2003 Yamaha Kodiak That Needs Some Love

[@richg0404]

It doesn't get mentioned enough here but one of the things I like best about Mustie1's videos is that they don't have the yelling, and flash and begging for likes or begging for follows on other social media platforms that 95% of other youtube creators have. Thank you Mustie1 for the consistent high quality content.

[@spudth]

How many of us are sitting here watching Darren adjust the valves with the timing chain adjust right there screaming "ADJUST ME!!!" ? In my short experience, a timing chain adjustment can have more effect and provide more satisfaction than valve adjustments ever do.

[@kevins4229]

It get's mentioned a lot. Because he is one of the only KZbinrs that doesn't harass people to like, subscribe, doesn't do sponsors but I am sure he has plenty of offers. Good on him! I will always come back to support him based on the above

[@WolfmanDude]

Also no agression, conflict and big egos talking down to you. He feels like a good friend, not some arrogant know-it-all internet personality. I just love to positive and inviting atmosphere.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Yes, no musical or graphical intro intro, no talking head routine (telling viewers what he's going to do before he does it), filmed in 1st person POV so that most of what we see is his hands doing the work. All these and more, are major pluses.

[@parkerlich5617]

When I was a young teen back in the '50s I bought a used Zundapp motorbike. Among several problems, the one that concerned me the most was the rear tire was worn right down to exposed cords. Not having the money for new tires, I had the idea to coat the cords with some type of glue in order to keep the cords from rotting or being abraded any further. My parents had a small bottle of contact cement, so I used that, applying several coats. I rode that motorbike daily for several years and that cement held up just fine. Recently a neighbor asked me if I could patch a tubeless golf cart tire that had three holes in it. I first tried regular tire plugs but the golf cart tire carcass was too thin for the plugs to work successfully. I had some old car tire tubes that I figured I could cut to make patches for the inside of the tire. Remembering my success with using contact cement to bond to the rubber tires of my old motorbike, I applied a generous coating to the innertube patch, as well as the inside of the cart tire, applied the patch, then added another coat of cement over the whole patch area. Remounted the tire, aired it up and voila, no leak, even a year later! Contact cement to the rescue once again!👍

[@gregdcross]

20 years ago I would sit down at and watch CBS Sunday Morning while drinking coffee. I no longer watch that program and Saturday nights I go to sleep hoping a Mustie1 video is loaded for Sunday morning. A new tradition which I enjoy a whole lot more. Darren you have more than a mechanical gift. To draw us in in the way you do is very rare. I hope you get as much enjoyment making the videos as I do watching them.

[@miltonodom8576]

My brother gave me a diesel engine valve roller for my patches. Things folks gotta use when they're poor. Necessity, the mother of invention.

Mustie1 is my Sunday video 1 and usually PF is second. PF is second but is is not #2. Neither one of these gentlemen ever drop a deuce in their videos.

I have to slow PF down to 3/4 speed, then he's good.

[@JohnnieBravo1]

Hey Mustie; If that quad has a "Parking Brake" on the left hand brake handle (like my Yamaha Warrior has) those things are notorious for sticking, and not letting the engine rev when the brake is released. There is supposed to be a way to defeat that, but I got mine working okay, so I never looked further into it.

[@echobeefpv8530]

I look forward to a part 2 on this !! I find this an interesting problem, also it needs more love, as you have said. These videos are a Sunday ritual for myself and many others, and I thank you !

[@ronniepirtlejr2606]

The garage I used to work in when I was younger Misty, He would sometimes use a big C-clamp to hold the patch in place while it dried.

My favorite part of Mustie's videos is his ability to laugh at stuff that would make me yell 4 letter words...

[@gavinbrown5351]

Yeah but the best swear words are made this way!

[@wiktorborowski11]

So, I had the same problem and my solution was the fuel line was full of gunk and it wasnt sucking enough Fuel to go gull trothel. And the last couple seconds you said there was nothing wrong with it your right, But because it was standing so long without being started the Fuel got to the carburator but I am sure if u raved it for a little longer it would turn off..... Sorry for my bad English i did my best😊😊 Greatings poland& Holland ❤

[@brh4115]

When we were kids we had a tire patch kit with a clamp that held the patch in place and it had chemical coating that was lit 🔥. It would flare like gun powder then go out to create vulcanization of the rubber. It made for a great repair. Probably not eco or health friendly so the kit may not available any longer. Thanks Mustie for the Sunday videos to go with my coffee!

Flex seal works great for that low pressure sidewall cracking. A buddy of mine made his own whitewalls too with it. sticks great to rubber. and would seal that right up.

[@ronpalmer1371]

Them carb screws usually get ruined when people don’t use the proper JIS screwdriver, I’ve found the best way to get over the problem is to use a pin punch and hammer the cross slot closed then tap the correct screwdriver in the head of the screw to reshape the slot, the driver then fits tight plus the tapping usually loosens the screw.

[@bobcooke6346]

Nice one Darren, I think this video epitomises why we like Mustie, straight forward wrenching and having fun, he is so down to earth, he chats as if we are there with him 👍🙂

[@DFPercush]

Funny that there was a starter relay in the storage box. As a parts guy, I sold so many of those to people who were hearing a clicking or buzzing sound from that part, only to come back 2 days later needing a new battery. If they asked for my help, I'd tell them it's because the voltage was dropping too much when the starter motor engaged, and it was just a weak battery. But if they wanted to be a know it all, I'd be happy to sell them exactly what they asked for. XD Our shop ran a pretty good business cleaning those carbs after everything switched to ethanol fuel, but tbh I don't miss it. Fuel injection ftw. Most common repairs on those ATVs was carb clean, CV axles / boots (axle guards are a good accessory to have), wheel bearings, and CVT pulleys. Tip: If you ever get water in the belt cavity and the transmission starts slipping - STOP! Don't continue to drive it or you'll wear a groove in the pulley, and that's a much bigger job than a simple belt replacement. Those OEM belts really don't break or wear much, since the transmission includes a centrifugal clutch. But the water can wash the grease off the rollers in the clutch and make the pulleys slippery. You have to pull the drain plug, take the cover off, and wash the grease off the pulleys. Might not hurt to carry a can of brake cleaner with you if your route includes any creeks. It does have that snorkel to offer a certain level of water ingress protection, but just remember, it's an all TERRAIN vehicle, not a submarine. I love those '00 -'09 era Kodiaks though, it's a solid machine if you take care of it. I can see this one is in good hands. Also be aware that Yamaha puts their exploded parts diagrams online, if you need to find where that little o-ring that pops out of your carburetor goes. yamaha-motor (dot) com/parts

[@jameswhitman5546]

Hey Mustie, Next time you do an oil change where you will get drenched by removing the drain plug, hook up a shop vac to the oil fill port while removing the drain plug. No oil will spill until you remove the vacuum. You also don't have to go "fishing" for the plug in the drain pan! Love your videos!

[@bradenwuesthoff5639]

thats too much work

[@seanote1906]

I was remembering about setting the glue on fire seconds before you said it. Fond memories of the local garage and mechanics who took the time to help out us kids.

[@martinflanagan2506]

Another great video Mustie. To save moving the winch lower and getting it in the mud,water , etc, weld a pulley or sheave down low and run the cable through it. And then you can run the cable up high for the plow or low if needed to winch the machine out when stuck. Always look forward your video's on Sunday morning.

[@David-yo5ws]

You know, sometimes reading the comments, is like 'Bonus Material' worth it's weight in gold. That would save Darren a lot of time and is a very clever, yet simple adaption. 🥇

[@dolrr54]

I love your videos. They always make me forget about all the crap going on in the world and brings back memories of times when people used to fix things, not just replace them. Thanks again buddy.

[@Ragnar8504]

New stuff got so ridiculously cheap that it takes quite a bit of dedication to actually fix something instead of replacing it, especially having it fixed by someone else who needs to live on what people pay for repairs. Back when you had to spend several months' or even years' salaries on something you were forced to think twice about replacing something.

[@matthewnelson5472]

You can never go wrong with those older Kodiaks!

[@michaelparker5640]

This type of ATV is perfect for farm work ✌️

[@paulgaudin4526]

I had a Polaris Trail Boss that did the same thing. Drove me mad. Was sitting on it one day and looked at the top of the throttle, saw something about safety in reverse. Took the top cover off and sure enough, it was all corroded in there. Cleaned it up and problem solved. A friend of mine had the same problem later on his and it was the same problem, except he had it easy since I had figured it out on mine. Good stuff Mustie! Thanks for your videos!

[@David-yo5ws]

So that may mean that when he steam cleaned the Kodiak outside and also tipped it on it's side, he may have inadvertently 'fixed' the problem, until he reversed it off the truck. Ha ha. Hate that when that happens. Looking forward to part 2 to confirm your experience.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

well unfortunately because I had to work I missed my Sunday morning breakfast with a side of Mustie, still Tuesday evening might have been boring so it was worth the wait, another great never disappointing video from the goat of convincing things to work.

[@collingrawien6621]

When I worked in a tire shop I always used to take a heat gun to the area inside the tire before and after applying the patch. It really seemed, to me at least, aid in getting the best adhesion possible.

[@TuttleScott]

I was all too familiar with this one cause I had to rebuilt the carb in my grizzly last year. problem actually turned out to be the intake manifold seal which I was glad I decided to check while I was in there. edit, just got to the end of the video and its still doing the same thing mine was. you might want to check that intake manifold gasket. mine came from the factory kinked and after so long started leaking.

[@johnanderson5891]

Bought a 2000 Kodiak in December of 1999. Still drives very good. Changed starter sell solenoid twice. Not much else work done to it. Plow snow with it. And hall wood with it. If it doesn’t start. Change spark plug, and it starts. Change oil, once a year. Musty, there is a oil drain bolt that is easer than the one with the screen. Maybe i should check mine with the screen. Been a while. But I’m 270 pounds. And this wheeler moves me around fine. Wheeler’s have gotten so big with high cc numbers. Not to mention the price of side by sides. I like a wheeler that can fit threw the trees. In my type of woods. Always have used good gas. And ethanol free gas now. And have never had to adjust the carb. Always covered with a tarp. And now garaged. If you find one, snatch it up as Scotty Kilmer would say, you won’t be disappointed. Think this will last me the rest of my life. Thanks Musty for what you do. Can’t wait for the next vid man.

I switched my 03 Kodiak over to a cheap lawnmower starter solenoid. Stock aftermarket ones just didn’t last for me. Got tired of replacing them….

[@bruceaugustine6486]

Bob Smith Industries (BSI) has a rubber CA glue that contains rubber, and if you squeeze a small amount into small holes, cracks and so on, then spray the accelerator it will bond instantly and seal the small holes, or you can even glue a wheel nub back on. It works really well, especially for a trail fix. It is a chemical bond reaction between the glue and the connecting rubber pieces and almost vulcanizing the rubber together.

[@mitchrd2004]

Long time watcher but first comment. This is in my wheel house. I buy and fix up atvs to sell all the time. I have fixed 3 of these kodiak atvs, same years. The main cause of people abandoning them are because they replace the factory carb with an amazon special. I cant count how many expensive used factory carbs I have had to track down to get these things running. I even tried putting factory jets into the amazon special carbs with zero luck. So my recommendation to any one rebuilding these carbs is to get one of those sonic cleaners. I always tell anyone buying an atv from me to use ethonal free gas at the end of the season. Not sure if they listen but I have not had a call for a carb I have rebuilt yet.

[@ouch1011]

Those tire patches usually require a primer to be brushed onto the surface of the tire after buffing it and before applying the patch. I think it is specific to tire patches, but it looked and smelled very much like rubber cement. The roller to apply them is also much more narrow with some shallow serrations to really apply pressure to the patch and squish it into the hole/crack.

[@RickSpeer]

If

[@RickSpeer]

I remember right you use that serrated wheel to knead the plastic covering on that patch until the plastic falls off or is all discolored so that you know all the places that you hit. I think that was the primary purpose of the serrations. (I don't know what happened to this message but this is the second time I had to enter it in here)

Hey Darren, was watching you use that crappy plastic welding tool on this four wheeler. I ordered one of those machines from the company that invented the idea, it works great. After I clip all the prongs off, I use a plastic welder I bought from Matcotools and now I skip the welding tool and just use my seller soldering gun and just melt plastic like your using a wire welder. Works great. Let me know if you like the idea. Keep on restoring brother.

[@TheHomePros6221]

I’ve owned TONS of atvs one trick that’s works 99% of the time when this happens is to just put your hand over the air intake were the filter is and rev it, it will create a suction and try to cut off and gas will get on your hand, but it will dislodge anything stuck in the carb thats making it run bad, works the best if you have a little water in the carb if you sunk it or somthing. The issue that you are having does sound like more of a problem with the reverse override however. Kodiaks are pretty good atvs I owned two of them and they were good units

[@robertkeyes2654]

[@laughton57]

Great Video - I had a 2004 Yamaha 450 Kodiak. I gave it to a nephew and bought a new 2018 700 EPS Kodiak. Mustie - do your poor, long suffering, wife a favor and get her a wheeler with PS. I really like the wheeler videos. What's wrong? My guess it's the locker. There's some kind of rev limiter on my Yamaha's (old and new) that won't allow the engine to wind up when the locker is engaged. I think it's to limit torque to the drive axles so things don't break. Either the locker was engaged or the rev limiter didn't disengage when the electric locker was turned off.

[@dougseaman8791]

Automatic transmission fluid works good in the tire too. It has additives that are for keeping seals from drying up.

Those ATV tires commonly get cracks in the sidewalls from flexing so much because they run at such low pressures. Back in the 1970's with three wheelers we would just put tubes in. the bad thing about putting oil or Green Slime in to seal the tire is when you eventually do have to change the tire you have a big mess to cleanup just like those old Fix A Flat for cars leave a mess for the next guy.

[@whitesapphire5865]

Definitely a nice machine!👍 One good reason for keeping the winch where it is, would be to keep it up and out of any water that you might end up fording your way through. I have to admit, I don't like the idea of the winch being high up, but it's better than getting it flooded full of water, rusted and seized. Quite possibly how the cooling fan met its demise, though I'd say if the fan unit is going to be replaced, why not dismantle it, find out how it died, and see if it could be fixed. I reckon you're going to have damned good quad cycle when you've fettled all its little niggles.

I had a Honda rancher 350 that had this exact behavior. Turned out to be water in the gas but I couldn’t figure out how water was getting in it. Drove me crazy for months. Turns out the steering stem was full of water and the fuel cap vent hose was sucking water out of there! I had to drill a drain hole at the base of the steering stem and all that water ran out. Been great ever since. It was a weird issue for sure.

[@David-yo5ws]

Was that a 2am in the morning 'Eureka' moment? Like my friend with an old style car. Always started on the first crank, but not until the battery had run down after a minute. After a few years he finally realised what it was. Who-ever replaced the starter motor, had put one in with too higher crank speed. The speed put the timing out, until the battery ran down and it turned more slowly, which matched the engine timing. Sigh! Other peoples induced faults.

Tip for the future Mustie...these yamaha's have 2 drains on the bottom of the engine. There's one towards the very back of the engine, that's the oil drain. Drain it from there first then pull the oil screen cap off. Won't be so much oil all the sudden that way and less mess. I've had a few yamahas. Currently have a 2007 grizzly 450 and they haven't changed anything but the cylinder size.

looking forward to finding the problem for sure, You should call Taryl and ask him what he thinks is wrong lol, j/k I always tell him to call you when he's having trouble with something. I also told him you always put the old watery gas from a dirty carb in one of his mugs , lol. It's all just fun. Thanks for dragging us along on the adventure trail.

Darren's bead breaker on the tire machine sounds like me first thing in the morning.

Great video, as per usual:). I was watching another youtuber that was using 3m scotch weld 😂pr40 plastic and rubber super glue to fix rubber tires. I used it to repair about 5-10 cracks per tire on 2 Honda fourtrax tires. Glue is amazing; been 3 months and the cracks are still totally sealed and don't leak at all. Cleaned the cracks with acetone first and got the glue into the cracks and held them shut for 60 seconds or so; then taped them shut for 12 h or so.

I love this channel and his resourcefulness 👍🏼 …. But when it comes to tires dry rotted please spend the money for new ones 😂especially if you are gonna take the busted one off… don’t cut to many corners…
