No KZbinr I follow is as humble and real as you. Much respect and hope you stay like that forever brother

[@fsuraider]

FYI Joe when it comes to the small rubber gaskets like that all-purpose grease always works to hold them in place. Great job on getting it running back to normal.

[@2vintage]

Yep that's what I ended up having to do.

[@Bri-tg6xr]

I used some old Vaseline to do that kind of stuff, screw, gaskets, orings etc.

[@nickolasvaughn667]

Any grease magic lube from the pool store works best us it every day

[@xtr3m3fLx]

Use a plumbers grease, it won't eat the rubber.

[@hadenandrew7459]

Dielectric grease also. Pretty much anything to create a “suction” between the gasket and the metal. Just make sure it won’t eat the gasket.

[@mrmoparrr]

Someone suggested you check that Mid Body on Carb before you Swapped out a perfectly good Stator ‘. Glad you gave him credit 👍🏻

[@mrmoparrr]

I guess I should of watched entire video before commenting! I have bought a few really nice bikes off guys that miss these on the Kehins metering blocks . Cures that hard to tune out Sputtering that causes guys too throw tools!

[@2SevenOutdoors]

You better send that boy some swag. He knew all along. Hats off to you.

[@callmecardo916]

Love your videos man your a really good mechanic when it come to finding out the problems I can't get enough of your videos and am always looking forward for the next one Keep up the good content👍🏼👍🏼

[@bagbrothers7787]

I had this problem early on when I had the HRC kit installed on my 06. I've never seen the mid body apart but I will be doing this when I put a top end on, thanks.

[@danielparsons3995]

I talked to the vox reason about it and I really like his comments he's super nice and he was spot on with the fix great job vox!!!

[@eddiel5189]

Nice work going thru all your options and paying attention to the comments till you figured it out. You never stop learning new things. I have not heard of this problem and I was one who thought it was electrical related. It's good knowledge to have. Thanks for the videos on this and all your projects.

[@upperroomtoo]

You had a lot a great comments on the first video about the middle gaskets being a problem. Glad you found it!

[@joemusicman64]

Glad you got it sorted. Thanks to that Vox subscriber and anyone else that suggested the midbody gaskets.

[@craigkrage2689]

I did something similar with my yfz. Now when I clean a carb I tear it completely down. Cheaper than a piston. :-) Glad its figured out.

[@zeonk1405]

Always a good day when you see that 2vintage posted

[@rorannerusan]

Hi joe glad you finally went through the mid body of the carb. Now you have fully gone through the carb from top to bottom. Something people forget to do sometimes.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I was complaining about these 4 runners not moving, well I take that back. This stupid thing flys. What a fix, YOU DID IT. This thing flys.

[@Muddjones]

Nice job you eradicated the gremlins

[@craigmorgan4676]

Love it Joe,glad u sorted the bogging!Must fly now without it bogging!👊👍💪👊💪

[@michaelbrinks8089]

2 crazy problems I had with an old Chevy Z24 was #1 little bugs had somehow got into the fuel injection rail when the previous owner or mechanic left the car apart probably outside in summer time overnight. I think the shop light attracted bugs that decided to hide in the fuel rail. He put car back together, the gasoline gradually hardened the bugs (little beetle like bugs) so they started floating around like corks, randomly/intermittently clogging the injectors causing the car to die. After a few hours the car would start right up & run fine for a few hours or days before getting clogged again. No one could find the problem so the car ended up at a small used car lot. I bought it for cheap, not knowing it had issues coz it ran fine on test drive. I went crazy trying to find the problem. By random dumb luck I discovered the bugs in the fuel rail. It literally needed the bugs worked out. #2 A blown blade fuse that even under a magnifying glass didn't appear to be blown. I went nuts trying to find the problem.Then more random dumb luck, I tried replacing the fuse just to see what would happen.

[@slimsqde7397]

I hate problems like that, that are so confusing and hard to diagnose, glad you got it figured out haha

[@novarocker247]

This is why I watch. I learn something all the time.

[@briancrull8678]

Excellent diagnosis in the end !!!

[@kevinarmstrong7469]

Love your videos! I like the fact you go over hunting quads and race/every day quads. Really helpful seeing the steps of diagnosing a quad. Keep it up thanks again.

[@peteraitken6494]

Brilliant job joe runs great now thanks for not giving up absolute crazy when you think that a gasket could almost make it sound as it was electrical thanks for sharing mate all the best to you and your family and the dogs 🔧🔧🔧👌👍

[@sandmanbub]

Any time the engine bogs before revving up when the throttle is quickly opened wide from the idle position, it is almost always a problem transitioning from the primary jet to the main jet. The primary jet in usually the culprit, right behind a poorly adjusted fuel screw (4 strokes) or air screw (2 strokes). That mid body carb problem caused the same fuel transitioning symptom. Glad you found the problem. I never knew there was a mid body in that carb. Not 'till you showed it here. Thanks for another informative and entertaining video Joe.

[@nimwit0]

Me and various commenters have told him since video one that ot was in the mid body and guess what he just threw every part at it he could instead of just fucking listening.

[@Davidsmithisyourdad]

Hang on so you telling me we should proper diagnose things and not just throw parts at it tell it's fix.

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

Wow Joe I am so glad that you paid attention to your commenters, congratulations on the fix. You would think no one would ever build a carburetor with stuff like that in it but then again I guess that's why it performs the way it does. I know I had some weird gaskets and some of my carburetors and I sprayed one side mildly with some copper coat just to hold them in place work great. The only thing you can say about that 450 is she's a ripper!

[@gf301]

Cool,who doesn't like a happy ending! I love watching all the detective work that goes into all these videos, always very well filmed and explained. This channel has rapidly become one of my absolute favourites, never seen a bad video yet. See you in the next one!

[@2vintage]

Thanks for watching!

[@fromex2lsturbo]

My lt250r ran weird and the jet block o-ring gasket was the culprit! Tried telling you that on previous video you did on the lt250r you had. Glad you figured it out! Crazy how intricate and one stupid misaligned gasket can cause so much hassle!

[@dmo848]

So happy i get after watching u. I bet you feel even better getting this beast in order. So cool man. Keep up the videos. I learn allot

[@renemaz]

Good job bud....love the videos....have learned alot from them. Watching from Canada 👊✊💨

[@lawrence1986ify]

i wouldn't mind a Video of you loading up and going to an ORV part or even riding on some state land with friends or family.

[@danwhite8502]

Need to take some readings off that stator.

[@imtonedeaf1]

This great your showing the fix your slowly becoming as great as mustie1 keep up the amazing videos

[@SASQUATCH205]

This video had thinking my mid-body carb o-rings should be checked out. My 2003 YZ450F was running erratically. Sure enough, the o-rings turned to Silly Puddy due to sitting. After a good cleaning and carb rebuild kit, I set everything back to stock. Bike runs great now. Thanks

[@tayloratwell4205]

Nice Joe... I know a lot of us were saying mid body carb issue previously. Hopefully you put back in that OEM Honda stator and pickup and sent that Chinese one back! 👍

[@MichiganQuadTrailsTales]

Glad to see that you have it Fixed! Takes A Big Man to Show His Mistakes! Looking forward to more Videos.

[@pappitsch]

your vids are just great. No bragging like others just the facts and thought patterns. You don't even blame others for their poor work you deserve to be successful as i do not hear anything other than positive vibes.

[@2vintage]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate the positive feedback!

[@clintferguson8328]

love old bikes always learn something when watching thanks for great videos

[@brandonfoley8070]

You learn something new everyday, thanks for the tips

[@derekwilkinson7939]

Due to some fantastic comments you got there in the end and gained a bit more knowledge, always good to learn, well done Joe. 👍

[@Jimsalos]

Excellent work as always! Congrats on getting it fixed

[@2vintageDeamonFan]

Always get excited when joe posts a video

[@82Beatz]

Joe... Lets be honest ...you don't even like the 450....so I can take it off your hands for you😊 Great vid bud! glad to see it ripping!

[@riley_swan]

A subscriber dropped it off

[@kernelbadness]

He's back!

[@MPDano]

Good job. I've done that mid body carb rebuild before, not easy and pretty sure I didn't do it right as my wr450 still ran bad. In hindsight, I would take as much time as needed to verify the install.

[@stevieb1367]

Your skills are getting better and better! Perfect job man. I'm repairing tv's and it's always like a christmas present (suprise). You never really know what you get, when you buy a broken one with little problems! Analizing, fixing and selling them for double or tripple. Sure, sometimes it costs alot of time and nervs, but it's still fun and very nice money and the best is i've still got clean fingers :-) Greetings from Germany buddy! God already blessed you!

[@dmo848]

Trying to fix an Amazon fire tv that went black on me. I seen it's just 1 dumb dead led bulb that went which causes the entire strip to go dead. That's bs

[@wilfor03]

Excellent stick-to-it problem and solving the dilema....way to go!!

[@baisleyde]

Before replacing any electrical part they can be tested with a multimeter. All the specs are always in the service manual

[@powersportbrothers6609]

I remember I replaced the mid body gasket on a Keihin fcr carb for an ltz400 and I accidentally pinch mid body gasket and the quad would run like crap. I bought an eBay mid body gasket and they never fit perfect. I had to put mine in the freezer for a little then use grease to hold the gasket. But it was still a pain to get in

[@jasonspellicy]

NICE JOB BRO! She looks pretty quick too. Hoping to see another KTM bike or DS 650 for you to repair. Keep up the great work.

[@DJJDSKREWED]

My 05 was doing this glad you got it figured out !!! cant wait to get back into tinkering with toys!

[@j-beatsimaginationstudio1987]

THAT IS THE EDUMBEST CARB DESIGN IVE EVER SEEN. CRAP! Great video again tho my friend, be safe :)

[@amomatsetela6566]

🤣We will never give up on you! Learnt a lot, thanks! If possible, can you do another project on an LTZ 400?

[@markbrynteson5141]

Excellent job! Take that stator out and send it back for refund! 😂 I absolutely love this channel, I am a mechanic for a local cable pulling company and I work on a lot of specialized equipment. But I buy old bikes and fix them and sell in my spare time and the way you do your videos are perfect for someone learning or looking to improve their skills. I just want to say Thank You Sir

[@0ptimal]

Nice. Looks fun. I haven't ridden anything funner than a lawnmower in years.

[@johnbanghart1616]

Your getting dam good at this joe keep up the good work

[@rgarizonahomestead2729]

i have to say that you are very skilled at what you do on these quads thanks for taking the time to show us how to or what to look for related to quads. i am sure the owner is going to be very happy to have his quad up and running. take care and have a great day

[@user-tg7mi3yc2g]

I use super glue or electric grease to hold them in place , I’m so glad you cracked it open !!!! I’ve done a lot of these over the years !!! That’s why I wondered if you fixed it , I go I hope he cracked it open ! When you changed pilot. And it changed idle. That tell you right there ! And only use oem , I’ve had aftermarket fail

[@RiderJon-offical]

Nicely done. Keep it up!

[@James79561]

Another perfect example of what happens when someone does not know what they are doing . Great find and good job JOE ! Just a spot of krazy glue will hold all those gaskets in place nicely .

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

Crazy glue? Lmfao. After you just got done talking about someone not knowing what they are doing? Tell me. Why do service manuals tell you to tap a case cover with a rubber mallet to/before you remove it?

[@Nighthawk1966]

Great job Joe !!

[@nicktasker4287]

I was stumped But you are putting it out there for us 👍

[@endurobrothers7786]

Sometimes it pays to listen to other people the one subscriber said it was a carb issues and I'm not a wheeler guy but carbs are finicky on all gas powered engines .i learn new things every day .

[@eugeneemerick4359]

Glad you found the problem

[@antoniomancini4894]

I knew you would figure it out great Channel running great

[@martintaylor984]

Use a touch of grease to hold the orings in place while you assemble

Well done one happy man you know what to look out for next time to check..

Haven't ran into a carb like that, I mostly try to work on old school stuff though lol. Glad you found the fix, will have to remember that incase I get something newer in the shop!

[@brookematthews8204]

Smear some grease on the o rings/seals when fitting ones that are likely to move as it holds them in place, makes it alot easier.

[@cwhitmer762]

Hey man love the videos I had a quick question for you I have a early 80s- late 70s Honda oddesy I let it sit a while and now the motor is locked up it wasn't when I parked it could I use torch to heat up rings and get it moving again it's like brand new. Moisture must of gotten to rings any help would be totally awesome tips and tricks

[@jamescarey9197]

You know it's fixed when you get 2 woo-hoos in the test ride 😅

[@whitey2579]

YES glad you didnt give up.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Hey Joe, ya'll need to save that old stator it is good. But the person who worked on the carb really did a number on the mid body. What a super complex thingy. Geeze.

What's a good price on a good shape 2000 fourtrax 300 4x4. And around a 2007 trx 400 in great shape. Heading to an auction and would love your opinion on what would be a good price to keep under on these. Both fire right up and purr like kittens but that's about the extent of what I know outside of them being super clean. Thank you and love your content!!

Prices can vary wildly in different parts of the country.

Good vid, thanks 😎

[@jannielsen6142]

God work man

[@Bri-tg6xr]

Could a spark tester see a bad stator or pickup and show it's cutting out? Or would it just bog and kill the spark due to lack of fuel?

[@logansmith105]

I'd definitely keep that quad those are nice I've always liked the trx's

[@drock5298]

Wish you were close to me id have you work on be cr250. I email shops near me and they dont even respond back.

[@kianschmeling3893]

Hi can you please explain me what does it mean when the oil is milky?

[@AlKoholic1972]

A little dab of grease or Vaseline will hold those orings in place while you put it back together. The most important thing though. Make sure you leave the parts filthy and all that old dirt and gunk everywhere like you like to do, they wouldn't run right if you cleaned them.
