Hey man I'm having issues with 04 prairie 700. It won't rev up it will idle fine. Hear Is what I have done to it so far. New fuel pump Put carbs off running quad Adjusted valve's Did compression test Did leak down test Tested coils New spark plugs I just can't get it 😪 any ideas thanks in advance.

[@darreng2639]

I'll send someone $100 if you can tell me what is wrong. Let me know I can call text or email

[@HammerHeadGarage]

@@darreng2639 Might be an electrical issue. Check all the wiring that deals with ignition and fuel. Sometimes coils test fine but break down under load.

[@sobeit1927]

My kvf 650 was backfiring through the exhaust and the carbs . I put rebuild kit in carbs , new plugs and set valve clearance. Inlet on valves had no clearance. So I set at 5 thou . Started it but no different . Reassembled the air box and it is now running great . However I don’t know which part of what I did actually solved the problem . I’ve just read somewhere that the valves on these tighten up rather than go loose and you can then lose compression . Please can you tell me if this is correct and would this have caused my backfiring issue ? Love your vids from North Wales UK .

[@MainMatK]

Awesome, glad I found you by accident. I just bought a BF 2 days ago. The more I get into it, the more I can tell it's been severely abused. It was coughing really bad, no 4x4, now I got a red light blinking. Don't know what that is. I guess the label has worn away that tells what the lights are. Anyway, got my work cut out for me. If you get on it and, as you say, "give it the beans", it will nearly throw you off of it. Gotta love that quote! So, at least there's life in it still. Thanks bro liked, subsribed

I am really hoping you can help point me in the right direction for my quad. It’s an 08 650 brute force and has essentially the same issue described here. It’s got good fuel flow that should be filling the carbs. The carbs looked really clean inside too when taken apart. I was riding the quad and everything was running really well until going up a hill it fell on its face and lost half power. I have not been able to find the issue and am running out of ideas to try

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Belt reset is easy. Unhook the 2 pin actuator plug on the belt cover. Under the seat find your grey plug. Plug it into the black connector and then the black into the grey. Turn on the key and the belt light should flash quickly and then settle down to a normal slow blink. Let it do that for 30 seconds. Plug everything in the way you had it and start the machine. Belt light reset.

[@brentbrooks3663]

So I just got my hands on an '08 Kawasaki teryx..I gave it a new set of plugs, new oil and oil filter along with an air filter. This one is carbed before they came out with the fuel injection. I feed it premium gas and starts takes a bit to warm up, but when it does it idles perfectly. My question is that I'll be going right along, it'll lose power and start to backfire. I shut it off wait a few minutes turn it back on and can go again, what's causing this. Also it seems to get pretty hot, do they run like that, or should I be changing the thermostat?...I've had Honda four-wheelers and worked on my own for years, but this Kawasaki has me stumped..

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Hey Brad. Sounds like an ignition problem. Test the coil it may be failing when things heat up. Also just run regular gas, dont need premium.Also make sure the valves are adjusted and the spark plugs are not black (fouled).They should not run hot. Does the fan come on? if not your fan relay,motor or thermo switch is bad. Check the fuse first.

[@megrutt2oo8]

I have a 2008 tertiary with a carbarated brute motor. I replaced the old vacuum fuel pump with an electric one. I was told I needed less that 4psi. Does this sound correct? I am having the same issue mid throttle stutter and backfire. Any help would be great!

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Yeah about 4-6psi usually. Are the valves in spec? compression test is in order I think.

[@evancobbs7344]

Do you have an knowledge on a 2002 kawasaki prairie 650? If so I have a question. I just got one for free got it running just doesn't seem to have a lot of power. I replaced the oil and batterey and ordered carb rebuild kits so I can go thru that and see if I have anything clogged any thing else you would recommend to look into?

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Do a compression and leak down test and compare the results with your service manual.

[@wadehiers]

Hey Shawn, I have a (new to me) 2005 Brute Force (Carbureted), that was backfiring out the tail pipe but stopped once I switched to pure gas (no ethanol). but it's still hard starting and has really low power. Thinking I need to rebuild/clean the carbs and replace the vacuum fuel pump and maybe the fuel tap/petcock valve along with a new pair of plugs. Anything else I should consider looking at for this?

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Adjust the valves and do a leak down test.

[@BrigT262]

shaun, I've got a 2006 Brute force 750. Extremely clean well kept low mile machine. It's having a hard time cold starting. Crank and crank and crank..finally she'll fire up. Did a complete tear down on both carbs, cleaned all the tiny side port holes on the pilot jet as well as the main jet base. Its giving me a slight backfire issue as well. Any ideas?? Just does not want to cold start. Have you made a video on brute force carb maintenance? Love the channel. Love the excellent informative info!

[@HammerHeadGarage]

with the machine running, spray some carb cleaner around the intake boots where the carbs join and on the head side. If it dies or you notice a change in idle you have an air leak. Also is your enrichner working properly? what do the plugs say? Rich and sooty? whitish lean.

[@BrigT262]

@HammerHeadGarage I wasn't aware of an enricher. Old plugs looked good. Just a shade on the dark side. Can you do a carb rebuild / fuel system video?

[@Themadhatter89]

Hey there, Thanks for the vid, I'm new to the channel and found you as am having issues with my 09 750BF. I actually just got it back from a service attempting to get it running properly and it still back fires and barely goes above 35. My research let me to suspect a faulty ecm/ecu, I just tested the machine with the ecm unplugged and it rides exactly the same as with it in. Do you think it's worth me looking at the fuel pump or should I start looking for a new (used) ecm? I don't know of any way to repair it at all do you?

[@HammerHeadGarage]

get an ecu out of a know good running machine and try it. The machine wont run without the ecu plugged in.

[@Themadhatter89]

Thanks, I unplugged the single plugged box at the rear. After your response I just did some more digging and think it might be the ecu actuator instead. That kinda puts me back in the unknown as not sure it would run the same with that out.

Hey brother thanks for the great video. I just picked up a 2007 750, Doing similar things, will not rev out all the way tops out at 50km, I inspected the belt and reset the light already. It’s pretty sluggish. Starts and idles fine. Does this fuel flow test only apply to the efi 2008+ models? or do you recommend I get right into the carbs on the carbureted models? (From your experience)

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Is the gas old(more than 45 days old) if so replace. Air filter is clean? any check engine light on? Batt voltage at idle? (Should be 13.5-14.5 v dc) Take the discharge line off the fuel pump. Is lots of fuel coming out of the line (the one going to the carbs)? Is there fuel inthe bowls?

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Step 1. Do a cylinder leakdown test on both cylinders. More than 12% on each there is a problem. Step 2, do a fuel flow test. You may have a clogged or bad fuel pump. Let me know when you do these things. Any codes? FI light lit on the dash.

[@gonzobongo6669]

1st off thanks for the knowledgeable vidoe(s) new subscriber here. My questions are, will that fuel pump from RockAuto work for the application of a 2010 Kawasaki Teryx 750 fi? My son did the oil change on our Teryx while I was at work & put 4 quarts in when it was only supposed to be 2.7, he drove the damn thing & oil started spitting out the exhaust smoking from exhaust + the gear shifter box he turned off the T-rex once he noticed which didn't take long, now the damn thing runs sluggish as a tortoise/backfires. The plugs were fouled- I changed them out but still running sluggish, the fuel filter was dirty as heck replacing that as well, now I'm going to check the spark arrestor may end up totally removing it. Your thoughts please.

[@HammerHeadGarage]

The fuel pump mod I did should work on anything with an in tank pump. Yeah we have had them over filled before. Just make sure you flush it out real good and it should be fine.

Love the tip bro would the fuel pump recommendation be the same here in New Zealand in regards to getting it out of a different vehicle such as the wrangler? I have the 2007 kvf650 and it's doing that limiter sound... the local mechanic said the carby and motor was fine as it idles and starts ok it just won't full throttle and makes that limiter sound every time I try to full throttle driving? I tried the factory reset and it kind of worked for like half an hour but now it's doing it again...? Local mechanic said to bypass it by rewiring or cutting the wire at the computer or on the wire loom somewhere where ever that needs to be to stop it from limiting? On the flip side I will do this fuel test now though just to see if it is the fuel pump 😎

[@HammerHeadGarage]

don't ever cut any of the wires on these machines. Worst thing you could do. Get a factory service manual and work out your issues one at a time slowly.

[@100prooffitnesslifestyle7]

My serial is in bits and pieces and I can't make sense of it so I'm just reading through a pdf I downloaded online. When you say go through step by step what do you mean ? Are you saying not to do the fuel test with the measuring cup for 150mls like your video says ? I'm confused now 🤔

Hey, Originally my 09 brute 750 was losing power for more than 10kms/hr. When I turn it off and turn the key to on position three times it would run fine for 30seconds and then same problem. I thought it was fuel pump so I replace the fuel pump assembly (60$ ebay) and with the new fuel pump FI lights blinks in the key on position. After turning the key to on position quad might start for for few second but I have to hold the throttle at one position if I let go or rev more it would die and not start again until I turn the key 3 times. I have put the original pump back now has same issue. I tried a volume test and it is more than 250ml on three primes. With the original pump quad use to idle fine but now I put the same pump and it doesn't. Only thing different is blinking FI light. Should I try buying another pump? Can you please help me out? Thanks

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Take it somewhere and have the codes read. You have a failed sensor somewhere in the FI system.

Not in the sock filter but the hidden one inside the plastic fuel pump housing. Google it. Hook a fuel pressure gauge to the bike. Ride it till it acts up and look at the pressure reading.

After watching a few of your videos on the 2008 Brute Force I'm now hesitant to buying a used one off of Craigslist. The guy has good pics but of course no way to see details. I am meeting with him at a community boat ramp this afternoon to look it over and test drive. $3,500 and it has 182 hours. Have no idea how he used it. Considering this is my 1st ATV buy, how would you go about this? Avoid and buy something else?

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Ok, number 1. check the air filter. If it is not clean then move on. 2. Leak down test will tell you the health of the engine. Anything over 12% leakage is a problem.

[@patrickdezenzio4988]

@@HammerHeadGarage Well that says it all then. I asked where the air filter was and they didn't know. They bought it off a guy 3 or 4 years ago. It sounded good but from what you said, that means 3 to 4 years of never replacing the air filter. They didn't use it much; it sat up for a year. Engine looked good actually. Very clean all around with some wear and tear on the body. Lot's of power. All I need one for is to help me maintain my 7 acre property - getting too old dragging tree trunks to the burn pile and a zero turn mower isn't really made for that and I need an ATV for those times I get my zero turn stuck in the muck.
