Your wife is really gonna appreciate that winch. Super nice job of customizing the machine, of course having every toool known to man helps, especially the plasma cutter! Oh, and your "stash" helps too.😊
Thank you for taking us along on this journey. Always a pleasure to watch you work. Best wishes from the UK.
Is this like a poor design by Yamaha? It seems designed to not be worked on at all. And, to be able to work on it you have to devote so much time, if you were a repair shop, it would be cost prohibitive. Just tell the customer, 'buy a new one'.
Mass production….make them cheap…sell them expensive…..
Morning everyone watching from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧
Good morning from Port Saint Lucie Fl
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Good Day, Mustonians!
Really enjoyed seeing this quad come back to life! The front winch and push bar fabrication turned out great and much stronger than before! It amazes me how people give up on a vehicle and write it off when it just needs a little love. Wish I didn’t live on the opposite side of the country, you would have loads of video content with bringing my 1950 CJ3a that was left in a yard for 40 years back to life.
You can clearly see at 5:18 that the carb is spraying the fuel backwards so this is an indicator for way too much fuel is coming.
Yep. When I saw that if figured Daren missed it or he would have known what was up.
Exactly what I saw. Wasn't sure why but that wasn't right. Fun.
No, that is normal for a motorcycle or quad engine. The pressure wave bouncing back and forth up the intake channel are often supersonic. It is normal to see a small cloud of vapor form there.
@jw-hy5nq Not saying you're wrong that just seemed excessive too me is all. I could be wrong though. Have a good one.
@@jw-hy5nq Yes, a *small* cloud. But what i´ve seen was like you´re pushing on a spray can. In my opinion way too much. The missing main jet explain why it was so much.
That front bumper/brush guard turned out really well! It looks factory! Wayyy beefier than the original too!
Even the best of us make mistakes, it keeps us humble !! Best thing is to have a little laugh at yourself, and move on ! What a great fix up on that front rack , helps you have parts from all over. Thanks again for making my Sunday start right !
That front rack turned out Awesome! Like the parts were meant to go together, even though they had totally different purposes. A tweak here, a weld there, Viola!
"We do it right 'cos we do it twice!" sounds like one of my mottoes!
My first clue what was wrong.. was when you first started it up and was going to hold slide down. Just before you held it down you revved it up a few times and raw gas was blowing back out of the carb.. (It's easy seen on the video) I yelled there's your problem lady! LOL
LOL. I use thT all the time. "There's your problem lady!"
My Polaris is having a similar issue, so I'm going to follow these 2 videos & will eventually report back when/if I identify & correct the problem. Have learned quite a lot from you, sir!
If your Polaris is a late 90s, Early 2000s model, It likely has a worn camshaft. I've had to replace the cam on 2 of them, But they run like new afterwards
I vote for a vacuum leak someplace, several bikes I have bought had similar issues and each one was a vacuum leak or plugged idle jet ( but he cleaned this well unless there was crap in the tank). The rubber boots on carb on these old machines are often cracked. Guess I will watch and see
Also check the spark arrestor. They often foul up and restrict the exhaust
I'm glad to hear you use the German torque settings, Goodn tight 😊
Yes that is one way. Another is to tighten until your butt puckers.
Happy frosty morning from North Carolina farm country - harvest season is over, the equipment is in the barn for the winter, and time to relax with coffee and Mustie. Sausage on the grill, eggs in the iron pan, life is good.
Forsty northern MN here and same. Corn is just wrapping up..
Now I'm hungry thanks hope you had a good yeild
Happy Sunday morning from coastal North Carolina @kenstrayhorn5923
Another great one Mustie! Showing your mistakes, (that we all have done), makes me want to watch you more. My in laws just got back to Florida from NH. Went there for leaf change, thanks for taking me there to see!
That's a sweet little machine. And of course, it's even sweeter once Mustie worked his magic on it. She should love it. Thanks for sharing.
The screen that was in front of the radiator needs to be put back to protect the radiator. Sticks, branches can damage the radiator without it.
The story about Mustie’s wife getting wedged in between two trees…..I seem to remember a video of Mustie and his wife out in a boat on the lake, where they ran out of gas. Mustie didn’t bring extra gas. Mustie didn’t bring an oar. LOL!!! Anyone else remember that???
Love my '05 Kodi 450. Unstoppable and always reliable.
A constant inspiration Mustie, thank you for your videos!
Always great to see Mustie1 episode posted in my feed on a Sunday.
He did an awesome job on the front guard rack and winch mount
Looks better than factory I'd say.
His self depreciating humor when he screws up like on the carb is a big part of why I can't wait for the next episode each week.
His wife should be one happy lady when she takes her first turn riding it out in the sticks.
Always an inspiration. Taught me how to work on engines and mechanical systems.
Use a spray bottle with soapy water [or water with a little vinegar{diluted Simple Green}] to moisten the radiator dirt before blowing it with the airgun. This will clean the fins and also prevent the dust from flying all over the place.
If you did that with the dirt around where I live, you would make a radiator shaped brick.
@@vhfgamerOkay Pigpen.
Mustie had a small amount of dirt and debris that formed a dust cloud. If you think that I'm wrong, that's your opinion.
Having done it over 20 times, I can guarantee that it works.
@@vhfgamer That is why you don't leave it to dry. Use the air gun within minutes, while it is still soft.
@@jlucasound You haven't ever seen the mud we have around here. It's sticky like glue. If you walk through it, you'll have a several inch thick cake all around your feet. That's assuming you don't just sink straight down to china.
Now why didn't this suggestion get posted somewhere I'd have seen it before the weekend? 😂
I was blowing dust and old mud off an even older Yamaha quad just a few days ago, making a big mess in the garage.
awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Howdy all! Mustie rescues another. Definitely rescue the Yamazuki. Fall colors look great.
You got that ATV running great Mustie1 👍👍👍
Hey those Milwaukee tools have a 5 year from date of purchase warranty. You go online to their page, open a ticket, put in the serial number, and if you're in the window (you don't even need your receipt) they'll email you a shipping label, send it out and in about 2 weeks they'll send it back fixed and pretty looking. How do I know this? Yup, I actually did it and they fixed my impact gun FREE of charge. It was amazing!!
Looks like a great wheeler, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Awesome 👏 I am always learning watching you
You called it right away that a jet might of fell out. You no dummy ! Good thing ya found those shorted wires . Nice video ! I gotta get my leaf blower fixed tomorrow. Carbs plugged
The relief of knowing everyone does that kind of thing.... Phew! Excellent as always, thank you
I been lookin for a video made by a legend and here we are. God is good.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌️
I love that Mustie uses a Taryl cup to take his urine samples! I think he even has other Taryl merch like tee shirts. Two greats!
Great video, nice job fixing the Yamaha 4 wheeler. Looks and sounds great. Thank you for sharing 😀
Great video! I always learn something new from your videos! Attention to the smallest detail can make the difference but you learn from the mistakes. My only concern is that you left out the metal brush grate that protects the radiator. I learned that lesson the expensive way. Although I thought I was cautious riding in the woods, a stick from some downed branches flipped up and went straight thru the front grille into my radiator.
✌🤠🇺🇸
Ive been watching for about 7 years, this new job i have i work 6 days a week and sunday mornings are the best thanks to you darren! Love every video!
Use the winch to move the trees blocking the path! Save your back! Its also kinda fun...lol
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1! Nice save and re-work on the bumper and winch.
You did good on that machine Sir. Enjoy it.
Always a 👍, never disappoints.
Mustie1 (Darren) continues to be the #1 TH-cam channel hands down… And you say?
I never saw that happen before. Your reaction was priceless
Not too many people would admit this in a video, I wouldnt. In Mustie we trust.
If you weld ends on the brushguard that go rearward [or forwards] 4 inches that will help you edge through tighter areas than just open ends without catching onto what you hit. Like the inverse of a bull's horns [more like what a ram's horns are].
Mountain bikers put them on their handlebars and it prevents serious crashes.
Glad you got it running better works great.
I really enjoy watching your videos mustie1 I can’t wait for every Sunday night to come around to watch your videos
Mustie1, Glad you found the troublesome fuel valve. Gremlins! Anyway, very nice work on the grill and winch! Your wife should name it “Smiley”! BTW, I know the wife is camera shy but you should show us a cameo of her riding her new wheeler. Maybe a driving away shot!
very patient and great to watch
That looks wicked from the front…nicely done Mustheim!
Cool Sunday morning and coffee with mustie. That new front gaurd looks great
Mustie, It takes one heck of a man to laugh at his mistakes but, then again you are da man. I'm just waiting to see Mrs. Mustie ride it. Thanks for a wonderful video and a great start to a beautiful Sunday morning. God bless.
Nice result, well done Sir. Happy trails with the wife.
Good job Musty1 That front bumper looks way better. Those old Kodiak's Are very loyal machines.
Very cool video. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks Mustie1.
That's some mighty fine fabrication on the front assembly and the added bonus story and chuckle of your wife sticking the 4 wheeler between 2 trees. But super content as always and a trail ride to boot. And looking forward to your next project and adventure. Thanks again for taking time to share your knowledge and skills with us.😎🇺🇸😇🍁🦃🍂
Mustie, you sir, are amazing. Good job!
Thanks for sharing Mustie. I really enjoy your videos. I also admire the way you use pieces and parts from other things to make your ideas work. I do the same thing however probably for a different reason mostly because I’m poor and don’t like to spend money if I don’t have to. But anyway it’s good to see that in the throw away society we live in. Wish more people would at least try to reuse things instead of tossing everything. Hope your wife is pleased with her new toy. I know I sure would be. Thanks again
Great video! i Love watching your videos. love the Taryl cup! you realy do inspire people to work on their stuff! :)
Thank you Darren for the video another good one, keep up your great work ..
Thank you. Very nice work and a fun video as usual!
I was guessing main jet but didn’t expect it to be rattling around. Great video, have the same wheeler and my fan is toast as well
Another brilliant video Mustie. Your laughter and sense of humour when you cracked opened the carb to see a jet looking at you
The quad hugging the tree made me laugh.
Nice to see you back Mr mustie1 from South yorkshire
Mission accomplished bro, nice one. Safe travels. Ken.
Great job Darren! Hope your wife enjoys it. 😊
That looks way!!! Better !! Darren good job dude
Safe trails, Mrs Mustie!
Por el año 1984 tenía una camioneta que andaba muy bien hasta que un día volviendo para mi casa me pasó lo que a vos con ese jet ! Arrancaba pero cuando la aceleraba se apagaba...la empuje por cuadras hasta que decidí ver que le pasaba al carburador ! se había salido el jet ( nosotros les decimos chicler) de alta ! pppf lo puse y no tuve mas problemas !
This bike has a lot of similar parts to my 1988 Yamaha Terrapro. It has a PTO, three point mount, mower deck and 12' sprayer. Amazing engineering you did. TH-cam would be worthless without Mustie, WatchWesWork and Eric O. Love the content!
Yeah, 3 of my favorites too.
Don't know eric o thanks for the heads up. They make us normal people ignorant don't they.
Eric O runs the SouthMainAuto channel. If he can't fix it, it isn't broken. Remember, if HE can do it, YOU can do it. lol@@borisbash
@@TheBrookian you haven't sent me work on things, I should have been a butcher.
@@borisbash , I may have seen your work then. I've repaired some pretty questionable stuff.. lol
Great video! Awesome 4 wheeler project. got to Love free tires! i Love watching your videos! Thank you for making this video, and showing us how you put the winch on the front. it inspires me to put my winch on the front of my 1995 polaris magnum. :)
That’s a great looking riding trail!
Man that Kodiak looks awesome for 20 yrs old!
I spotted the excessive sprayback of fuel near the beginning (5m17) and was screaming "strip the carb again!" Glad you found it, though. Good video (both) :-)
When you were testing the winch I thought for a moment you were going to recreate the scene from "The Gods Must Be Crazy" where they manage to winch a Land Rover way up a tree.
in the 90s I had a friend who put a 12000 lb warn winch on the front of his Toyota we hooked it up to the tree to lift the front up to change the tires when we came back from the tire store the truck was all the way up in the tree.
Yup I you would get it working excellent video awesome content thank you for sharing this six stars brother
great video lots of fun to watch, be safe
As always a entertaining show , thanks.
Nice trail, nice colors, nice machine!
Runs great, excellent job!!
Excellent, that's a capable little quad,
We learn even from your mistakes. Thanks for showing them to us.
That wasn't dumb Darren. It was simply an assembly oversight. Dint beat yourself up. The very best in the racing and professional world overlook stuff like that all the time. Were humand and thanks for showing. Cheers buddy
Muste shows how beneficial it is to retain a sense of humor in getting past a mistake and in life in general.
That looks so much fun !
Still my favorite channel
Your wife and the ATV in the woods, was sooo funny----! Good repair, esp the welding.
If you've lost the variable speed on your drill and all you have is off and High it is very possible that you burn out the mosfet transistor that controls the speed. My drill did the same thing I replaced the mosfet transistor in it and it works fine.
Looks like that quad was driven into a lake at some point in its past. Good fixes as usual!
Nice fix !! Funny that the jet would have fell out wth !!! Looks good !!
Mustie needs to be at a million subs watched him for years even started watching his old vids again
This SO makes me want one. I think I am going to get one. Can you imagine the camping trips? You can carry so much on one of these and go almost anywhere. The only thing better, would be a Sherp.
Must be nice having your own woods playground!
17:52 My 650 Yamaha verticle Twin did the same thing. I found a small hole in one of the CV Carb diaphragms and patched it with a bicycle patch kit (Yamaha wanted way more than I had in the mid-70s). I rode it that way for two more years and sold it that way running perfectly.
I think that the burned wreck in the forest is one of the famous Japanese crossbreeds Suzumaha or Yamzuki... Love your fantastic videos, just keep them rolling 🙂
Great Job Mustie1, on finally getting ur Yamaha Kodiak atv running and driving great for ur wife..
very neat and tidy bike
Not bad for the amount and the work !
Nice one Darren!
That bumper is a beast!!
I had a simular issue with mi 91 trx 250 X . I cleaned every harness ground. And plugs and conectors. I bit the bullet and changed ,the cdi. It fixed the intermittent ignition problem.
