will it run? this is part 2 of trying to save this ratty 1986 honda fourtrax 350 that was sold with a rapping engine then sat for 12 years in a tent,
Definitely sounds like a valve, though it doesn't sound like a timing, king noise, doesn't it hey guys how's it going hey we're going to continue on this 1986 honda four tracks that i picked up from my friend, who bought it over a decade ago with a noisy Engine, he never did anything with it and i ended up buying it off of him. Hence what you see in front of you anyway, on the first video we got into kind of looked: did an assessment on the whole machine and found that the camshaft burned up and took out the rockers with it. So that's what the engine was noisy for, got it to run it actually, you know fired up fairly easy with the old fuel that was in it. It was infested with mice, and you know all the issues that come along with nasty mics, destroying things parts.
I was able to get parts there, or the only thing was available was used stuff. There was nothing new made for this vintage of a machine and it seems to be a common problem because stuff was expensive, it needed a camshaft and a rocker needs rockers. If you look on the tabs right here, you can see with they are all burned up and cooked and gouged away in missing material. I believe they are only case hardened same with the camshaft yeah.
You have to see on that, but that camshaft is cooked. It's got burned up, marks right there, and the hardening on the outside has also gone away, so the two of them decided to chew each other up. I tried adjusting the valves to getting rid of the noise set them to three thou. It was still just as noisy anyway.
Today is a nice warm day. It is 60 degrees in the middle of february, and this thing was infested with mice all that stuff that you're seeing right there. That is all mouse crap. It was a huge nest back in the battery box.
There you still see remnants of mouse nest in there, so i'm going to take the opportunity. While we are waiting for parts which are probably about, i don't know eight days away from them coming in to take this and pressure wash the jesus out of it. Well, it's warm and try to get some of that lovely smell off of the machine, make it a little bit nicer to work on and uh it'll be dry by the time the parts come in we're gon na throw a bag over the top plastic bag over The top of the engine, and just do our best to avoid that and get her pretty that's about a week later, and our parts are in a new rocker cover with new rockers on them. You can see the damage before how crappy they were and then the new.
What they're supposed to look like closer to what they're supposed to look like new camshaft newer, and i think one of these i was looking at the picture - i almost didn't - buy this one. I thought it was cooked, but there's a heat treat. I think it is only case hardened, which is the outer extremities gets hardened when they temper it, and that's probably what that black is that you see there and as that black wears off it gets less and less hard underneath it it's a joke there anyway. So we got a can. I went with that. Uh oil filters got a case of oil filters and a oil, a um choke cable set up because the plunger is stuck on the ones in that little brass piece right there in the center of your screen is the piece that's stuck in the carburetor. Hopefully we could dig that out of there and replace it and hopefully that's the right stuff. Let's go spin around and start working on the bike, so i'm probably going to drain the oil out of it and then we have to have access to turn the engine over.
I don't know if that's going to be under this little cover right here it. My guess is, it can be like a drive that we can access to spin it with the plug out worst case. We use the kickstand, we got to get the top dead center and we need to get the chain tensioner off because you have to get this camshaft out of here. This is our goal we have to get to, and i kind of want to know where this is mark it before we take it apart, and i don't know what our access is on this side either.
I think i'm gon na drain the oil - i don't know if we're gon na - have to take this cover out of here or, if we're able, just like, i said, work with what we got, and i also want to change the oil anyway and change the oil Filter, i think it's under here, so let's get that going, get that draining while we're kind of screwing around with other stuff yeah too bad that ps get the oil filter out. I would think it could be the three on the outside, but i don't know what that little black cover is hiding. Let's just go pop those two screws out real, quick, nothing, just aesthetics, all right, let's get those three out. It's got an eight two tens.
It's kind of a misfit of hardware yeah: this is the workforce bleed out. I think i might have found a problem that oil filter might be on backwards. I think it goes the other way around, i'm doubly sure, but i think it goes from the inside of the cover grab something a little poker to get that out of there yeah, i'm pretty sure it faces towards the cover. You got any metal bits in it.
Yeah, that's not doing anything, that's that's the main oil feed right there, and that goes blank to nowhere. That should have the spring on the other side, wherever that went that piss out and that's supposed to go like that and that should fit. I believe on that cover not positive of that, but i'm pretty sure that's the way. It goes and that's just a a relief.
I think, if that even has a port in it, that's solid yeah. I think when we were spinning it, i was kind of questioning how much oil it had going to it. I do know we cracked the line on the top side. It was feeding some oil so we're going to confirm that, but i definitely think that might have been on there incorrectly that'd do.
It explains why the engine got crappy. It's amazing how one little thing could really screw you up. I think it goes to spring that o-ring is still good, that one looks decent piss the rest of the oil out and wipe it off yeah star for oil cause the top men to burn up one, how many of these machines kind of suffered that same yeah, Because you can feel like how snug that fits on that that hole there. Now that should go like that, go together, it's the little things that get you sometimes right. Where was the little one there, the eight was there. I don't think that matters. I think the threads are all the same size. I think somebody just lost one of the screws going in yeah.
I was blaming it on soft metals and all kinds of stuff with the engine. They were a lemon now, if you don't put the oil filter in correctly, that doesn't work too good here, go suck them down and see what getting that little plug out of the other side, see if you could turn the engine. I wonder if we polish, that stuff up the cam and the rockers and fix the oil thing if it would have stayed together. I don't think this is gon na fit, looks a little she's a tad wide.
Let's go hammer in, we might have to uh yeah. I got ta do a little creative grinding on that hey i'll, tell my mac dealer, it's an official honda tool. Now there we go. If i could use a coin, it has a cut in it like a a semi circle like you get a half dollar.
Hopefully that gives us something yeah, it's like a big bolt in the center. You can rotate that i don't know where the timing marks would be, though you know just another access hole for looking at that we're doing this without a manual. So far we have to get stuck we'll uh. Look it up, but i say probably what we can do is we'll stick a wrench or a screwdriver down the spark plug hole, we'll find top dead center and we'll find what the cam shaft is uh, with both valves open, which would be both cam lobes facing Down away from the rockers that'll be the compression stroke at top dead center and then probably we'll do is put a mark on the cam.
Let's see a mark there right now, so we'll see what we got we'll go back and forth. Get that set up. Let's see what we can find, i got a uh breaker bar on, so i can go forward and backwards with the motor. Let's go see i'm going to find that position where it kind of goes high and low.
I see ya, i see a sucky problem at the moment, you're like what the gear on the camshaft. Let me see it right about. There feels like top dead center, the gear and the camshaft straight up and down. If you can see the bolts, i don't know if we're gon na have access to the other bolt.
I don't know if you and i don't know if you get the whole assembly out of there. Let's go look before i jump over the other side. I'll show you what's gon na happen on, so it looks like there's a timing mark there and there so we're probably off just a hair. That's probably supposed to be.
You know turned back just a little bit like that something right about there and you can see that there's no lobe on the cam here and there's no low body cam here. So we are uh. You had a possibility of being 180 out which should be top dead center, but you'd have the a lobe up in a low buff working, both valves and you don't want that. You want on a compression stroke. So let's go now over to the other side. Again, the problem is, we don't have access to the bottom bolt. I was hoping we could just um bolt the two screws of the cam. Take the cam gear off.
Leave everything on and kind of, yeah take the camshaft out put the new one in there and and do its thing, but that's not going to work that way. So, let's go see what we got on the other end, this oil lines in our way. But let's get rid of that plug, so we got ta get tension off the chain. Okay feels weird, is that in the end of the cam shouldn't be, let's get the cam tensioner, which is this thing right here.
This holds tension on the chain assembly. That's going down and around and it holds pressure against it. We take that off. There should be a bunch of slack that comes in there, so it's got looks like a couple of ten millimeter heads on there.
Let's get them off get that out of the way. So i'm sitting here digging a hole, getting fuel pump out of the way some of this stuff. They get the tensioner off. It's got to come off anyway, and i thought to myself: why don't i just spin the motor around to where the cam is facing up i'll, get the bolt out from the other side, leave it out of there and we'll spin it back around and take this Side off, why do i have to have it where you know i'm trying to access it like that? Why i tell you why it's kind of dopey, so let's go, do that i'll spin it around take the one bolt out, then we'll come back to that one and and see what we make out after the tensioner is off.
What's he all saying work smarter, not harder, you decide enough to break it. I would figure they probably would have like a loctite on them. Looks like it all right spin that around and take the other one off work take out. The bolt out will get the tensioner tensioner off tension off the tensioner.
I think these are kind of automatic again i'm trying to go off a long long long time ago i took something like this apart. I think you kind of like pulling back and they they auto set themselves, if not we're gon na figure out what makes them tick inside right now, right, yeah yeah. I think i think, like you crank it in or something with the bolt i forget and then it'll automatically tension itself out either way we should have slopped up in the chain now yeah there you go more than enough. Let's go get that bolt out of it.
That should be enough to give us room. My guess get that up off of there and hopefully you can lift the cam shaft off this cap should come out too there you go easier to watch from the other side. Let's go look at the other side. Maybe that's a spin it so the lobes are facing up, maybe yeah it around, so that the lobes are up and they're, not fighting us. Yes, no, i wonder if i should get a. I don't think that cam will drop down too far come on you're. Almost there i'll get her. Unfortunately, i kind of need to stand where you are so i think i might kick you out, i'm going to hop that out i'll meet you over in the bench which i wiggle.
That thing out of there we're so close, come on i'll leave you on this side. I think what we can do is maybe get the chain right off of the gear. Let's throw something on it. Just in case you lose it and drop down inside the engine and we got it should be able to have more than enough room, because the gear should should come with it.
Come on. No, i refuse to look it up. I am going to struggle with it until i get it. I wonder if i can put the sprocket inward put this rocket back on there.
It goes that's it. Let me go put the sprocket on. Let's go tie that chain to the side. All right.
That's probably a good idea: huh. Let's go look at that mauled up surface that the cam has to spin on. Hopefully, that's not too terribly tore up. Let's go see what the cam looks like the surface looks pretty good this one, not so much.
You can see what the cam was just cooked kind of rolled over the edge right there. I feel the light doesn't get us too much. Maybe i'll move you hello, that's better. So my concern is we're using this cylinder head over.
Not taking that part out is the scoring that's occurred on that, bearing i don't think, that's a removable bearing it kind of looks it a little bit, though i don't think so. I don't think that shell comes out of there. Another thing you know you really want to try to maintain is a cam in the head that kind of polished together. We would want them to stay together, but unfortunately, nobody sold them.
As a set looks like we got some some rolled over there. I don't know what we can clean that up with maybe like a um, maybe like a scotch brite or something on a i don't know 2000 grit or something just get to see where that burr is right at and you want to call that three o'clock right There on the screen four o'clock and that one that one is gouged up and just kind of hanging there he's. Probably you know that one that was right there do our best to work with what we got right. Yeah.
It looks like it's just all part of the head, there's no bearing enough that comes out of there. I don't think that comes out. Let's go look at the other half of the the rocker cover see what that looks like okay. So that would be that surface right there.
This is the one the old one you can. Definitely the camshaft probably always wants to is getting pulled this direction away from there. So i don't think he did much damage to that. I'm not using this one over anyway.
Using the new one and that one over there, but again it's all just part, it's one part. I don't think it's a cap that comes out of there, not that i want to replace it anyway, all right. So, let's go see if we can get something to polish that up on the cylinder head, the best we can and just keep moving forward. Let's show the difference between the two there's, the one that's burned up that we took out the difference of that one. Yeah. Definitely, oil starvation did its number on it somewhere on. It actually has like a lip. I think it was right there that part of it on top too, it's kind of lost a little bit of the the point.
That's there isn't as pronounced how much it wore off yeah. You definitely can see it right there compared to right there all right, i'm not convinced i got to tap on that a little bit just to see if that's already sitting in there. I see some kind of like divot on the bottom if it's one it'll just pop right out. No, that's all one! Here's my thought.
I grab that a dremel set, i'm thinking - maybe one of these buffing wheels, probably one of the harder ones we'll set up an arbor with that and maybe some valve lapping compound, and we can kind of just kind of work that surface back a little bit polish. It up the best we can. Let's go see how yeah actually fits that contour pretty good nice. Let's go set up a little surgical blanket.
I want especially rubbing compound or lapping compounds it's a grit, so i don't want to go in everywhere. Let's go cut ourselves. A little peep window in for that much just enough where it doesn't get caught up in the uh that might have been a little too much. You need your hole too big, i'm gon na do another one on top of it kind of make it.
So we can do our thing without spreading crap everywhere i'll do another one and get it so that it's a little bit more tighter around the hole, so hmm, ah gon na work on that for a little while it looks like it took already the little nipple Off of there, let me go a little bit more aggressive. I don't know if i have a more aggressive compound. What grit this is they come in, like just like sandpaper, i'm gon na load. It up some more mix that around now nice all fling too much more of that in the lens of the camera.
I'm gon na keep working that i'll bring you back when we got her cleaned up so ended up using some 1500 grit. It cleaned up pretty good. You can still see where you know materials removed. It's not proud.
It's not proud! It's not sticking up. Okay. What we'll do is we'll throw a little bit of oil on it and throw the new cam in there just kind of spin. It a little bit see how it feels we should probably, if there's a way to do it, i wonder if we cannot watch side play.
I think it's going to be fine. I think again, once the oil supply gets to it and there's nothing proud that, where it's going to transfer aluminum to steel, you know that's usually where it's screwed, i think we'll be okay! Well, how much more we could do to it right if it had a cap that you can remove, you can replace that, but i might try taking the rocker cover. Take the rockers out of it bolt it together. Just make sure there's no binding on this. I don't think so, but again now those parts were more matched, it's kind of a mix match of stuff and there's no gasket that goes on here. You would think there would be, but there's not just use a probably honda bond that i have it's a just. A sealer that you put in between the two and just kind of take something fine imperfections up, we'll leave that out i'll see. If i can go, do that get the rocker assemblies off and we can put the whole cover on with no resistance.
Are we gon na yeah we might be able to get through because it's got a valve cover here and a valve cover here to be able to spin it. You know actually leave the rubber plug out of the end of it. Maybe we can do it there too. The rockers are going to be a bit of a pain he has to get out, so i'm going to leave them in place and i took the valve adjusters and i run them in ran them in and as long as it just spins.
I'm just i just don't want, i just want to make sure it's not going to bind on us, so i still got to clean it up. I cleaned up the valve surface and let's see if we can kind of set that on here how much slop it has on the pins. Now we're not down doesn't want to go pop that out yeah i can get to the end of the cam, and i can't turn the cam i'm gon na go see if i can grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers and we should probably throw Throw just a couple of bolts in it just to put some down pressure on it and make sure ain't nothing, but actually i'm gon na go take it all apart clean it. What was that? That's one of the nuts falling off, so we can make sure we don't drop them down inside the engine huh that would suck heats up that are all oiled up.
Let's go see if we can drop that on there without losing anything, get a bolt or two in it, see that cam still spins, with a mismatch of three different components from three different machines. We just suck down a couple around the camshaft, we'll see how they do yeah. Let's go see if that spins for us, okay, it's got no sealant on there, so i bring it up a hair, but not much, and that sounds afraid of no good worse. We can uh if we have to take the rockers and put them in the other rocker cover that we had.
I'm gon na go buzz these loose a little bit and see if i can spin it loose and see if there's just maybe a little bit of crud on it but uh. I think we're going to might have to go, swap some stuff over it backed off on the bolts and it spins it's not much room and plays not much so we're going to go pick away at that a little bit, i'm trying to figure out what i Want to do you know you put the sealer in there, it brings it up, maybe just a couple of foul. You know not much, and you put the sealer in you kind of let it cure up a little bit. Then you draw it down a little bit more. I might have to uh mark it with a sharpie and spin it and we'll see where it rubs. Looked over a bunch of stuff didn't see anything i'm going to make an executive decision yeah i get the feeling. It's just where the, where it's sitting just a little bit of a bur, not letting it drop down. Quite all the way i'm gon na i'm gon na do the same on the uh.
The rocker cover with the camshaft just kind of let it set into the the grooves a little and then wash it back up we'll. Try it one more time tapping a brass rod into the end of it. So they can. We can spin it and i'm just gon na snug down those bolts, the three that are around the camshaft and see if we can kind of maintain a good movement.
I didn't like that back one. It's close, i just don't want to fire it up and cause all hell to break loose, because it's it's bound up. You know, hey my opinion. Is they machine all these together? You know they're probably lined with the camshaft.
Maybe maybe not i don't know yeah. It seems kind of that one's about as tight as this gon na get that's now. It's spinning in there yeah feels pretty good. I think we'll be okay.
Again we get a little bit from the sealer. It's gon na, be in there and open that gap up. Just a hair, it's either going to blow up or it's going to work right. Unfortunately, there's no way to really feel how what the resistance is.
Once it's all together, you know once it came everything's on you're, not really going to be able to tell oh well. I see we move forward, so you know too much. We can do and uh start putting the cam chain everything back together and get some sealer on that and yeah we'll just be a little gingerly on cranking down on that. I guess yeah, i'm just going to leave it like that, took 400 grit in oil and when i, polish those journals a little bit more, i have a feeling just some of that damage that was on there that damage that was on.
There was kind of interfering with the uh cam spinning on there, so i'm gon na try one more time. I'm gon na make sure that i got it good to go before i try jacking it up. I could didn't have good faith to leave it like that. All right after several times of taking it apart, finally had the bolts around the cam tight and she's got play in it.
It ended up being actually the further back journal. I kept thinking with all the scoring in it. It wasn't because the more i kind of ran it around it would leave like a a black dust which is the aluminum kind of breaking up in the oil. So i want to kept polishing that up and then now it seems like it's fine.
Finally, that's without any sealer in there too to get that that hair of a gap doesn't allow it to have so all right. Finally, let's go put the cam gear and all that kind of stuff back together and hopefully start reassembling. This thing you know if it shows up see it right, fine there. It was darker than that, but in oil, but that, like this area, was always all staying clean when i was spinning it, but this would get darker and darker meaning it was taking a little bit of aluminum off as it was trying to spin. And finally, we got here: let's put the cam all together instead of trying to feed the chain and tighten it see if we can work with it as one unit and work the chain over it. Hmm, so so do hmm. I got to get that little cap, which i get straight up and down. I got ta get that little rubber cap set up for over here.
That's it'll be pretty much straight up and down the engine should not have turned. Hopefully, let's see if we can get. First, this out of here and the question is we're gon na - have enough room to get that up over the gear that how it is so yeah. I think, there's gon na be enough room to work that chain.
Let's try the other side close. I don't think we're going to be able to get it. Let's just make sure we're on that bottom gear. All the way it's kind of, let's see if we can walk that change, make sure it's seated it is.
We can get it to. I mean you, don't want to put it on like a bicycle chain. You're not looking to you know, crank it through it's you're gon na kill it. It's got ta be able to slop over itself uh.
Unfortunately, i think i'm gon na have to take the bolts out of it. I think we have the right idea, but i got ta be able to let the sprocket drop down a little bit just what it is right now, we'll buzz those bolts back out, we'll spin it around and um just kind of do a reverse. You know in the book there's a real simple way to do it, but what fun is that okay get that cam to spin all the way around. Now, let me get to that bottom bolt.
All right drop the bolt down in there all right, so we want to have the cam spin downward we're like 180 from what we should be something like that all right, and then we want to be able to get the chain onto the gear roughly in that Position are we doing it, so we got ta go one tooth that way. What do my timing marks? Look like you see him really paint those marks on the side, because i can get. I can get a bolt in right there. Let me go throw one in lightly: there's another joke there and then hopefully that bottom end did not turn and we're gon na look at those marks there and there both look good.
Okay, you guys can see him or not. So i'm gon na go suck down that bolt. It looks like if anything it can go this way a little bit, but when the chain gets tightened up with the tensioner, i think that'll take care of that. So let's go and run that top one in and now i got ta spin the engine over.
It won't be on top dead center anymore. But that's okay, we're keyed back together again we'll find out we'll uh do a um. You know after we get it all set, we'll go and uh just double check make sure our numbers are all our dimensions. Good, all right, i'm gon na go bolt that up a little bit and then i'll bring it right back all right. Try to crank her over to top dead center that'll, be both sets of valves down they're up now, and we should have, i think, we're there. Just let me back up, i think, we're right on there and we should be level across that looks pretty good. Stick that somewhere, so i'm looking at that mark and that mark being straight across the top of the head. That looks pretty good all right.
Let's go! Look at that auto tensioner how we get what we need to go do to go, set that back up and go from there all right! Here's that, let's see if we can figure out how, as far as i thought you crank it back see if it does anything, why not do anything you know drag one? I hate those things we backed off. Guess we could take it apart. Huh. Are we gon na hurt it? I wonder if there's like a set screw inside there, maybe maybe that doesn't do anything.
It's just a cover. I think, there's a little yeah we'll get a little screwdriver. There might be a little screw tip right in the center. Let's see yeah there, it goes.
Oh yeah, that's easy, does it? Oh, it's spring-loaded. So how do you get it? I wonder if you could lock it like in place or something like? How would you hold it? Would you just when you put it in you just kind of hold it back like that and it's just maybe i guess we could do that. I guess it won't hurt right because that's all the way out - and you know whatever over time. Yes, that allows it to come out and then, whatever the tension of the chain or the um, the chain tensioner, which is that looks like i um look at a rack of ribs, a rack, a rib one rib that this thing kind of pushes against and that That rib kind of pushes against the chain keeps the slack out and then, as it wears over time, it allows it to come out more more and more, but it can't push back in.
So that's the how it makes the final adjustment. So that's what we'll do we'll just kind of crank that sucker in hold it with a screwdriver bolt the two bolts in and let it rip now. Let's go just go, pushing and see how far it goes without doing anything, curry gives an idea how much we got right there yeah. So that's how much it has to get turned back, which i guess is good.
That means how much you know tension is on the chain. I mean how much life is in the chain nice little bit of a to hold that back, though huh there's not much straight shot to get back here, yeah. Maybe i guess i should get some bolts ready too. You know when you guys are all in the hand, sounds like that, allows it to go in and just bolt it up kind of goober it up with a thin little layer of honda bond kind of maintains.
A rubbery surface thin as possible speak now. You see anything, i'm missing tell me later get the bolt out of there wire. That's it throwing some bolts in there and snug her down. Hopefully, the cam still turns the bolts are snugged down, hopefully wrong way. It's rocking the valves right now, so good, it's bound up. It's not that bound up all right. I think i got it buttoned up enough to spin it if the plug is still out, let's kind of listen to it, two quarts of oil in it, let's see what we get. If anything sounds better already, let's go crack that oil line.
It may take a little while for it to prime it. Let's go see if you get you know, the biggest thing is oil. Getting to the top of that that cylinder, i think i just lost the compression washer. Oh there we go like to see that all right, let me go find that washer bolt that back up again, that's the kind of oil we get to the top end.
That's pretty good yeah, just drowning that camshaft in oil now compared to before. I don't think it was getting much if anything and that's spinning slow too, not rubbing her up nice. Let's go put the spark plug back in it put those valve covers on. I did adjust the valves already same as if you haven't you, don't want to see it it's on the first video, but the valve covers up with the plug in it and see if we can fire it up, see what sounds like.
I don't want the capacity to choke it. The choke is still jammed up inside there. Let's see what it does like to square it off. One of these buttons come on all right quickly.
Oh that's! A lot quieter! Oh yeah, like a kit, starts knocking it blows up. That's much better awesome. Just got ta run a minute. I got ta top the oil off of that too.
I got two quarts in it to let the pump fill up and let it run through nice. Let's go a couple of rounds i'll. Take it awesome, i'm not going to count it as a success. Yet i get a little bit of time on it.
Hopefully we're not dripping oil, nice, nice, nice, i'm gon na. Let her run a couple of minutes. Probably the next thing we can get on is that carburetor we got ta, get that broken enrichment or choke valve out of there. I tapped it, i shouldn't have done, but it was running rich with it like a choke on.
It was kind of running funny and the levers up there i can push down, wouldn't make any difference. I popped it off over the table, is here somewhere and found that the plunger was stuck in the up position that guy, so i tapped it back down to keep it run right and it does. But you know, of course, now that the ends of it are broken off, so we got to figure out how to get that out of there. That sounds good huh, no flacking, no, nothing all right, call start or restart.
I'm happy with that. All right in the car down in that hole, it's a plunger. It looks like that. It's all stuck and jammed in there the cable catches on these two little nipples on the top.
These are broken off and together to run right. I actually ended up tapping it down a little further. I soaked it in some pb blaster overnight. Let's see how that goes, i don't there's anything left. I don't think so. I was kind of hoping i'd get in there with like a screwdriver and be able to get a little bit of a rotate on it. Get it pulled up. I think we're gon na have to come in probably with the drill bit right down the center of it, so you can get a hole down the center, maybe get an easy out in it like a screw, possibly get it to turn.
I know if we're better off taking that carb out of there on the bench or working kind of right, where it is i'm going to loosen the boot up a little bit, so you can tilt it towards us to look at it. If so, if not we'll, i will put it in the vise there's a little bit left on there. I don't know if you can get a screwdriver on it. Okay, you get a little bit of a turn out of it down it, though.
Maybe that piece is just breaking off right: juices kind of work up, you figure, it's probably like the same with a when the carb bowl gets crappy. It's the uh, the piece there. It is that out of there, the carbon carbon, the cakiness varnish. That's not a word, i'm looking for that builds up might be.
What's in there. Also that caused it yeah. You got much to work with huh, there's just a little tip on that side, not enough to go turn. I don't know if you can get any nose.
Pliers on that, neither it's just a little to work. With we look light, we can see a little better. I just can't what are wire cutters. These are a little more stout.
Oh no way don't get over excited ain't on it, yet right, better she's on the move, you guys getting saturated with light. Can i get on there so close? It's like right there. Let me get under it with a pick. Maybe so i need like two of these.
I think that, unfortunately, that's where it was stuck before, so it probably has a ridge that it hits and as far as it would come up, i thought we can get it, but i don't know what a dentist feels like i think, might be right. I'm just trying to drill a hole right down through the center. I'm still going to get i'm going to pick away a little bit and go move you guys out of the way, because i can get a better shot coming from that angle. Kind of working on the side right now see i can get in with like a little dremel dremel a little key slot in there and get screwdriver in it again.
Do the rotating to break the crud off of it. It's coming out, just doesn't know it yet. Unfortunately, i ended up pushing it back down. You're gon na have to go in and drill hey, take an air gun blow out all those little remnants, because that's gon na definitely jam up on the sides.
Watch your eyes yeah. Maybe i wonder if we could actually take the drill bit, but if we take the drill bit backwards, just kind of jam it in there and how deep i got, can we arc it to the side and pull up on it? What i mean not very deep, but i don't want to go break through the side of it and screw up the board either. You know i'm gon na blow that a little bit better, so you can get a yeah an easy out in there. That's what i mean by easy out: the lights, can you, but where is it see? It's got a little barrel on it. You could generally on a screw and a screw breaks off, and that's normally what you use them on. You jam it in and, as you rotate it in there, it wants to unthread the screw coming out. We don't have threads in there, but if we can get that, no it's too large, too small. Rather, if we can get that to jam in there against the walls, you kind of twist it a little bit and pull up my problem is it's brass, so as you you push that tip in there it kind of spreads it out.
It actually gets tighter against the walls, so so i decided to drill in a little deeper lookie. What happened awesome. I don't know if that's the same size or not, but i got lucky it spun it in the bore and gave enough to get out of there. Now getting all that crap out of there, which is going to be next to impossible, um yeah and try to tilt that carburetor upside down, maybe blowing it out with some air.
We got it. Hopefully, the new one's the same one took a pic and i just kind of drew up. Let's just see, if you can rinse it out, they fill it up with carb cleaner and hopefully they let it fill up. I'm not sure what it has for a passage down there.
You know that's not hurting it. If we find that our choke does not work later see that packaging package that plus that passage, got blocked off. I'm gon na go blow out compressed air now and i hope for the best. Of course we have to take it apart and you know put in the ultrasonic cleaning so be it, but at least you get that piece out of there.
The diameter looks the same, but the length is definitely much more and i don't think we're going to have that's probably going to pop right up. You know be up out of the groove. I know it came with a lot of cable stuff. I wonder if there's room inside like that jacket, for it to go like it can like live a little proud of it.
Let's go see, what's on the end of the other, cable actually looks like that might be able to go in there. I think the other one does the same thing though yeah. I think that the same setup not sure it doesn't. Actually, i won't even thread it in there anyway.
Will it totally different thread set up yeah, that's not even going to go in there. I wonder if we can: let's go put that barrel on that cable. You know what actually before we do anything i'm gon na go upstairs and look at my uh carburetor stash. Just in case we have one of the steel parts from any of that style of carburetor.
Don't recall at all i'll keep picking away. We do we. Do we don't we'll make what we got work. I can't possibly be it yet. Hmm go bring that down. So you can get that out of there see what size it is kind of even looks like the same. Carburetor too. Doesn't it closing that one's a little shorter yeah that one's shorter so realize it came in so many sizes uh? I think this one.
We can probably work with maybe just lengthen the cable go screw around, see how it makes out. So that's what it looks like without the plastic bezel on it says choke off and choke on, and this is that little bezel that was on the inside of it. There, the problem is: there's a stopper where this body hits it can only draw up so far, there's no adjustment. A lot of times.
You have like an adjustment on the cable. You can run it in and out and get some out of it. There is no adjustment on the upper end or the lower end. What i think we could possibly do, though, is maybe we just drill that right out, so that this whole assembly can kind of slide up more because right now it's well.
You see that groove right there that groove has a clip that goes in and grabs it on that and it just bottoms up. I was able to drill it and we need about that much more room. If we can do that and then possibly i don't know epoxy or something that the top of it to hold it in place or put a clamp or something on it to locate it on the cable, it should work. Let's go see what we get sticking in the hole before we get into that make sure it even plays well with others.
I'll put you in a stand sock if it doesn't even fit right, that's good! So that's all the way down, yeah so right there. So i think that'll work i'll drill that out i'll have a cable to drop down a little bit further and that's kind of where it needs to be held. And then, if you could pull the choke up, which is also doing is that pin is opening a path on the inside. So it's got just got to travel that that much, if that all right go put it together, i kind of didn't open the hole up.
All the way just so, this actually has some drag on that metal barb. So we can actually kind of you know influence where it stays, so it might get give us a better shot. That is what choke off choke on. I can spin that in there let's go put that together, we'll fire it up and we'll see.
If we get choke working and not working, we should be able to hear it the way it sounds different too and again, i can tug on that a little bit right now that should be choked on run a second choked off choked on you hear it see. What's making the difference, i had the lever in the opposition right about there, i'm going to try to figure out how to anchor that, so it doesn't move. That's what hold it just put a clamp around it, so it can't pull the cable in and then pull up on the joke now install a little poof generally, you know, even if it's 70 degrees out and it's cold, you really don't even need it. My other machine, my suzuki, is pretty much that way so good. We can start buttoning up all the things that need to get buttoned up as far as sheet metal and tins and plastic. We can put a battery in it. I think i'll fast forward and all that junk and oh, if i find anything, that's kind of goofy i'll bring you back. If not uh i'll see you at some point, i'm not sure we're gon na return, but uh again we start buttoning some stuff up at the motor mount back on the top.
All the plastic that for the intake, got a new air filter for it all that kind of stuff new oil filter oil filter, air filter. Actually, maybe oil filter is the correct way to say it, because you take some coral soak into the filter, then you ring out the best. You can that's how it collects dust, oil, air filter and new battery. Let's go see what we got.
We on dc anything out of 12 4. I got to charge it yeah good enough, full fully charged battery, probably around 12 9.. It's looking pretty good other than you know, chasing hardware that was missing and finding you know, nuts and bolts and bending brackets to line back up again. We are pretty much there, except for just putting outside skin on, and i figure maybe before that we'll see if we can play doctor on this front end here.
I don't have this piece, that's missing all together. I grab one of these glue guns. I call it. That's called something else: what's a guess, plastic welding gun and it has a bunch of different sizes of like letter s and it goes into a probe, it heats it up and it kind of goes into.
The plastic kind of the same idea is drilling two holes and putting tie wrap through the plastics and stitching them back up, but done with these never tried it. Let's go see how it works. That's what it looks like a little branding iron looking thing haven't, pulled the trigger. Yet, let's see what happens, smoke's pretty quick, all right, let's give one a shot.
Actually, let's go for the an easy crack just go for it now. Do i wait till it cools before i pull it out, be my guess right. I also just come right out with it. There we go neat.
I think you just cut off the excess when it's done. I'm gon na leave those on for now. Pliers are hurting more than helping yeah see if you could throw a couple more in there. Let's try burn myself, that's like powerful monkeys.
I wonder if the no okay, i was freaking, that's gon na get pretty cooking every time. You want to go change a bit or a tip or whatever you want to call it a staple get in there. I want to say that's the most graceful. I should probably keep my finger off the trigger too right.
I didn't break one off it's fine here. It goes tight all right, but you don't have to put it in that far. Stop it pretty cool idea. Let me knock a bunch of those out i'll bring you back, we'll see how it does yeah, that's not exactly the best first.
Getting them in seems like either the staples have a lot of crud on them work a little bit see we get um so didn't like that one. I think it overheated and turns on for a second. It goes right out. Will it cool off see if it comes back again, it's new to me that turned into a pile of crap rather quickly, didn't it i'll, let it sit for about a half hour. Okay, i, like it. Oh yeah, your mig welder. It's got a duty cycle. It doesn't say anything in the paperwork, but again the paperwork.
Is that that's your paperwork! Good luck! So it's after a half hour and yeah get about five to ten seconds and it just shuts off before the coil even gets hot. If you take the piece off of it and don't and just hit the trigger with nothing, it stays going. My guess it's got a fuse in it all three and the fuse probably goes like a resettable fees, be my guess inside here, something let's shut off and turn back on again or it could just be a piece of crap. Just saying.
There's a light up in here it could be um. I would think that wire probably just goes right to each. I side really open it. It's got screws in, but i think it's soldered together.
This will get one and plug it. I in already one minute, then the light kind of tells you when it's working, that's it you get like it stays on and it cooled off for like a half hour or so so i think it's a piece of crap. The idea is good. I think that's a piece of crap i went in deeper, took those two screws out and that just pulled out.
It's got a light on the end of it and remember it's plugged in right now. So what resets that chip, where it kind of feels too much current a little bb, resistor right there or diode? Well, i've asserted! I have what you call it. I've gone back to old, faithful a glue gun just kind of going over. What's there, i can let that thing cool off.
Let me try it tomorrow. Maybe i was overdoing it. I don't know, but i could always work on it. While it's on, i figured it'd just be easier right now doing it.
This way, i'm just gon na go inject some glue that for the win for now well, i was gon na make a piece for there out of a red plastic lid, but without those staples i don't think it's gon na have a very good success rate. Glue. Doesn't really stick the plastic? All that great. I don't expect much of a uh outcome, but it'll help kind of sorta again, i'm either gon na try to find another one of those yeah that does tomorrow if it overheats that quick that kind of sucks.
Let me try to find a better one. I like the idea and yeah. I could do the patch when it's on we're gon na keep moving forward. Now, i'm gon na go throw this back on the machine and uh get it ready to rock and roll we're.
Almost there, you know what time it is time to play, see how she does all right. Let's figure out how reverse works. You get something like that. You can knock it down one gear, alright, guys whoops a little starting gear. Hmm, let's go for some heavy snow right away. Brakes haven't been used in a little while so temporary failure. I think it's having a fuel starvation problem. I'm gon na try and correct that bent on the ball loose see how much gas you get out of it.
It's happening right there. It doesn't look bad, i'm gon na have water in it too, from pressure washing it. I don't think it would have got in there, but grab ourself a cup, so my screw up was the enrichment or choke cable. I had routed through here.
It's supposed to go under there, so when i went and i turned the handlebars, it pulled up on the cable and it could not retract the choke, so it was running with the choke on that would do it so reroute it. I think i'm gon na take actually a hot glue gun. Put some around there. Just try to tie these two together and if you ever have to take it apart, you can peel the hot glue off, see how that works out for us.
Let the games begin. So so in the face so well she's breaking up a little bit, i'm not quite sure why then it recovers breaks up then it recovers kind of seems like it's a fuel issue like it's actually getting a little too much uh probably have to go investigate a Little bit see what's going on, but it seems like everything else works. Okay, four-wheel drive seems like decent brakes are doing what they should be doing. It's a fun toy, but i think on this video as well as far as we're gon na go get.
I already checked the differential fluids that kind of stuff and all those were okay, but i want to go through and bleed the brakes and you know kind of get into it a little bit more. Do some fine tuning and figure out what is going on with the uh, the stuttering of it through a new plug in it's, not that anything, possibly i'm thinking it's possible. Maybe the valves are a little too tight and we're starting to lose a little compression. That's just a guess on my end right now, but yep.
If i would have cleaned it earlier, it would have been fine, but because i didn't clean it, nothing see anything terrible other than just your average kind of patina the pin on the slide. This adjusts the air fuel, this adjusts the fuel mixture to the air. This is the pin that pulls out of the venturi of the fuel and allows more fuel, as you give it throttle, and it's got a little snap ring on the top that you can adjust up and down to increase or decrease what the amount of fuel it's Getting over its uh window right now, it's on the middle one. It is such a pain ass to get to.
You definitely have to pretty much tear it down almost this level just to get to that to go change it i mean not to take jets and everything out, but you got to be able to access this cover. The top cover pull the assembly out with the linkage and get to it. So i don't know if i'm going to change that or not while i'm going through it, i'm still going to go through readjust the valves, while i'm at it that far down, and if i don't see anything with the valves, then i may go with playing with.
My day is complete now !
