Bro I’m doing the same thing with my Chevelle
@@douglaspriest6499 no wayyy let’s go. What year?
I have the same machine with a broken drive cable spring. I have a replacement cable, but because the spring was broken, I have no idea how it makes it's way from the drive disk attachment thru the dual drive shafts and out through the access whole onto the guide wheel in the back before going up to the lever. I can't see how the cable misses all those 2 moving gears & drive chains. Can you offer me any help or is that machine long gone from your possession? I've looked everywhere on Google for a diagram. Thanks for any help you can offer. Layne
@@LayneBarber-q9x let me see what I can’t get figured out
ua-cam.com/video/_Al4CaHSjJQ/v-deo.htmlsi=bCklXHli_1X7RXKG I know yours is dual moving gears/drive chains… does this video help at all?
If the cable spring goes in the same hole as the pull back spring then I think I'm good. There is an open hole on the other side of the friction disc but it is diagonal to the opening on the back by the roller. Thanks! @@backcountrybuilds
@@LayneBarber-q9x maybe take a look at this one too. I’ll see if I can’t find a tracked blower video
@@backcountrybuilds Everything back together and running great. $10 dollar cable from Amazon & hooking the end of the spring in the right hole solved it. Thank you for being willing to take them time to help me. Have a Merry Christmas! Layne
That’s a pretty nice bike
@@Dirtbiker616 thanks man! She isn’t perfect, but sure is way better in green.

What was the deal? That’s an 05 dessert yellow I see
@@susdad hell yeah. She needed some love. Carbs were gunked, old fuel, belt was shot, few other odds and ends!
@@backcountrybuilds how much $$
I bought the exact same yr make and model about 3 weeks ago. Fantastic machine
@@backcountrybuilds mine has 133 hrs and 500 miles though so not too much to fix. Just cleaned carbs, air filter and plugs
@ nice work. Mine was pretty beat. Quite the process to get to the carbs, huh?
This will be my next truck project. My fog lights are extremely loose and are cracked from rocks. Thanks for the video!
@@MrSoAmazing definitely worth the time. Tecoom was a cheap and easy solution, too.
Does this snowblower have an air filter or just an air box cap?
@@TravisBright-s3r I think it depends on the year. Check the other comments where I included a link to a diagram that might answer your question depending on what year your blower is.
@backcountrybuilds does the one in the video have an air filter?
@ I don’t remember unfortunately.
Does anyone have a air cleaner cover for sale?
@@TravisBright-s3r any idea what year the machine is? And you’re talking about the carburetor cover?
@backcountrybuilds air filter cover. Its a ys828 looks like late 80s early 90s.
Its the cover that holds the air filter in the air filter housing. I picked up this snowblower and it is missing the air filter and the cover for it.
@ I’m with ya. Only reason I asked is snowblowers usually don’t have air filters, just airboxes to keep the snow out. Might help your search if you use a different term. Let me see if I can’t find what you’re looking for
Hot damn it does have an air filter hahaha www.jackssmallengines.com/jacks-parts-lookup/manufacturer/yamaha/snow-blower/ys828te/air-filter-carburetor
I’m seriously thinking about building the same bike but from the frame up build…do you recommend it?
@@GavinElliott-hu9wp I’ve owned three of these machines and they’re an absolute blast. Not gonna lie, the 400exs are my all time favorite. Maybe more worth your time than a little 250.
great videos my friend it deserves a lot more likes. how many times have you had to watch your videos back to see where things go? 😂
@@natericheson6214 hahahaha thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed. The videos sure are a cheat code sometimes.
Hi bro, we are looking for collaborators to test our new taillights. Are you interested in testing them out?
@@JWSGZ Hi there, yes I am. Can you email me dansdumbideas@gmail.com?
In the process of doing all of this on a 02. I can feel your frustration in my soul😂😂☠️
@@BigDandthegirls hahaha it all ends up working out! Best of luck and thanks for watching.
Ik this a year later but it says 2.1 quarts… did you even use the third one? The bottles I got were 32 oz which is 1 quart I got 2 so do you think I need to use a third bottle? Did u fill until it started coming out the hole? Lmk thanks
you only need 2 quarts, about to do mine as well an already asked
So I still have stock 17s with 285/70r17 open range all terrain tires. I really don't want to upsize the rims as I just got the tires. How much of a lift could I get before it looks ridiculous? Maybe a 4 inch?
@@Duffinhusterr 4 inch would probably loook quite alright
@backcountrybuilds Thanks! Might just go with a 3inch but it'll be awhile before I can get it done.
@ very cool. Give me an update when it’s done. Good luck
I have a 2002 500 ZL. Runs great. I have the same problem with the filler neck being crack. Did you repair it and if so how?
@@LeonardUller hope this link helps: www.arcticchat.com/threads/fuel-tank-filler-neck-cracked-or-broken-how-to-repair.500290/
Hey nice video. Straight forward to the point. Did you ever make a video on changing the transmission fluid? Was curious to see how to do it on a manual t. Thanks
@@ddemier unfortunately, I didn’t. Let me see if I can’t find you a link to a good one.
@@ddemier ua-cam.com/video/bem0q3rxknQ/v-deo.htmlsi=wFkUDrn3EOtBnLUI This should be helpful. Thanks for watching.
Question on the rear diff fluid. I bought the EXACT same type of rear diff fluid but only 2 qts. I also bought friction modifier so I figured that would be the .2 of Fords rear diff fluid capacity of 2.1 qts. Do you think that will be enough or do I really need to buy that 3rd qt to make 2.1qts. I only added 2qts plus friction modifier. 2007 Shelby Gt 5speed
@ guaranteed you’re gonna spill some hahahaha
@backcountrybuilds I didn't spill any. You think 2qts and friction modifier is good enough for a non daily driver? 2qts is 64 oz 2.1 qts is 67.2 oz You might lose 2oz of fluid that clings to the inside of the bottles (give or take)
Very cool video bud.
@@fredberger2451 thanks, Fred!
Nothing like a good Kawasaki brute force👏👏👏👏😎😎
@@Fx-hl9wg hell yeah brother
Hey an older single female that found your video to be the most helpful. You went thru each step & explained why & what to see & expect. Most importantly you didn't leave out any steps, no matter how small, which was the problem I was having with other repair videos leading me into rabbit hole after rabbit hole since I didn't actually overfill it I just tipped it the wrong way to check & clean the carburetor (from bad fuel) & must have gotten oil in the crankshaft as I noticed oil had spilled out from somewhere & in my air filter. At least I'm hoping that's the source of my problems. I have copious amounts of white smoke. However, if you happen to see this comment now in 11/24 after smoking for a minute still running I notice a hot burning smell & so turn it off. Do you know if that is the excess oil burning off or something else i have to track down. Anyway great video thank you 👍
Must add that I did change oil, gas, air filter & spark plug. Thx!
@@tammysmith9727 thanks for the complimentary comment. Is it running poorly when you smell that burning smell? Sometimes if mowers sit outside leaves or mice/nests can get in behind the recoil/pullcord shroud and make some less than desirable smells.
Just got one 15 dollars seller said it goes but smoke coming out of exhaust i bought it just cleaned all the oil and dust off gave a new air filter new spark plug took off exhaust it start up straiggt away no smoke like farkn new 😂idiots that overfilled oil
I was wondering if you were going to use the pickle fork 😅
@@mrj10101 gotta do it to em
Old thread!! But... I have this same sled & absolutely know anything about!! Lol but i did have spark & took carb off to clean & now no spark!! I did the bypass on the Stator & kill switch / ignition Still nothing & s new coil pk also!! Is there an ignition fuse somewhere? Not an electric start!! I'm learning as i go, so any help would be appreciated!! Thx

@@backcountrybuildssounds mint dude. I wish we could run no cats here. One of the best sounding mustangs out there for sure. Do you still have it?
@ I don’t. I sold the car last year when I moved back up North… got to fund the Chevelle project. These LS parts ain’t cheap. You in Cali?
@@backcountrybuildsnope I’m in PA. Had an 05 and about to buy a low mileage 07.

I have the same truck 6" lift kit with 37" Micky Thompson's, with a 10kg warn winch.
@@teammusky7469 how much did the ole winch setup put you back?
Thanks ...... will try this. What a pain to replace compared to American made.
@@zzlogic980 big time. Best of luck!
@@backcountrybuilds I will report back within a week. Will do this when I get the 1/2" socket I need. Wow it is dark inside there..... To get my fingers in there and remove that cable. And replace.
@ invest in a headlamp. Tough to look cool wearing one, but they work great

@@austinl.2703 thanks for watching!
Head up to everyone doing an upper control arm replacement, you want your tire on the ground when you torque the control arm bolts. You don’t want tension on your bushing with your suspension extended they will wear faster especially with a lift.
@@HoosierFilms thanks for this!
nice video. just got a ‘17 Ram 1500 Sport. i’m wanting to do a 6” lift also. looks really good. i’ve also seen 37’s with a 6” lift and it looks so good. thank you for the video!
@@elixdrums thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed. I bet the Ram sport would pretty sweet with a 6” for sure
Hey man its been a year since you posted this, have you had any issue related to a 6inch lift since a year ago? I already have 35×12.5×20 on my ram with a level kit with literally no rub but i feel it need to be lifted tires fill up to much of the wheel well, also does the rear sit higher than the front after the lift?
@@tattedone6753 funny you ask, I’m in the process of making a 100k mile after video. I still drive the truck every day and love it just as much. I now have 125,000 miles on it and have no complaints. I just did front wheel bearings about 5k miles ago, but that’s what I get for running 35s and wheel spacers. Really can’t complain for going 120,000 + miles on one set of wheel bearings. If I had any more complaints, I’d tell you! I think the rear sits about 1” higher in the back, but not a noticeable rake by any means. Thanks for watching
I have a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 as well….its even black like yours. This video just helped me make up my mind on the 6 inch lift and what my truck would look like. Thanks for the video, good stuff.
@@MrSoAmazing very cool. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. Reach back out later I wanna see what the ole girl turns out looking like
