[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Great saves on those starters for sure! Interesting information to store away for future reference.

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Fix-it Man!!! My success with starters is recent! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!

[@aaronpowell4885]

Nice saves👍 hey, function over form! That mega deal just keeps getting sweeter!!

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Aaron!!! I needed 2 right away, at this point I successfully rebuilt 3 of them, it is always good to have a spare on the shelf!!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, understanding, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!!

[@Donny_Buysall]

Thanks for the info man! Good to know as I deal with bad starters here and there and this is handy to know.

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Donny!!! The ability to bring a dead starter back to life can be the difference between a good deal and being just plain crushed! Glad I could help! Thanks for Ur kind words, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Congrats, this was right in your wheelhouse Harvey. The rest of the treasure should be a treat also, I'll be waiting.

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Steve!!! I've rebuilt 4 of this type now, it is good to have some spares, much better than $75 each!!! Thanks always for Ur thoughts, support, watching, and commenting!!!!

[@EmanDeluxeVLOGS]

Nice score! Will be great to see what else is in the deal! Love it all Harvey.👌

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey E-man!!! There was a lot of good stuff in the pile, but, there is one piece that I really need! I'll put that video up on Tuesday... Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!

[@brentspepper2087]

Thank you for this video. In the last hour I pulled a 200E starter that was seized. The brushes looked new but there was bad rust in the body of the starter.

[@duckworthatvandmxadventure6601]

Cool vid Harvey! Great deal on the starters

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Duckworth!!! I had the need for 2 200es starter, I had none and discovered that they were not cheap and easy to get.... At this point, my problem is fixed, .... Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!

[@duckworthatvandmxadventure6601]

@@HarveySpooner hey Harvey just picked up a 1982 200e Big Red for free the plastics are all intacted but light on compression so I pulled the engine out and gonna slap some rings in it but It doesn't seem to be getting oil to the cam? Thoughts on this issue?

[@mickreid7153]

Great work Harvey. How much repairable stuff gets binned? 🖖👍👊

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Mick! I did not have too much luck fixing starter until recently, This version of starter is not easily available, so, chucking it in the bin means a hole in the machine! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, watching, and commenting!!!!

[@davidmayes6960]

Nice save.. Things are getting harder and harder to find.. Or atleast harder to purchase lol.

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey David!!! There is no China copy of these starters and the used ones are around $75, learning to rebuild them is a huge step forward!!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts, encouragement, understanding, watching, and commenting!!!

[@mikespain8655]

Low battery, moisture, and excessive cranking (overheating), are what usually kills a starter over time.

[@markcook5962]

Do you have a video on how you made that m12 power supply?

[@HarveySpooner]

Hi Mark!!! I bought the M12 battery holder off of eBay, it was 3d printed.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!

[@Bri-tg6xr]

Hey Harvey, do you have any use for an old 85 trx250 a seat that needs covering? I can't get rid of it and I'm thinking of donating.

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Bri, I can always use a spare seat! 35years have buried a lot of seats, they are in short supply.... I live in NY, how can I get to the seat??? Thanks for the offer, watching, and commenting!!!

[@user-wj9xq7ig2v]

Question for anyone. Looks like the positive on the starter is shorted to ground. Mines doing that too. What causes this?

[@chrisburton8402]

you ever sell any parts or do you just fix them?

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Chris, I don't sell parts or ATVs, I am too disorganized to deal with sales, I always need whatever I sold and I regret the sale, and I have had difficult customers, so, I just don't sell anything. Sorry! Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!

[@derpydog1008]

i have a starter the someone over torqued the positive terminal as well but i need to find a grommet mine is rotten to pieces. any ideas?

[@HarveySpooner]

Hey Dog! I would buy a rebuild kit like this, www.ebay.com/itm/252983359408?hash=item3ae6fbb7b0:g:HdsAAOSw1BlZO1rf , and take the parts I need it..... I hope this helps! Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!

[@derpydog1008]

@@HarveySpooner hey man thanks. i made a new bushing out of some fuel line and all I need to do is solder it back and I'm ready to rock👍

[@XChronicKushxx]

Harvey I have been watching for a good while. But I have a question. I have a Honda recon es that won’t shift and I hooked up a 12v battery to the shift motor and nothing happened and when I hook it up to the multimeter there’s no continuity. And the dash is flashing a 3 fault code please help

[@HarveySpooner]
