Congratulations a seller that didn’t lie. Your skills came into play on this one. I like the mystery aspect as you did each step of the diagnosis. 😊😊

Don't forget the foam for the filter Joe, nice job.

It's smokin', baby! Good job finding & fixing the weird stuff.

[@jetstreek17]

I was watching video's you put out two years ago Joe, you have come a very long ways since then. Well done on this one, hopefully between it and the POS motorcycle you had on the last one you will break even. Thanks for letting us hang out with you today.

[@mikedavis5326]

Just wanted you to know I really like watching your videos ! Just how you go through everything to figure out what the problems with your machine ! Keep them coming , really enjoy your watching you work !!! 😁

[@peterh2224]

Thanks for sharing the repairs with us. I watch your vids and learn something new each time. Keep them coming!! Fan forever!!!

[@lsdev4229]

Absolutely addicted to your channel. Thanks for the excellent content. Will definitely tackle atv problems with much more confidence thanks to you for sharing your knowledge.

[@jackaofdp]

So cool, I never thought it would run that good afterwards!

[@patbriggsmbr]

Finally one that worked out well for you, really glad. Great video 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

How does timing get off?

[@whiteslick00]

I would love for Joe to work on one of my bikes to bad I'm in Tennessee ...he makes it look easy I guess knowledge is power..keep up the good work Joe

[@BigTuna74]

You are becoming a master mechanic I’m proud of you!!! Love the show keep up the content

[@Chevchild]

Seems as if you might check valve clearance again now cam timing is correct. Great job 😊.

[@user-fi3fx5my2s]

That thing running well should be a beast, my dad has an 03 prairie 650, same bike, it rattles a little but it'll haul assvup to bout 57mph. His had a power issue couple years ago, was a little chunk of metal stuck in intake valve. Was a little sealed plug from carb, was easy fix.

[@dhooter]

The pull start is the main reason I bought the Brute. Almost every other manufacturers abandoned them. And after I shot a deer way way into the mountains of Tennessee went to start it and click click. Thank God I didn't have to stay over night lol

[@ghettsumm7949]

The foam air filter probably caught fire when it backfired, big smoke show! Great video Joe.

[@luuk-out-below9804]

Yep, you can see that cage got hot "fire treated" and was starting to rust.

[@CarpeDiem2]

Love Kawasaki, well designed, engineered and built. This is how you do it. I'm looking at you Polaris !

[@2vintage]

Yeah engine was awesome to work on!

[@patrickrooney5130]

No problem for you Yong lad. Good job and we'll done.

[@debcamp2359]

Great video! Easy fix turns into a full diagnosis.

[@anthonyblacker8471]

Nice detective work.. Super nice you don't have to go through all the work you usually do on one of these.. that thing is awesome, I've always like the 2cyl quads for getting around the farm AND having power when you need it.. Great find!

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Analytics win again! When multiple flaws require multiple repairs it takes some digging! Congrats!

[@douglasfitzsimmons654]

Hi Joe a carb ballance would help as well, we'll sorted sir, another great fix

[@AlAmantea]

Hey Joe, during your test drive in the yard of the Kawasaki, it sounds like there was a driveline whine, especially on deceleration. Best check the bearings or the joints in the driveline. With what has been neglected on that machine, I would bet the trans or the diffs may be low on or out of oil! Great job on this one for sure.

[@97delkron]

when the thing would only go so fast my first thought was crack in a slide diaphram. then watching slide bounce while running i thought tight intake valve. but i certainly did not expect loose rockers! and with such low miles a ring problem. this thing was flush with problems. hopefully the rear cylinder comes around with some run time. good job working issues out!

[@LifewithJames]

Nice securement job 👍 I use the 4 point method also. Takes a little when hauling multiples but I’ve never lost any or had them rolling around the trailer.

[@greathornedowl3644]

Good looking quad, at least it is running. Can not get any worse. Great video, lots of learning moments

[@TenRing69]

Another great job, well done Joe. I know every time you fix any of your project RV's, you have got to be on a "I fixed it" high. Not everyone is blessed with your mechanical skills and aptitude.

Nice job Joe. You did it again.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MBTUE]

Good machine . I bought a Kawasaki Teryx 750 that was running really rough. Turns out one of the breather hoses was plugged with a spiders nest not allowing the vacuum activated slide valve to open fully on one cylinder . Simple fix but took several hours to figure out !

[@finster7582]

Good job Joe ! hey- can u make a video on how u organize all the parts, nuts n bolts when tearing down a complete engine???? very curious of ur methodology !!! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@user-hg7ro7kc2u]

Awesome video man be careful and keep them coming 👍 😉

[@vadimkargin3200]

I have a '06 prairie. Was doing the same thing. Belt light was on. Had to reset it. Worked great after.

[@TexasRedneck]

how'd you reset it? Just disconnect the batter for a few minutes then hook it back up?

[@vadimkargin3200]

@TexasRedneck there are 2 plugs on the right side under the tank. I believe 1white and 1grey. You have to flip the connectors, white to grey a and white to grey. It plugs right in. After that turn the ignition on and wait few seconds. Should be all good after that. Plug the connectors back In the right order. Its been about 2 years since I did it. I might be forgetting the sequence ignition on or off. There is a video about it on KZbin. That is how I found out initially. Good luck.

[@TexasRedneck]

@@vadimkargin3200 thank you! Been thinking of getting one of these for the wife. Just trying to see if I can get a cheap one and it be something simple lol

[@Motoxr32]

Great job as always! Taking off random stickers is what I do. I always like the factory look. Makes them easier to sell as well!

[@MrMattDat]

Very, very good job! You were the right person for the job!

[@TheBigShow902]

i owned a 2010 650i Brute, awesome machine, would pull anyone out that I was riding with that managed to get stuck, loads of power. I had a similar issue before that involved a valve adjustment and worn rings. After a top end rebuild., the issues ended up being a defective reverse limit switch "weird" but the person I sold it to a few years later is still using it to this day and loves it, they are way more dependable than the 750s

[@shermangriffin2722]

awesome, I just picked up an 06 brute force 750. so it was cool to see you get to work on it. give me a couple pointers for when i have to eventually work on mine.

[@chrischallacombe3477]

Another good fix on the cheap! Good job Joe! Cheers!

[@lastcall170]

Your videos are my healthy daily drug of choice.Thanks for the fix..😊 Glad you nailed the issues.

[@johnrogers7435]

Check the valves again on rear cylinder, and do a compression again and let us know the changes. Great vid again.

[@LiloandStitch2018]

Crazy you got it fixed almost for free! Good job! 👏

[@joski9030]

You get it a lot with people that are thick I bought a husky 610 for £300 changed the plug cap and it ran sweet , nice £1700 profit.

[@smokesandalloy9487]

Since the cam timing was off on that cyl, may have to recheck the valve clearance, since the cams were out of phase at TDC. And compression may also be a little better with that fixed? Glad that it's running much better, and great troubleshooting!

[@KenFullman]

I doubt they'll be affected. The valves are checked with the piston at TDC on the compression stroke. Both valves will be completely closed for at least 90 degrees before and after that, so one tooth of offset in the camshaft won't show any difference in the clearance.

[@thebigdustin]

I have a 05 Prairie 700 and a 05 KFX 700. Love them both so much. So glad you finally got one.

[@oqwazyme4616]

And good lod Vin, not to be denied will not let you win the race !!

[@kevinalbers1084]

I've got a 1993 Yamaha Phazer snowmobile that wont go much past 30 mph. Carbs and clutching are spot on. Still haven't figured it out. Nice job on this one Joe.

[@bbroken1]

Might be plugged exhaust or something

[@user-ep2sx6rp4y]

Great job Joe you deserved a bit of luck on this one

[@DDLovett]

Wow. That's the first time I have guessed a diagnosis correctly in ages. Wwll done Joe. That is a cracking machine now. Almost makes up for your recent disastrous purchase from the dishonest seller. Oh. Just a tiny request. Please keep Vinny safe pal. I worry every time he runs next to a 4 wheeler.

[@Sc-jf3yk]

Bought a 700 prairie last year and didnt think much of it until i rode it. It is so much fun. They are way underrated machines

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

love those 4x4. that thing goes! quick fix!

[@RalphJones-oy7te]

If you ever come across a Yamaha Grizzly 700fi with eps for cheap that needs work would love to see you work on one. I have a feeling you wouldn't be disappointed either. Great video as always until next time have a great one.

[@billwilliamson9842]

I had a hunch that rich carb was gassin down that cyl pretty good. I thought it might have stuck a ring and looks like i was right. I bet that it stops smokin totally after a couple tanks of gas and mystery oil. good score dude!

[@user-ni5el5dn8t]

got a 2001 prairie 650 i got for $300 not running a year ago. went through the whole thing. those carbs are a pain to rebuild. only 80 hrs on the engine. everything you could imagine was stuck. don"t know how long it sat. primary clutch was the worst. very little money but a lot of hours later it runs like a raped ape and starts right up. watching your vids reminds me of what i went through. keep up the great content. even this 72 year old man has learned a few things from you.

[@ih302]

2002 was the first year for the 650 v-twin, I bought one brand new.

[@tomlambert3186]

I have a 02 prarie 650, 4300 runs ok, may need carb work, watching your channel is very helpful for us backyard mechanics. I also rebuilt a 94 kawasaki bayou 300 4x4 last year, new clutch pacs, new jug and piston. I had a local ATV shop rebuild the head. Runs great, but smoking at startup then lessons after warm up

[@erick1076]

aside from the smoke, you did a great job man

[@luuk-out-below9804]

Joe you fixed the drippin, tickin and farting on that kawi, good job!

[@DennisHand-um5zv]

Hi Joe, Great video's. I have a 93 Kawasaki Bayou 300. Engine runs great. Well taken care of. Shifting is a different story. I watched many videos on how to adjust the clutch's. That's not it. I can shift into first and sometimes second but than I cant shift back down to first or neutral. If I turn the reverse knob than I can down shift but will go right into reverse. I'm not afraid to open the case but I don't want to do it for nothing. Like I said the engine is strong. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.

[@jeffferguson899]

you should sync the carbs with a manometer to get it running correctly

[@tonycassidy4112]

love Master Mechanic Vinny, he's class

[@jrminate]

These are good overall machines, I love the 750 version. It is ashame that they stopped making them though.

[@user-so2vc9dc2m]

Good videos. I don´tknow much of motors and ad I ride offroad. Very interesting rebuilds, inspects. I have watch over 10 videos. Very interesting. You make this things easy. It´s logical thinking and doing propery. Lasse from Finland HondaCR 250r and Yamaha wr 450! Awesome.

[@markperry2979]

Just love your videos...I think Vinny needs his own channel!!..

[@Timothyarnold123]

Awesome job getting that fixed

[@johnhicks735]

Another thing that can cause that is worn out valve stem guide seals. It can cause carburetor slide floating when you throttle it up to.

[@oldgreybeard2507]

That is an excellent suggestion

[@xjinit]

I'd say that would be the case if he didn't swap carbs and the issue followed the carb.

[@_chipchip]

Especially given the blue smoke.

[@Nighthawk1966]

Great job on this one Joe !!

[@Rugsadventures]

I'm at 50 seconds in BUT I had a honda rancher 4x4 do that and the throttle needed calibrated it was simple to do just had to look up the procedure now im gonna finish your video and may add to my comment 😆

crazy that thing ran in the first place. Great job.

[@mazdarx7887]

Wild first guess, screwed up spring on the vac assist carb Never would have guessed the ballance jet. Better to replace both

[@PutOnYourLid]

Nice one again Bud. good Work!

[@imleetsometimes]

Nice ATV, should be a quick flip! I thought of you and your great troubleshooting methods while watching another video. The guy was troubleshooting a chainsaw that was bogging down. Long story short, he ended up using a adjustable ignition system coil tester to verify the spark he did have was very weak. I'm not sure if you have one (haven't seen you use it) but it's a great way to test your coil strength as you can adjust the gap to pretty much whatever you want. Just because you have spark doesn't mean that it's good spark! It's definitely something I'm going to add to my toolbox.

[@johntilson2535]

About time you got a break, Joe. Those last two were mother _______s! Great job, as usual!😎👍

Great video, Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍

[@edwardweisenburg6585]

Brake fluid works best for releasing stuck rings. ❤

[@stevengiovannetti7861]

Definitely have to do an update once you put carb piece in and let us know if other cylinder comes back

[@sandmanbub]

If you have trouble locating the source of a coolant leak in the future, try wiping it dry and use a black light (UV) to see where the coolant seeps out while it's running. I've never needed the fluorescent dye for this. The antifreeze fluoresces just fine by it's self. I hope I can pass a few little things along before my time on this rock is up. Older mechanics have a treasure-trove of tips time saving information.

[@vindejon7097]

Thought what if you find some real carbs from a motorcycle and see if it will run better? and maybe also a bigger bore set for it? great video again Big Up!

[@pdrumz]

nice one joe keep at em

[@a.c.m.e.ink.4568]

Titaniumman Garage had a Polaris that wouldn't go over 45. His problem was electrical moisture. He put dielectric grease on the plug & coil connectors. Solving the problem. This 4x4 had more issues, unfortunately. But should make someone a decent quad.

[@mikeclark4202]

[@coreywelder4787]

Great job man

[@jamietoro8373]

Good repair.

[@alanp621]

Something to keep in mind is that this engine is almost exactly the same as the teryx you worked on last year. These Kawasakis have issues with the valves wearing out prematurely so there's a good chance the valves are burnt and bad. I dealt with the same issue as you with the smoking and the lack of top end power until I replaced the valves.

[@paulbudford]

You got to this one just in time Joe.👍

[@Tunden]

That was a really nice machine, I am glad that you made such a good bargain! I have just a suggestion though; seeing that many of the machines you buy is in the condition where the sellers have more or less given up on them, wouldn't it be better if you didn't try to start them or run them at all before checking everything that you more or less know you will be doing anyway? I mean, did you come close to destroying this fine engine because of the sellers lack of know-how? That would have sucked..

[@JP-xl7md]

Great job
