Im 53 yrs old and had lost interest in working on anything anymore. Young man you have gave me a want to do something feeling. Think I'll go back to work on my 89 kx 500.
Excellent! Good choice.
52 here and the same is true. except I got something way lamer and newer.
Lol,59 and turning my xr650 into a super moto!
@@darrinwoodward14 goals!
Make her minty again!
So I dug out a 1976 Toro 7/26 Snowblower from beside the garage. It was 10” deep in the ground from sitting. Followed your vids for about a year now. Wife said I’ll never get it to run. Cleaned carb,got spark after setting points correct,got sweet spark and woke up the household lastnight revving her out.
Feels good
Did the wife put a nice sign on the fridge “I was wrong about you. You are a super Man”?
no better feeling! Nice work!
I can not control the excitement of taking a pile and making it run better than new after horrible abuse and neglect. The projects are always ready to fire up when everyone is asleep.
"The gas was off" classic!
Better than Matt running out of gas...!
How many video's of his have u watched. He usually put's very little gas in and it stalled out many time's. Almost seemed intentional on other video's
@@user-qs2ge1yb7b Yes, but I don’t think Joe is doing it on purpose like Matt’s off road does, Matt just does the, will we make it thing to generate comments from people telling him to fill up with fuel. One of the reasons I don’t watch Matt’s off road recovery channel anymore, they’ve unfortunately jumped the shark. Cheers from down under mate.
He does that in many of his videos.
I took it as a reminder to check the position of the fuel petcock. Sometimes, the simplest things are the best! I watch this channel every Saturday morning, and Mustie1 every Sunday morning. I got back into ATVs recently after 30+ years and I have these guys to thank!
Engineers should have to disassemble and re-assemble their creations to see why they don't design things certain ways.
It's funny how when I go to sell anything on the internet, people want to offer 50% of the price, but when I go to buy things, no one wants to come down 50%. I don't even respond to those people any more.
Sadly when it comes to motorbikes, quad bikes, cars ect they are now designed so you choose not to work on them at home and take it to a garage/dealership instead
As a nearly gratuated engineer, unfortunately we don’t get to design things based just on how easy they are to take apart and put back together.
There’s also looks, size, weight, durability, cost to manufacture etc.
If the average customer wanted something that’s easy to disassemble then that’s exactly what companies would still make, because at the end of the day the companies just want to make money.
I’ll trade you a broken Xbox 360 and $52.11
I'm convinced some of these company's employ puzzle wizards, to deliberately design things to be as challenging as possible.
Some of the cars I've worked on, have been a joke
@@nibsnibsSounds like you’re going to be exactly the kind of engineer he’s talking about.
I'm soooo glad this build is over. It's been bugging me too. Nice job recovering. ❤
Aye guys don’t be scamming my boy vintage he’s a hard worker he’s got me into this and it’s hard not to get scammed on atvs let alone someone’s willing to ship you some parts and then turn around and not send them that’s messed up
But 2vintage always finds a way
There is no such thing as a great deal. He had to learn that. Ebay parts are guaranteed.
That's one thing these big cc engines hate is a dead battery. Glad you finally got it figured out, and got your parts. Hope you get a refund bud. I hate scammers. I did this business for about 8 years and got scammed so many times I just gave up on it altogether. She sounds strong!!
That was the wrong battery for that application too, the correct one needs to have the poles reversed so that they face the cables. They're not designed to be stretched out to the back of the battery and be tightened at a weird angle like he did.
“Had to pound the cylinder onto the piston”! 😂
oh no!
I should have said tapped lol
been there, sometimes.it's the only way. "skilled taps" sounds better! 😂
Bravo, you fought through it and won! Another great video with a learning experience. keep up the hard work
Start doing DIY tutorials!! Fork seals, top ends, bottom end, clutches!
Result and most definitely a keeper.
What a relief ! Finally ! Full marks for perseverance . It paid off in the end . Well done . Very interesting .
You forgot to install the oil strainer before you put the clutch cover back.
Glad to see you got it together and running well! Also great to see you getting some rips in on that beast!
Your positivity at the end is amazing got scammed for a 1000 dollars but happy to hear it start and learn new stuff
I’m going to be working on my 96 Katana this weekend. Your show has taught me a lot.
BRAVO, proving again, that patience and knowledge concurs all. Thanks for another great video, lots of learning moments and a great ride
The repair chain, the logic path were exce..emit as always. I’m not a mechanic, but I have learned a lot by watching.
The big take away here is your willingness to admit problems, specifically with integrity of sellers. People in general are honest. But when presented with a vehicle that isn’t right to sell, they sometimes victimize the buyer. Couple that with embarrassment and the whole situation devolves. Instead of centering your video on being screwed, you got to work fixing what you could, thereby cutting your loss of time & money.
Way to dig out!
I hope you follow through on the $1000 theft. That’s what it is. That guy needs to pay up.
Just awesome man! Glad it was a success. Thanks so much videoing ur work, just love it.👍🏻
Well done excellent perseverance on your part, came out brilliant.
I'm so glad too see this quad come full circle. Awesome job Joe!
Glad this one is getting some attention when I heard about the guy scamming you that was crazy!
I have the exact pipe & tuner on my raptor 700. The tuner richens in 3 rev ranges. The green is basically idle. The orange light is middle revs & the red is top end. The number it’s on is the amount of fuel it’s adding in that rev range. When you see two of the green orange or red that is a half position. So if you wanna add a bit more fuel in the top end you could set the red light to 3.5 which would be the 3 & 4 blinking. The next set of blinking lights will be the green, orange & red with a blue light. This is the transition point in the rev range. You set it the same way you set the fuel. You have to do it when the bikes running & it takes some practice cuz it will turn the setting mode off rather quick
Good job man atleast you finally got it built!! 👍
Great series on this one! Not much gets you down my man. Gotta say your positive outlook, no matter the circumstances, is awesome. I've bought some turds and may or may not have said a few choice words when I found out how bad it was.
I have watched almost all
Of your videos and I have learned a lot I love your channel man I watch your videos now just for entertainment I’ve even watched some videos 2 or 3 times. Keep up the good work
Buddy.
Love the all back grey color scheme..it would look even more sik with black/grey hand guards
Dude, you are a Mad Scientist with this...I Love all your videos, I'm 49, been riding since the training wheels came off. I've learned an incredible amount of knowledge watching your vids. If I had your knowledge and mechanics skillz, I wouldn't be afraid to buy any riding machine. All you need is money for the parts. I would like to know what you know ...did you go to a tech school, ..Or, are you one of those guys that...just knows ...they don't know why, ..they just know. I've seen it many times. Wish I had it like that* Anyway, ...please continue..I,..."WE" need this. Thank You for all your hard work to bring us these...it's Awesome. Your editing is on point.its truly a professional program that you have put together. I hope your being paid proper for your time...because your fans...US...we really enjoy this.
You have done really well to break all theses bad spells on this quad .
Well done for breaking through it .
That was a tough nut to fix. 😅
Runs good, just quit short shifting it, don't wanna blow apart bottom end.. fun.. great job, great vid!!
You had one of these when you were doing videos at your parents house a few years ago I think because you did a top speed run on one I think but it definitely looks and sounds amazing and fast great job
That excitement at the was almost To much for me. Glad you know your stuff. 😊😊😊
I love your videos. I envy the way you have the patience of a monk. I was wondering if the valves you got for it are better quality aftermarket ones? Im from the great white north and do a bit of work on quads and such as well. Keep up the good work. Nice to see some of those classics running again.
Don't worry Joe... There's bad eggs everywhere anymore but life's got a plan for them idiots. There's still good people out here. You know I found what helps me with those crank bolt covers is to use a Torx bit when you feel them Allen heads giving out and a little heat
An easy, simple way to check if the valves are sealing prior to installing the head is to assemble the head & install a spark plug. Then, with the combustion chamber facing up, fill the combustion chamber with water. Shoot some compressed air into the intake and exhaust ports while looking for bubbles in the water. No bubbles = good seal.
Another one saved ! Nice to see the final result ! You just prove that most can be salvaged in the end.
Got an old hand crank manual press for the shop, and we built a sping cup attachment for it to push valve springs. So far, it's been awesome, so much quicker.
Great job! I seen guy😊s just shine a flash light up behind valve and if no light then no lapping needed! Also I learned for bowl float pins Get a spring loaded center punch It’s works perfect! Just did it on Indy trail sled
That's what I like about your videos, you're always up for a challenge.
YES !!!!!!! ust be the best feeling, ever to hear that fire right up after countless hours of waiting.
I'm so glad you got it running you will it even more when the ground drys up. And the tuner sounds like it's right only thing I would do is see what it will do on top end look for break ups or bogging
You can lapp the valves with just sharpie marker and get a idea if the seat is out of spec.
Great work! Once again, such an inspiring video!
I was getting so much anxiety when you were torquing those head bolts lol
Great vid, informative, and a fun ride
Rather than just winging it I would prove the valves and seats are perfect by checking they will hold a vacuum before reassembly.
Dang bro always always always use paypal
Why??
Yep lesson learned
@@2vintageMail him a 🎨 paint/stink bomb package 📦 give his living room a very smelly colorful makeover.
@ZanderSteele PayPal operates like this. The seller only gets his money when the package gets delivered. Also if something like this happens again. You can make a claim and they will send you the money back
@@ZanderSteelebecause you are protected by scams so he will of got his full money back I believe
This one fought you all the way. I am glad you learned from fixing it, and I hope Vinny takes it easy on you about the clutch basket!
He needs to open up a dealership: "2vintage Classic Powersports"
If you buy something from him make sure to buy a starter warranty!!! Haha
😆@@MRGUMMI3B3AR80
So happy you got it going. Some things just take a while and you have patience.
If you dump a little fuel in the intake & exhaust on the head, you can tell if your valves are seated..
I like your video's a lot and I learn from you thx.
Great job, love the videos keep them coming, Thanks Turtle, from Taunton mass. Peace
Nice vid, one thing I do recommend is doing idle heat cycles to allow the rings to seat and oil to make its way around the engine. Don’t rev it immediately after startup, give it a couple minutes to avoid metal chaffing.
He will continue to do it he don't listen
"We" didn't drop that clutch basket! I wasn't there.
Probably Vinn dropped it.
But you are, if your watching the video.He alway's put's himself in a Third person conversation. ~Their is a Sienfield episode that talk's about someone doing that LOL.
Haha Vinnie was there 🤣
Exactly, because if you would have been there you could have warned him: "Don't drop the clutch basket!" But since you weren't it's your fault ;)
Happy the quad wasn’t junk. I’m trying to learn bike mechanics. But I’m not sure about cams, and timing. You make it look so easy but putting back together doesn’t seem like something I can do, I’d love to be able to fix them like you do. I’d buy alot of cheap will not start bikes
42:15 Super cheap hairspray works well for grips. The alcohol dried fast, especially with a shot of compressed air under it, and leave a grippy film that is easy to clean later.
You def. have to up the fuel delivery with the larger more open pipes. Nice job, she sounds good. On the website of the Power Commander, there should be a suggestion of settings for certain pipes. My JD Jetting tuner has a .pdf of the recommended settings. Should be the same for that unit.
I have the hmf tuner on my raptor 700. Basically the same tuner. Mine has 5 settings. Setting 1/green is idle and cruising enrichment, setting 2/orange is mid throttle enrichment, setting 3/red is full throttle enrichment. Setting 4/orange & blue changes the point at which it switches from the idle enrichment to mid throttle enrichment, and setting 5/red & blue changes the point at which it switches between the mid throttle enrichment and full throttle enrichment.
Couldn't see where the map change points were, but enrichment looks like 3, 2.5, 3 for low, mid, and high.
If a single number is lit, then that's the number, but if 2 are lit next to each other, then it's the .5 between them, for instance if 4&5 were both lit, then the setting would be 4.5 or four and a half.
Always use the box end of a wrench when tightening final valve lash...the open end with round off the set nut leading to more issues down the road.
I have a tuner on a 450 to fix the lean condition after uncorking. Works great.
Always wanted one of these 700xx's
Great job as usual. Sounds like the motor in my Pioneer. Sorry you got scammed, a lesson for us all.
sounded a lot better with the power commander. Jurys out on longevity. Thanks for the video, good stuff.
Been dying to c this was run again well done m8 hard work gains the rewards
I've always thought Hondas were engineering marvels. You showed that they are not what they used to be. Curious, why are the rings so stiff? It's not a compressed engine. Great video you are so fun to listen to. BTW, I always take the feeler out when I tighten so I don t flatten it...
Love the perseverance Joe! Great job man!
Love these videos, unfortunate that you got scammed.
My little puppy girl gets so excited when we watch and your doggo makes a cameo appearance 😊
Great film, excellent work and thanks for sharing.
That thing sounds dope. Just wait till summer when you can rip around your land more.
Great job. It runs really well. I don’t like scammers either. It was not good this happened to you. A tip for getting that stripped plug out of the cover. Tap a spline bit into it, and spray it with freeze spray. It will shrink the plug slightly and you can unscrew it.
Damn you got a lot of snow compared to anywhere in MN
Nice job my friend..sounds great. Glad everything worked out. Just in jest..ever notice front and back of 4 wheeler shaped like Green Goblin?
New to your channel and love your content and the time that goes on the editing side of your content. Send love from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸 PS, sorry about some parts costing so much from the UK, must be that large pond between between us. 😂❤
i"m not a mechanic but I enjoy your videos you do such good work something I wish I knew
Good job bro. I used to own a 700xx. Was an awesome quad.
congrats, Joe. I worried this one would be a total disaster a year or so ago. I’d consider getting to rip it out there a win, regardless of $s spent. like you said, you gained experience and knowledge…that’s priceless, IMO. cheers
For the fuel tuner, it looked like your settings were 2.5 - 3 - 3. Which is probably close enough. But when 2 and 3 are both flashing that means 2.5
If you take a heat gun to the plastics and you do it right it'll make them look like brand new again get rid of all the scratches
and crack like nothing after
Yeah that's a used car salesman technique, it makes the plastics super brittle. Spend the money on the Cerakote wipes and it will actually work.
Dishonest people blow! Sorry that it happened to you. I recently found your videos and am enjoying them. Subscribed!
Great Job 👍 Put some new tires & Registration on it & get out on the trails. Enjoy your work
😂 the commander was flashing waiting for the bike to start. Then it sets the tune as it needs it.
I’m glad you finally got it going that’s awesome
Lol...dude....for someone who works on bikes so much, you have a bad habit of NOT turning the gas on...ha ha. Keep up the AWESOME videos mate.
Really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.
I am old so I am not buying an atv- but riding with your camera attached made me feel like I was right there with you, awesome! How do you feel about about jumping over barrels on a motorcycle? : )
Definitely earned this one! Well done joe! And vinny of course 😂
The best part of your work, you enjoy the machine you work with.
You gotta keep that quad with all the time and work and hard to find parts ya she a keeper.
Anyone who does this as a hobby or side hussle long enough gets scammed in pursuit of a good deal at some point.. myself included. I love your videos though man. Keep em coming
When installing valves, lubricate the stems and place some grease on the keepers to help stick them in place so they do not fall off...
the stripped out hex head in the crankshaft plug ;..grind a large slot in it with a die grinder and use a large flat blade screw driver to remove it..!
Nice work! I feel ya bud I got scammed on the 05 raptor 660 I have. Has a crack in the valve cover which was hidden to me at the time of purchase. As I’m sure you know from your raptor build you can’t just change the cover you gotta get an entire cylinder. Hate that design honestly.
Thought you might give up on this one...NEVER!!!
I loved the breakin period on the engine !
😂👍🏼
So glad you conquered this beast.
Great video. Sorry you got scammed. I hate a thief. Glad it ran so good.
Great video bro love your work
That whole exercise with the starter bolt and cam chain tensioner bolt is why I bought a KTM 1290 over the Honda Africa Twin. I looked under the plastics for both and knew immediately that I didn’t want to ever work on the Honda… especially with the stupid DCT.
Great job Joe! Looks like a "Night Furry" lol
TOOTHLESS...LMAO
i think you need to add on to the side of your garage, a nice area to house all your toys to give you more space to move around while working on stuff,
That's a good idea
Shoot I'm pretty sure he's still renting a storage unit
@@Bulliedbylebouef yeah I am
@@2vintage well then it may save you some money in the long run to do a little bit of expanding
Buy some sea containers
