Back on the Yamaha Morphous scooter, I get the motor out and clean the frame up. I tried to polish up the plastic, some of it looked really good, but both sides have road rash from being crashed at some point in it’s past so I will have to come up with a plan to make this scooter look really good when we are done with it.

I finally get to the bottom of this drivability issue by fabricating a test rig to fire the injectors and view the spray pattern. I find a mix of old and new style injectors, and the old ones, while eventually cleaning up, still exhibited some sketchy behavior so I replaced them. Now she runs smooth as silk and the throttle response is instantaneous!

Still working on this 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Brougham, we work our way through a drivability issue where the car is hard to start, runs very rich and performs poorly.

I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Bruce Roe from the “Cadillac & Lasalle Club” for guiding me through diagnosing the issues. He is without a doubt, THE authority when it comes to this rare, old analog fuel injection system used on these cars.

In this video, I give a shoutout to fellow YouTuber “Eldorado George” He is one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to working on or restoring these old Caddys!

In part 3 of this series, I show how to properly aim the headlamps using just painters tape and a Phillips head screwdriver!

In part 2 of this series, we repair some damage we found and complete repairing the headlight buckets.

In part 1 of this video series, we repair the headlight buckets so that they can be aimed properly and upgrade the original incandescent bulbs with new Sylvania halogen lamps.

In this video, we replace the aging muffler and resonator with new Walker replacements and quiet that big 500 cubic inch monster down!

I posted this for the benefit of a friend to show howmy videos are made in the workshop.

I had the privilege of working on a beautiful 1976 Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood Brougham to track down a mysterious coolant leak, and as a bonus, got to learn some neat history about its owner.

I rebuild an axle half shaft for one of my customers project car, a 1982 Nissan 280ZX.

I designed and built a forced draft, drip style waste oil heater for the workshop.

This is part 2 of the two part series where I install a TransGo shift kit in my bosses 2000 Ford Mustang GT.

At the end is the tire chirping road test!

This is part 1 of a 2 part series where I install a TransGo shift kit in my bosses souped up 2000 Ford Mustang GT.

We have a lot going on at the workshop this weekend! Stay tuned as we install a TransGo shift kit in a friends highly modified 2000 Ford Mustang GT.

Who is “MacGyver”?

From a recent video shoot

“MacGyver” was a TV show back in the 80’s about a man who was extremely clever and resourceful, and could find a solution to any situation he found himself in using whatever was available around him at the time. People started giving me that nickname and it stuck! I worked in the field of Information Technology for 30 years, and my workshop was my hobby. In 2009, a friend talked me into starting a YouTube channel and making videos of our projects. Word got around that I was a “gearhead” and accomplished mechanic, then people started reaching out to me when they had been to multiple other shops that still hadn’t fixed their problems. The rest as they say, is history!
