$500 UTV Is The Worst I Have Seen. Will It Run Again?

[@mikec2825]

Thank you for good, quality videos. No cussing, very informative. I really appreciate you and your videos.

[@Jimsalos]

It's hard to find any videos without cussing these days, I appreciate Joe keeping it clean

[@robertswanson2099]

Gy6 China engine's are usually some of the best. Most of the time any thing that goes wrong are carburetor, valve adjustment, c.d.i. or stator. Those are usually great machines when properly maintained. Thank you for another great video. 💯😊

[@kernelbadness]

Lol that airbox. WE didnt forget. Let this be a lesson AGAIN. Follow your checklist prior to turning or running engine! Lucky.

[@Ben-bg1fs]

Definitely not a performance unit but it looks like it could be a good rig for around the yard. No need for a trailer and it won't tear up the turf! Good work Joe!

[@audidreamscometrue]

looks like it would be perfect on the golf course too

[@M.TTT.]

the brakes may likely be hung up some, which wouldn't help lol

[@Fantabulousgames]

Make sure your new tank hose is angle cut on the end so it doesn't suck shut on the bottom of the tank

Love a good gy6 breakdown. Done this enough times on a kart I used to have it's muscle memory. Amazon has great cheap parts for every aspect of the engine & trans. The fact you had spark was amazing!

[@bbrut3332]

Home depot and Lowes have a package of pressure washer tips for about $12---15.00. it will cut your time by 50% . Get the $45 rotating tip and it will cut the time by 75% .

[@M.TTT.]

amazon has the rotating tips aka "turbo" tip also. Have to make sure you have the right one for your GPM rating and also have to start them facing at the ground.

[@MrHLVW]

You need to get a rotary nossal for cleaning the tuff stuff

[@ken3700]

I rebuilt around 30 riding mowers… I promise I’m not giving you bad advice on the pressure washer .. and shaker can paint is super cheap … gloss black makes even the worst frames and so on look new seriously.. your resale value or ability to launch stuff for more money will be way easier.. not to mention it belongs to you until it doesn’t so to me it’s nice to nice things .. don’t you think..

[@banedye7036]

I'm gonna be honest with you, I spent so many years trying to clean carburetors and fighting with old pumps etc. But now I just spend 30 bucks on Amazon and get a new carburetor which 95% of the time comes with a matching pump. People can talk all the shit they want but I've not had 1 issue with a Amazon carburetor I even have one on my 04 Harley and it runs perfectly.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Son your pressure washer is horrible! I love the channel but you have got to trade up to a heated water pressure washer.

I always get rid of old gas filters, because if they get crud in them it can shift around and shut off the gas flow at unpredictable times.

[@Uncle_Anthoni]

I don't know if you have one or not, but I would highly recommend an ultrasonic cleaner. If not for the carbs alone.

[@jameshedrick605]

I was always spraying carbs out with carb spray before i got mine

[@jeffreyalbright7692]

We bought a Chinese 500cc 4wd UTV brand new & it was always hard to start, especially when the engine was cold?! It also had a diaphragm type fuel pump, in which i eliminated . I finally added an electric fuel pump with an adjustable fuel pressure regulator for an older VW bug/sand rail & it runs better than ever!! Just an idea for u… keep the videos coming!!

[@jeffreyarnold5278]

When you work on a side by side that is a generic brand it would be nice to know what engine it is and the cc’s of it like 250, 500, 750. Thanks for the videos, very informative.

[@randyfin8751]

Change the fuel filter! Has crap in it. Going to stress the pump

[@davesplace1307]

Joe you are my favorite youtuber of all time. You post more than most people. A ridiculous amount it's like every other day you got a new video. You don't go by the "KZbin algorithm" as they call it. Everyone knows what I'm talking about there. Thanks Joe for sticking with the people and being THE BEST KZbinR your viewers could ask for

Sweet you got it up and running like usual. So when you going to finish with the Honda Odyssey fl 350 I want to see that thing going when you weld up the cage and what ever else you are going to do to it

Man I hate to say it but im waiting for the day your screwdriver finds its way into your hand when youre taking bowl screws out. I hope im wrong haha. Try a 1/4 ratchet w a 1/4 socket and put your phillips tip into it for more leverage. Less likely to strip the heads that way. Great vid!

[@trose7620]

Gas left in that tank looks a lot like yellow paint, add some fresh gas and rinse.

[@derekwilkinson7939]

Did you check the air filter and oil before turning the engine over?

[@jerrywilcox9890]

It's sealed so doesn't matter and it's not going to hurt it just rolling it over if there is no oil.

[@gregrose8774]

Looks as tho that fuel filter may have been clogged as well. Great video!

[@buckkirby6207]

great stuff, you need a remote fuel tank, looks like IV bottle with shut off valve and filter. will work on all your projects. keep fixing stuff, when we gonna see an old school jet ski?

Love the content Joe, ace!Also the amount u posting brother, its brilliant!👍🙏👊🦾🦾🦾

[@gordonwilloughby8793]

The valves in the pump may not be working. Usually they use a diaphragm for valves but maybe the valves are in the intake and output. Could check by blowing in and sucking on the intake and exit for the pump. should only allow air to go in one direction.

[@chuckchaffey2862]

Sometimes I wonder how you think, all air cleaner systems are sealed, how else would they clean the air, love your channel.

If it's a first Gen Mule, get er running, send it down the road. Not very good machines IMO. But if it's in decent shape it'll be alright a while, just real cramped in cockpit. Enjoy! Great vid as usual, were watching you this morning.

[@samdavis9763]

The one thing is you seem to be not checking the oil before starting it. Unless I missed it.

So I'm saying this as someone who hasn't actually watched the video yet. But I'm interested to see how bad it is. I still remember the Yamaha mule series. That was pretty bad.

Just take the manifold loose from the head will be much easier and really easier to replace!

Hey. Really like your videos. For a better way to wash a bike like that you should get yourself some auto valet premium purple power. You just spray it on and spray it off. It comes off right away.

[@danandyong6653]

Your little sister teach you mechanics? Clean the exterior of a carb before tearing it apart! Then spray carb cleaner, and penetrating spray inside to start the parts loosening up, i.e. the needle! Also the spray will start loosening the varnish inside jets, threads, and passages😅

[@jimmymartin1902]

I would consider that a golf cart.

[@leonardraymondjr]

In rural Alaska we wait up to a month for parts!

[@norcal8718]

Of course it's got good compression when you crank it over for a week 🤦🏻‍♂️ For an ACCURATE compression reading you should crank it over three to five times and that's it. You seem to like to crank the shit out of your machines until you get the compression reading you want and that's not how to do it. I'm not trying to bust your balls I'm just trying to help you learn, and learning is always a good thing. I dig your videos thank you for sharing 👍🏻

[@danelldecker3696]

Just wonderin what tool kit you have. I need a set of deep sockets that i can use on impact. I know silver/chrome sockets are not impact rated but i seen u use urs plenty of times. The cheap sets ive had since was a teenager cant handle ive broken a few sockets with my 1/2 inch aoben impact wrench. I now have a dewalt 1/4 inch hex shank driver as well but would like get a decent set sockets and not spend hundreds of dollars getting all impact rated stuff.
