1995 Honda Passport Rodeo Hard Start Fuel System Problem
Why the phuck does that thing have such huge motors? It's on screws. That thing is a brutally slow pig. When you try to spin those motors fast they don't have any torque. I think it's hilarious that JD's garage makes an even sshitier clone of this thing lol
I have a blue one like that
I would’ve never thought a little dirt on my plug would be the problem my carb was dirty clogged jet cleaned it still no start plug was black but had spark let it sit in gas cleaned it fired right up first pull… thanks for this eye opener bud
Your welcome
Could I get the link to the torque converter
It's just a 30 series driver with a 1" bore instead of a 3/4 shaft like they normally come with
so is the srewdriver how you test the coil?
Sk tools sell for lots fyi
The cone is a blade balancer for lawn mover blades 😅
Haha ya I figured that out and used it the last time I sharpened my lawnmower blades.
Honestly a lifetime of tools for 80 retail at least 18000 in today’s money
It was an amazing deal
I know every tool in that box
Great video. Did you need to reinforce the holes you cut in the frunk to keep some rigidity? Would this have worked without putting the hole in the bottom of the frunk?
There is a lot of structure up there. All I removed was sheet metal. I think you want the air to come out somewhere.
AutoZone did me wrong too ! 😭😂
Haha, they do that pretty regularly
How fast does the bike go? i know its 3 years old but plz respond back to my comment
if you can't find a junked old army pickup to get one, what other trucks or vehicles work for a 70 c10
Where did you get that engine plate
Go power sports
Could it be possible if you could swap the 200cc engine in the coleman CT200U moped with the predator 301cc engine
@@Yoda_Editz77 that is what we did
@@DJsHotRodFab Ohhhh I thought it was a different bike😅
@@Yoda_Editz77 oh ya I see what your saying. You can definitely fit in on a ct200
What did you use for a triple tree? I'm building a custom bike using a atc 200x tree right now
I made them and this is the video for them. I also have the full build of this bike on my channel ua-cam.com/video/YlYKEHUvAiA/v-deo.htmlsi=jty7BaHAJyoo983h
Sorry I forgot that link. ua-cam.com/video/YlYKEHUvAiA/v-deo.htmlsi=jty7BaHAJyoo983h
Is this a 3 speed th400?
Yes, 4l80 is the 4 speed version of this transmission
@DJsHotRodFab can you explain to me all the different vacuum modulator they offer for the 3 speed. The one red stripe, two red stripes, black and red stripes. Mine is dripping. Was going to replace it but I don't want to get the wrong one. My truck is an 89 r3500 converted to carbureted. Thanks. The one one the truck has no stripes. Lol. And I don't know my ratio
@@DJsHotRodFab thanks
@@DJsHotRodFab probably just get an o ring instead of the entire thing
@@MrBmxbrawler oh I see what your saying. Ya if there isn't anything wrong with it I would just do the O-Ring. I don't know the differences in the modulators. I know back when I was a transmission R&R guy we would just replace them with adjustable ones. If your gonna replace it you could just get an adjustable modulator
If you take off the two bolts for front housing it pops out enough so you don’t have to take off the whole axle
Nic video dude.
Thanks
Sheesh you've had internals done for 47 mph. I have a bt200x, with a juggernaut, red spring in last position, 50 rear sprocket 14 tooth on the driven...120 main jet, governor bypass straight pipe with mini silencer and I hit 52mph.
Different gearing. Mine is geared for trails. Careful turning too many RPM's with the stock flywheel.
Bro do you know where or how to read the check engine codes on this thing?
Bro do you know how to read the check engine codes on these things. I cannot find anything for the life of me
I have a similar lawn mower, and so much grass gets under that plastic cover that it rots and almost smells like cow dung. And the more you mow the lawn, the more grass goes into it, making it very heavy.
Yep, mine did something similar. Just have to scrape it out.
Hey boss, I saw your removed the dowel pin from the trans. Did you have to also remove the 2 dowel pins on the 2gr block?
I still had 2 dowl pins in the block. IDK if you have seen this video where I finished the mounting of this trans. ua-cam.com/video/BFSi0ATsBh0/v-deo.htmlsi=KbqrHPVlTXSkKKfc
Thank you for the followup. I remember watching that video when you published but will go back again and see.
I have the same wheels for my 2003 Supercharged Vibe. I had to install 5mm spacers to clear the calipers. I also installed Dodge Journey wheel studs which are a quarter of an inch longer to give me the 8 turns I needed for the proper lug nut engagement.
Cool, I want to supercharge mine some day.
@@DJsHotRodFab You have two options, the Monkeywrench racing one which will set you back $5k but has more tuning options of finding a factory one with the add-on ECU that I don't believe is tunable but adds 40 HP more.
@@CountryFarmBoyUSA I think id rather have the MWR one, but if I come across a factory one, I would probably go that route
I just picked up a 2005 Vibe GT with 335k from the 2nd owner who had it for 15 years and ran Mobil one in it. Going to do a compression test and see how it looks. Has a rust hole right behind the front control are mount so I plan on parting it out as it has a bad clutch, cracked windshield and rust along the top of the windshield. This car will be parted out so other GT's/Vibes can live. I did cut a Vibe in half to see how it was constructed and under the pinch welds, there is another frame structural member running the length of the rockers. These cars are built tough. I have 7 Vibes in my driveway right now. 8-)
We definitely need parts for these cars.
My dad built a pole barn back in 1999 and it had a dirt floor for years . Never kept us from doing anything 👍
Nice!
Is T4 okay to use?
What we call those little wheels that spin the belt . My mover belt broken and found out 2 of those little wheels not spinning like in this video but Lowe’s don’t carry those parts . I want to order them online but don’t know if it is really called wheel ??
That is the drive belt and drive belt pulleys. You might want to order the whole set. There's three pulleys in a belt.
What brand is the building? Looks real heavy duty compared to some other metal buildings.
It's a JD Metals Building from Jonesboro TN. It is super heavy duty. They are building shop houses out of these
Very helpful! Thank you for being thorough and saving me a lot of time so that I didn't have to learn from trial and error.
Your welcome. That was my goal in making the video. Glad it helped you.
I’m doing the same thing myself and your videos are great! I hope to post my project at some point.
Thanks!
Any idea if 235/85 r16 would fit a stock rodeo without lifting it.?
My guess would be yes, that's close to a 31 and depending on the wheels and how sagged out your suspension is, they probably will fit
@@DJsHotRodFab. It's got 245/75 r16 on it now and was wondering if you or anyone has tried 235/85r16 before. Thanks.
Looks like a sweet kart. No wobble no bouncyness. Looks solid. Top speed in the 35 to 40mph?
Thanks, I bet the top speed is closer to 30 mph
I building a na for my daughter gets gets her license I 2 weeks. Enjoying you videos. Thank you.
Thanks, that's a great first car
What does the retainer washer look like that holds the blade
Not sure, I don't have the mower anymore
Gosh I hate to see good cars like that rusted out.
I will fix it. This is pretty minimal rust for people from Minnesota
I put mine together last year from sitting for 3 years but now fraustrated on where to go to start i already downloaded their program i heard its a lot of learning not including air pressure and all that
I feel ya. My biggest hurdle was learning the CAD, CAM stuff through fusion 360 and also getting it to work on the machine. It's a huge learning process and your not gonna get it in the first shot. I used the crossfire forum and instructions a bunch and still do. I don't use it a ton, but it takes a few projects to get used to using it and even then I am still learning things every time I use it.
@@DJsHotRodFab i am thinking of selling it not getting what I paid for but going with the arc droid cnc were you trace anything and it’ll do it for you i think thats what it is arc droid small screen and it’s red and small
@@ralphzavala8757 I tried to buy an Arcdroid when I bought this and the Arcdroids were sold out. I would still like to have one.
@@DJsHotRodFab true debating on still getting one while I learn on the langmuir
What kind of insulation is that on the walls? Ceiling? Thanks.
I'm not sure. its pretty thin. I'm sure it helps , but I will be adding more in the future.
My son bought me one of these two years ago. It worked on about a dozen pieces but then wouldn't stay running. I couldn't figure it out & there aren't enough places around my area or people with experience with trouble shooting & fixing. You video is one of a very few. Keep up the great work.
Thank you
The guides on the sword out of adjustment or the blade is no good and it's wandering and not the proper adjustment on the blade tension
Can.you have too much tension on these blades?
This is by far my favorite project. I thought you said it has master or slave cylinder leak. It seems I skipped it or you skipped that part.
The previous owners said it had a leak in the clutch system. I haven't found it leaking yet.
The shift selector?
That is a name for it.
What is that part opposite side of the modulator? Mine is leaking, trans shifts hard in reverse
The shift selector?
The shift selector?
Yep That selector shaft seal is a common problem. and you really need that tool to replace it, but if you have a damaged selector shaft like mine, your gonna have to drop the transmission pan.
DJ, those pulleys have a bearing cover that can be easily popped off with a knife or pick. They are dry with no grease! Put a little grease in them so they will last a lot longer!
Thanks for the advice!
Why not grease the wheels shafts
The pully doesn't spin in the shaft. The pully spins on the bearing. putting grease on the shaft wont do anything for you.
3 pulley and belt, 45.00 ebay
Did you get yours fixed?
@@DJsHotRodFab yes it’s a customers
Front brake no no no
Haha, It still doesn't have a front brake.
what is the actual height of the tires with air in them?
IDK, I never took a tape measure to them. I assume they are 20" may actually be taller
Is it legal
Sort of. It's a permitted event. Ride at your own risk. We definitely pushed the limits of what we could get away with.
So this was about fixing a motor, not a problem with the splitter itself.
The splitter worked fine once the engine was running. Then I went through the rest of it and built a cover for it.
