I just can’t see how people pay good money for an atv, especially a 4 wheel drive, to let it set out and get in this condition. Joe to the rescue
Yeah I just don't get how it can get to this point!
@@2vintage, Joe it's just that some folks want all the fun of an ATV, but besides gas and oil, they're not willing to invest in keeping up the maintenance.
Bad for them, good for us as we get to enjoy seeing you doing what you do best, buying and fixing the stupid!😅😊
Great video brother!
Allan in Columbia, SC
Cause they didn't pay for it
@@2vintage because they didn't pay for it in most cases. Great job 👍
I don't either. I just bought myself a new Honda Rancher and it was $7,000. I would never neglect it like this, it simply cost me too much money.
Absolutely love this channel… Bought a 2015 CR250 , used your videos to rebuild… took me over a month..lololol.. I had to sell at a major loss to help with my newborn granddaughters surgeries…. Maybe one day I will be able to do it again… at least I have your videos to remind me of what I accomplished with the 2-stroke….
rebuilding something and making it run is the most fun a man can have in life don’t keep wishing brother fix and flip them with ur spare time even if u do a bike a year still good fun rather than none
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THAT THINGS WILL RUN WHEN THE BATTERY IS HOOKED UP
Fun to see you bring these machines to life!
Amazing how they are some simple fixes and PO’s don’t take the time to really dig deep to find a solution.
Love to see someone who can fix instead of replacing it is becoming a lost art
I’m 16 in the past 1 years I’ve gotten 2 free quads that were broken down sitting for years and fixed them in a matter of hours and they run fine. I sold the first one for $500 and keeping the 2nd one
Looks like the quarter from the beginning of the video is going to go a long way to pay for all the repairs. Always informative and entertaining
Glad to see the main issue was just the belt. This should be a real nice quad once you fix it all up and shouldn't cost a ton of money or your time. Solid purchase Joe😊
Nice fix, but way more than 20mins, more like 4hrs I’d say
That's how i got my 05 Yamaha Bruin 350 4x4. I was told it wouldn't move and had bad wheel bearings. Turns out the bearings were good just loose wheel nuts and the belt was shredded. Got a new belt from ebay and it's been driving around great till the cv axles broke on me last week hauling in firewood
I bought myself one of those plastic welders earlier this week and I was surprised how well it worked. Used it to fix a crack in my dad's Honda Recon. $25 well spent
I keep saying I'm going to buy 1
@@dmo848 Definitely a good thing to have! Hopefully I won't have to use it on my 23 Honda Rancher but just in case lol
You do such a great job of fixing everything. Most guys would just put the belt in and make money. You show pride in your work and fix everything. I would not be hesitant to buy anything from you. Good honest mechanic. Great job.
I enjoy watching your videos. I just started my TH-cam channel not too long ago. I own and operate a repair shop here in NC. Been working on Motorcycle's and ATV 's for a little more than 15 years now. Keep up the great work and again I enjoy watching you.
Those starters need to have the brushes cleaned. Tapping on the starter helps for awhile.
im honestly surprised on the price difference in different countries. Here where im from, even the most beat up, 20+ years old quad or dirt bike wont go for less than 1k.
$1500 for junk where I live.
Can't say how much I enjoy your channel. I used to be in QC at the plant that made the Eiger and it was a POS in 2007 and it still is. Glad to see that a mechanic got a hold of it.
Why was it a pos?
Great job.
I am admired you haven't bought a small vehicles lift stand yet. I think it would save your back a lot!
Keep up the good work.
I'm so glad you pulled that belt cover off lol. I was screaming at the TV when you was talking about pulling the side cover off and draining the oil 😂
Joe is amazing I watch him for therapy. I'm old and never was mechanically inclined. To see this man tear stuff apart and know exactly where stuff goes is mind boggling to me. What a great channel and gow he shows us everything it is absolutely 💯 amazing live this guy and his channel. I also live how he explains as if to a newbie. Wow Joe!!!❤
Remember kids, the drain bolt only has to be tightly snugged, not torqued tf down . Should have a crush washer aswell, atleast for the old yammys nd hondas
Good job bud, love seeing you fix these old quads. My uncle had one like that when o was younger, it was a beast.
I absolutely love the video! Awesome to see your knowledge at work!
It may be a good idea to service the sheaves on the drive line. We recently serviced our sheaves for our Yamaha SxS. Tink seal is awesome.
Joe ,
Try using painters tape to hold outside of plastics tight together while you weld the underside. Good job on your troubleshooting & repairs enjoyable video .
These are good quads I can’t believe how people tear stuff up and neglect Super dependable
Had the same problem with the starter on my King Quad. Carbon build up on the brushes. When you tapped it with a hammer you reset the brushes. I ended up rebuilding mine.
I have the same machine w/ plow (But in mint condition)! Mine only has 1200 miles and has been a plow quad / farm tool it's whole life and well maintained. That's a great quad and not well known. I got mine for $2,000 with plow and winch. On another note, I've found simple issues that render machines useless to certain people, typically college grads who are among the dumbest people, offer a great deal to other people who have real world knowledge & experience. The owner of a company I previously worked at, who was in his mid 20s at the time and had inherited his ownership from his Father, asked me if his household furnace ran on gas or electric. This guy had a Bach degree in Mechanical Engineering but didn't know what his furnace ran on. I told him it actually used both electric and gas but the primary energy source was gas. That was 15 years ago. I'm certain the colleges are churning out more idiots than ever before.
When a Idiot goes to college/university and gets an "education" he/she is an educated idiot as are most democRATs....!
Man obviously not enough or no maintenance to that machine. Good thing it was just a belt not the whole clutch. Good deal love these easy jobs 👍🏼
You should have taken the plastics off to repair them. Then afterwards tape all the cracks on the front side the side you would normally see. And fill the backside with a little epoxy to help the staples and for extra strength. You could even tape the holes and add epoxy to fill the few holes in the plastics
In the bikes best interest, those back tires need to be the same size or the rear diff is going to be next. Good job on diagnostics Joe. Save em all if you can.
You should try to repair flat tire before throwing a new tire on it.
Probably just put it on to make it a roller
Solid rear end .. it won't do it any good but that's not a real differential another word that doesn't have spider gears.
The word differential on a rear end means tires will spend at different speeds going around the corner remember that's a four-wheeler and they don't have that they're positive traction
Look at the drive belt
Thank you for sharing. At 73 I learned that there is a plastic repair fix tool.
Good to see there’s still some good deals out there in todays economy 😂
That thing running is probably not worth $250. Hahahaha
That machine is in very rough shape! I think $250 was a decent deal especially for a guy who can fix it and get it going. I love these kind of videos and the resourcefulness of people who can take something like this and make it work.
Big brother to my Ozark. Oh I want it. 4x4 Suzuki baby. Oh yeah. Built to last here
Another good day I get to learn more on how to fix stuff
The way those fenders are, you could probably put generic flares over the outer ledge, and hide the missing chunks of plastic. Nice work.
You are the best mechanic for motocross bikes from me on TH-cam 😊
Great save spotting the shifter goes through to the other side.👍
copper anti seize grease for those rear brake pivots
Great vid as usual!!! Dont know how people buy from private sellers. Im looking to buy a motorcycle in the spring. I know dealerships arent perfect, but id rather take my chances on one than a random person. Anyhoo, anyone on here have or ever had a Yamaha vstar 250??? Just wondering what theyre like...
Come to West Virginia and see how things get to be in that shape. Since moving here almost a year ago I’ve seen more ATV’s, motorcycles, and cars destroyed due to sheer neglect.
My cup of joe' and a video from Joe. Winning!
U can just glue the friction material back on to the brake shoe. Ive done it before with jb weld and works great
Good work young man!!
BRAVO to you for taking on challenges. Looked beyond repair.
Awesome repair video mate. Can't wait to see you zooming around on it! Could you not plug the tyre?
I would replace the petcock on this. I just recently picked an Eiger up from my buddy and it was a fun little project to get running.
Try taping the outside of the plastics together nice and tight before pushing the staples into the underside. You'll get a better result. Obviously, then you remove the tape. Give it a try. It's way better than trying to hold it together while trying to insert the staples. Good luck. Great deal for $250.
I am so happy to see you working on this Suzuki.
I have the same unit and it runs and shifts fine but my shifter is sloppy. So now I see it is not intimidating to adjust it.
My rear breaks work but the foot break is solid so I have to figure that out but the hand break works.
Also need to change the gasket on the valve cover because it leaks to the point of smoking as oil burns off the head.
But it is a workhorse.
I know about mechanics and not afraid to dig into things.
But seeing you do things on the same unit is like a instructional video.
Thanks for doing what you do.
Great videos.
Cool Thanks Joe
It this a real prize or a bot.
@@JonGunnerOutdoors SPAM!
Yes I caught that. Dude was trying to give away prizes under Joe's name and channel.
Love the custom seat cover ! Lol 😂 people don’t take care of anything! Geez 🙄👍🏻💯
Yeah this one was bad!
Nice cheap fix good machine and winch too. I’d just fibreglass the holes and chuck a a coat of bed spray over it would look cool and be super resilient
All good work. One suggestion for the plastic frame, one that will change your life.
Super glue and baking soda. Mix the two together (Wear gloves obviously), and brush it on the seems as to join two pieces back together, clamp into position, allow to dry. Good as new. It will be a stronger bond than the surrounding plastic.
Great Learning Experience. Thank you
Love watching you tackling the ratty stuff and problem solving. 👍
Sorry if I comment too much, love watching your content. In South Africa and only have access to internet when we have power, download your content and it keeps me entertained during the blackouts.👍
Great find and great job🎉🎉
Buddy; i hear you say ,"lucky," often. Luck is not involved, your experience and knowledge is what get you to the solution/fix; take care.
What do you expect for $250 can easily flip for more as sits. You got a steal on it
Joe where You been . I have miss your positive and thorough way you go about fix none running engines. It’s like watch poetry in motion. I have learned. More about engines in the last year.watching 😂on here to my small knowledge of having a mix lot of bikes. Thank you for Your knowledge
I watch so many this will teach me. Thanks 😊😊😊😊
I got a 94 250 quad runner and its in great shape. Used it as my daily trail bike lol. But, i bought a 2023 750 king quad today.
Great job...new subscriber. Watched 5-6 videos in one day. slap some fiberglass on the plastic/sand and paint. Good as new.
I'm sorta new to the channel
I was wondering why don't you have atv / bike lift I know there come with a hefty price tag
But when you get older the idea of rolling around on a cold and wet floor and laying in gravel does lose its appear.I used to pull a wrench on cars and light trucks my knees are shot so working on a lift has great appear now thank for the video and good luck
That's a good score, simple fixes, easy way to flip, and should be able to sell for $1200.
I repaired the front inner fender on my Ford car once by plastic welding it with a big soldering iron and you use spray paint Lids for a filler there made it the same plastic. It worked great.
Man I need you to rebuild my honda 300 4x4 engine I'd buy everything and ship it to you I've watched you for years and you fix everything
Check spring to be in the correct spot and the shifter arm spring to. Cause it could stuck clutch plates due to out of fluids in the case.,or just shot out. That pin has to be there for sure. There's your problem with it your right on that part Joe. Without that pin it will not shift into gear at all. It's not allowing it to go fully into gear all the way cause it's missing now.
Can't wait for you and Vinny to get out in the test field and rip it!
I'd check the bead seal around the rim and tire. And check the valve stem for leaking to along with the tire to rim bead seal. Soapy water in A sprayer bottle does the trick on that part. And simplifies it to. Witch basically narrows it down to the exact location and problem of what's actually wrong with that tire and rim not staying aired up to Joe.
What I found is that if I get some small cable ties and drill pairs of holes along the crack it's easier to keep them aligned while you put the stitches in with your gun. Of course you do have to go back and fill the holes you drilled.
I bought a similar condition 2004 Suzuki 350 king quad, what a job to fix what others have broken, A 2004 350 Suzuki king quad with Winch, steel racks tow hitch installedand did run when purchased with a jump, but a lot of work to get it running for a a weekend.
I like following this guy I’ve stopped at a couple others there not for me.😮 I’d almost buy one if I wasn’t scared of getting junk.How-he finds them so reasonable.
Great video.
That’s a nice Jack 👌
My grandpa used to say "Some folks can break a crowbar in a sandbox". Neglect, abuse, and stupidity run rampant these days and its why we find things like that in that shape.
In 1986 I bought a new ATV, I sold it in 2005 to a buddy who had the same model around the time I moved here. He and I bought nearly identical bikes, his showed 1,800 miles on it and looked like it fell off a cliff, mine looked new with 22k on it. Mine got parked in the garage or shed, mine never got driven off a dock into the lake, mine never was used to ram trees or jump motocross hills. He's had mine for less than 2 years when he killed it. First the starter, then he submerged it and filled the motor with water, after that the clutch failed, then he broke a rear axle, and finally it caught fire one day parked to close to a bon fire they had going out in the woods while drinking. He tell me it didn't last nearly as long as his did though. (His still runs but hasn't moved in about 22 years since he bent up the front suspension hitting a tree in the woods at full speed.
I didn't realize that all of the newer models had gone to belt drive?
I think I like the old set ups better. My older models all had oil batch clutches or straight manual transmissions and a hand clutch. No belts to replace ever.
Its sort of like driving a car with at timing belt, everything suddenly depends on a couple foot long strip of rubber that can fail and leave you stranded. The worst thing that I ever had fail on an older model was a clutch cable, in which case we just push started it and drove home shifting without the clutch.
Check 15a fuses by solenoid, they blow out all the time...
Well done Joe. I love an easy fix. Thanks for bringing me along. Excellent camera work. let's get this guy to 1m subs.
I might be wrong but dont all tyres have to be the same overall diameter, otherwise in your case the front tyres will cover the ground slower than the rears? It might make is squirm a bit in mud and do damage on the road!
love this machine
Might work well to tape the body pieces back together and weld while held in place
Personally, I think the old belt or parts of it were jammed up in the clutch in such a way that the starter wouldn't spin it. Once you cleaned it all out, then the starter could do it's job. Just a theory.
Could be!
No it has a centrifugal clutch, so even if the primary was jammed, the engine can still spin freely. Because it technically has no contact with the outer clutch until revved up.
Just a little tip Joe. I hate telling people how to do things, but when you test a starter, best to put the positive lead on the nut and then arc the negative. You can weld that nut on there the way you did it
Hey I just wanted to say I love watching your videos it inspires me to work on my toys🏍 and I learn new things at the same time👍
I like a good video but, this one is great! Good job!👍👍
20 minute fix, 45 minute video. Not complaining, just an observation.
interesting project ride it defensively .. it will last for ever driven sensibly . i Have recently re welded some plastic inner wheel arches using a mains soldering iron and a bunch of cable ties melted into the broken panels .
my dad and i re built 2 quads one was a quadrunner the other was a king quad... we found a really good company that does brand new plastic for some older atvs and quadrunner models they looked great and fit perfectly .. if i get the name of them again i could send the info to you.
Sounds like it could use a valve adjustment . Maybe show that in the next video... I recommend you pull the fly wheel case and inspect the magnets . These are notorious for the flywheel magnets failing . Just fixed my 04 Eiger automatic that locked right up because of the fly wheel magnets grenading
They come with springs to mine did when I got new rear breaks on my 05
Ya know you can run tunes in all those tires.
You're a damn good mechanic
Those staples are designed to follow the crack and not across it if possible. Great find for 250
250, even for the motor is good, maybe a bit of a valve tick but damn even parts out youll do good, got me on the hunt for another project haha
The starter works now because the commutator got moved and the brushes weren't making good contact at that particular spot. A tap with a hammer would have done the same thing.
You always have my attention.
Looks like the same engine on the Arctic Cat 400 you worked on. Which do you think is easier to work on? I wonder if they get the same amount of gas mileage.
FYI if that starter isn't hard to get to you can whack it with a hammer to get it to temporarily work so you don't have to pull start it.
Take a small blow torch to the plastics to bring out the color. It worked for me.
Doesn’t it make the plastics brittle ?
For AGM healthy is 13.5volt. 12.5 probably won’t start an engine due to voltage sag under load
ha. My Pittsburgh jack squeaks the exact same way. Not sure how to fix that, but drives me crazy and always forget to fix it.
The stager on the tires is for the dirt track turns
It will make the left turn better, must have been prepping for Nasquad
I just picked up a old 4wd wolverine. Engine seems to run strong but carb needs a little work. It will need axle boots, seat recovered. The brakes work but are so low they're likely done.new front tires but very old shot rears.
And a new battery in it that may not be charging.
The question is whether or not it is worth fixing.
It was a 1 owner bike used by an old man around the farm.
And that's how these old bikes end up so rough.
Nice 👍
Just seeing this one. Have you ever had to replace the wheel bearings on a 4 wheeler yet ?
