could you do a gas jet engine bicycle or go-kart resoration? it would be cool to see how they work and tricks for more force/power

[@kevinAuman1]

Quit hitting the throttle dude, a high compression engine won't start if you keep dickking around with the throttle like that it wanted to start a few times with just gas down the throat when you left the throttle alone lol just pour more gas down and lay off the throttle and let it start by itself it'll do it....

[@tracysellman1562]

I want to say love your work, The only suggestion I have, I ran my own small engine shop for 10 years, and whenever I saw a bent valve on a head and had it broken down as far as you have this one, I always marked the valves as to their location and removed all the valves checked the springs hight and decarbonized everything with a soak and brushing in Seafoam and then hand lapped all the valves to the matching seats, and I also checked the head and cylinder surfaces for square and flatness, before reassembling them and of course all new high-quality gasket sets and new valve seals always. But you do a good job brother.

[@mikey_-xy7ru]

Aww man can’t wait to see you rip this one

[@newbsauce87]

That must have been the best feeling ever. A few months ago I bought a non running polaris predator (finding parts for this atv was ROUGH). Cleaned fuel tank, repalced petcock,fuel lines, sparkcap, battery, spark plug, fuel pump and carb still wouldnt start. messed with it for an hour and realized the grounding cable from the battery just wasnt tight enough. tightned it, got it running and sold for a $2000 profit. I think i wanna get a fixer upper raptor next! Great video thank you!

[@westman8527]

I just picked up the exact same quad for 1200 bucks and thus far it only seems to need carbs rebuilt and a starter solenoid, ill be checking the compression Spark and doing an oil change next week.

[@95Sn95]

I've had my 2001 since 2007 I never ever use the parking brake so one time years ago the parking brake switch got bumped just enough to activate it and tried riding it and it would not rev out just bumble at low rpms, I was baffled pulled the carbs (pain in the ass every time) and nothing ....then I see the little lever pulled out a little bit I pushed it in an wabahhhh it was back. I was so happy and discussed at the same time. I does not take much to make a 660 wake up from its fairly docile rider friendly stock form. Mine has a hot cam (stage one I would think but not shure) big gun headpipe, R4 silencer, air box mods with k&n filter, and a DynoJet kit and it flat out rips for those few mods.it will walk right away from a stock 660 with just a slip on. I also went -1 tooth front and +2 on back and a set of 18" on back (20" front), it dropped top speed to around 60ish from 80ish but it gained retarded acceleration and snappiness, hardest part is keeping front down when it hooks. Unless you desert or road ride you don't need an 80mph top end. You can shift as fast as you can blip the clutch bam bam bam, pretty wild for sport wheeler, these guys that say "my 450 will dust a raptor" are full of crap 450 MAY edge out a raptor in a drag race but it won't "dust" it. I've seen plenty of videos where there neck n neck and even after switching riders.... The raptors definitely have more Tq but they are 50lbs heavier and power curve is waaaay different. It's apples to oranges 2 very different machines for 2 different purposes but both are fast and both have there pros and cons. I will say Off the show room floor a 450 is definitely faster.

[@corporalclegg914]

Congrats! it’s hard to believe the 1st jump box didn’t produce enough amps to spin the starter effectively. this seems like a big Win for you & didn’t spend extra time chasing Gremlins or non-issues. that 660 is gonna rip, Dude!

[@2vintage]

Yeah inwas getting worried that it wasn't going to start lol

[@corporalclegg914]

@@2vintage - I wasn’t…it’s what you do, Man. I have ideas for a ‘universal’ flywheel puller kit. I’ll AutoCAD it out this year & CNC from plate steel.

[@ThePeavey23]

So winter is coming and I need a new project…. Might get me a fixeruper .. 2vintage gives me the bug! Great videos man!

[@owenmussig6705]

A trick to start anything without the carbs is just spraying starting fluid in the entrance to where the carbs would be just dont to a ton because it will want to rev up extremely high

I think you should build yourself a bench instead of working on a piece of cardboard on the floor, or go too a school auction and find yourself a heavy duty teacher's desk. They work really great

Should never, ever put any new engine part in the chuck of a drill, especially a new valve. The slightest burr on the stem could damage the valve guide when you install it. Glad to see all these old bikes revived though!

Use a wire hanger on the frame to hold the timing chain it will save some heartache

That's a 2001 1-way bearing assembly if you to replace the 1-way assembly go with the 02 03 assembly i believe 04 05 1-way assembly bearing and flywheel are different

I know it doesn't matter now but I think you missed the slight kiss the piston made with the value. You can see it in the first video.

Awesome video bro🔥🔥

[@2vintage]

Thank you!

[@chaddowns4680]

You need a 40x60 garage dude..

[@David-lx6yc]

Dont give it that mutch gas when starting. Most 4 stroke carbs have a jet that squirts fuel into your intake. So everytime the throttle opens fuel shoots into the intake, this way you could easily flood your bike. Just a tip for next time.

[@Thewatson77]

Another job well done 👍🏼

[@SteveTheCanadian]

[@gtisid]

That mark inside the crank case is probably where the chain nearly came off the cog and got all the stretch, but mad that the valve didnt crunch the piston crown.....or did it?. The problems with bike shops is they never want to do the short fix it would have been all the valves need changing or re seating , all new springs and seals, probably would have put a whole new top end in also (just to be safe ) and the bill would have been about $2500 minimum.

A much easier way to lap those valves is to put a drill at the end were the seal goes on and go in and out slowly works much better and faster

Yes I have done that before. It seems to make it uneven though.
