Tuk Tuk STUCK at Altitude! 🛺

[@naushadnizamudien3449]

Great adventure. Sir, your carburetor capillaries and passages might be clogged due adulterated fuel. Open an clean it properly. What you changed is the main fuel jet ( the brass screw with a hole ) what it screws into is an atomiser, there are tiny air passages around it which could be clogged. There is another circuit in the carburetor for idle and slow speed ( that you adjust through the recessed screw from outside) that also can get clogged. You tube a bit for more info. Contact the manufacturer service in India, they could help you. Running without air filter will kill your engine very soon. These vehicles run in himalayas with ease. So high aptitude is not the problem.

[@aussieespanol]

Absolutely. Will do mate. Solid advice cheers

[@ThePanamericandisaster]

​​@aussieespanol maybe just an add on if you could find a screen, mesh or maybe even a bit of thin t-shirt with an elastic Band, or a very tight Zip tie or something. There is alot of suction there so you must make sure whatever you put there is not going to get sucked in. Anything to stop larger stuff, if you get a small stone in there its all over. Running with no filter will have you doing a Rebuild very soon. Love everything, good luck.

[@ziyadsalman9357]

i’ve been watching every episode of this and i love it! Keep up the great work i need videos of this everyday!!

[@aussieespanol]

The support means so much! New video out in a few hours 🙌🏼

[@WRRudy]

Love your vids. Definitely look forward to your content every week. As a 1st time dog owner, Patty is very well behaved and certainly bonded with you. I would advise that you work on a few commands such as Come or Stay. You want to be able to call her back to you immediately if you or her get into trouble. Also, you dont want her to chase an animal and get into trouble. You need her to obey the come when you ask and stop running and stand still when you need her. I'd suggest spending some time with positive reinforcement every evening for a while. Keep it up.

[@aussieespanol]

Legend!! Thanks so much for the support 🙌🏼 love the tips. I’ll definitely utilise them 🐶🙏🏼

[@nayomtur]

Just enjoying the nice views and your good vibes :)

[@aussieespanol]

That’s exactly what Patti and I are about too 🙌🏼

[@arthurtourret1214]

Thanks for uploading again you’re doing great! I’m here from the start of the Tuk tuk love your content man!

[@aussieespanol]

Cheers legend

[@isabelmendi3973]

It’s so nice to see, how well you care for Patti, I hope you keep warm and safe.

[@aussieespanol]

Only giving her the life she deserves 🙌🏼

[@fjlthycruisertouringaustralia]

G'day Mate Another great video Completely removing the air filter is a big no-no Dust in the engine will wear out the piston, rings, and bore prematurely and destroy the engine I'd be fitting a new clean filter or finding out if there's a high flow option Then, look at where the air enters to reach the filter and increase the size of the opening to allow as much air as possible to the filter It sounds like you still don't have the carburettor set up correctly for the altertude Anyway, safe travels Keep up the great videos Cheers buddy

[@aussieespanol]

Yeah it’s all a bit of a mess back there for sure. Other mechanics told me I should at least have a dish sponge if I don’t have the air filter. The air filter I was using was brand new 😢 tuk Tuks just shouldn’t be where I am I think 😅

[@fjlthycruisertouringaustralia]

I'd hate to see you stranded somewhere remote because the engine fails prematurely due to running no air filter I'd definitely be looking for a better option If there's an inclosed air box that the filter sits in, cut an entire wall out of the side that the air enters to get as much air flow as possible to the filter

[@aussieespanol]

@@fjlthycruisertouringaustraliaFor sure! I need to find a better solution asap

[@Ramz0247]

What a legend! I can't wait to see how your journey unfolds!

[@aussieespanol]

It’s surely won’t disappoint

[@srikanths4912]

I love the vast expanse of open landscape in Bolivia. It's truly adventurous in a Tuk Tuk with a dog and alone. I truly appreciate your courage and attitude. Looking forward to more interesting vlogs. Thanks and best wishes.

[@MrRedchicks]

Love the videos bro!

[@aussieespanol]

Cheers legend

[@LPTobey]

Coming over from insta. What a legend you are :D. Safe travels to the both of you!

[@aussieespanol]

Legend!! Thanks so much for the support 🙌🏼

[@juanpablopena7913]

Hey I don´t know why but I love your videos. I have been watching every single one of them. I really love this

[@xanders8x]

I'm glad Tori finally got some more air and you took the air filter completely off. I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming! Watchout for the cold weather. Don't cheap out on camping equipment in this kind of weather.

[@aussieespanol]

Yeah I’m really happy we’re back on the road. Unfortunately it’s the region that I’m in that has a lack of accessibility to quality camp gear but it’s on my list of things to get as soon as we’re in an established city

[@Husapalooza]

Safe travels man.

[@aussieespanol]

Cheers legend

[@ThatGirlAmanda2525]

The craziest journey out there. Thank you for sharing I have loved following along with your journey, I have even shared this channel with family. Is Patti getting some booties for the colder weather

[@aussieespanol]

We’ve just bought some in the last city we were in. We’ll probables have to use them this week 🙌🏼

[@greystripe3737]

another amazing video. you are the reason I am planning a road trip this fall. keep up the great videos!

[@aussieespanol]

That means so much. Cant lie I have the biggest smile right now

[@mattball3118]

I know this would be a big undertaking but you should consider turning this into a multiple feature lengths for travel film festivals. It could help with funding, equipment, fixers, etc. All of which will probably be needed for your Darien crossing.

[@eopo]

Just can’t wait for the algorithm to finally pick one of these amazing videos up and for more people to enjoy this journey! Maybe you should try playing around with more clickbaity titles? Haha

[@aussieespanol]

It’s gonna happen 🙌🏼 reply with a title idea if you’ve got any aha 😉

[@eopo]

@@aussieespanol definitely gonna happen, people are missing out!! haha I am not that much in the youtube game, but will do

[@becmccoll]

Love all the videos and totally agree that seeing the small communities and the non-touristy areas is the best part of travel! I'd love to do a bit of travelling like this in future (probably not in a tuk tuk though 😂) Keep up the great work!

[@aussieespanol]

Fantasticcc!! Yeah it’s truly amazing

[@henokhabtamu6351]

Keep up the good work 💪

[@aussieespanol]

Absolutely we will 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Bmac26]

Loved the alpacas, Ryan - Bolivian roos??!! People so helpful and friendly. Super impressed with your Spanish, amigo!

[@aussieespanol]

Thanks for the support legend!!

[@comment2507]

Patti playing with a coyote 😂

[@bobbybyrd7198]

Breaks my heart just a little that patti makes some pup friends at each stop but has to leave them the next morning:(

[@robbaskerville253]

My Saturday morning tuk tuk fix!😊

[@aussieespanol]

You know it!! Cheers for always supporting the vids mate

[@lextvr9880]

You are legend!! Keep going! All the best in your journey!

[@aussieespanol]

Thanks so much for the support mate 🙌🏼

[@Bennett_Hennessey]

Fun to follow your adventure. Get ready, we are going to be hit with a cold front around Tuesday, 10C drop in temperature.

[@aussieespanol]

Ooo how fun 😂

[@sergiorodriguez747]

Mucjo amor desde puerto rico! Me encantan todos tus videos y espero que termines tu aventura completa:)

[@aussieespanol]

Graciasss. Me aprecio mucho

[@David_Blong]

Thanks from a aussie your awesome dude

[@aussieespanol]

WOW WOW WOW!!! Thank you so flippin much mate. That support goes such a long way over here. Helps to keep Patti fed with only the best quality stuff here. Cheer ya Legend!!

[@matthewmaciosek6815]

Awesome vid! It would be cool if you could show us more of the local wildlife. Keep up the great work!

[@aussieespanol]

Absolutely! I’ll keep you in mind for my future filming

[@emiliolopez9987]

Great vid like always ❤

[@aussieespanol]

Appreciate that mate 🙌🏼

[@arthurtourret1214]

Amazing attitude all about it! Maybe do some hikes to waterfalls

[@aussieespanol]

Keen as for more waterfalls! You saw that one waterfall a couple of vids back right?

[@patrickcrazyplay234]

Hi I love your journey

[@aussieespanol]

Cheers legend 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ryankarlsen4588]

When you're in Canada try the Banff to Jasper highway. It might be further inland than you want, depends if you want to stay close to the coast, but it has some of the best views in the country. Although the same could be said for most of western Canada, you can't really go wrong. Especially if you are more of the nature type. Good luck my man. Cute dog

[@aussieespanol]

Sounds fantastic!! I’ll really try to get there

[@mariuuu5474]

Just did the Uyuni-Potosi route yesterday, was indeed very beautiful. Keep up with the good videos mate!

[@aussieespanol]

The road is epic. I can’t wait to see the Salar 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@wrencharoundandfindout8780]

I wonder if you can install a 12v fan to pump hot air from the engine compartment into the cab. Along as the exhaust is safely routed out the back of the tuk tuk it's commonly done on like polaris side by sides like the rzr

[@aussieespanol]

That could absolutely be the go 🙌🏼

[@Ghettochappy]

Theres a lot of unhealthy fumes from a carburated engine so not a good idea

[@jonfriktion07]

Another on the road video!

[@aussieespanol]

You know it! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@all_life_commercial]

I hope you make it to Alaska 😊 I will watch your journey to support you. Keep on going 🛺🐕‍🦺🧒🏼

[@aussieespanol]

It means so much!! Thank you Legend

[@Twobeers1]

I think you need to splurge on a better quality carburetor that has more adjustable features regarding air/fuel adjustability. Maybe even a turbocharger, yes there are turbochargers for small engines. I would suggest you look into getting a heater installed (like a radiator) in the cab. Winter is coming & it does get cold.

[@naushadnizamudien3449]

That vehicle use keihin carburetor which is very tunable. I think the two atomisers in to the two jets screws into are clogged up. These tuktuks run easily in himalayan mountain region with ease, so altitude may not be the only issue.

[@aussieespanol]

That could be the go

[@aussieespanol]

🛺💨

[@Ghettochappy]

An injection engine would have made your life so much easier 😊 Top content legend

[@aussieespanol]

You’re not wrong yeah 😂 next time aha

[@kaptein1247]

Id highly suggest you opt for something like a powerfilter. You wont make it to alaska without multiple rebuilds when running this much without filter

[@aussieespanol]

Yeah that’s absolutely be the go

[@nofameculture]

Your a cool guy but Patti is amazing 😂

[@aussieespanol]

Completely agree 😂😂

[@silasluas4756]

In uyuni u should check out the cementerio de trenes. ✌️

[@aussieespanol]

Sounds epic!!

[@Erwin70000]

No air filter is a receipe for disaster!

[@aussieespanol]

You’re completely right 😂

[@goinggiddy]

im wondering how you could hold a gopro with your right hand and holding the throttle at the same time

[@aussieespanol]

Yeah I drive with my left on the right stick 😂 just find it’s more comfy then filming with the left

[@goinggiddy]

drive safe my friend

[@gringhidu]

You asked for feedback: I dig your videos and your positive vibes, but you have to work on your production. Its a bit "stale" sometimes, It would be cool if you would put in some more transition shots, some music, and maybe sometimes just some nature/drivingshots where you don't talk. I just think it would add a bit more of a "dynamic flow" into your videos. Keep it up though, I enjoy your stuff!

[@aussieespanol]

Love that input. Thanks for that legend 🙌🏼 still trying work it all out for sure

[@NoeAVillarreal]

✌🏼

[@brandonwilson5727]

No air filter seems really risky

[@aussieespanol]

Risk it for the biscuit 😂

[@belencapdevila8533]

Amigo te acontre con mi amigo en Argentina la Paz Mendoza

[@aussieespanol]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@keithwight856]

Great video . Please don’t run without an air filter it won’t be good for your engine

[@aussieespanol]

Yeah you’re probably right 😬😂

[@noahrussell2043]

Careful if your sunglasses are polarised because I believe that will inhibit you being able to see black ice 👍

[@aussieespanol]

Great advice! Thanks for that
