No smoke... fired up good signs

[@brqndondove9559]

How much will you sell it for lol

[@TwoGunToast]

My guess why they painted them, because actual purple plastics are impossible to find. Its like the only color that isnt sold normally along with all the other colors.

Please leave the hitch on it just because

How did you get the exhaust header so clean?? I’m trying to get my 400’s to look better

[@978twostrokegarage2]

It’s almost that time for a small shop Joe... 👍🏻

[@jakemiranda2469]

Agreed

[@imhawkin1687]

Agree ❗️

[@zachthericer3379]

We should do a fund raiser or something so he can get started on a small shop

[@978twostrokegarage2]

@@zachthericer3379 I think it’s easy just post share and get the followers to subscriber and let that KZbin money build all this with there money and out support.. kinda like a sponsor 😉

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Funny, we are talking about how similar you are to us with the valve adjustment issues. About 90% of the 4 strokes that come in have valve clearance issues. You do a great job, informal training OJT is a good thing for all of us, you included. Another great video. Keep killing it, Joe. Great job!

[@jamiebouchard9862]

I see a lot of guys who hook up a full aftermarket exhaust but don’t re jet for it. May be worth pulling the bowl to see if it’s got stock jets.

[@2vintage]

Good thinking!

[@OGKILLa9365]

Or maybe it could just be that he doesnt have the air filter in there making it run lean because it's getting too much air

[@305pyroheads]

quick tip for anyone getting paint off plastics. after using the paint remover, you can use a pressure washer to spray off the paint instead of using a scrape!! 👍👍❤❤

If you set up a big tarp outside as a backsplash then power wash the bubbling paint off plastics it might take 20 min instead of hours with scraper... nice commitment to the project tho ...aint nothing you cant fix these days

[@delta2904]

i have one good lifehack for u :), always put silicone spray on the plastics when ur done cleaning them, it will make them look new and shine like crazy

[@brad4010]

This channel never ceases to surprise me.

[@alanparis7256]

Never assume the shim sizes from a selection box are marked up correctly. Allways measure the shims before fitting. And check shim clearance with cams fully torqued down. Love your videos and keep up the hard work....

[@aarongrabowski5620]

You beat me too it. I was going to suggest that too. I know it happens because it happened to me!!!

[@andycunningham9812]

I was going to say this too. The clearances should only be checked when the cams are fully torqued down.

[@timb7775]

All that dirt and filth drives me nuts, it's all apart might as well clean it to new condition as much as possible. Cheap eBay steam cleaner works wonders.

[@raidendykes3542]

I cringe at the thought of a chunk of dirt falling into the motor 😬

[@NoahMazraani]

I'm pretty sure at 3:30 you can see dirt in the engine

[@jimmadonna1436]

I would have cleaned the cables. When he moved them, dirt was falling into the engine.

[@mmaaddict78]

At least zip tie the cables out of the way! Was driving me crazy lol

[@redhackershittycoder]

Steam cleaner on grease?

[@bigcaputo09]

Man you've came a long way with the repairs on these bikes!!! You're getting good!!

[@tinybubbles3724]

I thought this would be ok at best. You will double your money on this one including labor. This is the best one you have shown in quite a while.

[@steveh7027]

I think you got a good buy... After reshimming I always re-time and then rotate the engine a few times just to get everything seating before re-measure. Also torque the cam tower before measuring, it will change the adjustment just slightly. Otherwise great vid man, just wanted to pass some advice on for your future jobs.

[@dethamselv5482]

Some things you can go check on it. It’s got a aftermarket exhaust so you gotta re-jet it check the jets if they are stock. But an air filter on maybe it’s getting too much air. And the crackling noise you heard from the exhaust is just the metal cooling of because it’s hot. But nice quad always loved it.

[@mmaaddict78]

That looks so much better. Good job rescuing this one.

[@brodyooo6890]

And that cover sand it down to aluminum and shine it up and won’t have to worry about paint rubbing off

[@TheHonda300ryder]

I would turn idle up a bit. If it seems to be hanging up after you rev it (idles stay high for a little before dropping) your pilot circuit is too lean, richen it up by adjusting pilot screw. It did seem lean as I seen the header starting to get red when you were first Reving it. Hope this helps!

[@billdurkin8860]

I can never find these deals, it blows me away that you find these machines so cheap..

Hey Joe if you let the paint stripper sit like that wrapping in in Saran Wrap after laying it on heavy puts in work! Also if you can put them in a warm area but know it stinks. Good work bro

[@TheJesusno2]

That bikes running LEAN! At about the 19 minute mark the head pipe is just starting to glow red looks like

[@davehouston1410]

Love the sound of that pipe and also no smoke . You can run a 130 jet on those quads . I think it comes stock 118 .

[@ni_wink84]

Cleanliness helps ten fold when working on things, take your stuff out and pressure wash it or garden hose and brush it before you tear it apart, I’m pretty sure any little dust and grime is way larger than the .0020-.0025 bearing clearances in those motors considering a hair is .06... just my two cents tho, still like the vids and content

[@brodyooo6890]

Turned out really nice love doing before and after pics myself love just getting paint off plastics and seeing the difference

[@2vintage]

Yeah it's pretty satisfying!

100% normal on a 450 sitting in one spot the pipe will glow

[@kameronspencer1719]

Take some polish and a buffer and buff those plastics out and it will look brand new and also try out some maxima sc1, I spray it on my whole quad it makes it look brand new

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

Man you got it ! Maybe repack silencer for maximum flow

[@yamaha04rider]

Powder coat the cover! Or cera cost. Or whatever lundmx or cameron niemela would do. As you saw with the fenders paint usually isn’t the way to go

[@joe212]

If you give the coolant temp wire a ground the fan should come on with motor running For a fast check. Then you can ome out the temp sensor to check it to see if its good or bad.

Adjust the idle once it’s off choke it’ll idle high when the choke is on! All Honda’s do it!

[@Tonerony]

If this engine uses the same valves as the CRF, you will probably need to replace the inlet valves. The oem titanium valves are sensitive for wear. If the clearance is very tight, the valves are probably worn out.

[@bibo5017]

It lokks like he hydro dipped the plastic, the previous owner. LOL

[@willcross992]

In one of the clips the pipe looks a little red,might need to check jets or accelerator pump if it has one,might be too lean. Also find out what the rattle is,it makes it sound bad

[@nicktuttle2416]

The rattle is the ball/hitch that is on the back bumper/ subframe

Yeah it was definitely lean, pipe was starting to glow

Next time try klean strip quick strip I like it better than the citri strip. I think it works faster and less messy. It comes in an aerosol can usually around $10 a can. Let me know what u think!

[@11GalleryATV]

Awesome! It started! I think you may need to lube up that throttle cable ...

Being a mechanic you should think about wearing a silicone ring so it doesn't short out on anything. I don't wear mine while working anymore since my buddy lost his finger because of it!!

[@hungry4knowledge208]

Dont push the throttle far at all when starting barley push on it and it will fire up easier

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

Another entertaining video. And good luck on your sales on the tecate and the cr250 👍💯. I noticed them posted up for sale and figured it must be your quad and dirt bike, since those tecate are rare and rarely seen.

Be sure to check the accelerator pump Diaphragm in the carb sounds like it has a bit of a bog when you throttle up it may need replaced or set or both
