Your dog had so much fun chasing you!!! Hahahahaha that was awesome.

[@ras_jokah420]

I surely enjoyed that. You should give the doggy a little around the yard

You've come a long way since you started making videos Joe. People used to put you down and say you did shit janky but I think your a beast. There's nothing that you can't fix

I’d love to see you fix as many bikes as he has. Don’t be a hater.

he did used to do hagard shit, just wd40 clean the quad and resell it :) (and dont forget the top speed test) nowdays he fixes engines and stuff he came a long way, from just flipping bikes and quads to completely rebuilding engines and fixing hard stuff i would be scared off to do...

I just started watching your videos. I like how you diagnose. I’ve been a boat mechanic for 35 years and very few guys I worked with can diagnose their way out of a wet paper bag. Hats off to you sir!!

[@arvidhilmersson1034]

great video, just a tip when soldering. you should heat the wires not the solder. the heated wires should melt the solder. that way you know you have a good connection.(sorry for possibly bad english)

[@titletownclowns1545]

The garage door has a co2 sensor that opens up the door. They've been around for a while and are a really good asset to have when you warm up your car in winter or run machines too long like I do sometimes and don't pay attention. Pops

Yea.. I was thinking the same thing.. poor ol' Joe was just doing what he does best, filming his next big conundrum.. then Mr./Mrs. Ghost says.."Don't worry, Joe.. I got your back.."

Nice work, Joe. I liked your thorough and methodical approach to fixing this one. And Vinnie is a delight -- makes me laugh!

[@Jimsalos]

Great job as always! I am also impressed with the energy your little dog has, very cute

[@jamiesawyer5102]

So funny! As I started this video I said my machine did the same thing and it was the spark plug and I go well. Maybe there's something else with this machine and then it ended up being the spark plug. Awesome video!

Turned this into a very solid KZbin channel brother congratulations on all of the success you’ve had on KZbin & hopefully my channel gets somewhere even close to the subscriber count you have to date!!

That pup is almost as fast as the bike in that space lol he can rip! The bike turned out sweet as usual.

[@kenjohnson5498]

I think you rejetted him lol

[@anthonyblacker8471]

5 minutes into this.. I'm thinking right off the bat - to me - it sounds like either a fuel / air issue or a timing issue.. definitely could be something else, but what it's doing is pointing me there. I see why he would have gone CDI, but man being a parts cannon and throwing parts at stuff is really not a great way to fix things. Diagnose, identify and resolve. I'll bet you get it figured out. You really have a wonderful channel here, I'm glad you have taken the time to turn on the camera and share your love with us!

[@heavysnow8616]

Always use Rosin core flux on electrical wiring! Plumbers flux is acid core and will corrode the wiring. Tin/lead solder is what to use. 67% tin, 33% lead. Again, no plumbing solder!

[@skydiver6711]

You never cease to amaze me. I am not a mechanic, but I have learned so very much from you. Oh, and by the way, Vinnie needs a haircut.

[@dietznutz1]

Hey Joe as a thought could you get a spark plug tested that is clear and hook the other end up the the plug while it's running and as you rev the engine you can visually observe the spark as you climb up the rpm

[@trose7620]

You wouldn't believe how many bikes I've had come in that was just a valve adjustment to fix, especially ones owners have mis adjusted. And ones owners have put new top ends on themselves. Always run factory recommended plugs. In my experience the iridium plugs just don't cut it. Great vid.

[@vettepicking]

Try getting a tube of rosin flux for your soldering, and a lead base solder. That cheap rosin core solder doesn't flow good. You will see a difference in your repairs.

[@Jboost412]

Absolutely it’s all about using the correct material in order to have a solid result…not speaking of this specific incident just in general I see some people in my shop for example that stop me & ask why it won’t flow like I show them it should or basically that it’s just balling up instead of being absorbed into the connection to end up with a solid long term result….did you try some flux ❓ uhhhh no 🤨

[@kub2132]

He’s also not soldering correctly. You put the iron on the wire and connect the the wire and iron with solder and the wire will “suck” the solder in.

[@alandohse1977]

I haven't subscribed yet, but I should have, you do great work! You have way more patience than I have. And I've been told I have alot of patience! You take on some of the most difficult jobs! I enjoy your work and will subscribe, I lke Vinney!

[@lokey1006]

You could have an air lock in the oil lines, any time I change my oil and filter, at the same time and try to ride right away, the oil tank always over fills, I have to crack the lines to the top of the head and back of crank case. If they sit same thing can happen.

[@AZVIDS]

Nice one Joe, your place looks nice too👍

Youngblood are the best I've ever seen I've been around for 77 years and you are a top mechanic I thought I was good

[@stopibeastin7196]

Love the knowledge bro thanks

[@markmartin01]

For what it's worth, that solder did not penetrate, you just stuck it to the outside of the wires. Need to heat the wires with the iron so that when you touch the solder to the wire it melts.

[@mikespain8655]

Place soldering gun tip under wire, then let the solder flow down into the wire. Just like welding, it takes practice. Anything beats wire nuts and butt connectors.

[@super6954]

I'm thinking it would of been a nice touch to put heat shrink tubing over the wires then soldered them in a straight line shrinking the tube over the repair after. It looks like he didn't even tape them in the video unless he did it after, the wire nuts at least insulated the first farmer fix repair if he didn't do it later.

[@joey-gb5md]

Yeah he don't comprehend that he's been told over and over.

[@smithscrete1]

Your patients is exemplary ...I'm tuned in

[@Bolandcustoms]

When you solder you need to hold the soldering irons tip against the wires until it is hot enough for you to feed the solder in and wick into the wires. The way iv watched you do it in multiple videos you're just creating a poor cold solder joint that will most likely fail. Other than that, good stuff as usual.

[@TheUniversalEyes]

Yep, always heat your work first, then apply solder, not the other way around.

[@ryanmccarthy2033]

Video awesome but the best part by far is the dog having a great time running around at the end

[@shartne]

Back when I was a kid in the 70s we use to keep a new plug and a spark plug wrench in the tool box under the seat. Spark plugs can go out at any time. They can get fouled and you can wire wheel them. But a lot of the time they just go dead or almost dead. like the one with yellow spark. Very common reason bikes will not spark. You got that baby fine tuned. 660 woowee! You should race that guy. LOL It pretty quick though.

[@its_evers6445]

so many people crying about the solder lol awesome video man! it was funny watching the doggo chase you around the yard haha

[@crisneufeld2]

I had a bad cdi box that acted like that idle all day but wouldn't rev up

[@alexcrafter_]

You doing the valves reminds me of when i did my ktm's a few months ago, my ktm had its first valve adjustment in 19 years it did. Runs better now. Intake valves were way too tight no slack at all and it was loosing alot of compression.

Ahh you know no matter how good someone is at they’re particular trade there’s always going to be someone watching saying “he sucks” or I can do it better…except they forget nothing is as easy as it looks we make videos to help people solve they’re issues or like so to document an issue/issues we have so someone with a similar issue can make a repair or be pointed in the right direction for a issue they have…but you’ll still always have that 1 person who hates on your work 🤦‍♂️

[@joey-gb5md]

you're telling me nobody could change a spark plug and you're the only person 🤣 .

Also a sensor and a switch are totally two different things! A sensor changes ohms where a switch is on or off...

Knew it wss a spark issue..good freakin job Joe !! 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TanManFixes]

when i saw that plug it looked wayyyyy too fried. picky motors that need high dollar plugs ! good thing you fixed the other issues tho, I think it was a combo, bad plug, probably bad fuel, valves way off, and wrong jets. great video and diag !!

its a good day when u post joe.

[@JohnnieBravo1]

Yeah, having a Warrior, first time you fired that thing up I thought to myself that sounds a lot like that parking brake circuit messing up. I've fought that battle before too. All those other issues likely just made it worse. Awesome job again. I really look forward to these videos. When are you going to start doing Miata's ?? (evil grin.... I just got a basket case NB in my garage to try and reassemble with my son, and these "how to" videos are an enormous help)

[@mcorley187]

I put a rock in my sensor to hold the button down. The person I bought it from didn’t know how to fix it or what it was. Turned out that the switch was activating when it shouldn’t have.

[@2vintageDeamonFan]

Great video as always joe

[@rukamukus]

Intake carb boots are a few millimeters too short on O.E.M boots, and they keep popping off. But you can buy aftermarket boots from UPP that fit much better and won’t pop off. And the grinding, (some say whining) when you go to start it is the starter clutch. Raptor 660’s are well known for this. Best to put a one way starter clutch.

[@jayjudd6518]

Pro tip... When you solder you dont heat it on the tip of solder gun and paint it on you suppose to put the heat on the opposite side and put the solder on the cold side and let it run to the heat.

Check the stator.& Pick up coil to tom. It's must likely halfway fired out to. Yes that one way bearing could be sherd off witch means the timing is off A course to. Along with hooking up the electrical wiring to something different l.,or to eliminate something to will affect the wiring harness.& Charging system on them to.
