It sold a long time ago

2007

I do have a fuel shutoff on mine, but don't always use it. Sometimes it can cause the carb to flood, but if you shut off the fuel and leave it for a long time, the fuel can evaporate and gum up and cause problems with the inside of the carb

The truck is a 1997 Dakota with the 5.2L 318ci magnum engine. For this engine you can remove the thermostat and reinstall the thermostat housing to keep the cooling loop complete and still run the engine. To do the flush, remove the upper rad hose. With a garden hose send clean water through the top radiator port, and let the disconnected upper hose be where the water exits the engine. Collect the flushed water in a bucket to watch for any debris and also check for when the water comes out clear. Hope this helps!

@fuel_up thanks man, helps a lot 👍🏻 I'm gonna try it on my Gen 4 ram 5.7 and see if it will seal well enough without the thermostat.

Glad you like it! 👍

Very true! Came across this method many years ago and it is a great way to keep your tools organized!

Hard to beat!!

Good to know. That sounds like a cool project!

More power would definitely be nice

Good idea!

We never figured out if there was an easy fix, so ended up replacing the entire transmission unfortunately

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing! That would have been much easier

Thanks! It's a fun machine to ride

Thanks! It was a fun project to work on. 🛠

I don't have any specific links. My favorite place to find parts is definitely Amazon. Try to find a part number off your current parts to help your search. Basically all pocket bikes are the same, so I don't think the brand/model matter, you mostly would want a part that looks similar. Hope this helps!

Very true

Good idea

​@fuel_up haha wouldn't hurt, do you remember if that air compressor is oil less. Been eyeing one for a bit but I don't want it if it's oil less

😂

Since we were doing a flush, we just used the garden hose because we needed lots of water. Then we let is all drain out. If you are using concentrated antifreeze to refill the system, then you would want to mix it with distilled water.

People say this all the time and they don't know WHY they are saying this. You only need Distilled if you're planning on putting the petcock back in, closing the rad cap and running the engine to temp to clean out any stubborn debris. You use distilled for this because there's no mineral content. If you're just flushing the system like this, you don't have to use distilled, you empty the system after you turn the water off and you fill it back up with Coolant. Running hard water through a cooling system is not bad for it, running a closed cooling system with hard water for long periods of time is where the damage comes from mineral buildup.

The video says how to remove the cover at 0:12. You pop off the cover and slide it along the wiper arm. Then remove the nut holder on the wiper arm.

Thanks! Stay tuned for more progress videos

We checked all external components and there were no issues. It ended up being internal, so we just replaced the entire transmission.

Maybe try to adjust the carb with the fuel and idle screws

I have another portable air compressor, so I decided to sell this one

A little bit of movement is fine

@ Does yours move a bit? Wasn’t sure if that peg from radiator that goes into the hole of the top bracket should be a tight fit or not

I'm not sure. It looked like only a 10hp engine, but with it being so old, it probably lost some power over the years

@@fuel_up Yeah. But anyways the tractor is very cool!

That seems to be everyone's thoughts. More power = more better 💪

Lol! Yeah if you have people to fix this or the money!

I put that in there as a bit of a joke. Good find! You're the first one to comment about it

@@fuel_up Right on! I do appreciate the video tho! Made my oil change quick and painless! Happy New Year!

Good to know!

That's a good idea! I've never heard of doing that before.

Great car all around. It is especially fun with the manual transmission. It's also great on fuel. No complaints about it and would definitely buy another one in the future.

Sold it as is. The next guy can decide if he wants to reinstall the other parts

👍

Yes it is a Honda mini moto!

@ do you know anything about them ? Is it actually made by Honda ?

I don't know who it's made by. I know that Razor makes a similar bike

I didn't make a long video as I had no clue what I was doing. For the Delphi steering box rebuild I watched a series by Matthew Jeschke on KZbin and he does quite a thorough teardown and rebuild

@@fuel_up thank you! I did see this not quite the same we have the 700 but great info and watch much appreciated

The truck ran fine

That would be ideal. But it's still quite fun as is! 🛵

It was just for the picture 📸

Stay Tuned!!

A long video is posted on going through the Argo and doing some maintenance to it before taking it on an adventure!

What's your guess?

@fuel_up if it's a 7 hp I say 72 til 82

This is part of the maintenance on seadoo jetskis that have a supercharger. This model is a 2008 Seadoo GTX 215

You're welcome!

That's cool. I couldn't find much info on where a Dirt Bug was ever sold

@ yeah it wasn’t a dirt bug, but it was a real plain Jane red minibike with no suspension and scrub brakes. I think it had a 3 1/2 hp Tecumseh on it. when I was a kid, we used to go down there and sit on them all the time. That was like 1968

@ there’s a few guys on KZbin like musky1 pterodactyl these guys are pretty knowledgeable and they may know who sold them
