Seller Said This ATV Won't Go Past 30 MPH SO I Got It For CHEAP

[@jayjudd6518]

Congratulations a seller that didn’t lie. Your skills came into play on this one. I like the mystery aspect as you did each step of the diagnosis. 😊😊

I bought 2 of the 750s for my grandsons to ride and camp on our ranch, and they love them!! They have been ultra reliable and performed really well. Great videos and mad skills, young man!!

[@dhooter]

The pull start is the main reason I bought the Brute. Almost every other manufacturers abandoned them. And after I shot a deer way way into the mountains of Tennessee went to start it and click click. Thank God I didn't have to stay over night lol

[@smokesandalloy9487]

Since the cam timing was off on that cyl, may have to recheck the valve clearance, since the cams were out of phase at TDC. And compression may also be a little better with that fixed? Glad that it's running much better, and great troubleshooting!

[@KenFullman]

I doubt they'll be affected. The valves are checked with the piston at TDC on the compression stroke. Both valves will be completely closed for at least 90 degrees before and after that, so one tooth of offset in the camshaft won't show any difference in the clearance.

I was thinking the same thing but I’m no expert.

Good machine . I bought a Kawasaki Teryx 750 that was running really rough. Turns out one of the breather hoses was plugged with a spiders nest not allowing the vacuum activated slide valve to open fully on one cylinder . Simple fix but took several hours to figure out !

It’s the switch for the belt you have to reset it I had same one in my shop

[@vadimkargin3200]

I have a '06 prairie. Was doing the same thing. Belt light was on. Had to reset it. Worked great after.

[@TexasRedneck]

how'd you reset it? Just disconnect the batter for a few minutes then hook it back up?

[@vadimkargin3200]

@TexasRedneck there are 2 plugs on the right side under the tank. I believe 1white and 1grey. You have to flip the connectors, white to grey a and white to grey. It plugs right in. After that turn the ignition on and wait few seconds. Should be all good after that. Plug the connectors back In the right order. Its been about 2 years since I did it. I might be forgetting the sequence ignition on or off. There is a video about it on KZbin. That is how I found out initially. Good luck.

[@AlAmantea]

Hey Joe, during your test drive in the yard of the Kawasaki, it sounds like there was a driveline whine, especially on deceleration. Best check the bearings or the joints in the driveline. With what has been neglected on that machine, I would bet the trans or the diffs may be low on or out of oil! Great job on this one for sure.

[@Infamouscoma885]

I’m 6 months Kay but that’s how every big hire atv or at least every Kawasaki sounds. Have a 2017 and had a 07 all whine. It’s the sound of the engine break I’m pretty sure but if it isn’t it’s still normal.

that's the engine brake system kawasaki used on the brute force.

[@TheBigShow902]

i owned a 2010 650i Brute, awesome machine, would pull anyone out that I was riding with that managed to get stuck, loads of power. I had a similar issue before that involved a valve adjustment and worn rings. After a top end rebuild., the issues ended up being a defective reverse limit switch "weird" but the person I sold it to a few years later is still using it to this day and loves it, they are way more dependable than the 750s

[@RodBathurst]

got a 2001 prairie 650 i got for $300 not running a year ago. went through the whole thing. those carbs are a pain to rebuild. only 80 hrs on the engine. everything you could imagine was stuck. don"t know how long it sat. primary clutch was the worst. very little money but a lot of hours later it runs like a raped ape and starts right up. watching your vids reminds me of what i went through. keep up the great content. even this 72 year old man has learned a few things from you.

2002 was the first year for the 650 v-twin, I bought one brand new.

[@tomlambert3186]

I have a 02 prarie 650, 4300 runs ok, may need carb work, watching your channel is very helpful for us backyard mechanics. I also rebuilt a 94 kawasaki bayou 300 4x4 last year, new clutch pacs, new jug and piston. I had a local ATV shop rebuild the head. Runs great, but smoking at startup then lessons after warm up

Another thing that can cause that is worn out valve stem guide seals. It can cause carburetor slide floating when you throttle it up to.

I'd say that would be the case if he didn't swap carbs and the issue followed the carb.

when the thing would only go so fast my first thought was crack in a slide diaphram. then watching slide bounce while running i thought tight intake valve. but i certainly did not expect loose rockers! and with such low miles a ring problem. this thing was flush with problems. hopefully the rear cylinder comes around with some run time. good job working issues out!

[@imleetsometimes]

Nice ATV, should be a quick flip! I thought of you and your great troubleshooting methods while watching another video. The guy was troubleshooting a chainsaw that was bogging down. Long story short, he ended up using a adjustable ignition system coil tester to verify the spark he did have was very weak. I'm not sure if you have one (haven't seen you use it) but it's a great way to test your coil strength as you can adjust the gap to pretty much whatever you want. Just because you have spark doesn't mean that it's good spark! It's definitely something I'm going to add to my toolbox.

[@sandmanbub]

If you have trouble locating the source of a coolant leak in the future, try wiping it dry and use a black light (UV) to see where the coolant seeps out while it's running. I've never needed the fluorescent dye for this. The antifreeze fluoresces just fine by it's self. I hope I can pass a few little things along before my time on this rock is up. Older mechanics have a treasure-trove of tips time saving information.

Hi Joe, Great video's. I have a 93 Kawasaki Bayou 300. Engine runs great. Well taken care of. Shifting is a different story. I watched many videos on how to adjust the clutch's. That's not it. I can shift into first and sometimes second but than I cant shift back down to first or neutral. If I turn the reverse knob than I can down shift but will go right into reverse. I'm not afraid to open the case but I don't want to do it for nothing. Like I said the engine is strong. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Something to keep in mind is that this engine is almost exactly the same as the teryx you worked on last year.
