Hey I'm just wondering but I live in your area and I see you ride on those trails and little off road bits and I was wondering if those are ok to ride on or if I have to ask the owner of the land if I could ride on them or if they are just ok to ride on.
2 wheels good 4 wheels bad, Kx...Kx....Kx....
"Dont want to break it, not my quad"
Full sends anyway
Nice job finding the problem and correcting it! That's a clean 400!👍
Big plug on bottom of bowl is for main jet change. Out in the field or on the track. When applicable can just loosen carb up on machine and rotate to get to it and boom Nascar style main jet change.
Good job, runs great! Keep up the cool videos!
Link arm set is still available if you order it for a later trx400 carb, costs 38 bucks thru Partzilla. It has that little spring in it.
Oh, and turn your idle speed down, it idles too high when warmed up.
Sounds like the muffler needs repacked to.
That’s what I was thinking sounds kinda crap tbh
Sounds good
yeah sounds like crap
Yeah it does sounds like sh **
@@woodrowousley5977 nahhh
Can you do top speed tests on the 400ex’s and the ltz400 please
I am a 450 guy all the way but that 400ex is going to be in my garage soon. Super cool quad.
GT FAM IN THE BUILDING 🚀💫
no backpressure on that pipe at all try n repack it
could of got a ebay one for 43.00 and use that for parts
Still can’t believe u bought a house in “town”. Not much growth for 2vintage headquarters. Oh yea, and thanks for the advice on testing electrical systems on 2stroke dirt bikes lol
Looking to expand soon. The housing market is crazy right now.
@@2vintage very, very true!!
yeah not really good for someone testing and fixing things with engines.... but hey some have a garage with big ratrods and bikes and neigbours baddaddybrad and he still lives there just limited in space
oh okay people complains.... that sucks that is the worst.... people complaining about noise and even worse you driving on the road and they complain. i hate that... i drive my dirt bike in my garder and on the road on the road i have the right and in my garder i mean they are 100m away so dont complain u came living here after me..
Link arm shaft spring is what that is called that failed. Lol Ida bought a Chinese carb for $40 and robbed the part off it. In the factory service manual it does come apart. Of course can't just buy the spring through Honda, it was sold as a link arm kit no long available. I have a mix of Chinese parts on my oem Keihin carb on my 400 worked great. Was only missing few bits here and there. Never could get the Chinese carb to jet right.
Why not replace the spring and save $234 ;-;
or he couldve bought a good rebuild kit for 40$ smh
By the time you order all the parts for the carburetor and replace them all, it pretty much adds up to $230. Plus what of the spring and lever didn't fix it? Then you would have to buy a new carb anyway. Also, the customer was able to sell the old carburetor for parts and make some money back.
@@2vintage Interesting, but that’s one pricy carb. 😂
@@backyardrestorations yeah damn 200€ i would bought a knock off...
@@reggiexp69 me too.
Z400 and 400ex my fav quad
Recheck the spark plug.
He just put a new spark plug that’s why it didn’t start at first
As pops would say “ you don’t know shit!”. Wonder if the customer is going to feel cheated knowing you didn’t even clean out or look at the old carb, didn’t even clean the slide and make sure the needle wasn’t bent 😂. Might be surprised what cleaning it could’ve done
@UCJGbKAsnfGEj3ArLbMCgxKQ “it’s amazing that they don’t over heat, since they don’t have antifreeze” get real guy.
He did go through the old carb in the last video. To me the dummy move was not fixing the old carb instead of spending$230 on a carb from Honda. Coulda saved the owner a ton of money. Now the owner just had to pay prolly $600 or $700 repair bill for a carb replacement
That would of been a easier fix and a lot cheaper
One for sure to just do a clean out properly going to keep the old carburetor and put it on his I've heard it done before maybe the customer just said to put a new one on it but I hope the customer watches and reads comments
@@grandpa-of-3898 we've all seen Joe jb weld a hole in a head on a quad he was flipping instead of replacing the head to maximize his profits but when it's someone else's money he's like yep $230 carb is the only solution. Surely the owner had to be like so my carb has a bad spring, can you replace the spring? At which point joe would have had to either say yeah but..... Or no because..... in order to justify a new carb
It would be a lot different if it was a piece of crap he bought and just to get it running but it's another thing if he's going to sale it or in this case fix it for a custom just isn't right like I said I hope the customer is reading this and yeah the JB weld on the head lmfao that got me laughing so hard
Those 400’s are the best
nope
@@dawsthibert1810 yep
The spring wasn't bad the carb was just dirty. I've had the same problem and all I had to do was thoroughly clean the carb, some wd40 and worked fine. $10 fix
I cleaned it multiple times
When it happened to me I had to keep working the spring back and forth while spraying carb cleaner eventually it loosened up pretty good. Then I used wd40 to help lubricate it.
Go back to the original main on the carb its breaking up a little on the top end. Never mess with factory settings because of personal beliefs. If it's factory keep it factory. Not hitting rev limiter is starving for fuel in to end
Can't use factory setting with hot cam and aftermarket pipe.
How would going 7 jet sizes smaller fix it starving for fuel? The stock carb had 148 jet, he put 155 in it…
Could you not just replace the bad spring instead of the entire carb?
I was thinking the same thing, instead of buying a new carb he could off replaced the spring
@@cheto2952 The spring wasn't bad the carb was just dirty. I've had the same problem and all I had to do was thoroughly clean the carb, some carb cleaner, wd40 and worked fine. $10 fix
Good move replacing the carb you could spend hours trying to sort the old carb out no telling what other people have done to it in the past 230 is not much for a new carb
Yeah that's what I figured. I don't know what the previous people did to it so I figured new carb is easiest way to go!
That’s it 230 for a new carb is very cheap plus it new so u know no more problems down the track for a while as trying to fix the old carb who knows how long it would last before more problems arise
You can get carbs for 50 bucks, just bought one for mine
Heck yah nice when it’s an easy fix always enjoy your videos can’t Waite for next one to come out
Always gotta be that "ONE" neighbor????? Your not hurting anyone!
Just read @Jack Dewinter comment , thats a great point , must of crossed peoples minds , what a bad design fault by honda , would be so much better if the spring could be replaced instead of scrapping a whole carb , every days a school day , well done 2Vintage at fault finding
i had a 250ex sporttrax with a stage 2 clutch in it.i always wanted to get the 400ex sporttex.would be a nice bike sounds very good.
That muffler tho
Almost 200k, lets go!
Damn was here since 6 k
Loving the vids man!!, Keep up the good work!.
Damn that exhaust sounds like ass!! Great video tho, glad you found the problem seems to run really good now!
Fr😂
Sounds so shit
Love the content! Keep up the great work Joe 👍👍👍👍
Can’t beat genuine Honda parts
Race the ltz on that it would be a very good race
There heavy
Dang let me drop off my 300ex at your place for a couple weeks haha. Love it man, good job.
Looks like the spring and link parts are still available from Honda so may not have needed to swap the whole carb. Running good now though.
Sweet video, keep them coming!
Why have you adjusted the idle so high?
Nice job curing this quad.
I would like to say I love your channel and I am inspired from what you do and I would also like to know what state do you live in it seems like you find very good deals compared to where I live a 250r or banshee are 6500-7k for a decent quad thanks
Thank you!
MORE 400ex PLEASE
I would have at least checked the plug after the rejet.for all you know it's burning a hole in the piston and you wouldn't know it.thats what ur getting paid for.not guessing....
Bravo 👏🏼 for buying a genuine carb instead of a Chinese
Another problem well tracked down and fixed 👍🏼👍🏼
I have a 1994 Honda 300ex. Whenever I let off the gas after higher rpm’s it backfires a lot. What do you think would be the problem.
Have you checked the valve clearances?
Yes I have
Probably running lean..
Generally a backfire after a hard rev is a lean condition, your main jet is to lean most likely. As far as the post above. Signs to know your valves are out of whack it will be hard to start. It’s not your valves it’s a jetting issue
@@joshmartineau3781 exactly what I’m thinking. This guys a guesser and internet researcher
I never comment but will you please shift when you get it up in a wheelie .
You’re genuinely awesome!
Do a ride video on your og cr250 been awhile since it’s been on video
Where did u find new oem carb..thanks
He said I’m gonna take it easy on it’s not my quad smacks rev limiter flying through the field
Good job.
Miss the YSR 50 content.
what a pick i would denial it and say there out for me
It looks cool👍👍👍👍
Great video
2v timeeeee. Let's goooo bois
That's a fast 400
Could have changed the main by taking the 17mm nut off instead of taking the bowl off ......plonka
For 700 bucks all in , thats a good deal
😆
Six hours the Honda shop around here charges 100 dollars a hour you should open your own shop so you can charge that much
Should open a franchise by this stage
awesome video
Damn I remember when Charlie was a yb now look at him
How come you use the trailer and not truck bed?
easier to load and unload
It's idled kinda high
Sounds sweeeeeeeet 😎
can u put the link to the carburetor u bought ?
Search on Amazon get a knock off they are only 50 bucks and work just as good as oem.
How do you do all this
man i really wish 400ex's werent 3500+ dollars nowadays
Good time to sell mine haha
I see them all the time on marketplace for $2500. Even see ones that the owner doesn't know how it fix for $1500. What pisses me off is seeing a 95 300 4x4 that's beat to shit for $3000
@@benmiller5015 I got my Trx400x for 3,000 in 2018 bone stock low hours all original. If I wanted to buy one like that now it would be 5,500$ plus crazy market.
@@Billy-Boggs the market has definitely lost its damn mind. Just in the last 6 months I've seen a general increase on pretty much all quads by at least a grand. But finding a decent deal on one that hasn't been beat to piss is hard to come across. N $3000 3 years ago was definitely a steal
I picked up my 2002 400 few months ago with a roached engine for $1k. Surprisingly enough it's in pretty minty shape. Kind of got lucky. Same in my area up in UP of MI. $2k over book value. I'm pretty sure I'm like 3-4 hours north of him. I don't know where he finds all the reasonable deals on bikes, atvs what not. Wouldn't happen in UP folks to proud of there old junk around here. Mean I've gotten some pretty good deals on stuff, pretty few and far between tho.
11:15 is this how red lights work in America??
Yes, you can turn right on red after a complete stop.
That exhaust sounds so bad...
11:16 uuh, red light?
How much did the client pay for this to be done?
My 400ex has the same problem fully stock other than a after market air filter. It backfires and doesn’t idle. Valves are good, should i get a carb rebuild kit for it ?
Yeah really check over the carb and make sure everything is working properly
Just take it apart like he show's in these last couple videos, and clean out your jets. Check make sure your tank has good flow as well. There's not much in a "rebuild" kit you need if it's not leaking fuel. Unless the jets are corroded and un cleanable then just clean r up. Save few bux. In stock form 400s are pretty choked up. Good uni filter and a slip on with a re-jet will have you wondering why you hadn't done it sooner. Take the accelerator cover off to check the diaphragm in there make sure it's not all dried out. That would definitely cause running issues.
@@BitcoinYooper my carburetor pours gas from the overflow lol should i get the rebuild kit ?
@@drewsgarage1007 Nahhh, pull it apart and check your floats and float valve (factory manual calls it that) n seat. That's what controls fuel coming in from tank. If it gets wore out it will keep letting fuel past n overflowing the bowl. There non adjustable so if it's bad just have to replace. When you pull it out there be a black tip on end should be able to tell if it's making a good seat at the bottom.
@@2vintage can u send the link where u got that brand new oem carb?
Do u still have the tacate
Yes I do
I have no idea what you’re looking for when you stop it’s ridiculous
Can you fix my rm 250
What's wrong with it?
Fix it yourself.you can just put new parts too!
@Whoop!!
cool
That pipe sounds trash 🥺
Let's good 👌🤩
Yea lets good, make sense
For the one who called the police,.. 😡😡😡😡😡😡 GRASS 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Buy a big chunky tyre for your biggest bike and then do a burnout on the neighbours lawn 👍🏼
Hey How would I check if the carrier bearing is good in a 99 400ex??
Set up on a stand so axle is hanging in the air and grab a wheel see if it moves all over. You will be able to tell should be no movement in carrier to swing arm and axle to carrier should all be tight. then Spin the wheels by hand should be able to tell condition of bearings. Should roll like butter no chunky clunky spots.
230?
That exhaust sounds horrible
Wow that's an expensive carb!!
Look up Lectron carbs.
My old YFZ450 carb was $800 on sale for a oem replacement
At the shop for an oem 400ex carb they wanted 450 bucks hahah
First
That exhaust sounds awful
doesn't sound too good
Will $230 fix this quad. How about wasting 23 minutes of your life to find out. Hot damn son speed it up
Yo
That’s a lot for a carburetor😬
It's a brand new oem carburetor though. So not bad for that.
Idle is to high and you shouldn't be out beating on a customer's bike making pathetic attempts at wheelies missing shifts and hitting the rev limiter. That's disrespectful and if that was my bike and I saw this video of you beating on my bike is be throwing you a beating not to mention you could've just replaced the spring not rape him for a carb
please get the proper gear on and a helmet enjoy your videos until you do that i just shut it off
