Watch this Lakota Ripping in the snow and mud - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnacl3dvmZKdgKM Thank you for watching and now I'll get back in the garage to work on the Blaster 🤘😎 You all ROCK!

Would u restore my 1985 honda atc 350x and by the way I love the videos keep it up man

There’s a small engine repair dude (Steve’s small engine saloon) that swears by using gasoline in ziplock bags (with water in the ultrasonic). I have done this based on his advice and it worked great. No fumes and no mess and the whole part is pulled under. Thanks for the great content and cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Sounds excellent Mike. You always keep me entertained . Your videos really do keep me reeled in . And I'm always waiting to see what she said this time haha . 😄 Thank you Sabo. Now, just to wait until tomorrow's video is uploaded ...

[@jasonmilam9930]

I think the Blaster will win, the 300ex will pull on top and they will both walk the Lakota all the way around. My buddy had 2 Lakotas when we were young and they are dependable and take a beating. We sank one rode it home about 15 miles with the crankcase full of water and it just took it. He also stayed on the Rev limiter riding fludded ditches.

[@abbybonilla4511]

Great vid once again, I always look forward to your next upload. As for picking a winner wow thats tough. I actually love all four of these machines. My heart wants it to be the blaster or the trailblazer

[@tieoneon1614]

I feel like if Kawi brought this atv back {like they did with the KLX 300 models} with the racks easy to take off it would sell really good, being really cheap and sporty. A lot of guys really prefer these smaller lighter atvs that fit in back of trucks for ice fishing, hunting and its still sporty enough to trail ride. I recently bought a Brute Force 300 for that reason and it reminded me of my old Lakota and Bayou, but that motor has a lot more grunt and its mainly a Kymco.

[@lawrencestoner2678]

Awesome Video lil Bro! I am actually looking at getting a Lakota to flip right now. Watching this build is helping me understand a little about it As I have never been around a Lakota. The brake problem you have seems to me as a break down in the seals in the master cylinder but I am only taking a stab in the dark here, Please keep us updated! As usual, Bangin' AF ! I think you got the Top Quad with this one!

[@MichaelSabo]

The seals appeared to be in good shape (typically I don't re-use them, but I didn't have new ones on hand) Hopefully they build pressure but if not, I will order new seals. The task is now in the hands of @breweroffroad lol

Nice 👍

[@Frisky_FZR]

I found out that originally carb measurements were measured by slide width but after the Chinese carbs flooded the market they stupidly started measuring from the airbox side. It makes sense because enlarging the slide would surly mean more air. I think adding a few mm on the intake side wouldn’t do much as the slide is still what’s restricting air flow would only make a different at full throttle if you think about it 😂 any way damn pot metal shite

[@cranedaddy678]

Cool video man! I feel you on the front brakes. I just went through the same thing on a new to me dirt bike. I bought a rebuild kit for the master cylinder and it didn't make any difference. Spent two days on that pos and never got any brake pressure. Finally gave up and ordered a new el cheapo amazon master cylinder and they work fine now lol

[@me-pv4fn]

This is a beast. The green though nooooo 😆 great vid

[@2LegitTooQuit]

Yeah those hydrosonic machines are bomb!!! I used the simple green extreme aircraft cleaner. Works the best and isn’t caustic to the aluminum. And I’ve tried them all 😂Great content as always

[@MichaelSabo]

I'm going to have to try this; I would have thought SG would be caustic

[@2LegitTooQuit]

A lot of there products are. I learned that the hard way when the carb came out almost black. But that specific product doesnt flash the aluminum. Try it out and let me know what you think. Also a squirt of dawn with the SG works wonders.

I'm excited for next top quad. next one though u should mix the drivers like 1 good driver with one bad driver. so the teams are more even. but I also like every1 vs every1

For this one it will be individual scores unless something changes - there may be team events where we pick a partner though

Hey mike these lakotas have the same top end as the 300 bayou you should get a Mojave 250 and a 1987 Honda trx250x and put those in your quad wars shootout and do t forget the Yamaha yfm350 warrior

[@leokline3541]

Sometimes there is a pin hole in the bottom of the brake reservoir that needs to be cleaned. There might be a plastic cover over it. Clean that out and it will self bleed by rapidly tapping the front brake lever. Ran into this problem myself.

[@MichaelSabo]

Thank you for the tip man!

I'm guessing who will be riding which Machines in Top Quad. Mike on the Blaster, Pete Hager on the Lakota, Jesse Brewer on the 300EX, and Rapotor Man on the Polaris TrailBlazer. Or the Brewer Brothers have the Homda & Polaris.

[@MichaelSabo]

It will be a random draw out of the hat before each event so we will be getting different machines throughout the series

Ive heard that Pinesol furniture cleaner works well for cleaning out carbs but I dont know if I'd try it heh. I'll have to try the dish liquid soap

[@jdtv...9134]

Take the reservoir off the bar hold it with the cylinder facing up and pull the Piston out. Let it sit for about 10 minutes all the air will come to the top. Put the Piston back in the reservoir you should be okay. Also make sure there's no rust on the caliper Pistons 🙏
