I didn't know they were needed.
Did it get more power?
It did make it a bit more lively but not much faster. The Mallossi gears made the biggest difference
is this the original setup only with the technigas exhaust? 😮
No. I also put the Mallossi final drive kit into it. You will see if you search trough my videos. I have a complete playlist on this bike from day one. I have a Chinese carberator with electric choke also. Since this video I have fitted a 70cc big bore kit and it is quite a fast bike for its size. A bit hard on fuel now though.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/gJl81K-Se5vQpZs.htmlsi=i_-ZS3mKNxPWkIlC This is it with the 70 big bore kit, silent pro exhaust and Mallossi gears.
@@damo690 Do you also have a video with only the Technigas exhaust? I've had a scoopy since yesterday and it's now going 25mph. I want it to go to 32/35mph. so I think such an exhaust is sufficient
I noticed a small pick up in power with just the exhaust but it didn't go a lot faster to be honest. If I was going to spend money I'd fit the Mallossi gears first. They make the biggest difference.
Are you the guy that posted your new bike up on the sh50 Facebook page today?
You do some talking but saying nothing.Just garbGe
thanks for thise long vids. this is gona help me out alot.
my 96 sh50 ot, just crapped out the other day.. ill watch thise serie as a toutental to reviving my ghetto hoopty.. thanks.
Your welcome. I have two series on these. I have fully restores a red one and am currently working on that blue one. Look in my play lists to find the red one.
I bought one of these amps to repair it and not got around to it yet ,but a good fix for floating parts such as those big ceramic power resistors would be to squirt some electrical grade silicone under it to act as a shock absorber,i would not use hot melt glue,the silicone is used to hold and absorb shock on large electolytics axial and radial,no one likes to repair cracked pcb tracks,especially on modern SS amps that are a pain in the arse to access.
Oh bugger! I do hope you're not out of action for too long, and that the hand heals up properly.
I hope its going to be OK. It seems to be healing up. I'm not sure if the skin will be tight when healed or if there will be a lot of scaring. So much unknown but not worth worrying myself about just rite now.
@@damo690 as a fellow musician, I often worry that I may do something awful to my hands, I do hope it works out OK.
Hello brother, I came across your old parrot bebop video and wanted to write it here. Currently GPS is not working on bebop 1 and it never turns green. I bought a second hand GPS, but the green GPS light is not on either. Were you able to solve this problem? I'll be glad, if you help me.
Those GPS chips are well known for going bad. It's possible you purchased one that was also bad. We're you in a city environment or built up area when trying it out? If so then environment's like that are not great for those wee drones. I'd take it to an open place with no phone masts or pilons etc in the vecinity and try it out there. If it goes green there then the GPS chip is probably OK. I found mine just refused to go green in built up areas most of the time. The Mavic Mini is a way better drone for your money and version one or two can be picked up for very little
@@damo690 Yes, I tried it in the City. I also have a Maviv mini in mind, but due to Turkey's economic situation, I cannot buy it right now because it is much more expensive than your price there. As you said, you will go to the open field and test it soon. Thanks.
Just a thought, but it might be worth considering a 150 barrel and piston. I have them on mine, and they do improve midrange power. I know I'm way behind the curve, but an engine that's not in the bike would be a lot easier to convert. An idea for the future, perhaps. You don't have to modify anything else if you stick to 150cc.
I definitely considered doing that, especially because I have a spare engine which I still have to open again and change the gearing system on. I just have to figure out the jetting if I do that. But the engine I have in the bike is a numbers matching engine making the bike valuable later on. I will devalue it if I put the spare engine into it. So I goy a bit of thinking to do before I do that.
@@damo690 , I still run the standard jets, and it runs fine.
It's just great for me that someone else has one and is doing so much in terms of maintenance and repairs. I've learned quite a lot already, and this matters since my friendly expert has now moved 125 miles away. Thanks for your efforts, and they're not long-winded when they get you lost in the detail.
I hot reproduced labels for it as you will see here in the link. Is your bike a red one or blue? kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGSqus1wocuwpLw.htmlsi=P_SoUy02s3Ve7oQr
Oil could mean hardened valve guide seals, I cured mine with Lucas Stop Leak. Worth trying.
I had already replaced the valve stem seals at that stage but the plug was still getting fowled up with oil. I couldn't understand because I used a brand new head gasket. There should have been nothing wrong with it. But it turned out that the head gasket was faulty and that was eventually the issue after all my head scratching and messing for months as you will see as you follow the videos lol. Most of my early videos on this bike are quite long winded but I did try to shorten them a bit later on 😆. I'm now just about to start the total strip down for the restoration as I have managed to get all the missing parts I needed.
If it's the original tap it should be main tank when it's at top, I think, but the replacement I fitted is main at the bottom, although it says otherwise. All part of the fun of maintaining old bikes.
Fabulous. I wish I'd been aware of your posts a year ago, as I might have been a bit more use. I was lucky enough to get a very good example which needed no real work. They're great little bikes, and very underrated.
I originally was in search of a Honda cg125 1979 model because that model means a lot to me. My Dad had one for all my childhood and wasn't very mechanical minded. He never really looked after it. But I remember just how loyal that little bike was to him. Eventually towards the end of my Dad's career it became very hard to start and the kick-start spring broke. My brother and himself decided to strip it down and restore it and everything was completed ready to reassemble but it then lay fir over 25 years. I loved that bike and had so many good memories with it. I was going to take it from my uncle but before I could do that my brother took it and its still in pieces. I was so devastated. Of everything my family has, land, farm, house that ge could give me, all I wanted was that bike because it means so much to me. I said nothing and swallowed heart and decided I'd find one exactly the same some day. I was glad that happened in a way, because it opened a whole world to me I was never familiar with ( the world of learning and restoration). I prepared myself for how I would restore this bike, I learned every scenario from both very old engineers in my locality (Who were apsolute geniuses and very competen tengineers. I could tell you so many stories of how steam engines were found in a ditch snd were got running in the same day. Sadly those people are now gone, but not without passing on some knowledge. I was a good student. I don't understand everything but I try. Anyway, it was by chance when I was looking for a cg125 of my Dad's era that I came across this sorry piece of history. The engineers similar to Dad's so I bought it not knowing how rare it was. I've been on a journey to restore it from that day forward. It is going to happen soon but its been a long time in the making. I'll be proud to be the only owner that I know of in Ireland of a Hinda cb125 RS.
@@damo690 If the CG still exists, then there's always hope. RSs are very rare in running order nowadays, so well worth owning. Mine just turned 40, so will be everything exempt next year. I had a good friend who was also a skilled bike and car mechanic, though he's moved away now, so I'm also going to be on a learning curve. I'm looking for a project as soon as I've done a bit of refurb on the frame and stands, they just need a bit of rust killer and some paint. Safe riding.
If you need parts I have some extra ones that you just might need. Side panels and extra switch gears etc
Standard main jet for an RS is a100, so it might pay to source one if you can. I did have to replace the coil on mine a couple of years ago. I really would like to see you get it running, as I've had a hoot on mine.
Just a thought, but as you're at TDC you may get a tiny bit of movement . It might be worth trying at nearer to half stroke if you want to be sure if there is play in the big end. You could put a marker spot on to see if there is any movement then.
God bless you, thanks for taking the time to try to help, it’s a good reminder for any other amplifiers, the high heat on the power resistors can fuse the led, thanks
Your welcome
Eventually got it running rite. The owner sold it since. A lot if electronic issues.
need to pull the rear brake to start.
hi, i like how informative these restoration video's are because i've got a sh50 myself so it's been a huge help, i do have one question though what the electrical box underneath the speedometer called because it's causing shortcircuits on mine so i'd like to replace it but since i don't know what it's called i can't find it. thank you in advance 😉
I'm really not sure bud. I take it you mean the box where all the electrics plug into?
It's probably dirty and oxidised. Buy some electrical contact cleaner and try cleaning it with it. Also clean all the plugs.
Are you on the honda city express sh50 80 125 Group on facebook? Some of the guys on there may have the piece you need
@@damo690 thank you. ;)
Love the new wheels there. Looks the part. Well done. Do you still have the small seat that came with it when you bought it? If so id be interested in buying that from you. Thanks. Matt ( County Durham UK)
I do have it but I want to keep it as it was an original piece of that bike and I may wantvto put it back on in the future.
Before 1981, VINs had 5 to 13 digits so that could well be the VIN. The 17 digit came in January 1981
It turned out to be the correct bin number another time. It's all registered now.
Hi. If you buy a set with smal drilbits you can use a old jet to drill out a bigger hole in it. I have not tryed it my self yet, but seen others doing it and it seems to work. It is a bit of try and error, but it is defently wort trying. If i remeber right is the main jet a 78 originaly on the bike.
I know on my old carberator from the red bike it was 85 so I ordered a set of 90+ hoping I'm close. You need to buy specific sets of drill bits to do that rite. It's a good idea if you work at bikes day in day out though.
What website did you purchase the cylinder?
I got it from a seller on ebay. They had to get it ordered from the Mother company so it took longer than expected to get it.
