I LITTERALLY JUST GOT A 1996 QUAD RUNNER 250 4X4 RUNS OFF STARTING FLUID PAIS 360!!!!

[@Ja-fh8io]

And you still got a better deal then me🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@That__mxc550]

If you need another transmission or any parts I have the exact same model as a parts quad rn

[@That__mxc550]

If you need an air box I got one

[@That__mxc550]

If you need any parts for it like the key fob and whole dashboard just lmk

[@zacharytkrake2000]

My grandpa had one of these and I am going to fix it up. It’s sitting outside but ran when parked. My dad used to haul out huge loads of firewood out of the woods when I was a kid. This machine is a monster with differential lock and super low

[@uzikilla69]

I've literally tugged whole trees home

[@ColtonRutledge]

One small step for Joe, one huge leap for Suzuki lovers!

[@greatwhitenorthlife2327]

In Canada you could get 2500 - 3k all day for that quad. ($1950-$2300 USD.)

[@jonnyonwheels]

That is definitely some kind of fancy heel/toe shifter it’s got there!!

[@windowcreek1798]

Run some Seafoam via the gas tank. Its magic juice for all engines. Put a few cap fulls of Lucas engine stabiliser in the oil crank case too. It works miracles.

[@jaredmcquiniff5362]

You should do the cheapest enduro for sale and do a complete budget build on it! I’m hooked on your videos! I’m going back and watching all the builds I missed!

[@TheHomePros6221]

Damn u got a steal! I use to have that same quad it’s a beast with the high low and super low diff lock!!

[@cranedaddy678]

Dude those Suzuki's were the best machines ever.

[@2vintage]

Yeah they are built pretty well!

[@benmiller5015]

Too much seafoam in the gas will smoke like that. I wouldn't be surprised if he dumped a bunch in thinking it'd fix it after his grandkids broke it

[@bincockwell2610]

Tried to fix it with mechanic in a can.

[@javieravila8046]

This Suzuki’s and the 300s there some of the strongest quads out there you should do a 300 build

[@madhampster]

I laughed when he said it was a little smokey.

[@BrandonLund]

Same!

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

You need a better battery charger. That little 1 amp trickle charger you have won't bring a dead battery back to life.

[@briantripod3826]

OMG The smoke is so funny I can't stop laughing. Run it till the wheels fall off

[@shanepickvet2901]

Excellent Mechanic , photographic memory 💪💯

[@andrewholtzhauer1864]

Those quadrunners are bullet proof! Onw thing to keep in mind is that the rear storage box lids love to fall off in middle of the bush.

[@2vintage]

Yeah i hear they are very reliable!

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

We should call it Vector, I don't think there's a mosquito left alive in your general vicinity. Good job Joe !

[@lt-z-quadnation6644]

🤣👍🏻

[@larrywarner9314]

Now keep in mind sometimes critters can get in those exhaust pipes and make nest also

[@GarbageDanks]

That things idle adjustment is way high lol

[@xRamRacing]

My dad bought the same year and same color model one back brand new in 2000. Those ATVs have an auto clutch which is probably stuck or the linkage might just be shot, I've replaced both on my dad's. Also to put it in 4x4 you usually have to put it in neutral then kick it up into 1st gear and it'll go into 4x4.

[@dizzlerizzle2775]

the 4x4 ones of these are awesome, they have difflock, high, low, super low

[@2vintage]

Yeah they are pretty cool with al the different settings

[@founddeadrepairz6433]

I got one of those four-wheelers. At least you got one with good Plastics because the Plastics alone cost like $600

[@2vintage]

Yeah i was happy that the plastics were actually good on this one.

[@freezerburn04]

This had success story written all over it right of the bat! Nice work👍

[@Ateyoshmoes]

I wonder what your neighbors are thinking when they see a huge puff of smoke coming from your yard...🤣 Cool quad though, I'm excited to see the tecate race👍

[@2vintage]

Haha I wonder the same thing! It was pretty bad lol

[@0neswipe919]

Congratulations on 200k

[@2vintage]

Thank you!

[@toddadamson7272]

Awesome find!! Can’t wait to see the Yamaha 450r in action.

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Those old quad runners are hard to kill.

[@eidolusgad3818]

Oh the memories! Our family had a '94 in blue.

[@troyrosenbaugh9935]

Those are pretty great little quads. Had a 97 model, pretty much go anywhere. Easy to fix.

[@TimArmbruster]

Wow that's one of your best financially

[@rileytaylor9436]

Hey man I own a 2wd and a 4x4 quadrunner both 93s, the motor is very reliable. But alot of times the electrical problems are the fuses right next to the battery. Very easy fix

[@riccochet704]

I always wondered what the hell people are thinking when they cut a bunch of wires. Ohhh, it's not running anymore. Let me just cut all these wires. Yup, that should fix it!

[@chuckfinley3152]

That gas had 6 cans of sea foam in it lol

[@DrewMade222]

exactly what I was thinkin' lol

[@gambit1001]

at 9:13 when you put the battery back down a nice colony of ANTS decided to come out to play :D At 10:16 you can see a few running around with their eggs!

[@jake38311]

Sold a King Quad 300 2yrs. ago for $500 cause I was sick of constantly pissing around with the brakes + it was a dog and couldn't outrun cops. So the kid I sold it to sold it to another kid, he painted the rims black and now it's on Marketplace for $1900... good, I don't miss it!

[@ronniewilliz153]

My buddy use to have one an when you Locked the diffs an 4 low that bitch is a monster. Nice score.

[@daveswarbrick5576]

Someone's junked the airbox, bet the carbs not been jetted.....

[@MMXPyro]

Sweet man, can't wait to see you ride it at your parents place. Good job 👍

[@efrainv3497]

Hi just picked up a pretty mint kodiak 400. Its really clean but I believe the carb needs cleaned out because the fuel mixed with the gas when I left the fuel on. Anyway your videos gave me the confidence to take this task on. Thanks!

[@TickenLifters]

I grew up on a Suzuki Quadrunner 250 4x4 i only got that sucker stuck once because it high centered on a log very capable machines i used to pull truck to the back 40 with it took it in deep sludgy swamp mud up to the seat often it would go through more than my buddys can am 850 and his grizzly 700

[@smokeyou812]

I've seen less smoke burning a tire pile.

[@2vintage]

hahaha very true

[@kalebsettle5261]

On full choke trying to bring the idle down

[@larrywarner9314]

I see a new throttle cable in order

[@shaynedonnelly374]

Low on compression just add wd40 and pretend it restores compression lmao. Choke on full smoking like a chimney and you say running pretty good actually lmao.

[@dave06278]

I love those quad runners and king quads. I currently have 92 king quad. They run forever if treated right. I'd never own another atv then one of these. And ive owned and been around many

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

That LT 300 E won't sry hood with electric start. But fires right up with pull start, must be another Suzuki thing.

[@d.l.horton2093]

A little No Smoke or heavy engine oil like 20w50 or higher should fix that smoking issue.

[@justaguy427]

I have that same crappy red gas can from lowes.. I don't use it anymore with the included spout. Only with a jiggler siphon hose now. Much easier.

[@JoeRocket-sf6qs]

I use a bic lighter to skin wire ends quick and easy no pulling wires out.it’s revving too high.

[@Nathanallenpinard]

This is how mine ran. I cleaned the carb, replaced the choke cable (it was stuck) and haven't put in the carb just yet. Will find out after like 1 year if it runs better lol (not a big priority compared to other projects) P.S. I have too many projects.

[@Nathanallenpinard]

I still to this day haven't found a good rebuild video on one of these like you do with other models. Part of me wished this was broken.

[@jeffhumphreys2738]

I know you are very smart at fixing these old machines but in my experience white smoke is burning antifreeze…blue smoke is burning oil…and black smoke is running rich

[@MrATOMBOMB420]

I had a bike that was making over 200 lb compression but it burned oil like no tomorrow and the oil scraper rings ended up being way under speck causing it to burn oil even though it had arm ripping compression

[@ronniewilliz153]

The valve seats where probably no good letting oil leak down into the combustion chamber.

[@viktor7495]

May I ask what it was ??

[@TheTechGuider]

Polaris does have diff lock. Its locked all the time. Polaris patent it. Thats why all the other company's have a separate lever to lock the dif cause they cant get around the polaris patent.

[@njmxjunkie3128]

If you wanna come to Jersey I have a 4x4 400 xplore Polaris for $400 runs drives ugly spray painted plastics but good strong motor and blown suspension

[@andrewk6844]

suzuki ltf300 , These bike are bullet proof . one of the best bike best built air box missing is the high air intake there

[@ryzen397]

now a days the grizzly has a diff lock and my big bear 400 had one too i believe.

[@roblewis7186]

I'm currently battling a Polaris Sportsman that has no electrical power. I wish mine was that easy to fix.

[@2vintage]

Yesh electrical can be tricky. This one was easy. I got lucky on it.

[@sixteenstone007]

One of the grandkids of the previous owner grabbed the gas can for the weed eater or chainsaw and dumped it in lol. That or he didn't wanna run to the store and knew it wouldn't hurt anything and kill mosquitoes.

[@wisecampmotorcycles8258]

Smokes like Uncle Bucks Mercury Marquis Brougham 😂😂😂

[@Seriousbird]

9:13 sir there is life coming from your battery

[@bbroken1]

Time to do a ring job and valve seals I saw some scaring in the cylinder when you scoped it

[@marcelloroos766]

Great deal.😊Already know your plans on the rm125?🙂

[@c0munguyforcaz]

Awsome video!!!

[@aliengaming9029]

I would say that would be valve stem seals. My pitbike used to have a lot of white smoke and was spitting oil

[@livethecrazylife5779]

The old Honda 300 and 350 have a low gear it’s first gear but if you read trans it’s low 1 2 3 4

[@soulis1000]

He probably put some premix gas for a 2 stroke in it. If you dont label the gas cans its easy to forget what kind of gas you had in it.

[@Logan-ky3ot]

Eney one else waiting for the motor to lock up lol the smoke had me worried

[@lt-z-quadnation6644]

My grandkids where riding it around smoking out them skeeters in the yard before it died on them.🤪 Where those baby spiders running off the battery when you bumped it against the rack after testing it? 😳😬 Have you ever had the fire department come out from some of those bikes that smoke a lot ? 🤣

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

Valve seals do leak on those.

[@braaptv6838]

That rear axle looks rooted aha looks to have been rolled by the looks of it

[@fordfan6474]

I have a 88 quad runner 250’2wd it’s a beast and I can’t even get it stuck very easy

[@lancestephenson9375]

Hey that battery charger u have I have the same one i noticed if it's to low on power it wont alow it to charge if u jump the battery for just a sec could save u alot of money on batteries not saying that it works everytime but sometimes it does

[@cainwilliam2307]

The kids that rode it probably put mix in it and that's why it quit ?

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

1st swap out ignition switch, plug n play.

[@justinrobertson1590]

[@williambeckham3447]

I saw cheapest quad on marketplace and I'm surprised it's not a bayou tbh.

[@dale5303]

Haha yeah forreal

[@dmo848]

Lol😂 jus looked yesterday. Omg your right. I actually like them though now after seeing so many on Facebook

[@zmcdole]

Are you going to replace the airbox?

[@richardliddle6442]

Reminded me of like sea foam smoke

[@exlonghauler]

Really enjoyed this video !! Thank you !!

[@derpydog1008]

I had a China no name key switch on my eiger and the wires where too short so every time I turned left it would kill the bike then about 8 months later it started work intermittently which stranded me a few times and then finally I was riding and I smelled a burning smell and I felt the switch and it was very hot lucky I was at home and not in the woods when it happened if I just ignored it then it could have been worse. Don't cheap out on your electrical go OEM It just might save your ride.

[@mathewaguilar1737]

Ideling a little high there

[@metalkingforever420]

Those quadrunners are notorious smokers. I absolutely guarantee the valves need adjustment and will need adjusting annually.

[@motomania2829]

Maybe grandkids put premix in it lol

[@jamesgeorge1709]

Good for Mosquito controll

[@BeetleSmasher]

I saw that on Facebook and I was thinking about messaging the seller and ask what’s wrong with it if he knew.

Do you think the original owner was running it on a 2 stroke mixture for a while hence dirty plug and lots of oil trapped in the muffler plus the fuel having a strange smell?

[@gtisid]

my grand kids ripped the arse out of it and then it died would have been a farer thing to say, i hope it stays together but reckon it'll be a smoke machine within an hour
