      @romulusxyz6722 "Sales makes 3x to 5x what we make a month."
      Yeah, that's pretty typical of what it's like here, too.
      That's why the dealerships want their "underpaid mechanics" to steer customers with repair issues toward the sales department. Sales brings in more revenue.
      If they aren't doing that where you're employed, you are the exception, not the rule. And that's good to hear.

      @@jackreisewitz6632 Eh I guess I was pretty brash in my reply. I've been a mechanic for about 2 years now, left the IT field after 16 years for something new. That being said, I don't know as much about it as I sounded like I did, sorry man.
      But fortunately my company doesn't push us towards sales, it just pisses me off how much more they make.
      I'm a watercraft mechanic, and I see some tickets go up to $5,000+. It's disheartening seeing those tickets over and over and then seeing my check every two weeks.
      Think it's about time to go back to IT. I was making six figures there. The flipside is that I enjoy being a mechanic more than an IT Security guy. Decisions, decisions man.

      I would only add that a clean working environment is very important, BEFORE opening any engine. Taking a few minutes to pressure wash and blow dry the engine bay so you are not introducing dirt into the engine, not only makes for a nice clean area to work on, it saves tool and garage cleanup later and allows you to see cracks and damage that can be hidden by grime.

I have yet to be disappointed by your uploads and content because I enjoy watching you do what you love. The passion you have for the motorized toys is undeniable and I too share it with you. I love motors and wheels and when the 2 are combined, it makes for a way to have hella fun. I have a Honda 440 big bore I'm having trouble with and I'm hoping to get it running again in a couple weeks or so when the weather gets nicer. I don't have a place to work on it inside so I have to wait till the nicer weather gets here. I cant wait to ride it again and go full throttle through my neighborhood. You know the neighbors love it. :D Anyways, thanks for your content. I learn things every new video and I can also go back through your uploads and learn anything that has to do with these machines.

    I have pretty much the same machine, EFI version a few years newer. I use it around my small farm. Perfect machine for that, I use it even more than the tractor. Put a 2" ball into that receiver and you will find that you can just back it off the trailer and then move that 6x12 trailer to the back of the Teryx. It will tow that trailer like a dream, especially in low gear. Mine will pull the trailer with two 5foot round hay bales on it. Perfect setup, pull the Teryx to a work site on the trailer and then unload the trailer and tow the trailer with the Teryx. I usually have the chainsaw and gas in the dump bed and then fill the trailer with wood. Tailgate is also perfect height for working on the saw when you refill the fuel and sharpen the chain. Fill the dump bed with shovels, saws and drills, and then the trailer with fenceposts, and you have the perfect setup for fencing. It really is a great machine. Way more versatile than a regular 4-wheeler.

    For the newbies with chainsaws and cutting firewood,measure your fireplace to see what length wood fits it best,16,18,20,24" etc and get that length bar and chain for your saw,make sure you have the cc size appropriate,and when cutting your firewood simply measure your cuts using the bar making a nick and cut across the nick making the ideal length firewood for your application... also the heavier weight oil one uses in the chain oiler in warmer months means better lubrication for the bar and chain,winter time a lighter weight oil is mandatory the further north one is.. Glad ya got a good deal and price on this sxs and it should last you many many years of miles and smiles and decades if taken care of...

    Glad it's running, sounds good, but, I would recommend running some Chemtool or Seafoam through the top end down the carb throats, no joking it will run way smoother and have increased power. Usually do it on everything we fix her 4 stroke, it's really amazing the difference it makes. At MMI we would spray a fine mist of water through and clear carbon out, this is way healthier and better. Give er a shot... great Job.

Held my hand over the intake without an air filter and it accelerated. New K& N paper air cleaner resolved all issues. I shared this with a friend who had the same model and his performace also improved.

      When working on lawn mowers and someone brings in a mower with the issue beige it won’t start or they think it bent a lifter rod it seems that every time that it happens the oil is blacker then coal is and a lifter has stuck!!! I’ve ran across this issue probably a dozen different times and I’d say most or at least 9 to 10 are from the Kawasaki engines that most businesses like to run!!! But as long as the oil is changed in the correct hours of run time and a good oil ram each time I’ve never seen this issue!!! Also some come in with a new mower that they baught the year before and say it won’t start?? The first thing I ask is have you ever taken it back in after buying it to have the valves reset after running the mower for 8 to 10 hours?? Every time the answer is no they never said anything about having them checked!!! I’d go in reset the valves and it would start!!! I bet at least 99 out of a hundred people never have there valves reset after buying a new mower and end up with a no start or the mower having a hard to start issue!!!!

    I bought an arctic cat 650 in a similar deal. Same kawi engine just the 650 variant. Had a fuel delivery problem originally. Guy got it on a trade and lost interest. probably because it wouldnt even fire on starting fluid. It took some coercing but ive had experience before with engines that have compression issues. I believe the compression release on the cams were stuck looked like someone neglected oil changes aswell. Hooked it upto my running car, emphasis on the running so its at the higher charging voltage. That higher voltage really got that starter turning the engine pretty fast. Made sure valve lash was good and not to tight otherwise youll have compression issues. Still wouldnt fire. Would get the occasionally pop off out of the front cylinder. This being a twin cylinder I pulled the rear spark plug since it didnt appear to want to do much anyway. This got the engine rotating even faster that way. The front cylinder kinda started coming alive. It was firing consistanly now but awfully weak. Didnt have enough power to even keep the engine running on its on and to stay on starter for it to kinda want to run. Kept trying, revved up my car little to keep voltage from dropping, ran a second set of jumper cables and some more cranking it started and reved up on the one cylinder and stayed running as long as I was giving it some throttle. Mind you the rear plug is still out. Tossed that in, and was able to fire it right up again easily this time but still had the rear cylinder dead. Some reving and I guess the compression release came free and the rear cylinder came alive. Engine sounds mint, strong too. No timing chain rattle, no bottom end noise, no ticking. Clutch was seized, freed that up and now it has the typical clutch rattle but I know that engine by itself is silent. I still have to go through the carbs again but its runs pretty good. Still have more to finish up on it before its first drive, needs some tires mounted as its sitting on rims. Did a burnout on the rims tho haha.

    You likely won’t read this but I have somewhat the same trailer. I put 2 small jacks on the back of the trailer for unloading the UTV and I can load and unload when it’s not hooked to the truck. One of the best add-ons for the trailer.

What happened to wing nuts (old air filters) for easy access points? Why are these not fuel injected, and what about manual transmissions?

    When trying to start a motor that has sat for a time, try to identify the vents on the fuel bowl and fill the fuel bowl with fresh fuel through the vent. This averts a lot of dry cranking on the engine waiting for fuel to reach and fill the carbs.

    Get a hole saw and make a hole in the plastic above the radiator cap, works great for piece of mind. They handle larger tyres, suspension is built like a small car. Heavy duty plus. Tow hitch will haul the Polaris and others around the trails all day. They might not be fast but they are tough.

    You dont have to put the engine at tdc to check valves. Just spin the engine till intake and exhaust valves are closed and the engine is in its compression stroke.

    • @Rat-Builder
      @Rat-Builder Před rokem +1

      You are so right. I adjusted the valves on a Cat 3412 with a remote starter button. I did it all the time with 3116, 3208, 3406, 3306, Polaris quads, virtually all engines. Never had an issue, and a lot faster than using a dial indicator or trying to find marks.

    • @Rat-Builder
      @Rat-Builder Před rokem +1

      @@bradenwuesthoff5639 Yea, on the Cat engines there is a hole in the bell housing to insert a timing bolt, and then you have to manually turn the engine over slowly until the pin lines up with the corresponding hole in the flywheel. Sometimes these holes are almost impossible to get at, and then there is the turning the engine over by hand. To heck with that! My way is so much easier, not to mention faster. I wonder how many "mechanics" know the 4 strokes IN ORDER of an internal combustion 4 cycle engine?

    The plug-in for the winch, even though I just started watching this video is usually on the winch climb over the hood, plug it in to get back in the passenger seat or stand off to the side and winch it out. Most people I see sit back in the passenger seat, right behind the winch line and pull themselves out, which is no Bueno.
