Seller Couldn't Fix This ATV So I Got It FREE

[@kevamor]

Man you got pretty good at all this over the years. Great job! Electrical can drive some crazy but you understand well how to trace things down.

[@homebrewer7]

Greetings from Indianapolis, Indiana. Fantastic project. I just GG turned 88 yrs and enjoy all you post. Great to see your family. Makes your program memorable. Love it.

[@canebuilder3520]

Thank you for saving us too from the incessant booster beeping, I always wondered if it was getting on your nerves!

[@HereistheDeal]

With all your Projects, I am a bit surprised you do not have an Out-building for storage with the size of your property instead of paying a place to keep them off-site. Love the way you formatted your yard for test riding, that itself is awesome. Also your hands on and narration of what you are doing is outstanding, You do it so flawlessly anyone could follow along and understand what you are tracing down or trying to uncover. I enjoy looking forward to watching your troubleshooting...

[@commishg]

Your process is a life lesson for us all, even those of us who aren't mechanics. If is an effective combination of common sense, patience, and perseverance. You don''t get angry or frustrated. When you are puzzled, you simply say "hmm" and continue the process until you find the problem and solve it. Kudos to your character. P.S. Keep the test driver on the payroll.

[@martindavis925]

I love watching the electric solutions talked through ✌️

[@singplumb]

Do you ever hear from the people that sold you something “cheap”, or gave away? Do they watch your videos and think to themselves, why didn’t I check that? I really enjoy your videos. You seem like a great guy, our world needs as many great guys that we can get.

[@toddabbott781]

A bit of plastic wending , some filler, and some paint would fix that cracked plastic. One thing I like is how you cover the basics. Check the battery and hook up a jumper pack. See if it cranks, then take the spark plug out, look at the color, put some oil in the cylinder, check for spark and check for compression. Then check the oil levels and condition, check the gas and flow rates, clean out the carburetor, then fire it up. Then you check all the lights and horn, breaks, chain/belts, tires, shocks, and bearings. You just methodically go through everything. I also like that you prefer fixing a wiring problem instead of doing bypasses. Then you usually clean it up. I like that you even buy cosmetic parts and correct clips and bolts for everything to return it to the best shape you can. You are also meticulous when setting gaps, and clearances and rebuilding anything in the engine or transmission. You want it to run like near new condition. I also like that you would rather get a used original or rebuild an original part that just drop in a cheap Chinese part.

[@rememberthis8795]

Okay, truth be told that was the Misses ripping that ATV around before we saw her on the machine. I love the ‘How to’ videos and your super calm approach to all problems. Be blessed as you are definitely blessing people by sharing your skills.

[@jayjudd6518]

This was a great wiring experience. I thought you did a great job I looked like a spaghetti factory to me. I don’t know how you do it. Nice to see your wife enjoying for a change the ride.. 😊😊😊😊

[@mikehudgens7007]

Nice video - cool little machine - nice to see your wife cruising the yard on one of your projects !!!

[@jl4091]

At least no one will tell you that you over paid.

[@MitchDaRealist]

😂

[@chrisharriman9017]

No ppl will say he should have paid you to take it lol

[@RC-fu6hg]

Her smile and the need for speed says it all. 😎 👍 what a great find!!

[@marctorigiani4558]

That was really cool watching your wife ride the little 200 she looks like she really enjoyed it

[@dmflyer]

Love watching you chase the electrical as a retired GM factory Mechanic at the Acadia - traverse - Buick plant in michigan electrical was my favorite thing to chase I like the way you methodically chase and troubleshoot great work Joe !! I use to change engines and trannys also but the electrical is what I enjoyed most. I would tell people the nuts and bolt stuff is easy the electrical tests your brain and problem solving skills . Another great video nice find.

[@Dirt_Serpent]

I got 2 old motorcycles for free this weekend, clean titles and all. One is a 1983 Yamaha mx100, needs work but I put gas in and it’s running and riding. The other I have a little bit of work to do, 1973 Honda st90. Both are totally original. The 90 I’m suspecting just needs a carb rebuild, fuel lines and a battery.

[@waffalobill]

Fre÷ is in my price range. I don't get these ppl that never do a oil change. Another rare appearance from Mrs. Vintage. Hi Jada. Little practice you'll be racing around in no time.

[@bannzai]

Are you going to keep it for the Mrs? She looked so happy on it. Love, health and respect from Steve in Scotland.

[@leeberry3155]

Great little quad,worth keeping for the Mrs ,get a little plow,and pull trailer ,its been riden ,but not abused,the engine runs fantastic,thats how you know its not been hammered,Great find,and fix😎

[@kenjohnson5498]

The mechanical side of wrenching on bikes is fine for me, but the electrical systems are a million miles away from my abilities. It's nice watching someone who explains what they are doing in complete detail.

[@imds123]

Nothing worse than chasing electrical gremlins. Great Job!

[@kochykoo]

Well Joe just goes to show when you do good things you get good things in return. You gave away that bike which paid the way for good positive vibes and you got one in return 😉😉😉

[@MrNipper7272]

Your patience is amazing you did great for free!!

[@murk1352]

Definitely a cool little score & a cool bike for your wife. Cool bike for her & you on something else on a snowy night….👍🏻

[@TimSaundersC4]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching you diagnose the issues. As the saying goes, One man's junk is another man's treasure!

[@colinaitken9046]

What a little gem, about time you got a lucky break, nice one Joe, nice money for the next project

[@wallyklw5]

Dude called and wants his machine back!

[@michi_danksta]

The dude must have more money than sense.

[@thebigguy8306]

Nice looking little quad. Great diagnoses and quick fixer-upper. Thanks for the learning/teaching moments. Hoping you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and hoping 2Vinny got extra portions

[@Dan-x7r]

I'm running late bro I gotta get to work but I got to see this thing run first . Have a great Christmas bro to you and yours .

[@tomiseppanen5444]

[@GregoryBenn]

Big Question - When are you building a barn? You really need a shop that can store everything and gives you the space.

[@philhunt9297]

19:14 (I'm no 2vintage or mechanic [although I did C&G repair and servicing of motor vehicles 30+ years ago but never did anything much with it) - I'll also add I paused the video [so don't know the outcome] but what I spotted was the voltage change when 'brake button' pressed earlier and I'd guess the reason it's not turning over [with current setup] is because the button needs to be pressed also. I suppose some will rip me a new one for jumping the gun...this comment isn't about criticism but maybe just testing my thought process.

[@Ajaxaxxess]

PO was more than likely "trouble shooting" with out a DMM.

[@joemomma9177]

What the hell does that mean?

[@Ajaxaxxess]

@@joemomma9177 PO = Previous Owner, DMM = Digital MultiMeter. Hope that helps.

[@MecanicaTehnica]

Bro finds the best offers ever

[@charlesshort4287]

Your wife needs some riding gloves, She's a great sport when it comes time that she can be in the spot light,

[@navigatorx1013]

Is that Honda 2 wheeler for sale? The VOM is your bestest buddy when dealing with 'tricity issues.

[@jeffferguson899]

A rare minty Jade appearance

[@BretMcIntire]

I’m surprised you couldn’t get an accurate pressure reading with just your finger in the spark plug hole. LOL

[@PoooShooo]

just in time joe

[@richgwozdz8580]

I see exactly what the previous owner was trying to do with the bypassed wires he was trying to bypass the neutral safety switch and brake switch thinking that it would start

[@ar2043]

10 minute club!!!!

[@shadow7796]

About how much would one like that sell for, Joe? Factoring in what work you had to do. I know they go for different prices in different areas, but it would be interesting to know how much you might get for it, if or when you sell it.

[@GARYPETERSON-t9u]

That's way if you don't know you are doing better not start messing with it. Fresh gas and oil with some SEAFOAM in it and should be good. SEAFOAM will keep gas from going bad.

[@abdulwakeel5598]

What do you do with all these bikes? I know you have over 100 bikes

[@andrewenglish3810]

Your wife just needs a helmet and gloves :)

[@njb7209]

[@MrCelticatheart]

[@KD2HJP]

Snow flurries!

[@JandSChainsaw]

Hard to beat frer 😁 i build chainsaws generaly aim for 185 to 200 psi 35cc up

[@TaylorNottz]

Do you show the previous owners their bikes running?

[@noneofyourbusiness1683]

Just 5 more minutes your wife would have been riding some wheelies.
