Yamaha Moto 4 Sitting 20+ Years | Will It Run?

[@firehades2007]

You put a 250 cylinder on a 225 with the rings upside down and it still ran, not to bad :) Overall I enjoyed the video and hope you make more!

[@andrewbaum5698]

I had the same machine back in 1986. Great machine for the time. It did everything I needed it to except the suspension was a bit rough. Lol! That one is in really good shape. Hope it lasts another 20 years. Great video too.

[@MrCodgedodger]

Heck of a job. Rings are always letter up, and the ring gaps have to be spaced according to the service manual, else it'll always be burning oil / smoking. But it runs, so I suppose it doesn't matter. lol

[@jaysmobilemechanicservices]

Awesome work man. Its amazing how it turned out. Its amazing when you let something sit for a period of time all the damage that rodents can cause to something. All that corrosion on the alumium from the rodent piss. You have an amazing talent for working on things. Keep up the great work!

[@lugnutzz75]

Nice. I had that exact bike but in gray. I gave it pure hell. Rode it like a racing bike sliding and jumping hills. Took it through more mud than you can imagine. I ran a 1” bigger and wider Woolley boogers on the back. It ran for years. Good luck.

[@jorgesaavedra9158]

That may not be the original seat for that 4 wheeler. Nice video!!! I hope you're enjoying your vacation. Good luck with finals .

[@OffroadJosh902]

I had one of these. 1988 225. Low range was broke but the way I ride I never would have used it anyways lol. Lots of fun in the winter especially. Had a set of swamp foxes on for tires and they did really well. Lightweight and not too aggressive to where you can't whip the ass end out.

[@johnhewitt7539]

Well done Andrew you make the most of all your projects great content keep it up your Dad should be really proud of you and I'm sure he is

[@HorseMalone]

You're not frightened to get stuck in Andrew, that came out real nice.... My least favourite part of doing restorations is dealing with corrosion.

[@The_Home_Pros]

Great job man that thing is like brand new looking!!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

If I remember correctly you can block or release the rear differential lock.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

Good job young man, looks like brand new ( on film).

[@carolyndean4591]

Always find your content so interesting.

[@lyleminyard2308]

Great job again big daddy!

[@katieandkevinsears7724]

I bought a well kept 350 about 18 months ago. Thanks to this video, I now know about the compartment behind the tail light.

[@johndeere1951a]

Another great restoration, per your usual expertise 👍👍. I live in the land of stone walls from when all of New England was clear cut and you could see for miles. Preserve your stone walls. Here in New Hampshire its a crime if you disturb them . Someone toied long and back breaking hard to clear the fields and create what everone takes for granted. Keep your mechanical stories coming. 👍👍

[@johnnymac8264]

Good job. You went pretty deep into your repair!!

[@ChrisChizewick]

Just little tip for the"painter", I use playing cards to mask around wheels when tires are still mounted. Just deflate and tuck them in.

[@daleh645]

You can work on anything! 👍 What’s the story on all the stone buildings?

[@geofferyshanen7758]

Andrew. you are awesome, and thanks for all the great content. I was watching this a noticed when you installed the new piston you placed the numbers facing down on the rings I believe that is incorrect. They should face up. The rings have a bevel and installing them wrong will cause issues with the wiping of the oil on the cylinder walls. Thanks Again!!

[@stevefife6399]

Nice work.

[@col2lin]

You have done well, looking forward to seeing a lot more.

[@JimsNBHomestead]

Well done young man. Get a IR titanium air impact. This impact runs so slow you can literally tap out bolts

[@liljoeii6091]

That's awesome that you got that fixed thank you for the video

[@Military-Museum-LP]

A message to your father……My son is close to the same age as yours and when he was young he was constantly with me in the shop but now it’s just a memory. He no longer has any interest. You are a luck man, sir.

[@metoon3092]

Somewhat the same story here; my son married and moved to North Carolina 5 yrs. ago. I have seen him twice since.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

@@metoon3092 my thought are with you. I hope things change for the better for us both.

[@metoon3092]

@@Military-Museum-LP agreed

[@Military-Museum-LP]

It’s a shame about the corrosion on the motor. The general condition is fantastic and might merit a donor motor.

[@michellewood8719]

I’ve got exactly the same bike, not in as good condition as this one. Thank you for your video. Having trouble starting so just got new air filter and spark plug. Wanting to drain the carby of old fuel but can’t find a flush point. I’m in Australia and sadly my cocky chewed the switches on dash and hand grip area. Hoping I can replace?

[@utubepro7742]

Awesome video Just picked up same quad Doesn’t want to go in low range? Does your work? Looking for info on it? Any would help

[@jongraeber8245]

Always a good video!

[@floridanick]

Great videos thank you for sharing

[@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO]

looking good now nice work

[@The_Home_Pros]

Letters always face up on the piston rings 😣

[@michaelhinkle6648]

Letter on rings should face up.

[@kirbygulbrandsen4507]

What would be the difference, being that it runs good?

[@biker6991]

The rings have a wedge shaoe to them. So may work the wring way. Ie push oil up not dow the cylinder. ​@kirbygulbrandsen4507

[@johnlangston466]

You put the piston rings on upside down the letter on the ring always faces up

[@popko12345]

nice work whit the machin

[@jsvallee567]

letter always up you put those ring upside down haha !

[@diggiz22]

Where did you get your gasket set from?

[@bryonnagle4329]

Letters on rings always face up not down

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Too bad it only had 2 wheel drive. Where you were going you could have used 4 wheel drive. Good job on getting it going. That corrosion was fierce and even rotted off the throttle cable. You were lucky you had that butt connector to run the throttle or this little woods jaunt would have gone nowheres. Leaving that powersaw by the path wasn't very smart but ya'll just thought it was from the cleanup crew. Some freshly cut logs did let you through but if that jobbie had four wheel you could just head out through the forest.

[@aDiZALiT505]

What year is this quad

[@CarlosIbarra-q5s]

What year is this?

[@traceburns0462]

I’m looking at buying one of these on Facebook and me and my dad are wondering was it hard finding parts and does it have a lot of power?

[@thesmallenginekid]

It has good power and parts are easy to find.

[@tomburdett6639]

👍👍👍😁

[@thomasbroussard5986]

What should a 1986 moto-4 225cc in good shape and running be worth.

[@mightymo7852]

Had one just like this before it got stolen , my seat was the same way

[@dannyhoward2779]

No sir the letters always face up

[@texascottonfarmer]

👍👍👌👌

[@Military-Museum-LP]

They didn’t want it?? SCORE!

[@scottmoodysr9449]

Letter on rings face up

[@donwalters8877]

Got that for Free???????????

[@NicksRepairs]

The calibrator you put on there is junk i bought one and never ran good the calibrator is not Pericles made

[@brianmilliard6998]

lol, 20 years, sad use of a garage.

[@thesmallenginekid]

right, it was only in a garage a couple months. Before that it was in a collapsing shed.
