I really appreciate how calm you stay during the problems you encounter. I can share this with friends and not have to worry about foul language and we have learned a lot from you. Thank you sir!
I used to dabble in things like this but now all my tools live in the woods with each tool representing a story of frustration, anger and disappointment while trying to fix stuff. I visit them once in a while but otherwise do not disturb them.
Just found your channel, and subscribed. You are extremely patient. I think I would have given up long ago. A 100 hours is crazy. Driving my wife nuts, binge watching the channel
Maybe if you could control your emotions you might be a better mechanic than you are now. I worked with a crybaby mechanic and he was always upset having to work on a car that was too wet or too hot. Eventually it came out he was gay and his boyfriend was cheating on him with a technician.
This was probably the most gratifying video that you've done because there was so many things that you had to chase down over 4 videos. I feel so much smarter after watching your content. Well done as always.
We have a automotive shop and we use a vacuum bleeder on cooling systems. They are the way to go especially on something like that that has coolant lines running long distances.
Great to see it going. The yellow wire should go to your neutral safety circuit to get it's ground, a bad safety switch or out of adjustment could cause you to see 12v and not ground.
Hi love your videos the calmness as you work is awesome. Im a little new to your channel,but i have to say i love that you dont have any music or long intros just right into the mystery and fun of repairing. Keep up the great work my friend .
Yeah they would have to bleep my language and clip out my temper tantrums where tools and parts going flying across the garage. 😅😅. This young man has real control!
Joe, your calm methodical, logical approach to this was amazing! Another “new” solenoid would have had the same problem! Excellent job! Nearly all dealership mechanics would have given up! Unless they had experienced this before!
You know the ‘fuse’ you took out for the solenoid is actually a relay.. with a control side and load side, love your methodical and relaxing approach, from UK
Your ability to stay calm and collected when things break or you have to pull everything back apart is uncanny! If i had videos of me when fixing and rebuilding things, the whole video would be bleeped out cussing and yelling hahaha
I could watch your video all day as an owner of abandoned and gave up on machines. That i have brought back to life. I appreciate your in depth diagnosis on machines and appreciate your no BS approach to your videos. No click baot needed maan. What style impact do you use its so quiet compared to the dewalt!!!!😮😮😮😮😅
I just found your channel and everyone is complimenting you on how calm you stayed during this. I find that amusing honestly. It’s very easy to stay calm when you’re editing the videos. 😂 😂
Very nice job, my brother. I usually don't comment but it was very satisfying to see you trouble shoot every problem and get this one completely working again. Thanks
Good job, AGAIN!!! Now just need to get the doors to latch good and a piece of plexiglass for a windshield and it will be complete, and probably worth well over 10k.
Joe, the cap serves a few functions when used with the over flow tank. First it will push air and water out into the overflow during warmup, but on cooldown it will only draw water back in, the cap and tank help keep air out of the system, as long as their are no leaks that stop a vacuum from forming on cooldown. Second, the cap maintains pressure on the coolant, raising its boiling point and keeping it from boiling over at 212. Depending on when the cooling fan is set to come on by the switch, it could overheat when not moving because the cap is off or bad and then the temp can’t raise high enough to trigger the fan (if the trigger is above 212) because it boils over first. I’m betting though that your vehicle fan triggers a lot lower than a regular car, which often times is 215-220 degrees, sometimes higher.

Knocking it out these last couple days, the 4 wheeler snow plow and now this one, been waiting on these, I feel invested. Now we just need the conclusion video on the 4 wheeler!
I think what you do is really cool. Also, very helpful info to help me maintain my machines. One recommendation when getting a neglected machine is to use Pri-G if you think it has old gas. We had stale gas in a turbo charged Can Am machine that caused it to sputter. Pri-G rejuvenated the stale gas and it ran perfectly.
If you look back on your assembly video the pin was on the water pump shaft when you put it together so if you're still in the case or it fell out when you drained it before you took the side case off
Not sure why I enjoy these kind of videos so much but I think I find it therapeutic …always willing you on to succeed. I enjoy the process of getting to the bottom of the issue and solving it. Never sure you sell any of your projects and if you make a reasonable reward for your hard work?😢
Nice job getting her done Joe. It's been a hot minute but it's finally complete. It's kinda like life just when your ready to give up on it all you gotta keep fighting and clawing forward eventually you'll get there.🍻🍻🍻
Can I hire you to get my 1968 Triumph up and running. I Inherented this from my father-in-law and have all the original parts... It would be so cool to see it on your channel. I have watched your channel for a long time and the word thorough is an understatement.
Tough lessons full rebuild always test pump impeller and replace thermostat, I have been there unfortunately lots of extra work. on a positive note, at least you have more great content to share!
The Dominator was quite an adventure before the actual adventure. That thing tears it up pretty good on the land. It's opening up its doors it wants to fly now!
Awesome to see how it originally failed now. The fan fuse broke, which made it overheat over and over again, which destroyed the cylinder walls and pistons due to excessive expansion and contraction from heat cycles.
I would want to know how that pin fell out and why. That's a critical part like the proverbial nail in the horse's shoe eventually led to the loss of the battle. That pin has to be somewhere. You have amazing patience to work on such difficult machines that aren't designed for easy maintenance and repair. I would get too frustrated.
I hope I remember this series of videos if I’m ever given the opportunity to buy one of those things. Yikes !!! What a pile of work. 😩 Glad you finally got it sorted out !😎
Joe, when you strap the side by side down always strap the tyres and never like you had it because everytime you go over a bump in the road the bike goes down on the suspension which loosens the straps then when the suspension comes back up it snaps the straps tight which could break the straps. This goes for all vehicles when tying down.
Thanks for sharing, nice to see this project finally complete ! What a patience it takes ! Often we see you doing, and it's like, oh, I could do it, seems like fairly easy job, but from time to time, this kicks in, and that's where you make a difference too ! :) Nice job !
what a testament to patience dude that thing was a bear! need to donate to local vocational school so they always have something to work on! lol great work!
Joe look back on the rebuild. When you put it together I think I saw you turn the impeller and I said to myself why did that turn it shouldn't. Should be tight !:-/
Wow that turned out nice. That yellow wire from the solenoid probably goes to a safety switch that connects to ground to prevent it starting in a certain situation. The reason it showed positive was the positive voltage on the green wire was traveling through the solenoid coil and coming out the other side to the yellow, and you will see that voltage if that side is not grounded.
Really enjoy the videos. New subscriber. Was wondering if Vinny ever goes riding with you?? Looking forward to watching more of your past videos and the new ones. Your videos are giving me courage to tackle some projects of my own. Thanks.
lotta folks work on these engines for a living motorbike to have a universal stand they can put the engine on and connect it and fire up, connect coolant lines so forth, that way you know whats what before installing, save a lot of time
Good video. My take is when you measured a “positive”” on the yellow wire, you were actually measuring back through the solenoid coil to the 12v positive--no voltage drop through coil since it wasn’t drawing any current. The yellow wire was not grounded, maybe because it was interlocked to brake pedal switch (as another post pointed out)You supplied the ground to make it work. Maybe the real culprit was the brake pedal interlock switch?
I’ve worked on bikes and quads for years. I chose to steer clear of the China stuff pretty quickly! Joe has unbelievable patience!
I got a Chinese 200 or 250 and it’s reliable
I run a shop n we wont touch these.. any of the chinesium toy.

So you're a woods Zen master and shot putter. Cool.
I really like how methodical you are and that you pull components apart to look for failures rather than just swap in a new one.
A man of infinite patience...........it's a pleasure to watch you work.
Do a video on what you do with all the bikes and machines you have bought over the years. You buy so many.
That dog has no clue what's going on.highly doubt he's disappointed in anything.

My misunderstanding is how you stay so chill. I would be probably be taking a 10 min break or so, so I can just throw stuff!!

Is that a starter selonoid clicking or a relay?.good luck.
What is the coolent temp in degrees not bar?

Great to see it going. The yellow wire should go to your neutral safety circuit to get it's ground, a bad safety switch or out of adjustment could cause you to see 12v and not ground.
Could have a seat switch in line with the neutral safety. Not sure if these have those though.
Isn't there one tide into the brake system to?
I work on lawn mowers, and that is what I was going to say!
Another great video series, Joe. After watching you deal with this thing I will never buy one even if it is cheap!
Wife enters kitchen..."What the hell are you cooking in my sauce pan?!" lol
It pays to keep trying instead of giving up.Every day there is always something new to learn.Great outcome Joe...!!
You have the right attitude and the patience to be a good mechanic. Well done young man, well done.

Wow, great job as usual Joe ! That thing had a lot of issues and you handled everything with ease ! You are the man !
Love your videos Joe !
100 hrs but we all learned a lot. Good job man 👍
At least you caught it before it blew again! Now your a pro on this engine! Great video bro!👍🏻

4:15 of your last video, the pin was definitely in there. Commenting before I even finish this video so hopefully it all works out!

You certainly deserve success for all you hard work & patience !!!

OMG what are the odds of so many things being wrong with the cooling system at the same time?? Love the videos!
Awesome video man! Great to see it worked out and wasn't another 100 hour rebuild ❤

You're a real trooper, you never give up. It's good to check the thermostat with a thermometer to see if it opens at the designed rating.
Exactly. Use a thermometer and bring the water up with the thermostat submerged. This way you can actually check the opening temp calibration.
