Best most informative no bs Chinese motor video I’ve seen yet. Thank you

[@alanyuan1049]

Thanks Joe, your video helped many of our time!

[@Big88Country]

Thanks, Joey, good info my man! I got the 125cc on a go kart for my grandkids and within 4 hours their fathers broke the spark plug off in the cylinder. Timing this was my main goal and you answered it great!

[@samscreativefarm]

this is a good video I like the way you balance giving a lot of detail whilst delivering the information efficiently without going off topic.

[@unprofessionaljoe7233]

Thanks my man. Some cunts complain that I took to long but I try explaining things like someone has little to no knowledge . Appreciate the kind words my man

[@trevorc9658]

Thanks so much for the video. I was able to fix my nephews quad and your video helped a lot when it came time to get the timing chain and head off.

[@framerjayvesey7324]

Awesome vid man!! I came here simply trying to find out the best way to replace a starter. And now I know how to do the whole thing. I don’t smoke. But I’ll grab a few beers and gitter done! Cheers!

i have learned so much i may never need a mechanic ever again. wowowee thank you so much

[@AllTHINGSTRAMS]

Thanks a lot for putting up this video,real helpful. I changed the top head of my cylinder head but did know I would of put it out of timing. Was working fine before I did it,now won’t start. Never worked on my quad engine before. Now I know what I’m doing hopefully now I can get it running again. Thanks

[@bp1767]

Well done video. My Chinese engine (Tao) had a mark and letters on the timing gear, but they were together and not opposite each other. A good thing to know is the valves will be closed at top dead center (TDC), so that's how I knew whether they should point toward the notch on the front of the head, or the two prongs on the back of the head. For mine, the dot and letters pointed towards the valve side where there was a small "V" notch in the head.

[@donreed1108]

This isn’t a “tear down” this is a top end rebuild

[@joelyons7085]

hey Joey I got a question for you I own a 200cc Roketa 2006 when I take the cover off where the flywheel and stator sit is there supposed to be oil in there because I have looked it up and I have not found anything plus I bought a new wire harness and stator it's Sparks and then it doesn't Spark I'm wondering the oil that is on the flywheel is killing the spark

[@juliethomas6897]

Good video,,thanks for sharing this!!

[@KERNFUZED]

Hey Bud Thankx Alot gota redo mine kid buggerd out the sparkplug hole ..but other that this little 107 or 110 is tough... all i did so far was put blue box on it Anand bore n dimple the intake run a 22mm.. revs out..cool to see what getn into...gota get big sack and about 6 hrs aalone!! And Plenty OZZY...

[@JJ-wg1jt]

I have a problem with 1 of the 4 long cylinder bolts , without having removed the upper and lower cylinder, I think it is slightly stripped where the rod goes into the casing. After tightening the nut, it only takes a little torque to cause it to turn around and become loose again. This is causing oil to seep out of the top of the cylinder, around the rod and loose nut. I tried using Heavy Duty, Oil resistant Marine JB Weld seemed to work for a little but then eventually cracked. Any ideas? Or do I need to replace the casing or can these things be re threaded? Thanks for any advice!

[@Snailmailtrucker]

Excellent video brother ! Liked/Subscribed !

[@flaron5881]

Not sure if this will reach you, but I’m trying to figure out how to adjust where the piston head is in relation to the mark on my fly wheel. When I line up the mark on my flywheel to the one in my case, the piston head is all the way at the bottom of the cylinder. The original flywheel that came with the bike I bought was completely rusted because there was a crack in the cover which caused water to sit inside and rust it to pieces. Is there a way for me to adjust where the piston head is without adjusting the position of the flywheel?

[@JPLong]

Awesome video. I'm struggling with getting the right parts for my atv. It's got stamping of 124 on the jug. But measurements of the head gasket are 53mm diameter indicating 110cc. Also the original problem is that it leaks oil between head and jug. The seal that sat in recessed part next to chain was blown But is there another ring around the one stud? Thanks!

[@robertemberton8190]

Great video, showed me exactly what I needed! THANKS!

[@bg307]

Hey man i took the cover off of the clutch side and a small metal cylinder/sleeve popped out of the center I slid it back in but was there a spring behind it to make it pop out?

[@jasonsmith9280]

Joeybatts Batts you mentioned the metal debris from the clutch. I need to clean all of that out before putting the new clutch in and getting it running again. Do I need to clean out anything else besides the side where the clutch is? Any reason to breakdown any further? Any advice would be awesome as this is my first adventure inside a motor of any kind. :/ Thanks for the video, btw. Extremely informative!!

[@heniutek]

Thanks From Poland Bro :D

[@artimusprimeoutdoors]

great vid. thanks

[@bg307]

Does the casting move freely by hand? Mine gets tougher to turn every half turn and my new starter won't crank

[@jimpaul9738]

great video and really enjoyed black sabbath war pigs

[@e.l.8824]

Thank you very much !! Best tutorial. After doing the alignment of timing, check for proper compression with tumb on the spark-plug-whole, while turning the flywheel (best with starter-motor, second person) If not so, loose camshaft sprocket and turn exaxtly 360 degree towards the camshaft, and reassemble the sprocket with the 3 bolts. Test again. Pay attention to the chain-tensioner. If not proper working, spillover of chain occors and motor will not start any more - drives you crayzy: Spark ok, Gas delivery ok, motor will not start.....

[@e.l.8824]

"towards the camshaft" means hold the camshaft in place and turn the sprocket 360 degree, reasseble the bolts.

[@nexus7tablet610]

can the reverse gear system fit into standard kick start cases?

[@tedstogianos552]

I'm at the point where I have to put the sproket on cylinder assembly, but I don't have the slack on the chain to line up sproket...it's there but not there...this is a raptor 90..any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks

[@jrwagner6700]

I got mine nieces a brane new 125 coolster I was was changing the breake in oil an I took out out the other bolt with the spring in an when the bolt came out the spring an the rod came out flying I was not sure which one went in first so I stuck the spring in first an it got stuck so I tried to use a pick but I could not get it it went in ferther so do I have to completely tear down the engin just to get the spring out

Well, I hope these fuckers are payin ya well for the amount of demands they’ve got for you now. I guess that’s the KZbins way of sAyin you’re a legit bad ass bike mechanic. I’ve searched several videos on the fly wheel timing cause I knew those marks meant something except I didn’t have a correct one to go off of and I don’t speak Chinese though I like to get get chineses eyed. Any who, once your done making all the video requests and giving advice and idk cutting their lawns or whatever cause they obviously respect your work. (Show some love Pay em so paper people!! Cough cough). Oh yeah once your done I got first few rounds for ya. after that I can’t make any promises.. but If there’s alien like crop circles in your front lawn the next day. I’ll tell you what I tell everyone else that makes those claims .. it might be some sorta flywheel marking to indicate proper timing between the piston and the spark plug!! cause if the timings off everything’s off. and the universe depends on the correct timing for everything to work in perfect harmony!!

What kind of gasket kit should I get for a engine like this

[@Scrapy-ih7ob]

I Have 110cc watched the video... dove into a project i have, just easy tear down to inspect the engine... Sat for 9 yrs... what neglect. but any ways while putting it back together your video was extremely helpful, except i have extra part... i cant figure out where it came from ( sleeve with cone shape) or (guide) what ever its called, i cant figure out what whole it feel out of. Any help would be huge.. new gasket are in route so i would like to put this back together this weekend... thanks , JOE

[@JovianStone_]

I noticed the gasket you're using between the cylinder and the valve head is that rigid composite gasket, rather than the flexible cardboard gasket. I was wondering if you've ever had any problems/issues with that setup? I have an extra rigid gasket and to me it seems like a better choice over the cardboard, but I'm not an expert or anything. Perhaps it doesn't seal quite as well? Edit: It's possible that on my engine, someone mistakenly used the cardboard gasket for the valve head (combustion chamber area). I just noticed on another video that the darker rigid gasket was used, just like in your video.

[@MrLeviaFUN]

Good video, very informative. One question. My ATV has a 50mm piston, but I only find 52mm piston kits. If I replace the cylinder block together with the piston, rings, etc, will it be okay or will it cause problems ? Thanks

[@marvinholmes23]

Can you please tell me how to loosen the bolts to get ghe crankcase off so that i can put the chain onto the starter? I can't seem to get the bolts to budge at all and i dont want to force and break something, any help would be greatly appreciated

[@unprofessionaljoe7233]

take a small propane torch and heat the bolt. let it cool then try again. you will wreck your gasket but canadian tire or any automotive store will sell "the right stuff" which is a grate liquid gasket you can use to replace.

If the engine timing is right, you just screw it in. This bolt applies tension to the chain. The fluid that is coming out is your engine oil.

[@MsTalkintina]

@@tomastotrenaki I didn't see a spring on mine or in your video. So some have a spring and some don't?

[@capchassuck]

I have a question. I got a 110cc Tao engine on eBay for 220 bucks first thing I noticed getting I changed over and the packaging oil changed out, shifter and kick starter on wires hooked up. the engine won't turn unless the spark plug is taken out maybe the piston was put in backwards or something.. there is just no clearance with the spark plug and piston could this be corrected? Would it also be a timing issue or what all I know and I'm using the spark plug it came with there is just no clearance it is locked up when ever the spark plug is in. And this engine is brand new out of the box...

[@unprofessionaljoe7233]

I would check to see if there is any damage to the spark plugs. If the end has been hit I would first try finding a shorter plug.

[@capchassuck]

I didn't kick it hard. there was no damage because right away I knew something was wrong so I put a copper washer from an old brake line fitting under the spark plug and it works
