Hands down of the best Chinese ATV content creators. I hope all is good and you get back to making some videos

[@pappynotpapi2070]

I Miss this guys videos, I hope he plans to come back😢.

[@derrickrepko1670]

Where you at bro? It's been 8 months an nothing new. Hope all is well! I just found your channel today an watched some of your videos an love the content an how you present your videos! Hope to see new videos!

[@Exocet-ep2mk]

Yeah, I like his channel, but he seems to be not making new content. Hope nothing bad happened to the dude?

[@PreacherDan]

Dude come back to the table.

[@SilverBulletNation]

We miss your videos man! Hope all is well.

[@logan0377]

We need you to come back man

[@davidbakker2264]

Come back dude, love the video’s! Take care!

[@MikeJaws]

Hey BJ, great vid as always my man. A carb video would be great! Showing what size carb to use on what cc Chinese engine, the differences between PZ19 vs 20, etc. and how/when to service a carb would make for some good content! Just my 2 cents, for what its worth 😎. Great to have you back.

[@frank1128]

I rebuilt a 200cc atv for my nephew. After fixing so many hacked splices in it I just decided to buy a new harness. Solved so many problems.

[@williamirwin6205]

Full carb clean video would be amazing. Love your videos man. Huge fan of your channel

[@jtveg]

Yes agreed, especially if there are adjustments other than just the idle screw.

[@joshuageorge7758]

You can order them for $20 already pre adjusted, comes with new air filter, fuel filter, and some even come with new spark plugs.

[@jtveg]

@@joshuageorge7758 Thanks for the information.

[@alsouthern7190]

Man, "WELCOME BACK!!" Been waiting for you to start posting videos again and yes a carb cleaning video would be great or anything. Glad your back is doing good since surgery so keep those great vids coming!

[@bryonnagle4329]

Hey bj where you been buddy love your videos miss seeing them hope your back is better I know how it feels I live with back problems too hope to see you soon

[@ke0ourwilliam982]

So good to have you back

[@anuarmartinez8947]

excellent video, can you do one about chinese atv wheel alignment, please?

[@stropcity1666]

Great job... Man wish i was close enough to purchase one from u. Keep up great work...GOD BLESS

[@shanelay4519]

Carb video would be great also glad your back keep them coming out man.

[@kar21ol96]

A carb video would be pretty helpful. I’m trying to get my first ever atv running after about 5 years. Thanks!

[@jeepinwithjim9894]

BJ's videos helped me completely rebuild a free, off the side of the road, non running 110cc Coolster ATV for my grandson. The video on the wiring was very useful. Good luck.

[@kar21ol96]

@@jeepinwithjim9894 thanks! I know how to rebuild any I have the wiring charts but the hardest thing will be buying new parts and some tools since I’m trying to save up for a car rn

[@ttmoto9754]

Hello, i really hope you are coming back i have to come back and just rewatch Your videoes every now and then because they are so good. You have not uploaded in almost 2 years and you still have almost 30 thousand subscribers. That just tells me one thing, I’m not the only one that want you to come back to you tube. Good luck with Your health and i hope we will se some more content from you in the near future.😊

[@danieldelarosa8806]

Hope you doing well.. haven't seen or heard anything. Awesome content I learned to work on broken projects and get them going thanks to your videos

[@jeepinwithjim9894]

Another great video BJ. A carb video is an excellent idea 👍. I always stick around to the end to watch the kids enjoy the fruits of your labor.

[@joshuageorge7758]

You spend almost as much on carb cleaner as you would ordering new, they come pre adjusted, new filters, and new plugs, and new fuel lines and clamps for $20-$25

[@BusterB2398]

I REALLY enjoy your videos ! Keep it up cuz i got sad when you quit posting but I get it ! Life happens no hate ! But very happy to see you do a couple new videos ! 📹

[@jtveg]

Great build as usual and your advice has helped me a lot with my recently obtained really poor condition Chinese quad bike. I share your frustration and pain when you have to diagnose some weird intermittent problem. Mine was due to a blocked jet in the carburetor because the previous owner had removed the fuel filter thereby allowing rust particles and other fine gunk to block the jets and had also accumulated in the bottom of the carby bowl. Thanks so much for sharing. 😉👌🏻

[@charlestresnicky1144]

Im glad the youtube algorithm brought me here, kinda wish I got here before. Great content man.

[@justinrjensen2]

happy to have you back

[@Danfrd]

I've watched all your ATV videos and noticed you don't really mention clutch, sprocket and chain maintenance and replacement. I see a lot of people also mention carburetor maintenance requests. Your videos are so well done, thanks for the uploads.

[@sonmorales3844]

I was just given one of these. Watching ur video. Kinda gives me place to start

[@jeffferguson899]

really hoping you are going to start making videos again soon.

[@wandajames6234]

I hope you are doing well-- I've had 13 surgeries but still keep crawling out to the backyard trying to get my neighbour's grandson's 110 cc Zongkang quad going. Have replaced all wiring. The starter spins on a bench test but when I put it on the atv it won't spin. I apply direct current to the starter case and all I get are sparks... am going mental over this thing so I really enjoyed your rant... the language coming out of my backyard is not fit for sailors, lol! Have no idea what to do next but it will be aggravating, whatever it is!

[@EATSLEEPFARM]

This is why i use a pico scope for almost everything even quads anymore. After i do the basics and i still have an issue the scope will always let me know where im at. Glad you figured it out👍

[@4mericanp4triot93]

Where did you get the tabletop engine stand? Bought or diy? Thanks for the great vids that gives us diy’ers the courage and info we need to learn to do what we love!

[@cwinney13]

I just found this channel and just realized he hasn’t posted in like 2 years! That sucks! I’d love more content

[@davidmccarthy-q4f]

Same here 😢

[@100610victor]

Found your channel 4 days ago and I'm almost out of content... more videos please 🙏

[@gkcoupe]

Bro I just found your Chanel and damn you're a scientist with it my man. It's a shame you don't put out content more often. I've learned a lot from your posts. I would definitely appreciate more when you get the chance.

[@davidschumacher52]

Glad your doing well and back to making content. I find your vids to be informative and relaxing. Keep up the good work!

[@moea.9333]

Where u att bro come back.

[@deepsouthgrease]

Glad to see you back brother!

[@customztranzformation]

where can i get a engine work stand similar to yours looks pretty handy

[@ericneumann529]

great to see you back and in better health, learned allot from watching, and wanted to say thank you because you helped me restore a 150cc Tao Hummer for myself and a few rebuilds on 125cc for friends, looked for that engine stand you have but then remembered its custom made so fabed my own, had to laugh when you said about the guy pulling the timing chain tensioner and the spring flew off, had that happen too

[@Exocet-ep2mk]

Yeah, that spring got me too. Thing shot out and scared the mess out of me.

[@andrewtaylor5421]

Thanks for the new video, I enjoy them. So nice to see these bikes getting fixed up. ✌️

[@adriansellars6846]

Inspired me to get a project for my son have it apart now but waiting for warmer weather to get back on it. Fun way to teach my son who is 4 going on 5 so you can imagine what thats like. Look forward to your next project.

Fantastic explanation. Thanks again for your sharing your experience.

Thnx for posting, been missing your videos. Good bless you and your family. Aloha 😎🤙🏻

[@z4mbz848]

WELCOME BK to the best mechanic on atv💯🔥

As you mentioned in the video, a carb video would be great. I recently have been fixing on an old chinese atv also and ordered a new carb and wiring harness, but it still ran like crap. Just this sunday I noticed that the main jet in the carb did not have a hole in it at all. No hole what so ever... Really annoying and must have been a production error, but after drilling it with a tiny drillbit it actually works now. Just wanted to share that ;)

[@luluvacheslav6698]

Lets Go!!!! Nice to see you back!

[@ronniemartinez1070]

He's Back!!🔧💪🏼, And Yes please on a video to clean, set and tune the carburetor BJ.. Much obliged Sir!

[@juanalvarez8416]

Love the videos and info. I started this little hobby a few years back. I have an issue with the electrical. Connect all components to it's correct connections. When I hook my battery up the negative post sparks and my fuse starts to glow. It's a 2019 extreme CRT 125-1 ATV

[@rusackson]

Great Videos keep up the quality content. I was having all the same issues you were having in this video. I had all the components of Fuel, Air, Compression, Timing, and Spark! Low and behold the Crank Position Sensor on the Stator can be adjusted! Fought for days, pulled the flywheel, new plugs etc... Turned the Crank Pickup a millimeter or two and it fired right up and is running perfect now. Thanks Again! gave me an insight of where to look.

[@sk8punkXIII]

Found you wile you where on vacation we will say and you are a wealth of knowledge keep it up. The carb vid would be great.

[@sashaf.5176]

Thanks for sharing. your videos have helped me bring a 200cc Chinese quad bike to life.👏👏👏👍

For the rubber seals soak them in transmission fluid. Would help swell the seals and maintain their elasticity

Great video man! I’ve watched a lot of your videos and it’s helped me to fix my kiddos atv’s! A carb video would be greatly appreciated! Keep it up! 🤙🏻🇺🇸

[@Anchor-Tractor-Man]

Your harness vids are best on KZbin! Thanks man on helping me revive an old Ducar 125cc 4spd manual that I built for my daughters 13 years ago and has sat for the past 10. I've got some left over plugs from my harness...lights??

[@overhoard]

Great to see you back BJ! You’re the major inspiration in my own Chinese atv obsession/hobby so I’ve been slacking on fixing all of mine for the past year, now it’s time to get back to work! I have a question about plastic carb spacers: I notice you’re not running one on the 125 in this video, I keep having them crack and blow out on the first run with my 110s, not even heavily torquing them, just lightly tightened. Do you recommend not using spacers at all? Thanks man, you’re the best!

[@overhoard]

Does anybody have any input on these spacers?

[@StevenChaosCloud]

It’s all about the spacing you have if you need one or not. You get the same result with just the oring on the carb next to the input shaft. All that matters is no air leak.

[@phillipmier2589]

Post a video of you riding wheelies all the way down the driveway.

[@FoxyBuildsDIY]

I could really use a carb video. Would love an in depth on how to find the correct main jet when you have no info on the engine or the stock main jet. How does one figure it out? Ball park based on engine size? If so, what's a good starting point?

[@kenanlynch8454]

Amazing video mate 👍🏽

[@jaycole6876]

I have a 125 ice Bear ATV and who I got it from tore the wiring apart. I thought it would make more sense to get a new wiring harness and rewire it back to factory but I'm having issues with not getting any spark. I have a three pin plug on the back side of the harness that goes into the brake light that I do not have the brake light and there's a two-pin plug next to it and I have no idea where that goes because there's nothing back there for it. I also have it black wire and the yellow wire with a green line with two clips on each end that I have no idea where it goes to and another two-wire clip. Same color wires. I can send pictures. Just hoping you get this message

[@ShawnForbes]

yes pls do give us full carb cleaning adjusting and tuning video. 😁

[@randywhite7434]

awesome work bro

[@salvadorramirez5584]

Would like to see a 200cc 250cc Chinese atv build overall best diy videos on KZbin 👍 👍

[@jackas1583]

Hey BJ, my atv has 5 wires for stator connector. Yellow, white, blue, blk/red n green. And i bought a stator which has green, blue, yellow, reddish n black. Could you pls kindly advise which go where? Thanks great videos... Because of your inspiration i decided to change mine.

[@paulhines623]

a whole video on the carby would be great

[@jacobtucker9765]

Like see more scooter bulilds all great

[@cmjsparky2618]

Thanks bj for the electrical wiring harness. I'm restoring a baja 90 for my kids and I got it running. Anyways it's missing all the plastic trim bolts and a few engine mount bolts any idea where I can find a kit?

Always greats videos and informative

[@garycrawford6912]

Im curious how long you been doing this with flipping the atv and china bikes. ? I been collecting the engines and quads for a while now love what you're doing

[@ALMIGHTYGARAGE]

Dang bro this just happened to me lol remember when I asked you on another video for help cple days ago lol that's what happened I washed it the stator went out I put a new one on and some the bolts came loose lol and I put a new staror on it and it's fine now lol I still need to find a new harness tho it's a 110 b with the rear foot break pedal normal harness won't work bc don't have that but yea I spent a whole day and half n hrs of research lol I feel you bro n that quad is cool how much u sell it for I been getting around 500 outta them picked up two of these for 150 already sold the other just carbs on both well now I'll have to get this wiring harness and u taught me that thanks bro

[@ruannaude8197]

I just picked up a 125cc atv can you do a uncorking video about the exhaust and headers. From what I understand they are extremely restricted practically sealed off.

[@saulgarcia7859]

Why did he stop making videos?? Been a few years.

[@117moose]

ratchet straps idea is a good idea

[@PraskaBoysGarage]

I really needed a second set of hands! The strap was the next best option!

[@loucostello2680]

Hello great video it is helping with my project but is there a link for the ATV table engine stand you use it would be nice thanks 👍

[@Smalltechguy]

I've subscribed to your channel the first time I watched it. I get a lot of customers with these small engines as well. At times though I feel it easier to get a new motor. I have the same engine back again because it stopped running after it was good to go a few months ago. Now it doesn't run or won't pop. A head castle nut has been lost. The compression comes in at 90 PSI and has spark. What get me is why do these cam gears always turn 180 off???? I fell that is probably the issue. It was fun though being that it seemed that you always found the easier bikes to work on with success and this one was the Gremlin....

[@joecounihan8016]

Have a taotao 125cc. Ran good till suddenly bent the exhaust valve... Why does this happen I've seen other people have this problem including your KZbin videos order the new complete cylinder wonder if the timing chain roller could have been a problem too

[@hebrewhooligan5462]

Hey so I have a question that I can't find an answer to that might make a good video for you??? I'm trying to figure out how to delete the key switch on that wiring harness you recommend in another video. I know I'll have to put a power switch on it to keep voltage drop from happening but that still sounds better to me.

[@bubblez9104]

How do you guys wash the engines after taking them out? Im scared to get water in the engine

[@erikaraujomartinez721]

Hey BJ hoping you can be of some help I got my kid a 2019 Tao Tao New cheetah but I have the problem of it not going into reverse now? I got a new clutch Kit for it that I’m going to put in ,but not 100% sure that will fix it anything I could look out foot once I’m in there ? Side note it will run forward just fin

Missed you man!

[@Leon-cq1th]

Praska boys garage. Awesome work and good explanation. It has helped me in the past on a few projects. I have a question maybe you can get me a clue what to do. I got a 250cc roketa Chinese quad and tried to install the wiring harness and it doesn't do anything except keep burning the fuse. I did another one 50cc successfully but this 250cc is giving me trouble.

[@tuckswanger]

Thanks for the information

[@louieTraina]

what is the easiest way to troubleshoot with no spark? I put in everything brand new with a new wiring harness and still no spark could it be the ground?
