Joe...Thank you for the time spent showing your process and repair techniques. As a fellow Wisconsinite who works a similar field, I can appreciate the effort you put in to your channel. With the space you have and work environment, I wouldnt waste my time cleaning every nook and cranny to please people who don't work on these daily. When I worked at a Kubota dealership, I couldnt justify the added time and cost of making machines spotless and the customer definately would not want to pay me to do it (150 per hour shop time). I can see on a collector machine restoration for show, but not the common machine. Not to mention it's 7 degrees this morning and its not effective to try and powerwash in these temps and wait for the ice to melt off. I guess the average troll doesn't realize the time it takes to film and explain the important stuff and make a video worth watching. Most real mechanics will not criticize and just enjoy the content, knowing the work and effort involved. Keep your head up, your a trooper and I for one...enjoy your content and find it inspiring.
I agree with all of that except the cleaning part. These are not service vehicles, they are buy-fix-flip vehicles. Cleaner is always better for resale.
@@jameshisself7375 What's with the question mark, look at the house and two properties and vehicles. He must like doing it because there ain't enough bucks to pay for all that by flipping dirty junk.
@@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt You say rich but it is just a nice regular home in a not too expensive part of the country. Nice used cars. That is not rich by my definition. Nothing at all wrong with it either.
You have to bleed the cooling system at the motor , there's an air bubble at your temp sensor causing the code. Little 8mm screws on top of the plastic fitting beside the sensor and there's one beside the thermostat too
I’ve done a couple rzr 800’s. even though they have bleed screw, steam builds up on motor side, I still have to crack the thermostat housing apart to get water flowing. Then it’s good.
Joe. any of us here that has worked on, bikes, fourwheelers, utvs, cars, even lawnmowers long enough have made mistakes!! Sometimes there costly mistakes. But you learn from them. I'm sure this wasn't your first and as you go forward you will have many more. You do a fine job at what you do young Man! Better then alot i have seen! Never stop learning it's how we grow!
@stkyfngrszmooth I've been on Joe's channel for a few years now, and can bet you Joe didn't lose any money on this project. He's a good businessman as well as an excellent mechanic, and my best guess is that the parts alone on this quad will sell for a lot more than Joe kicked out. Once or more a year Joe shows his inventory, and one thing you don't see is a bunch of unfinished projects laying around rotting. Joe was honest as he always is, and admitted his mistakes, fixed them and here we are. Great video Joe!
Great video! I’m an ASE Master Technician. The fact the you showed your mistake is a true testament to your character. God speed my friend. I watch you as often as I can.
For me the showing and fixing a "mistake" is way more valuable than showing how to put together things. Don't get me wrong, all other things is very useful and educational, but when you as an experienced mechanic also makes mistakes and then showing the process of trying to fix your mistake is priceless!
Top of the morning to everyone I am a auto mechanic I usually watch Joe channel, just a reminder Joe when you rebuild a engine always disconnect your spark plug wires or your electrical power lines to your coils roll over your engine until oil pressure comes up then plug them back up before starting your newly rebuilt engine
Respect for talking about mistakes because it makes other people feel ok when they make mistakes. It also makes me like you even more…. It’s just so much better to have no ego about mistakes who cares mistakes happen all the time.
I would just like to say that I don't watch this channel to learn how to operate a pressure washer. I enjoy watching the trouble shooting, repair and success of those two things. I am amazed at how many "half empty glass" folks come here to complain.
When you first started I was telling myself. “That isn’t running on both cylinders”. Glad you figured it out! A quick compression test at the beginning would have told you it was 180 out!
I'm certainly not an expert UTV mechanic, in all honesty I've never worked on one, but I have worked on my motorcycles, and built engines for my race cars for years and the very first time you started it, it sounded to me like the timing was off.... Have I made any mistakes over the years ? Yep, we all do, and it doesn't matter how long you have been doing it. Glad you are finally getting it sorted out.
Totally agree. I am 64 and been following Joe from the start. I used to know more but now I often learn from him. A young man with a fantastic work ethic too.
I've been wrenching for 55 years. A few years ago I rebuilt the upper end of my TRX 400EX. Before starting it the first time, I moved some cardboard under it and noticed the cylinder hold-down bolts laying there. Do over!
That starter still sounds like it is weak when trying to crank it after the new battery was installed. I would probably try and find a high output starter for it. Enjoy watching your videos.
Aside from all the labor/research hours spent, the hours searching for and driving involved to buy a few machines per month has got to add up .... this aint no cakewalk part-time easy-money job 😅
for sure the labor you don't count.. cause u do it your self and the hourse researching how to fix something also so yeah if yoou count the hoours you spend (like paying a garage to fix it its never worth it)
Nice work my friend. Great troubleshooting skills. A rig that won't run is usually simple to fix. A rig that runs, but won't run right is much harder to diagnose.
From Top Gun. “A good pilot is compelled to always evaluate what's happened. So he can apply what he's learned.” Same principle applies here. Good work Joe. Keep learning.
You have the skills, the correct attitude and the ethics. Good job ! I really enjoy your videos and all the troubleshooting. I am 60+ and bending wrenches since I was old enough to pick one up, I learn something from nearly every video. Thanks !
Did anyone else grit there teeth as the engine slowly went into a dirty compartment?! Mind you its going to get dirty again but.. 🤔 😅 Love the content!❤
Fantastic videos Joe! But for your safety please get some 10 lb fire extinguishers installed on the wall . Your garage is now a shop get pro active . 🇨🇦
Don't worry about making mistakes, don't forget you've repaired machines that the so called experts couldn't do ,keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching, good luck from UK👍
It was way louder after the build, reminded me of a gas power golf cart. After timing properly sounds smooth. Very inspiring seeing you here providing good content not all are willing to say I fucked up. But in doing life for those who watch will never forget the power of 180°
JOE JOE JOE , PROBLEM ADVICE , Remove the negative side of the battery , find both Fuses to each relay and Remove them and Check them out , On my 2012 I had the same problem ... Had a 11 month old battery that was total sh*t , thank you Battery Plus you lost my business after 3 batteries and warranty my rear .... just try to collect , 11 month old new battery and accused my machine with having problems that caused them to go bad every 11 month... low battery CCA problem it was . Sorry, JOE.... Try those two Fuses they may have burnt when having in the bad battery and trying to crank it with low amperage and then high and another thing is look at what cranking amp you need , almost everyone selling low CCA when most machines need about 700 and up CCA ! Good luck, and may this be it ! Great video, as always, Great troubleshooting skills and stop underestimating your skills , Diagnosing with a mete, all others is true knowledge - troubleshooting ! Peace from Alaska .
There was nothing wrong with the battery. It still wouldn't turn over properly with a new battery. Engine was out of time causing high compression on the cylinder
Hey, we all make mistakes, Joe! You used that as a learning experience and shared it with all of us, very cool of you to do so. It's all good. I remember doing timing belts on an old Subaru car we had years ago, forgot to rotate the crank through a full turn before doing the 2nd timing belt, ran on 2 cylinders and not real well! Once I discovered my "oops" move(180 deg. out), easy enough to fix it, thankfully the engine was a freewheeling engine so nothing got bent and it ran properly for several more years until we got rid of the car. Thanks for a great video series, will look forward to seeing the 1st test rip on this thing!
i recognized the sound of a misfire the second you turned it over the first time. it sounded like a 1 banger the whole time. always feel exhaust pipes.
Excellent video Joe! Good on you for the updates and admitting where you messed up. Excellent content as always sir! To quote my grandad... "Boy, it aint a mistake as long as you learn from it" 😄
Love your video's, and totally agree with the comments about showing your mistakes. Just shows that you are a stand-up guy and makes your videos very relatable to the rest of us normal people that sometimes make mistakes.
I would have power washed the engine compartment before dropping in the engine and everything with it while working my way out. That to myself would have been the best time, would also look fantastic as well. Great work on the rebuild Joe!
Thank you for the heads up on a mistake that any of us could easily make , thank you for your patience and editing , thank you for a great channel that every time we tune in we find another reason for loving this great channel a little more💯🎯
sometimes you can disconnect the battery and the turn on the light switch on to draw any voltage out of the computer, a lot of times the computer will hold some voltage so when you replace a battery you dont lose all the settings.
Bravo for admitting your mistake. More than a few YT channels wouldn't have...Just make up some sort of story to pad their views...Great video..glad you figured it out.
Joe needs to go to the car wash BEFORE he works on stuff. I am amazed at the things he doesn't do or doesn't have. His lack of overall tools and stuff is crazy for the amount of stuff he works on. I wonder how many years before he gets a lift. He got a spark plug test machine though, LOL
I could hear what sounded like a loose rocker before you re-timed and got the 2nd cylinder running. Glad you caught it. We all make those type of mistakes. Those that say they don't are fibbing or don't actually do this type work.
Fair play for owing your mistake Joe, still cant get my head round why you didn't clean the thing while you had the engine out, I just couldn't work with all that dirt left on the machine
Think about this, after rebuilding 300+ engines he still hasn't got a parts washer and it's not like he can't afford one. He is a dirty mechanic and doesn't want to up his game. I would never buy something from him or let him repair something from me.
@@gavinlogie1944 and he lives in a $million house. He needs a vapour honing machine. Putting that freshly rebuilt engine back in looking like it did, shamefull.
I have F'ed up so many timing marks doing chains on engines. I now stop when I think I have it correct, take a break, review service/reference material and come back and recheck. Last straw was the 28 hour job I mistimed and had to redo.
For a Chinese manufactured brand i do have to say the overall build quality is pretty good, especially for the price. I bought a 21' cforce 500 ( Atv) or my wife. Power steering, wench, four-wheel drive, diff lock. $7500 out the door. It flooded that year and ALL our quads were floating underwater... Except for hers lol. As soon as the flood was gone we changed all the filters and thin oil several times. I completely forgot the cvt quads has separate transmission. A year later after we went to go for first ride, the Arcticat transmission were toast. Cf moto needed a throttle position sensor. The suspension is not anywhere near as good as like a Honda or Yamaha but for the price it has been a great quad.
@@robertdelinsky7247 The cfmoto spent 3 days in the shop when it got repaired. I need to order $800 to fix the two Arctic cat Alterra 300's. I'll see how long it's going to be for those parts. It's a Chinese brand to now, maybe it always was, don't know. Hasn't been my experience yet.
The bottom line is that you figured it out. I don't think anyone can claim not to make mistakes every once in a while, luckily you only lost some time and maybe patience lol.😂👍❤
My respect and admiration for you, which was already high, grew tremendously after watching this video. You could have easily edited the mistake out and we would have never known it. But admitting it and showing it helps both you and us become better mechanics and better people. One thing about CFmoto is it will either make you a good mechanic or a former owner. 🤣
I enjoy watching your videos and you are a very honest person. It’s telling everybody that you made a mistake and you do learn from your mistakes. I know I have on cars so I wanna keep on watching your videos.
No worries mate, we don’t care if you do it wrong then fix it cos we benefit from all your work, mistakes or not.cheers from Scotland🍻🍻🏴🏴🏴
Agree with the consensus of cleaning the utv. It's a good thing to do when installing a rebuilt motor with all the fuel lines, oil and coolant but dam i was even more shocked when you cut the bearings down. That's nuts! Even though I seem like I'm hating i love the videos.
Nice recovery Joe!!Admitting to making mistakes is a tough thing for people to do,just goes to show your integrity 💪💪💪 Keep it up and keep the videos coming ✌️&🙏from Pa.
Awesome job man, very few could tackle that project, even fewer could figure out their mistakes and fix them plus make it into a learning experience for everyone watching, I have a 1884 Yamaha tri moto 225 DX that I'm restoring, slow but sure, learned a lot from the video you put out on that machine, I learned a lot, appreciate you sharing your mistakes , most learn better from that, 👍
It’s American slang but has British origins. “……Finagle is probably a variant of fainaigue, a British dialect term with two meanings: “to shirk work or responsibility” and “to renege at a card game”
Love how people obsess over dirt on a frame that’s gonna be recovered in dirt 2 minutes after you get it back up and running. Glad you didn’t have to totally disassemble the UTV to fix your mistake. Good work, Joe
With the access panel removed you should be able to Zesko-throttle it, if you’re comfortable with one-hand steering. Good to see it revived from the abusive home it was rescued from. 👍👍
You have a garage shop, why don't you put an inexpensive 110v winch above your workspace tied to the rafters? Seems to me that would be so much more helpful..
Made the same mistake when I did the top end on my old Teryx 750. I rotated it the wrong direction when timing the second cylinder. It would start and idle perfectly but trying to rev it up even a little would cause backfiring and not rev out. Read the service manual fully before assembling lol!
Nice to see some new cordless tools! You deserve them. You are proof that motivation and know how, is more effective than a shiny set of expensive tools!
The first thing I always do is get out my heat gun and make sure my exhaust temps are close. Use that heat gun all the time saves on if cylinders are working fully.
@ it’s a tool about 30 or 40 bucks is the cost. They are for shooting at anything you want to know the temperature of most have a laser that shows where you are pointing it. Ran nitro injected dragster for many years and off shore boats used the temperature gun to read the head temp the exhaust pipe temp. It’s the first thing I grab when anything comes into the shop.
One good thing about Joe not cleaning this UTV, is that it has triggered all those OCD watchers, and pushed them to comment about it. All this is good for engagement and helps the algorithm. Personally I hate working on dirty equipment, but then, I don't have Joe's skills, and I'm also not repairing such a variety of machines...and also filming and uploading them for free, for us all to watch. So I'm going to cut him some slack. lol
Bravo for admitting to your mistake, not simply replacing the engine. Happens to the best of us, working in a garage, Okay I did these three things, and it's ready to go. But what about the timing belt water pump? DOH!
stick a volt meter on the pinouts of the temp sensors (use a backprobe pint) usually it needs 5V, GND and signal. The signal pin should have variable output when temperature changes. a broken signal cable, bad ground could also cause false readings being fed back to the cpu. Another item, it seemed like the CVT wasn't doing much to change clutch position. Hopefully the computer isn't fried.
I like this guy. He could have easily edited the problem of incorrect timing completely out of the video and only showing that he did everything perfect. Says a bunch about his character, he's a stand-up guy, at least in my book. 👍

A simple mistake, however I love your honesty in telling us what actually was wrong, so many would not.
Enjoy your videos immensely.

I have F'ed up so many timing marks doing chains on engines. I now stop when I think I have it correct, take a break, review service/reference material and come back and recheck. Last straw was the 28 hour job I mistimed and had to redo.
I didn’t realize there was bleeder valves on the coolant lines so thanks for the info
For a Chinese manufactured brand i do have to say the overall build quality is pretty good, especially for the price. I bought a 21' cforce 500 ( Atv) or my wife. Power steering, wench, four-wheel drive, diff lock. $7500 out the door. It flooded that year and ALL our quads were floating underwater... Except for hers lol. As soon as the flood was gone we changed all the filters and thin oil several times. I completely forgot the cvt quads has separate transmission. A year later after we went to go for first ride, the Arcticat transmission were toast. Cf moto needed a throttle position sensor. The suspension is not anywhere near as good as like a Honda or Yamaha but for the price it has been a great quad.
And wait for parts forever
@@robertdelinsky7247 The cfmoto spent 3 days in the shop when it got repaired. I need to order $800 to fix the two Arctic cat Alterra 300's. I'll see how long it's going to be for those parts. It's a Chinese brand to now, maybe it always was, don't know. Hasn't been my experience yet.
None of us are infallible. Fair play to you for explaining the mistake and how you rectified it 👍
You took it on the chin like a trooper! Admirable, well done m8
this looks so much more fun and easy to work with then my cforce 600...had to take apart most of it just to change the heatshield under the gas tank
Joe… you are a machine… can’t wait to watch this when I get home
Great job and patience galore 👍
The bottom line is that you figured it out. I don't think anyone can claim not to make mistakes every once in a while, luckily you only lost some time and maybe patience lol.😂👍❤
My respect and admiration for you, which was already high, grew tremendously after watching this video. You could have easily edited the mistake out and we would have never known it. But admitting it and showing it helps both you and us become better mechanics and better people. One thing about CFmoto is it will either make you a good mechanic or a former owner. 🤣
lovely the morning uploads keep them coming
Everyone makes mistakes. Like ya said it’s a great way to learn more about what you are doing. Plus we get to learn. Great video man
Money pit looks like . This was a great learning experience for me. 😊😊😊
Seams nice genuine fella and a million times better mechanic than me regards from England
Joe use that dang hoist to put that rollbar on work smarter not harder !!!
I enjoy watching your videos and you are a very honest person. It’s telling everybody that you made a mistake and you do learn from your mistakes. I know I have on cars so I wanna keep on watching your videos.
Great attitude! Failure is the best learning.
I'll fast forward to the point where you get them running. You do great work !
Dirt and sand makes for an easier engine break in period.It also makes for great engine mounts especially when you’re frame has a nice layer of dirt.
😂
No worries mate, we don’t care if you do it wrong then fix it cos we benefit from all your work, mistakes or not.cheers from Scotland🍻🍻🏴🏴🏴
Agree with the consensus of cleaning the utv. It's a good thing to do when installing a rebuilt motor with all the fuel lines, oil and coolant but dam i was even more shocked when you cut the bearings down. That's nuts!
Even though I seem like I'm hating i love the videos.
Nice recovery Joe!!Admitting to making mistakes is a tough thing for people to do,just goes to show your integrity 💪💪💪 Keep it up and keep the videos coming ✌️&🙏from Pa.
one thing is still the same, the unlubricated wheels of the engine hoist still sound like a sick goat....
I think one of the brakes is on. I noticed one of the wheels was not pivoting when he was moving it.
you get it done...!
Awesome job man, very few could tackle that project, even fewer could figure out their mistakes and fix them plus make it into a learning experience for everyone watching, I have a 1884 Yamaha tri moto 225 DX that I'm restoring, slow but sure, learned a lot from the video you put out on that machine, I learned a lot, appreciate you sharing your mistakes , most learn better from that, 👍
I will be using the word "Fanegal" from now on!! defo not a word used here in the UK. Loving your work Joe, keep it up fella!!
Fin-eggle, a great word for tinkering solutions ❤!
Common word to use in my part of scotland
It’s American slang but has British origins. “……Finagle is probably a variant of fainaigue, a British dialect term with two meanings: “to shirk work or responsibility” and “to renege at a card game”
Well every day is a school day for me!! thank you very much for the clarification and also the spelling. Never been a strength of mine. 🤣
Hi Joe.
I have done the same mistake years ago on a 1986 honda Vt 1100😅😅😅.

Love how people obsess over dirt on a frame that’s gonna be recovered in dirt 2 minutes after you get it back up and running. Glad you didn’t have to totally disassemble the UTV to fix your mistake. Good work, Joe
True but if you going to sell it, well a clean machine sells quicker at the price you are happy with.
It's guys like you that keep him supplied with all these machines.
Having a clean slate to work with is basic mechanics. I'd hate to see what your backside looks like after pinching a loaf. 😳.... 😫
@@stkyfngrszmooth That's a pretty rude and uncalled for statement.
@porterhillbilly The ignorance of the original post deserves it imo. He knows nothing about basic mechanics.
With the access panel removed you should be able to Zesko-throttle it, if you’re comfortable with one-hand steering. Good to see it revived from the abusive home it was rescued from. 👍👍
You have a garage shop, why don't you put an inexpensive 110v winch above your workspace tied to the rafters? Seems to me that would be so much more helpful..
Made the same mistake when I did the top end on my old Teryx 750. I rotated it the wrong direction when timing the second cylinder. It would start and idle perfectly but trying to rev it up even a little would cause backfiring and not rev out. Read the service manual fully before assembling lol!
You have the patience of a Saint Joe!
Joe that’s why I enjoy ur videos u are honest and plus makes anyone else doing one don’t forget.
Nice to see some new cordless tools! You deserve them. You are proof that motivation and know how, is more effective than a shiny set of expensive tools!
I also noticed he has embraced the Red side!
We learn from your successes, and mistakes. Thanks a lot.
The first thing I always do is get out my heat gun and make sure my exhaust temps are close. Use that heat gun all the time saves on if cylinders are working fully.
What do you mean by "heat gun"?
@ it’s a tool about 30 or 40 bucks is the cost. They are for shooting at anything you want to know the temperature of most have a laser that shows where you are pointing it. Ran nitro injected dragster for many years and off shore boats used the temperature gun to read the head temp the exhaust pipe temp. It’s the first thing I grab when anything comes into the shop.
@walteranderson1245 I thought that's what you meant. I call it a laser thermometer. Offshore boats huh? Reggie Fountain. The king of offshore!!!
@ yea sorry should have said temperature gun and fountain boats always been one of the best
Glad you figured it out, really enjoy watching your videos!
You Sir are a 'Steely-eyed Motor Cycle Man'! Thank you so much for sharing.
Love the growl from that thing. Nice work!
One good thing about Joe not cleaning this UTV, is that it has triggered all those OCD watchers, and pushed them to comment about it. All this is good for engagement and helps the algorithm. Personally I hate working on dirty equipment, but then, I don't have Joe's skills, and I'm also not repairing such a variety of machines...and also filming and uploading them for free, for us all to watch.
So I'm going to cut him some slack. lol
Agreed!
He knows exactly what he's doing 😏
Bravo for admitting to your mistake, not simply replacing the engine. Happens to the best of us, working in a garage, Okay I did these three things, and it's ready to go. But what about the timing belt water pump? DOH!
stick a volt meter on the pinouts of the temp sensors (use a backprobe pint) usually it needs 5V, GND and signal. The signal pin should have variable output when temperature changes. a broken signal cable, bad ground could also cause false readings being fed back to the cpu. Another item, it seemed like the CVT wasn't doing much to change clutch position. Hopefully the computer isn't fried.
Nice work!
Look forward to the next project.
