First Start Attempt on $900 Can-Am DS 650 Quad. Will It Run? (Part 3)

I get the new gaskets for the top end and put the whole quad back together. I attempt to get spark and to start this $900 Can-Am DS 650 quad up for the first time. Will it run? #Quad, #650cc, #Project,

Lol Joe I called it part 3 start n ride but that fire up was to funny... scared you a bit 😂

[@borgster5773]

put it at tdc i bet the mark that the pulsar coil reads on the flywheel is not sat under it at tdc n key way is ur timings it is correct, ignition timing isnt u want help but do try trust me iv done a few its firing at the wrong time the gear for starter clutch mounts to the crank not flywheel unbolt n rotate

[@borgster5773]

it will run but like s..t

[@robertausdemore7855]

Nice work! Always a good feeling hearing the first fire. I have a 2004, It didn’t seem to be idling excessively high if you had the choke on. I think once you have it buttoned down and put that rest of the muffler on you will be good to go.(assuming your carb is clean) I can’t remember did you do a compression check on it before you messed with the valves?

[@borgster5773]

If that timing chain is “tight” we have a different meaning of tight my guy😂😂

i agree there hell thats tight

[@davehouston1410]

That is gonna be a thumper . Strong engine . They run a pretty low compression ratio. Probably could get 10 more horse with a high compression piston. I think the only deal with those quads is the weight . But I think you might get a second gear wheelie on asphalt with that sweet 650. Tons of torque. My neighbor had one.

I bought one in 2001 was one of the most expensive quads you could get then at $7200. What a beast of a machine hurt my back and ended up selling it. You can find some old info about them gearing them down to bring them into the states by putting on the original sprockets instead of the ones they came with in the states they are a much faster atv.

Man buy a nice Jumpbox...I own a detail shop for 15 years...and got a garage full of toys...the 1st 5 years I was buying cheap $100 dollar jumpboxs ...dont last a year...I finally bought a commercial heavy duty one for $450 about 8 years ago...its been behind the front seat in my truck since I bought it...cant tell you how many times its came in clutch for me and everyone around me! I can pull it out now and start 3 dead tractor trailers ,6 dirtbikes and then pump up 4 flat tires with it...then put it behind my seat plug it back in my aux and it's ready again in a few hrs...I leave it plugged in my truck and it's at 100% ...100% of the time....i use it all the time! I haven't swapped a battery or used a set a cables in 9 years...worth its weight in gold!

[@racequad9]

What brand did you go with?

[@robquattro5419]

Lack of fuel maybe causing high idle too 👀 like when your riding and start to run out of fuel she would rev up just before empty. Similar concept with minimal fuel in the lines. Worth a go?

[@joemusicman64]

Agree. It's probably running lean because it doesn't have the pressure of the gas tank.

[@327QUADRACER]

that only happens with 2 strokes. 4 strokes wont rev up when they run out of gas

[@robquattro5419]

@@327QUADRACER so explain how the high pressure fuel pump is doing it’s thing without being plugged in?

So I bought an 03’ can’t figure out for the life of me why it won’t start.. your videos have been super helpful. I wish you would have made a follow up after you rode it and the oil light still wouldn’t go out. Great work as always.

[@randomprecisionmotors3130]

What's funny about most, if not all these 'will-it-run' pieces I see from all the one's that do them, the item in question usually doesn't need a lot to get them going again. Junkyard Digs got a 3 wheeler going had been sitting for years, and all it needed was a carb rebuild pretty much. That was the only thing wrong with it. It's amazing the money that people throw away, and only because they can't be bothered with doing a little maintenance...good job on that four wheeler by the way...now you just gotta get it to idle...

[@ianallen2]

The trouble is with the 'will it run after so many years' is the state of the engine inside. Most of the people like Junkyard Digs, Vice Grip Garage etc get an old vehicle, get it running and hey presto. CT got the swamp ford running but when they stripped the engine down, it was a mess in there. What is inside the engines of all the others that are just started after a lot of years standing. Now many cars has VGG sold that have stuff inside the engine that cant be seen ?. There are some who strip down properly and check and there are the cowboys who get something running and sell to make a fast buck.

[@reedsmechanical3663]

@@ianallen2 This i can agree with, i've been working on a 200sx for about 3 weeks, slowly restoring it to its former glory (or well, close to it.) and it ran pretty good but smoked like hell when i first started it. Now, i could've completely disreguarded the smoke and idled it down and drove it, but i'm glad i tore it down and did a "proper" rebuild. Honed out the cylinder, new rings. new gaskets and a complete cleaning, after running so rough and about to be junked, the machine starts in 2 pulls and runs like a honda. you literally cant kill them.

[@MGE22024]

Bru u the man...hands down. I'm happy for you and can't wait to see the running video

[@notimegarage8632]

Always an adrenaline rush when it starts up for the first time at a high rev 😂 so sick to see you figure it out!

Good idea to put a little oil on that cam cover gasket. They do tend to leak a bit. Great job.

[@chumurkz]

Thank you bro, now I’m going to do the oil change on my bombardier.

[@twoends80]

Your lucky your kill switch worked i wasn't and when I started my cr250r for the first time not only did it rev to the moon I recon it did a few laps around . In a panic I ripped the lead off the spark plug and yeah ⚡shit did it give me a good buzz 🤣.. Good work as always loving all the videos 🤘🏻

[@kevinkev1530]

Nice work hommie glad she's running

[@ianallen2]

I would say the oil bleeder is there for if the engine was completely stripped down and the oil pump has to be primed. The oil pump should still have oil in it after an oil drain.

[@briankennedy5578]

When you change the filter you need to bleed it.

[@ianallen2]

@@briankennedy5578 I think you should read the manual. You only need to bleed the pump if the red light does not go out. That indicates there is no oil pressure. A normal oil and filter change should not reqire it to be bled as oil will still be in the pump. Read it and weep www.can-amforum.com/threads/changing-oil-on-a-2001-ds-650.30284/

Homie not critiquing but you should never use a extension with a torque wrench. The extension can twist giving improper torque to the nuts and especially a super long 6 inch one like that.
