We're in the new garage now - and that gives us a perfect opportunity to work on some builds we've neglected. The story of the deuce is when we finished it about a year ago. It was still about 95 done, there's still a lot of loose ends that need to get tied up, although the wiring on it is super clean. The paint on it's super clean all these things.

It's like really close. You know it just needs those odds and ends tightened up with. That being said, that's all we're gon na do we're just gon na get this thing fired up. We're gon na.

Take it for a couple laps, even try to remember what's wrong with it. What we need to fix - because it's been that long since we've worked on it and then hopefully, by the end, we'll be ripping all right. So this thing has been sitting in storage for so long. The battery is just completely dead and it won't hold the charge.

So we have to jump it, but that's: okay. We got the c10 here and dude. Could the battery start well? This is something i haven't seen before. Um.

Let me hook up the jumper cables. It wants to start so um, i'm thinking, maybe the starter. Solenoid is like stuck open or something like that. Maybe it needs to be like cleaned out or something um really, not sure about that.

We haven't had this happen before, but we'll let you know what that is conveniently we have all of our wiring parts in this box right here, so i just have to find that solenoid there we go so yeah right here, so we'll have to check the fuse And then just make sure that's firing when we put 12 volts to it and we'll see if we have a problem. So i just kind of checked the solenoid and like hit it around a little bit because maybe it's just kind of like mechanically stuck and it's all plugged back in. So we have the jumper cables running under the garage since it's cold outside to the truck. And let's see if it does the same sturdy thing, let's see all right! Here's the starter button! Perfect! Okay! So i literally just hit that thing on the side of the box and now it works.

So that's pretty cool uh yeah she's dead, the battery's still dead. Okay, so pretty good, we definitely need a new battery. Obviously the brakes are basically non-existent. You kind of just need to let it bring itself to a stop and then the engine seems to not be running right, so yeah.

I think the first thing we're going to fix is the brakes and the battery, and then after that we'll see if the carbs are synced and stuff like that uh, since we had to buy like three ninjas just to fix this one engine, we have a lot Of brakes, so this is one we had and it's you know like we're just looking at it, it's really crusty and it like barely moves, but we do have the new pads and we can put them on this one which definitely looks worse but should work better. It's kind of sitting there literally no pressure, and it's already clamped, so i think yeah perfect before it was super spiky yeah. We have this old uh super beefy, brake cable from go power sports, and this is from the paddy wagon actually, but now we should be able to just like jam on the brakes because that one used to loosen a bunch. So this would be a lot better.

All right, so our brakes are done. That should be a lot better, nice cool. So we have the brake on and you know, let's see how it goes. Yep, i'm trying yeah i mean once we have a foot pulling on that thing.

It's def. It should be able to lock them up, probably and now after this thing's in we should be ready. Okay, so so it's actually killer what fuel line. Oh my gosh! Okay, that's not good! No, it's shoot the filter just broke.

Well, i'm glad i stopped here. Yeah seems like it just started: dude um. Actually, i think the engine is actually okay like um, it's running really good. The shifter is a little kind of iffy.

I just popped out of gear one time, so i think literally the only thing we got ta. Like look at is the shifter and then this thing might be 100 done. One sec. I need joe to get here so come on brother.

So can you hold this above the gas tank? Okay, all right! Let's try it's our best! This time, oh shoot shoot shoot. Come on good thing, gas is cheap nowadays dude. This is actually a tutorial guys how not to yeah in a gas line. Oh man, hey, hey, hey, hey! We got it really.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir, this ain't never coming off all right, i'm taking a break. My hands hurt all right. Well, it was looking really good.

It was looking like we were about ready to actually take this thing for a bigger rip um. But, of course you know we got the fuel line, fixed jason, adjusted the clutch and stuff and then, as soon as we put it, we're trying to snap it into neutral shifter breaks um. This is the second one. We've gone through the first one.

We went through um was a weaker one, so then we got a stronger automatic, shifter cable and this one broke too spread my hand too. All right so we've been working on this thing for a long time and we actually have made a lot of progress, and this is looking super solid. So we want to make sure that the cable is going in straight and then we also kind of modified the cable, because there's kind of a if you can see this first part of it's solid. So all the sliding is going to be done on the solid part and it's kind of got this whole like box with this tie rod end, so it's all just going to be dead straight in and out no twisting, which was our main problem all right.

So we finally have some good news on this: deuce shifter everything's lined up and tightened down, and it actually works really well so right now it's in neutral and then that is uh second and then back into neutral it. The only thing it doesn't do is return. Super well, but it does like get out of the shift point. So there's no problems there and then um yeah i'll just kind of walk you through it.

So we remounted our clutch. So it's really nice and not held on by electrical tape. And then we have just a like heim joint tie rod end going back to the like hard rod going through. Another tie rod end so that keeps this bar extremely straight, which then pushes the cable in and out dead straight and doesn't bend at all.

So that gets rid of our main weak point. Then it just comes back here. We have a lot of excess and then it just goes to the back. We lengthen the lever arm for the shifter, so it's less stress on the shifter and yeah.

It's pretty simple, but it should be really strong. Well, she died, but yeah. It's just really. Well now, uh really nothing to worry about, basically exactly what we wanted from the first time, so yeah this thing might actually be complete.

So we put a lot of work into the deuce, this video and it all turned out super well and is really solid. So we definitely need to check this thing out a little bit more so stay tuned for next video, because we'll actually be thrashing this thing. Taking it off the road really seeing what it's made of. Thank you powersports.

A lot of these parts on this build are friendly power sports and we couldn't do without them, and thank you all for watching and make sure you stay tuned for next time.
