Thanks so much ... I don't upload videos enough anymore, to make the TH-cam algorithm happy, now that I am back to working as a Full Time Web Developer Manager
@@11GalleryATV proud of you with the Web development management career. You could go pretty far in Information Technology. So much better than working on off highway vehicles (not flipping restored vehicles for money/living). Maybee someday, you won't have to fix and sell ATVs anymore.😊
Getting ready to rip into my ‘05, and do a bottom-up rebuild. Definitely going to come in handy to have access to the documented hell you went through. Thanks, and congrats!
I've super enjoyed your builds over the last few years. Having rebuilt a few gems myself, I'm always blown away at the cost to rebuild one of these. You can really nickel and dime yourself, but man this bike sure looks sweet, and sounds amazing. Great Job and hope to see more builds in the future. We need to get your channel numbers to where you can live off the TH-cam monies. Similar to 2Vintage has. Anyway, excellent work!!
Thank you ... I don't think TH-cam will ever pay the money I make as the Manager of Web Development, my long time career ... this channel basically started when I lost my job due to the stupid covid fiasco ...
Finally got her done! Neverending tweaking on yfz carbs. Ive got gas leaks off my carb also replaced everything in float and needle area maybe its accelerator pump. Anyways good job!!

I may have a project in line but the temperature here in Phoenix must drop before I get started ... planning on swapping the bottom ends on a gen1 400ex to gen2 with reverse and everything else that's needed (cdi, cable, brackets, ignition, etc.) to put reverse on a gen 1 bug eye 400ex
Would be cool if you could sell that house or fill in the pool to make more driving room, and get something on a piece of land (5 acers or more) along with a fully equipped ATV shop. your skills and videos are totally awesome.
Do you do any work outside of your own? I have a 2007 yfz that I’d like to do a re powder coat frame , new an arms ,and an extended swing arm. I’m in San Diego I’d love to restore this girl.
I may do something else, but not for awhile ... I am still recovering (money wise) from these builds ... I may tear down my 2003 KX100 and powder coat, clean & polish, and freshen it up a bit ...
I did just buy a 2004 400ex bug eye with the 2nd gear out ... I have a 2013 crankcase and a 2008 transmission with reverse that I am planning on swapping the bottom end and putting reverse on a bug eye model ... need a few things like CDI, ignition, reverse cable and bracket and I need to find a way to mount the reverse switch ... I may video that process, but first the temperature needs to drop here in the desert ...
I don't much care for it either ... it is running right now, but it took forever to figure out the correct carburetor combination ... it sounds pretty mean but it's too loud for me ...
I had one for full year nightmare loud as hell , I had to rebuild it few times , in a year time , ended up last week with titanium yosi , what a difference night and day !
I really don't have too much desire for that kind of power delivery at this age ... I really like the lazy power of the 4 stroke ... I think the 400ex is the sweet spot ... even the YFZ450 makes my muscles sore ...
@@11GalleryATV well, a bone stock TRX250R, like something that was restored to complete bone stock OEM condition only has slightly more power than a 400EX. The TRX250R has 34 hp and the 400Ex has 28. That YFZ pushed 40, maybe a little more. With that exhaust in there even a little more than that because the YFZ is super choked up on stock form. Of course that is going to make your muscles sore. The LT250R makes a little less than the TRX250R as well, but I still understand because a 2-stroke’s power does punch when it comes on. I just like your videos because you go slow, are very clear at explaining, and you make sure it’s easy to understand. Makes it easy to reference your videos when you need to fix, repair, or build something… and for a bonus, you’re also entertaining to me 🤷🏼♂️😂
@@11GalleryATV I am thinking about going in a different direction with my daughter’s race quads though. I have 3 Yamaha blasters for them, but I’m thinking about changing her over to the Honda TRX250X. If you build one of those that would be cool so I can see what’s up with them and I can follow the Videos with my daughters so they can learn to build a 250X

Last guy probably cranked it continuously for 5 minutes without letting off. If he would have cranked it for 5 additional seconds, it would have started up.
@@11GalleryATV The first starter in this video cranked poorly, and you had to replace the starter (and the solenoid pack). Assuming that's the same starter that was on the quad before you rebuilt the engine, this usually means the guy before you sat there cranking it until the starter burned up.

You should invest in an ultrasonic cleaner if you encounter more dirty carbs it makes it effortless
