[@silverbullet3968]

One thing I'll mention. Compression testers have a check valve. Otherwise every time the valves opened on a 4 stroke or the piston dropped below the exhaust port on a 2, the gauge would loose pressure, the needle would keep bouncing, and you'd never get a good reading. So the needle not going back down when you stop means nothing. Need a leakdown for that. But great video, I'm binging a bunch of yours. Awesome stuff!

My gut tells me he had it running a couple months ago, thats what did the damage. It sat for a while and the mice got in it. then when he started it back up a couple moths ago all those popcorn kernels got sucked into the intake and caused the damage. Everything the kid says follows the story of the engine.

[@mikeolson7188]

Joe you really need to pull that engine out and split it,run everything through the parts washer and Build her back up with new gaskets and I would probly replace the countershaft seal and the shift shift seal aswell.That nasty oil and particulated matter from the worn piston an cylinder have ran thru the bottom end and I would take a peak at the oil pumps aswell.Do it right the first time so u don't sell it to someone and then they have trouble and you end up having to do the job twice.

There wasn't anything broken on the engine - like ring, piston or bearing. Just the cylinder wall was cracked and there are not much metal shavings from a scratched cylinder wall either. So just two frequent oil changes will do the job, not needed to put the engine a part just because oil and coolant mixed together.

Most major sport quads require the removal of some plastics and the gas tank to adequately access the spark plug hole. I cannot think of too many sellers who would be ok with a potential buyer disassembling that to run a compression test, lol. Understand if that makes you want to walk away, but it's definitely not the norm when purchasing a quad.

They look puzzled when the asking price goes up 20 bucks.

[@3xLau]

As long as there are fruit grains under the valves, there will be no compression, and when the entire cylinder passage is filled with grain, the cylinder wall must split. The head gasket did not fit the cooling channels. Thanks for the good broadcasts.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

My guess is he wasn't lying. He did have it running. What he didn't know was a squirrel had put nuts in the intake. How it got past the air filter I don't know. Possibly he had the air filter off to clean the nuts out of the air box. He never noticed the nuts ready to be sucked in. When the piston came up it had high compression which meant no squish area for the displacement so the weakest component failed being the thin cylinder wall instead of bending the rod or cracking the head.

All in all it wasn't a bad buy and your going to have to put less into it than you had thought you might.

[@TheSpiritualGangstuh]

I've built countless 4-stroke race quads for Baja, MX & XC. I've never used 'big bores' for them. Always stock bore, usually stroked, always ported. Ported, oversized valves, stroked, high compression pistons gives sooooo much more power where you need it AND more reliability. Cylinder walls are a main reason. Big bore cylinders are junk. Granted there are exceptions, like LED big bores for trx250Rs and such. Btw. What is all that crap in the intake and on the piston? You probably want to COMPLETELY rebuild that carburetor as well😬

[@peytonjulander724]

@@sixgun2719 lets see he told seller it going cost him over $1000 to fix this quad so seller drop take $1000 off from asking price. and in real life it will cost him $400 to fix that quad .. when he fix quad he can sale this quad for $3500 to $4000. this isn't only seller i see him scam a seller before . so he can easy make $2000 from this quad in my eyes he scam that dude big time . and you know what scam means right ?..when someone lose a lot of money from a person ..did Joe lose any money on this deal? no he didn't he never got scam so Joe lied about that to saying he got scammed when he didn't

I remember the Suzuki 50. It was a 2 stroke Trail Hopper, if that's the one his dad sold to you.

[@tylerwebb4927]

A way to weed out the scammers on non running vehicles is ask if you can bring a bore camera. If they are lying they will either say no, tell the truth, or ghost you. Saves you time and headache. If they have no clue about the issue, then if it is messed up severely thats leverage for a cheaper price.

It's A blowout head gasket.& Possibly bad water pump back flowing coolant inside of the engine crankcase block port holes.

[@benschlack5814]

I don't believe you tried starting it without at least cleaning the carb

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

He always tries to start everything, before he even checks things 😂

[@johnhicks735]

Joe check the fly wheel moon key on the crankshaft it could be sheard of inside to. Causing it not to start up.& Run again along with having no compression to.,or A bad camshaft one on the top end witch throws the valves off to due that reason alone. Cause they can drop.,or loosen up from having A worn out camshaft inside of the top end to.

[@markaffordablecustomsparento]

Now you have 2 of these completly tore down lol

[@2vintage]

Yeah the other one has the parts ordered! Should be here this week!

[@markaffordablecustomsparento]

Excellent I'm ready for that video!

[@petershute3580]

Same ol same ol Joe never trust anyone,always go with your gut,don’t say anything about what it has,don’t believe what they say,just go with what you think it’s worth,no harm in being honest,they will either take it or not,you’re running a business and it’s all about profit and loss,you’re in it to make money 💰 bottom line. You just have to be tough,and assume they flogged it,which is the case most of the time, Look after yourself Joe ,you have almost half a million subscribers now which is a tumultuous effort Joe,congratulations,get yourself other vendors like tool companies parts companies and machine shops to come in and invest in your builds you have a huge subscriber base and that gets they’re name out there too. Fantastic Joe you’re only young make the best of your situation and the opportunity to improve it,talk to the major companies,brands get them interested in your product and what you do get them excited and get they’re products on your channel ,and become really successful. I’ve seen other KZbinrs with no where near the subscriber base working with Rocky Mountain ATV,HMF,ECT,Take the chance Joe,what’s the worst they can say-no??. But eventually you will come across vendors that will happily work with you just for the exposure ☮️👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@itsjustme9318]

There are so many dishonest scammers out there now it sickening. People have truly lost their moral compass!!!

[@bbroken1]

You still got a good deal. I wouldn't complain.

[@DBRACING73]

I want a yfz !!! Good luck

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

You need to get a small 3 volt sure fire flashlight, love em here. Save my but a lot. The valves are way to tight, I'm betting.

[@1unco]

What's up with honda trx 700?

[@2vintage]

Still waiting on parts. Parts were returned to seller because there was a problem with shipping. I should be getting the parts this week!

[@geek4tv65]

you can remove the compression tester Schrader valve and apply air from the air compressor to test valve seal in the combustion chamber

[@mikederedita7957]

1500 and you got scammed? I did click to see why tho so it worked. What do you call that again? Click something?

I was actually wondering about the tailgate because I never saw aftermarket lift straps.

[@rimfire2642]

Seems to me most likely what happened was. He parked it, maybe even for a short while. A mouse put those pebbles in there. He came out and started it, heard some strange noises, that went away after a few seconds. Meanwhile, what he didn't realize or stop to think better check things out. No, just run it. So it ground all that crap up as we see it clearly having run quite a while. No more noise, no more problem. So he kept it running probably road it for a while and it started to degrade performance...eventually to the point of it no longer running and starting. At that point, he looked into it, found the pebbles, observed the foamy oil and coolant loss. At that point he realized it was pretty ****ed.

When you were checking the head gasket, should the water jacket or whatever the passage is around the 7 o'clock position be blocked/covered up? It's obviously not cut even though the rest of it looked fine. It's around 47 minute mark when you were looking at it.

love when people don't know anything about their bike that they have "over 6 grand into"

[@trose7620]

Just got one for mine for 129 with all parts and gskets. That 450 hasnt ran in long time. Have one we held on to in the shop someone tig welded the crack and sleeved the bore. Cant believe it was working but it was running when it came in,we replaced top end and it was perfect. Just funny to see that crap. Not often but once in a while get a doozy in.

[@Kurtman88]

The guy selling the quad doesn’t seem like a bad guy. Pretty low of you to throw him under the bus saying he scammed you just for the views. Be better dude, or you’ll be looking for a second job before you know it.

Was all the grit from stop leak they put in the radiator possibly? Great breakdown.

[@GusMahn]

You should change the title. This isn’t a scam at all! I’m 5 minutes in and the kid said it needs rebuild 3 or 4 times. Looks like you’d make money parting it if you had to, though I know that’s not your thing. Anyway no need to clickbait us. We’re into your projects not your titles.

[@johnhicks735]

That can do it to. It might just be low.,or have A bad water pump if it has A radiator on it.

[@solo1racing]

Why do you put such titles on your videos? .. how did you get scammed? For $1500 the title should read $1500 deal.. Are you a click baiter? Love the videos.. not your titles..
