The Honda TRX450 Is FIXED! Bogging Mystery Solved

[@marte1a256]

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.

[@novarocker247]

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

[@2SevenOutdoors]

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

[@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!!!

[@joemusicman64]

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

[@upperroomtoo]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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👍🏼👍🏼

[@briancrull8678]

Excellent diagnosis in the end !!!

[@eugeneemerick4359]

Glad you found the problem

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@craigmorgan4676]

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

[@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!

[@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! 👍

[@imtonedeaf1]

[@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

[@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

[@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 🔧🔧🔧👌👍

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@0ptimal]

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

[@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.

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

[@larrywarner9314]

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 .

[@AaronMorgan-g9h]

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

[@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. 👍

[@wilfor03]

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

[@amomatsetela6566]

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

[@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.

[@DJJDSKREWED]

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

[@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.

[@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

I like that you stayed with this until it was finally fixed. The videos will probably continue to help other people for years to come.

[@nicktasker4287]

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

[@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?

What's a good price on a good shape 2000 fourtrax 300 4x4. And around a 2007 trx 400 in great shape.
