Here is the link to the cdi from Amazon that I used: amzn.to/3PLZSUI
shout out to the chat who recommended the dc vs ac
it didn't even cross my mind at the time
I was an auto mechanic for 16 years, then switched to bikes/quads/3 wheelers/ sleds and personal watercraft for another 7. I've been retired for a few years now, but watching these videos and realizing that an established channel can generate thousands of dollars each month has me considering starting back up. Thanks for getting my blood pumping again! 👍
You should do it, I’ll watch. 👍🏾
I hope you do it man but this kid started off as a moto vloger just ripping machines with his brother and shit in the back yard he has been at this for so long and legit has a new video everyday without fail he works super hard to make his channel.. the TH-camr game from what I hear can be pretty rough it’s like trying to make your wife happy.. but if you can make videos as thorough as these pretty much real time rebuilds diagnosing I would definitely watch but I feel it’s gonna be a lot of time and money before you ever see a dime from it but who knows you could go viral and be the next Justin Bieber
Yea getting the channel up n running is the hard part and reaching the requirements to make anything is hard. You basically need a couple vids to go viral in order to reach them requirements. Ive beed at it over a year now and have yet to earn anything because i havent reached the requirements yet. @Lee-tp2kh
@@Lee-tp2khspot on
@Lee-tp2kh If there were even the remotest of chances of being the "next Justin Bieber," I wouldn't even consider it. 🤣 Seriously though, I think I'm a bit too over-the-hill at this point to make a run at something like this. I'd say that I wish the internet existed back in my day, but that would be a lie. Imo the internet has ruined a lot of potential great things people could be doing instead of staring at a screen all day. I know it would've interfered in my life greatly had it been available back then, and I'm grateful it hadn't been invented yet.
I can hear the last two owners banging their heads against the wall…
they would have been disappointed when that stator wire was disconnected also lol
Right now my 250 is not making spark it turns over I had a friend help me with it tho so now that I have the new spark plug I just gotta see wussup when it's not raining outside
Always find it a little suspicious, "oh it only needs this $20 part and will run like a top." Really? And you took a discount instead of splurging $20.
I was the first owner of the 2 when I lost spark im glad to see it running good was a headache for sure 6 months or better countless hours and parts who would of thought of a ac or DC cdi box
I love how you always start your toys with the garage door closed… lol. Tell your wife to buy you a lift table.. you’ve earned it…. Love these videos
its cold outside though....
Lungs are overrated.
@mpulicci78, not going to hurt you for a couple of minutes, I have done the same.
Getting a bike running to the point u need to open the garage door us a good thng
installing a panasonic whisper quiet fan doesn't take much and doesn't break the back. moves lots of air and is super quiet too
When Joe first fires it up all I could think was the thing sounds gutless
Get yourself a spark tester. They are like $2 and you plug them in line with the sparkplug.
You can see the spark much better and it would look better in video
I was gonna send him one, I have 4 new ones
@@TimelineGarageI'm sure he'd use it. I know I would.
Still won't tell him if the plug is acctually sparking though.
@@richs7362 it's a quick testing method where you don't have to pull the sparkplug out and mess with it five minutes just to see if it's sparking. If there's no spark you know where's the problem and you can investigate further.
The people who sold him this non-running 4 wheeler, after watching his fix-em-up videos, are probably really upset that they were not able to diagnose the problem correctly and buy the new relatively inexpensive CDI unit that was the thing that got it up and running again. As it turns out though, even he was stumped until one of the commenters clued him in about the CDI not being compatible with that particular 4 wheeler. That's a huge advantage for him to have the input of tens of thousands of people who watch his video. Even without his viewers' clues, he's still one hell of a mechanic.
I was going to comment but you said exactly what I was thinking. I would like to be a fly on the wall when the previous owners watch their nightmare become a dream bike.
Like a good detective eliminate all leads until you arrive at the answer, no luck involved. You nailed the culprit.
Vinny’s greatest entry yet, open the garage and there he is lol. Great work joe.
I had a 99 300ex in my early 20’s . 20years ago and they are super dependable and reliable
I had the Suzuki LT125 Quadrunner Loved that thing
@@matthewdean8070 another solid quad ! Seems like they were just built indestructible back then
Except when the CDI unit packs up it seems.
@@starsailor49 I would debate this does not happen very often, and if it does the quad is 25 years old roughly. I would think that would be reliable and that over the years some parts may need to be replaced as normal wear and tear . Also we don’t know what the previous owners done or exposed the Cdi box to?
After the previous Owner(s) unleashed the Parts Cannon all it really needed was a correct CDI and a good spark plug... A super if frustrating problem solving job!
Man I want you to know something,what you’re doing is absolutely awesome. I’m an avid motorcyclist like yourself .There really isn’t anything like riding a bike that you’ve fixed w your own hands. The information that you’ve decided to share is priceless. Great channel Thank you man.
Another success with Vinnie approval
i think a drone with follow mode would work really good in your situation
Sounds like the valves are a bit loose still but other than that it sounds great 🤘🫡
Reliving an old passion for power sports through you has been quite enjoyable. Thank you for the content.
One time I had a bayou 300 that wouldn’t charge, turned out the previous owners had straight up cut the plug for the voltage regulator off the harness😂
Great Job, and only took two videos, thought that puzzle would take me months. Sounded great, and popped right off when reassembled.
I always say a prayer that little Vinnie doesn't get hurt running with Joe.That could happen being so close to those tires.Hope he stays safe.Just makes me nervous watching.
2Vinnie has no fear!
It was nice of you to thank the seller on here.. seems you've been had by a COUPLE sellers as of late.. bummer on that one but this is a gem right here!! Nice job Joe, I knew it HAD to be the CDI, either the wrong one in there or whatever.. crazy
I loved how the super was waiting on the other side of the garage door !!
You inspired me to take on a project, a 2005 Raptor 350. Long story short, new carb, jug and piston and it runs great. Keep up the great work and videos!
The plug gap looked like it was completely closed!!
Omgoodness yes I was wondering if I was the only person to see before " he cleaned the water off" the gap was completely closed, just say that instead of saying you just cleaned the water off
He says I can't believe it fired up that easily... after he tears the whole thing down , 😂😂😂😂, dude your to funny sometimes 😂😂😂
Nice job gettin it figured out. Always a good feeling when you do 👍🏻
Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
2V fantastic low bucks fix! The devil really is in the details! You followed specs and won! Congrats!
Around 10 year's ago i got a little 90cc quad for the kids - it was at a farm and like brand new but no spark . Put it in the Volvo and headed off on the 2 hour drive home . Got it home and checked it over and oooh , the emergency pull stop switch was full of water and shorting the system like it was pulled out even though it was in . Blew the switch out and a squirt of WD40 and it started first press of the button . Think it had been jetwashed ..Still have it in the workshop waiting for the grandkids to grow a little more .
BUT back in the 80's i had a small wheel KX80 that went for 2 miles then stopped dead for 3 or 4 mions then started again - a dry joint in the cdi was heating and expanding shutting it down till it cooled and the joint was re-established . Ended up cutting up a RD125lc and fitting the front engine cradle to the KX so the RD engine went in - micron exhaust and all lol ...
Glad I seen this new video Today..it's been raining the past 2 days where I live at in Illinois..After watching this.i learned IT CAN'T RAIN ALL THE TIME..a special person once told me that🤔😂🙏
A little spring plowing at the land! LOL
I would have thought Loctite would be used on the valve cover bolts.
You learn something every day.
Wow!
That is GREAT information and I would not have thought of that.
This channel is FANTASTIC!!!
I love vinny he give all them bikes a good run a for money he can keep up with any 500 i am a big vinny supporter go vinny 😅😅😅😅 i love watching your channel you have showed me how to fix my bikes .love and respect from England
i’ve been waiting for this one to be back. can’t wait to see
That quad rips pretty darn good! Great video, glad you found the problem with it. Thanks Joe!
Have to get me one of those for my vegetable garden. Looks like a lot more fun than walking behind a Roto Tiller.
Good job! I'm like you but with guitars, get em cheap and make them right.
Been a subscriber for quite awhile now. Today this video showed up on suggestions but wasn't in the list of videos from channels I'm subscribed to. I went to your channel and seen I had somehow been unsubscribed to your channel so I subscribed again.
Just wanted to let you know.
Not sure why TH-cam occasionally does this or how they decide what channels to do it to but today it was yours.
🤔This has happened to me a few times
@@snowyowl7042 I’ve been having that same problem not only Joe’s channel but a few. Cheers mate.
Happened to me last week
Happened to me with a bunch of channel's
Good old Wisconsin spring time!!! I lived in Waukesha for most of my life. I'm now in Nevada. Keep up the great content.
Again, great determination and patience Joe. 👍 Please put your earplugs in or defenders on ‘cos that pipe is going to destroy your hearing! Give it a pipe with something in it! 👍❤️😎✅
Another excellent video. @2vintage....your channel is top-notch. That quad looks good and for $1035 invested. Killer deal.
Catching air in the back yard way cool . Making crop circles too.
Nice. One thing I learned about Honda's is a noisy lifter is a happy lifter lol. Nice quad 👍🏼
Nice vid, I had a quad like this with the same problem, you helped me a ton!
Nice job Joe! I did the top and bottom end on my son's 300ex and the ticking is still there. I think that's normal because I also did the same to his buddies raptor and it wasn't doing it. I think that's a common honda thing for that model. Machine runs great still with no issues. Ride Red!!😂
Very helpful information 👍👍👍. It’s great to know that aftermarket cdi units are available.
I'm not saying you did it, but that rip in field looked a bit like you were drawing a male appendage, lol. It's also amazing how valuable just a little bit of information is. It's why I watch this channel. You are a valuable resource and your content is enjoyed and appreciated.
Good find and great diagnosis, another profitable buy.
Bravo, good job, you put the puzzle back together, sounds great. 😢more 2Vinny
Looks good brilliant work id change out the end can though doesnt sounds right with it on sounds like its screaming but no power lol
Ah man I've been SO curious about this quad.. jeez what a BUMMER last video!!
Excellent job my friend....you always come through on the tuff ones....keep it up....
Wow Joe, That was like solving a murder mystery! Nice job getting down to the problem
Sounds amazing and rips too😊
Awesome info! I absolutely love my 300EX!
Awesome job fixing the quad great!!!!
I miss my 300. Such a fun little quad. They do tend to click like that. I also had an issue with cdi but it was the pins in the plug going bad. Put a Bandaid on it on the trail. Fixed it at home and it never let me down again. Sorry I sold it.
Nice job Joe...
Very impressed with your approach never say die persevere and conquer well done sir!
Hey mate just a heads up, TH-cam hasn’t sent notifications for the last two videos even though I have notifications turned on. Don’t know if anyone else has had the same problem but worth checking out. Also when your out at the land is there a reason you only ride on the field now, you don’t seem to use the few trails around your property anymore, donuts are fun but you can only watch so many. Cheers for the video mate.
I've been waiting for this 2nd part two video on this thing!!!
New subscriber here buddy I like your style. Vids are edited good and always show the work. Thanks for the inspiration
U the man never doubt u for a minute
Of course, thanks for the entertainment. We knew you were going to fix it. And glad you did
Hi love the work and the videos keep up the great work learnt heaps from these videos 😁
Great job dude
Good Job, really enjoy your Videos!
Nice job 👍🏼
Joe, as always, great video / instruction / information; I learn more and more on each of your videos. If you would please though my friend, could you show -- maybe in a "Short" on how you reinstall a carb back onto the intake? I have the hardest time putting my 2002 Polaris Sportsman 500 carb back on, without the use of a rubber mallet. Could you show us your way? Thanks in advance for something so petty, but very useful.
You are the Best! Thanks for the Video!
I've always found it best that when it comes to things such as CDI and or Stator. You could never go wrong buying OEM. I understand if your trying to be profitable but if it's strictly your machine buy OEM electricall
Asking Joe and the chat... Which brand is preferred to work on? Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc? Digging these videos.
It usually depends on the year/model and particular drivetrain.
Great job Joe. Did you know that your crop circles are visible from space?👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Had a HMF on my 440 ex sure makes it hard to stay off the gas lol they sound great
Brilliant video Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👍
Joe you know 50 pct of time im 1st to start watching. Love ur videos. Keep them comming. Time to watch now
50% of the time I'm 2nd.
50% of the time I'm third.
50% of the time, I'm fourth 95% of the time.
Would be nice to take that frame in for Powder Coating 🙂
glad you are on you own ground, that is why my ground is closed to guys who ride like that!
Puss!
Great Video Joe 🔥🔥🔥
How close has Vin ever came to being "road pizza" while running beside and in front of you??? Always great content
Good fix, but she's a bit ticky.
Who needs a tiller when you have Joe doing donuts,,great content Joe
That 1998 300 looks exactly 💯 like my 1998 450 ES limited edition with blie flames on the front CDI cover plastic.
Great job on your videos keep it up
Makes me miss mine. Had to pop start every time. But could keep up with 400s
If anyone’s watching this and knows a decent amount about fourwheeler engines and the transmissions in them I would really really appreciate someone that would teach/answer some of my questions about my own fourwheeler
Another great video,rockers did look a little worn.
Nice job...
I loved those atvs I’m been looking at a y450f Yamaha or a nice Honda too
That’s a win at last hurray 🎉
Nicely done 👍😁
Nice going. Vinny says ruff, ruff.
I actually got a brand new spark plug for 4 stroke single Honda that was bad right from the get go. No spark. btw, the CDI was one of the first places I would go back in the 80s.
I have a 1990 Honda Quad that runs like new. Has lost spark twice in 34 years - both times it was the CDI Box. I even bought a factory CDI the first time and it was a faulty one.
Keep pumping 💪🏽 😎 videos 👍🏾 thanks!!
The TRX's were the best machines made. To bad they don't make them anymore. Love my 2007 TRX400EX.
I might be an old guy but I noticed that end of the plug look funky yep I might be old but I can still see have a great day thanks for the video you're very smart I worked on bikes and cars for 60 years it's amazing how technology can bite I keep watching thanks for the inspiration
I think he's quite pleased with that result. 😉
Really liking your videos! I'm slowly going through all your older ones.
Are you a qualified mechanic (is this your day job?), or are you all self taught?
