I'm so happy to help you out. I experienced the same ah ha moment when I learned it too. I can imagine how many good switches are in the trash. Thank you for watching.

Def time well spent on the trails every time. This Coleman is hand brakes only. I've thought about adding a foot brake setup, but the frame doesn't have mounts, and it just doesn't seem to be worth the troubles. I did switch the hand brakes L to R, so the brake setup was like my sons mt. bike, easier for him to remember, which is fr/rear. A serviceable carb is a must-have. Cleaning the bowl helps solve many headaches. I hope you get her back together and on the trails. I do see these bikes for sale a lot, all torn down. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching and subscribing.

It is difficult to diagnose without being hands-on, but maybe I can help with some ideas. Healthy fully charged battery? Correct spark plug? Check for spark? Fresh gasoline? Clean carb? No issues with safety features like brake switch, kill switch, etc. that prevent start? Try to crank over without throttle and just the choke on. These engines, when cold, don't like to compress too much fuel and air until warmed up, which could be the slow crank. Try these steps, and check for loose wire connections, too. Fun but poor build quality. Hopefully, you find a solution, and if not, then perhaps I'd blame a weak starter. Long winded reply, and I appreciate you watching and subscribing. Good luck.

That's awesome to hear. Honda did a nice job on the design, which helps us on the maintenance side. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and subscribing.

Thank you.

Watch O6:35. The starter should spin without 12v.

@ thanks! I did see that which was what made me question the starter I have. Already requested a new one from Amazon.

19mm

Awesome to hear! Thank you for watching.

Great! Thank you for watching.

Thanks for watching.

No timing needed for the starter. Just be sure the chain is properly on the gears. Thank you for watching.

Would there be enough room? These atvs really have some limited space between the engine and frame. 1 more mod I was thinking is a fresh air tube/snorkel shooting into the airbox. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I can say the bike has been its most reliable with this setup. Thanks for watching, my friend.

Slept great, though. 😆

@NOURSEPOWER 😂😂

Your brake lights will stay on.

I don't know the condition of your plastics. You can start with a higher grit in a small area around where maybe you boot is to see how it's going to go. I understand being cautious, but wet sanding plastic is not like when wet sanding a painted item. I hope things work out for what you're looking for. Thank you for reaching out.

Also the sanding is to clean and smooth out the roughness. The heat brings out the gloss. Throughout the steps they'll look cleaner, smoother and dull. Then, brighten back out with heat. Then I toss on the shine protectant to really brighten her up and help condition the plastics too

Thank you for watching.

Surprisingly, very well. The Nibbi carb is doing great also. Honestly, this atv is running and riding better than new. It took some time and work to iron out its flaws but has since earned my trust. Thank you for reaching out.

@@NOURSEPOWER I just picked up one of those ATV's for free, but it needs work. Looks like new wiring, throttle and brake controls, and fuel system for sure.

@brich2929 awesome. Plenty of good websites for parts outside of ebay and amazon. One i like is Vmcchineseparts.com

Ebay Honda Trx 250x carb est.$40. Seems to be doing well.

You're welcome 😊. Thanks for watching

I'm using the jets that came with the Nibbi carb.

Thanks for watching ❤️

I love he agrees but really didn't understand. 😆 Always fun sharing with the next gen. Thank you for watching.

I agree on it being a very minor adjustment. As mileage goes up, I may fully go 5w to keep that oil where it needs to protect. Longevity is more important to me than mpg and emissions. Thanks for reaching out and watching.

Valid points made. Def far from the 70's when tossing in some 20w cleared up some symptoms. 😆 Thanks for reaching out and watching.

It’s not for tolerances it’s for fuel economy and emissions, thinner weight easier to spin. It does cut down on longevity

Engines are def built with tighter tolerances vs earlier generations. But, I do feel manufactures are forced to make mpg and emissions over longevity. If it breaks, come on in a buy a new one. It's got shinier buttons. 😆 Thanks for reaching out and watching.

40w.... smh

Wow! Thank you, my friend. This quad tossed me for a loop with some maintenance work. Some things are like over complicated, like tightening the chain. Please keep an eye on the hardware backing off. Smh. Thank you for watching and reaching out.

@@NOURSEPOWER we have the exact same one. Just an absolute huge heads up swap the air intake in the carburetor and you'll get a lot better use out of it. Sounds like a pissed off lawn mower. You're welcome brother and thanks again saved me a headache

i replaced the original air filter, it does sound like a pissed off lawnmower indeed, sounds better, and seems to have more of a response time

@LostredneckinTX awesome! Not to bad of bikes, you just need to work out the kinks. Thanks for watching

It was a very humid, hot day. My guy stuck it out, though. Thank you for watching.

It was fun, I look forward to working on more with him. ❤️ thanks for watching.

I'm not 100% what you're asking. Purchase tie rods for your year, make, and model. I suggest staying away from the cheap ones. Thank you for watching.

I'm not 100%, but I believe they can be pressed out, but are the parts available? I'd have to look into that. I haven't done this yet, but guys have cut them off, drilled out the hole in the a-arm, and added a bolt on adjustable heim joint. Might be something to look into or just drop the 💰 on aftermarket a-arms. If I ever need to do this, I'll make a video. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

I'm really happy to hear. I prefer a positive brake pedal over .7 mpg 😉. If you have a slight grab, possible a poorly cut drum if all is installed correctly. Perhaps back off a click or so to try to find a happy medium. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you very much for reaching out and watching. 🤘😄

Thanks, I was hoping it would come together pretty decent. Thank you for watching.

Monster kicked in! 😆

Yep, I love it when he comes to help with some stuff in the shop. He's pretty comfortable in front of the camera.

He did a really great job! I'm looking forward to him jumping in more in the future. ❤️

Yep, struggles were had, but mission completed. Thank you for watching.

You're welcome. Thank you for watching and letting me know. If you have one of these, I wish you the best of luck. This bike has been a struggle to keep trail worthy.

Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching

😆 🤣 Thanks for watching

He's nice, eye candy!

I swear that's the same jar of anti seize since we bought our house in 2007!

@RachelPower-qn4pl a little smear goes a looong ways. If it actually lasted that long it would come with a loan application 🙃

I don't know, he had a little bit of attitude there at first! lol

@jackiemattox2715 that's a new guy.... thinking they know it all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks
