Your dog had so much fun chasing you!!! Hahahahaha that was awesome.

[@ras_jokah420]

I surely enjoyed that. You should give the doggy a little around the yard

You've come a long way since you started making videos Joe. People used to put you down and say you did shit janky but I think your a beast. There's nothing that you can't fix

I just started watching your videos. I like how you diagnose. I’ve been a boat mechanic for 35 years and very few guys I worked with can diagnose their way out of a wet paper bag. Hats off to you sir!!

[@jamiesawyer5102]

So funny! As I started this video I said my machine did the same thing and it was the spark plug and I go well. Maybe there's something else with this machine and then it ended up being the spark plug. Awesome video!

[@arvidhilmersson1034]

great video, just a tip when soldering. you should heat the wires not the solder. the heated wires should melt the solder. that way you know you have a good connection.(sorry for possibly bad english)

[@matthewnorris203]

Dude, you provide so much value to me and your viewers. You’re a damn good diagnostician and mechanic man. Great work.

[@user-sd7vw3wv9d]

i love starting my mornings watching these.. specifically your videos i don't watch anyone else lol

[@michaelcraigmurphy]

Hey mate, I'm an old Aussie who has just started to get into bikes. Got a kz200 and some tools ... thanx for your great videos, I've learnt so much in the last few weeks ... And my favourite saying now is "it's not horrible". Tell Vinnie I said hi.

[@Jimsalos]

Great job as always! I am also impressed with the energy your little dog has, very cute

[@AnthonyRBlacker]

5 minutes into this.. I'm thinking right off the bat - to me - it sounds like either a fuel / air issue or a timing issue.. definitely could be something else, but what it's doing is pointing me there. I see why he would have gone CDI, but man being a parts cannon and throwing parts at stuff is really not a great way to fix things. Diagnose, identify and resolve. I'll bet you get it figured out. You really have a wonderful channel here, I'm glad you have taken the time to turn on the camera and share your love with us!

[@petershute3580]

Lexivon make a great butane soldering iron ,when soldering Joe leave the iron on the piece to be soldered and apply the solder to the job,if you don’t it will create a cold joint and become brittle,in other words it will fail eventually not trying to tell you what to do Just sayin Joe, Get the tool for pulling the plugs apart and the contacts to refit your wiring to the original connector without having to rejoin away from the plug,much cleaner job. Good work Joe keep it up 👍

[@rudyshary9922]

old man here.. great content. keep up the good work. i can watch full videos without loosing interest. And it is better than tv programming by a minute.. keep rockin' buddy

[@shartne]

Back when I was a kid in the 70s we use to keep a new plug and a spark plug wrench in the tool box under the seat. Spark plugs can go out at any time. They can get fouled and you can wire wheel them. But a lot of the time they just go dead or almost dead. like the one with yellow spark. Very common reason bikes will not spark. You got that baby fine tuned. 660 woowee! You should race that guy. LOL It pretty quick though.

[@skydiver6711]

You never cease to amaze me. I am not a mechanic, but I have learned so very much from you. Oh, and by the way, Vinnie needs a haircut.

[@kenjohnson5498]

That pup is almost as fast as the bike in that space lol he can rip! The bike turned out sweet as usual.

[@kenjohnson5498]

I think you rejetted him lol

[@vettepicking]

Try getting a tube of rosin flux for your soldering, and a lead base solder. That cheap rosin core solder doesn't flow good. You will see a difference in your repairs.

[@Jboost412]

Absolutely it’s all about using the correct material in order to have a solid result…not speaking of this specific incident just in general I see some people in my shop for example that stop me & ask why it won’t flow like I show them it should or basically that it’s just balling up instead of being absorbed into the connection to end up with a solid long term result….did you try some flux ❓ uhhhh no 🤨

[@kub2132]

He’s also not soldering correctly. You put the iron on the wire and connect the the wire and iron with solder and the wire will “suck” the solder in.

[@mattmccleary1278]

Vinnie the Wonder dog! He's So darn cute. Looks just like a stuffed animal. Love your videos as well Sir

[@92xl]

Goddang-it Joe, when you lived in town I thought your neighbor had a lawn mowing obsession but now you are out in the country and I still hear a mower running I am beginning to think it is Jade who has the lawn OCD!!!!

[@2vintage]

Hahaha

[@dietznutz1]

Hey Joe as a thought could you get a spark plug tested that is clear and hook the other end up the the plug while it's running and as you rev the engine you can visually observe the spark as you climb up the rpm

[@heavysnow8616]

Always use Rosin core flux on electrical wiring! Plumbers flux is acid core and will corrode the wiring. Tin/lead solder is what to use. 67% tin, 33% lead. Again, no plumbing solder!

[@trose7620]

You wouldn't believe how many bikes I've had come in that was just a valve adjustment to fix, especially ones owners have mis adjusted. And ones owners have put new top ends on themselves. Always run factory recommended plugs. In my experience the iridium plugs just don't cut it. Great vid.

[@lokey1006]

You could have an air lock in the oil lines, any time I change my oil and filter, at the same time and try to ride right away, the oil tank always over fills, I have to crack the lines to the top of the head and back of crank case. If they sit same thing can happen.

[@Jboost412]

Turned this into a very solid KZbin channel brother congratulations on all of the success you’ve had on KZbin & hopefully my channel gets somewhere even close to the subscriber count you have to date!! Keep doing what your doing & anyone who leaves a hateful comment well I’m sure you know it’s just the way people are love the videos keep look forward to future content!!

[@markmartin01]

For what it's worth, that solder did not penetrate, you just stuck it to the outside of the wires. Need to heat the wires with the iron so that when you touch the solder to the wire it melts.

[@mikespain8655]

Place soldering gun tip under wire, then let the solder flow down into the wire. Just like welding, it takes practice. Anything beats wire nuts and butt connectors.

[@super6954]

I'm thinking it would of been a nice touch to put heat shrink tubing over the wires then soldered them in a straight line shrinking the tube over the repair after. It looks like he didn't even tape them in the video unless he did it after, the wire nuts at least insulated the first farmer fix repair if he didn't do it later.

[@joey-gb5md]

Yeah he don't comprehend that he's been told over and over.

[@alexcrafter_]

You doing the valves reminds me of when i did my ktm's a few months ago, my ktm had its first valve adjustment in 19 years it did. Runs better now. Intake valves were way too tight no slack at all and it was loosing alot of compression.

[@shawnsatterlee6035]

Also a sensor and a switch are totally two different things! A sensor changes ohms where a switch is on or off...

[@joshawafoster1477]

Good job. Fixing these can be a pain. I bought 1 used and went through same stuff. CDI, carb rebuild and jet, and valve adjustment and she came to life

[@rukamukus]

Intake carb boots are a few millimeters too short on O.E.M boots, and they keep popping off. But you can buy aftermarket boots from UPP that fit much better and won’t pop off. And the grinding, (some say whining) when you go to start it is the starter clutch. Raptor 660’s are well known for this. Best to put a one way starter clutch.

[@Daviesprojects]

I love your house and yard

[@Bolandcustoms]

When you solder you need to hold the soldering irons tip against the wires until it is hot enough for you to feed the solder in and wick into the wires. The way iv watched you do it in multiple videos you're just creating a poor cold solder joint that will most likely fail. Other than that, good stuff as usual.

[@TheUniversalEyes]

Yep, always heat your work first, then apply solder, not the other way around.

[@robertkoetzle5253]

I have been watching you videos for some time now an you have a very big help an you have taught me so much so thank you so much and I appreciate the videos so much what you take an turn it into is awesome

[@JohnnieBravo1]

Yeah, having a Warrior, first time you fired that thing up I thought to myself that sounds a lot like that parking brake circuit messing up. I've fought that battle before too. All those other issues likely just made it worse. Awesome job again. I really look forward to these videos. When are you going to start doing Miata's ?? (evil grin.... I just got a basket case NB in my garage to try and reassemble with my son, and these "how to" videos are an enormous help)

[@mcorley187]

I put a rock in my sensor to hold the button down. The person I bought it from didn’t know how to fix it or what it was. Turned out that the switch was activating when it shouldn’t have.

when i saw that plug it looked wayyyyy too fried. picky motors that need high dollar plugs ! good thing you fixed the other issues tho, I think it was a combo, bad plug, probably bad fuel, valves way off, and wrong jets. great video and diag !!

Not sure if you had done it or not but alway remember to clean the screen in the oil tank when Changing the oil, it's on the oil line that runs to the engine

[@thomasabbott2906]

And obviously the oil filter on the right side of the engine

[@keithcrampton1438]

WHEN DO WE GET TO GO FOR A RIDE IN THE BOAT WITH YOU JOE? WE ARE NAKED!

[@IanScottJohnston]

When soldering don't spoon feed the solder to the wires.....You want to apply the soldering iron AND the solder together at the same time. You'll get far better results.

[@johnhicks735]

Check the stator.& Pick up coil to tom. It's must likely halfway fired out to. Yes that one way bearing could be sherd off witch means the timing is off A course to. Along with hooking up the electrical wiring to something different l.,or to eliminate something to will affect the wiring harness.& Charging system on them to. Check out the voltage regulator/ rectifier box.

[@SeanSR]

Pro tip... When you solder you dont heat it on the tip of solder gun and paint it on you suppose to put the heat on the opposite side and put the solder on the cold side and let it run to the heat.

[@AZVIDS]

Nice one Joe, your place looks nice too👍

Clean that oil screen in the bottom of the oil tank. It could have a hard time circulating back to the engine, causing it to pool in the reservoir and starve the motor. Aside from that, another great video bro.

[@Markomyt1]

Right off the bat i am going to say weak spark. I had a similar deal on an old two stroke with points. Points got dirty and killed the spark... couldn't rev over 1,000RPM and as soon as you out a load on it, it would bogs down. Now, going to watch the video. Edit- Pretty close!

Joe, I love your videos, but I hate your soldering. Use flux, heat one side with the iron, and feed the solder from the other. The solder will flow toward the heat.

[@prf54]

The average person that will watch one may not get excited about it as I get. I can do the work and have done it a lot. A dealer ship sold me a 500 tripple two stroke all locked up. I brought it home and for a week or two worked on getting the piston stuck loosened. I clean out the tank and the carbs and decided after doing all this work on it was going to take it for a ride. I rode thru Chichago during rush hour and then up to Canada. I sprayed chaine oil on the points and fouwled them out. Got stuck in Canada. Had to get the truck and go back and get it. Now i am looking over four wheels right now on marketplace. Tried to get the guy to bring me have to stay in at home here, a four wheeler and a cub tractor too. Some one else go the four wheeler. Am working on getting another one that I jewed him down on. It shut off and wont go so I know that it will be some work to be done on it. I just don't have the thing we hit with the hammer to loose the phillips screws and the fly wheel pullers. I am almost 70 years old now. Yet I have wrenched on a few of these too. I have worked on the mopeds too. Just changing the front or rear tires is fun, and in addition just do the breaks when doing the tires too. The drive belts need to be checked often too. I would love to have some land just like one has too. Paul in Ohio

[@alloutriding9423]

Should tighten valves with open end wrench while you hold screw with screw driver.
