That should be an easy fix! If you still have the oem carburetor make sure you clean that vs going with a china carb, the oem always is more reliable and runs better.
First things first-great video!! I have an 08 bayou and all the info on it (original) is on a sticker attached to the seat (go figure) its on the seat an you aint got one but thats usually the main info where you see the year make model but theres also a sticker on the underside of frame on the front. My 250 bayou runs like a champ, but def has some electrical issues that involve a lot of time spent following wires and such, which your vid help me with greatly! Thank you very much!
I always go off of the vin number, i have never looked at the seat label to see if there is info. The bayous are tanks though! IF it runs it will for a very long time!
I’ve never came across a Bayou that wouldn’t run with a little tinkering. They are probably the most well built and toughest quads ever produced. I know Honda has a good rep but I’ve owned everything and the build quality on the Bayous always impresses me. Just solid, simple, reliable and capable quads.
Unless this was a gift from a relative, you did not pick this up for $50. The wheels alone are worth $200, the body alone at least $100, and the engine, even if seized, $100. So, let's say $500. And if fixed up, $1500 to $2000.
Nope just a guy I have bought other stuff from. I spend a lot of time tracking down deals. 90%of the time I won’t even buy the cheap bayous since they are a hard sale. There is no getting any more than $1600 for a bayou where I live.
How do you get something that cheap is it word of mouth like a friend of a friend or you see a flyer because I try Facebook at cheap quads are like $700 and they are super faded completely rusted blown up atv without regi/title.
Did you get it sold, man? I started watching your channel last night. I got a King Quad 300 delivered to my house for $300 bucks, yo! Going to be parting it and a couple of Yamaha Badger 80s out. Happy days
Unfortunately due to a family emergency I didn’t have time to get it dropped off. I’m still deciding weather to sell local or in the next months auction.
@@TheATVHustle hope your emergency situation is better. Thanks for doing your videos. I didn't grow up knowing anything about engines and I didn't own a socket set until after college (unfortunately about 3/8 & 1/2 SAE set instead of metric as my first sets) Had to start doing a lot of my own vehicle work and have slowly been gaining knowledge over the past 7 years, which is about how long I have dabbled on Ebay. It became obvious to me at some point that things with engines sell better parted out but I haven't had the space for normal vehicles so it occurred to me to start looking for four wheelers a few weeks back. I can tell that you're disciplined enough to be self employed, which is not a natural thing for us folks that were brainwashed into working jobs to make money. I think that is a good topic for you to make a video on. Your channel should take off with subscribers and all that if you stick with making video content. Later!
@@MrAlternation I thought it was a king quad! It turned out to be a 1987 lt-f4wd and it came with a 1999 king quad plastic that didn't fit. The guy had it listed for $200 and I told him that I wanted to buy it but I needed to ask .6 neighbor if I could borrow his truck because mine has problems. He offered to bring it to me for some extra money so I gave him an extra $100 bucks because he lives an hour and a half from me. I realized it wasn't a king quad because I could not get the front plastic to fit but it is the king quad's predecessor with all the features that make the king quad great!
Thanks for the video. I have a 220 that’s identical. It ran a year or so ago. Hoping to get it running again for my son to terrorize my lawn.

They really are, I prefer the Honda recon over the bayou but the bayous are always a solid machine when running right.
A year later and this gives me hope with the bayou I just got that doesn't run
What is the factory size tires for the front I just bought one and can't find the size tire that is on mine any where. Mine has a 22x8x9
@@chrisrobinson9332 rockymountain atv has some specs on their site, I’m not sure what the right one is but that sounds about right.
@@TheATVHustle ten four thanks
just picked up red bayou today at storage auction hope i can get it started been sitting in a garage since 2006 looks almost new very few hours
The bayou is bullet proof, I would bet it does run.

@@TheATVHustle You're on the side of good, keep up the good work. So glad I got a 250 awhile ago.
If you buy a non running junker that has a cdi. Can you test them to see if there any good or is it a no sell because you don't know ?
You can’t test them, I would say like 90% of what we buy has an obvious mechanical issue
i picked one up for $150 this weekend for my wife and daughter, it needs rings and smokes alot, but it ran like hell when we started it
They are good machines and will last for many years if taken care of.

What are you doing with your plastics ? They are so big shipping is brutal on ebay.
We toss them in the dumpster unless they are nice enough to hang on to.

Those little bikes will go forever As long as you change your oil that bike will last a lifetime
@@bigjay6743 that’s no joke. I’ve seen so many of these neglected but keep on moving.
nice change of pace video
Thanks! I enjoy flipping so I'll be doing more of these.
Those seats are so easy to fix all you need is a heat gun.
@@bigjay6743 I’ll have to give that a shot next time, I never thought about doing that.
