@@yayoinkdab5883 hey bud, thank you for watching! Don’t feel stupid, gotta start somewhere. If you are sitting on the quad looking down at the handle bars, look at the left hand grip. Just on the inside of the grip, going towards the middle of the bike there should be a thumb actuator that goes up and down. Not in and out but up and down. ( I’m assuming your bike is like mine). Now a lot of times the plastic drys out and cracks and the cable will fall down towards the middle of the handle bars. If you don’t see a cable going to the left hand grip, try and locate the cable. If the cable is “loose” or not connected then pulling out or away from the bike should be choke on and pushing towards the bike should be off. It shouldn’t require a lot of force. Be careful, don’t want to break the choke. Hopefully this helps. Keep me posted.

@flippinnuts1 awesome very much appreciated i couldn't find the answer anywhere on Google Now the only issue with the quad outside of me not finding the choke🤣 I bought it cheap but it's cheap because it seems to be permanently sruck in 4 wheel drive. When pushing and pulling the lever you can see it turning in the front drives haft but regardless it will not disengage 4wd Any ideas what would do that? A fuse or actuator or something simple I hope lol

@@yayoinkdab5883 I believe the fuse for the 4wd is under the seat in the battery compartment. If it’s blown or the ground is corroded it can cause it to stay in 4wd mode, this is the default if there is an issue in the system. I’d start with the fuse and follow the harness and look for corroded wires or connections. Then I’d go to the actuator.

@@kendrajames8397 Thank you for watching. It’s most likely the switch. They get a lot of abuse, I’d start there. Lmk

Hey could you possibly make a vid on how to change the belt. If not I understand!

@@glorianamonroig6441 They really are a pain, lol. Thank you so much for watching and taking time out of your day to comment. I truly appreciate the support. Good on you for getting out there and taking care of your car.

@@jasonlegalman3704 Nope, 40+ years that has never happened but okay…, if you’d of actually watched you might of noticed it was actually the harness.

@@RahRam-l6g Thank you. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.

Thank you sir. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.

Thank you for watching and taking a minute to ask. No, if you do it in the way I did in the video it won’t. Never had an issue and it’s still working great.

That is really cool! Thank you so much for watching. Really glad the videos have helped. Good luck with the project, I think you’ll be happy with the quad, keep me posted on the progress. 👍

@flippinnuts1 I definitely will. Thanks again for the videos 🙋👍

Thank you for checking out the video and taking the time to ask about the car. It was my dad’s car and he ended up having the car picked up. I honestly have no idea what became of the cadi.

@@flippinnuts1 aaaaaw 🥺. I’m purchasing one next weekend. And the seller said she just needs a fuel pump and a tune up and after seeing this video, I’m kind of nervous.

@@allantelynn306 Don’t be, worth the effort, in my opinion.

Good luck! Hope you save it. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. 👍

@@flippinnuts1 thanks!

Hi, thank you for checking out the video. Yes, if the coolant temp. sensor is bad it will be hard to start in any temperature. Hope this helps, please let me know. Have a great day.

Very cool! Thank you for watching! I appreciate you taking the time to comment, I truly hope it helped you out. 🙏

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, I truly appreciate you. On the plastics, the parts that were really sun faded I used a heat gun “gingerly” to bring the color back and then I went over the whole unit with tire shine. Sprayed on, wiped down, repeated until it looked good. Has always worked pretty well for me. Thanks again 👍

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment. Good luck on the project! 🙏

Thank you for watching. Yes, sounds the same. Try bleeding the slave cylinder first. I think I covered if it’s leaking on the inside or in the engine bay in the video. That will confirm for you if it’s the master or not. Sounds like that’s the issue though. Good luck, hope that’s the problem. Thanks again for checking out the video.

Thanks for watching. My immediate thought, without seeing the car, is that it sounds like your starter is bad or the starter fuse has blown. Did you try push starting? It could also be a key/ignition issue. If you have a way to bypass the ignition and use a “bump” or button starter connected directly to the starter that may rule out the ignition at least. With the stall and then not being able to restart it definitely sounds like an electrical issue. If you have any other information I’m happy to help. Thanks again for reaching out.

Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for watching and your question. I have, and it is a pain, lol. It helps if you have a set of spark plug boot removal pliers, Amazon/eBay. You will also need a 3/8 swivel extension to reach at least 2 of the plugs. You can do it without the swivel but it helps. There are a couple videos on TH-cam that do a good job walking you through the process.

Lol! So glad it was helpful. Truly appreciate you watching and taking a minute to comment. 🙏

Awesome!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Who would of thought one little thing would cause so many issues? Take care.

Wow! That is so great!! I’m so glad it helped. Thank you so very much for watching and taking the time to comment. I sincerely appreciate it. Take care.

Not so much on the battery but the other symptoms do sound right on par. If his alternator is failing it will have similar issues as the ones you described as well. If the car has been sitting for a while and the coolant temp sensor is not working properly it will be very very difficult to start. Hope this helps. Thank you very much for reaching out and watching.

Hi Adam, did replacing the sensor end up fixing your issue? I have the same problem on my bettle. The car currently won't go

@user-lx1ik7fv2p I replaced the sensor which is easy and didn't cost much at all.. same issues so I also replaced the starter, this did fix the start issue but in the end I think the alternator is bad because I drove the car and left it running and everytime without fail the battery seemed to go completely dead and wouldn't start again.. I did have the battery tested and guys at the shop said battery is holding a charge.. I replaced the starter because I charged the battery and put it back in and no start, after I replaced the starter it did start but like I said, battery is not charging now..

@flippinnuts1 I think this car I worked on has 3 fold.. the sensor, starter and the alternator were all failing!! Lol

@@adamc4155 Definitely sounds like it’s keeping you on your toes, lol. They can test the alternator for you free of charge at most any of the big box parts stores. You’ll get it, no doubts. Just for kicks check your main ground connection too. Couldn’t hurt. Take care, happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Cool! Good luck, they can be finicky but they are easy to work on and fun cars. Appreciate you checking in and watching.

Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes, mine was out because I was replacing that in another video. But yes, that too was replaced. That was actually what led me to the Coolant Temp Sensor. Even if the MAF is disconnected the car will start, it runs like crap, but it will start. Mine wouldn’t, for a long long long time, lol. After I replaced the CTS she literally starts up right away now. I appreciate you, thanks again. 🙏

Oh man, I hope you got her home safe. You got this! Keep me posted. Thank you for checking. 👍

@@flippinnuts1 home safe 🙏, Copy I'll keep u 📫

Appreciate you checking out the video. The car in the video is gas. If you are having this issue and are experiencing similar symptoms it should work on either model.

Thank you so much for commenting and watching. Never ever gets old hearing that this has helped people out.

Thank you 🙏, really glad it helped you. Appreciate you checking out the video and taking time to comment.

Thank you for watching and asking. I have not put the third one up yet. I apologize for not getting it posted but I’m hoping to have it up soon.

Hey Mark, thank you for checking in, and watching. You absolutely can have your Freon evacuated and then put back in after service to your system. You may be able to go to your local parts house and rent, (borrow), one. But some a/c shops will do it for you too. Harbor Freight sells them too and you know they’ll be on sale, lol. Shouldn’t take you long it’s a pretty simple process. Good luck, thank you again, hope this helps.

Thank you for watching and checking in with your project. That’s so cool that you took the bull by the horns and did it yourself. Made my day! 🙏

Appreciate you Rodney, thanks for checking out the video.

Thank you for checking in, appreciate you watching. Not sure what you’ve checked but it could be a few things. Simple things first, check for cracks in the overflow tank, check the radiator cap, if it’s bad it’ll do that. Check all the hose clamps, make sure they are all tight and look for any signs of leaks on the hoses. Sometimes it’ll be hard to see so run your finger along the bottom side of the clamps to feel for moisture. After that, if it’s using water and your not seeing any obvious leaks you might have a water pump on the way out. If you’re not overheating then your thermostat is probably okay. Good luck, hopefully this helps. Take care.

These are pretty notorious for bad valve cover gasket seal. Pretty common for people to “tighten” when they start leaking. At that point they just need to be changed, tightening actually makes it worse. Rubber gasket flattens out. Appreciate you checking in, good luck on the head gasket, good project to take on.

@@flippinnuts1 yea, thanks, i got the 1.8L petrol engine and it drinks oil and i get frequent error codes on sylinder 3, i changed alott of things but i have now backed the car into the garage and is gonna just swap out the headgasket :), thinking of changing the water pump and other things while im at it.

@@lol2k77 I hear you. Good on ya sir! If you can post video it’d probably help a lot of folks. Pretty common repairs on these but not a lot of video. If you are taking the head off no doubt that water pump is a good thing to replace. Sure you already checked the coil on 3. Be interested to hear how it turns out too. 🍻

Thank you sir for checking out the video. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. I literally saw 5 deer on the side of the road today. Crazy, not sure what’s going on but that’s the most I’ve seen in a while. Explorer still going strong and the a/c is still ice cold, lol. Keep on trucking, thank you again for taking the time.

😂 no way. i have a 03 with 200k miles on it , have you had to change the transmission?

That’s really cool. They are great to work on. Honestly I prefer these older skis for that reason and it doesn’t hurt that you can usually find them pretty cheap, lol. Good luck with the project. 👍 Thank you very much for watching and checking in too. 🙏

Hey there John. That is awesome!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I truly appreciate you. So glad it helped you out.

Hey Chuck, I’m just seeing this post, were you able to get her going??

@@flippinnuts1 Thanks for replying, I did change the coolant temp sensor, but it didn’t solve the problem so I had it towed to my mechanic

@@chuckpistella6795 , I hate that, hopefully it’s something simple like a fuel pump. Fingers crossed 🤞. Thanks again.

He’s always close by, huge help. I’m very blessed with the best kiddos a guy could ever imagine having.

I hear you, thank you for taking the time to comment. I’ll see if I can get that tripod thing figured out, lol.

Hey, thanks for taking a sec to comment. That is really cool. I agree, great machine. Kind of have to use one to really get it. Thanks again.

Hey, thank you for watching and taking a second to ask. I would say that you’ll never learn if you don’t try. If you have an engine hoist and some basic tools then you should be able to handle the job. It’s just time consuming. If you’ve never done a project like yours make sure to be patient and give yourself some grace. I’m hoping to have the third video out soon. It’s been a while but finally getting finished up. You got this!
