      @vadimkargin3200 5 місяців тому +3

      @TexasRedneck there are 2 plugs on the right side under the tank. I believe 1white and 1grey. You have to flip the connectors, white to grey a and white to grey. It plugs right in. After that turn the ignition on and wait few seconds. Should be all good after that. Plug the connectors back In the right order. Its been about 2 years since I did it. I might be forgetting the sequence ignition on or off. There is a video about it on UA-cam. That is how I found out initially. Good luck.

  • @smokesandalloy9487

    Since the cam timing was off on that cyl, may have to recheck the valve clearance, since the cams were out of phase at TDC. And compression may also be a little better with that fixed? Glad that it's running much better, and great troubleshooting!

    • @KenFullman
      @KenFullman 3 місяці тому

      I doubt they'll be affected. The valves are checked with the piston at TDC on the compression stroke. Both valves will be completely closed for at least 90 degrees before and after that, so one tooth of offset in the camshaft won't show any difference in the clearance.

    Hey Joe, during your test drive in the yard of the Kawasaki, it sounds like there was a driveline whine, especially on deceleration. Best check the bearings or the joints in the driveline. With what has been neglected on that machine, I would bet the trans or the diffs may be low on or out of oil! Great job on this one for sure.

    got a 2001 prairie 650 i got for $300 not running a year ago. went through the whole thing. those carbs are a pain to rebuild. only 80 hrs on the engine. everything you could imagine was stuck. don"t know how long it sat. primary clutch was the worst. very little money but a lot of hours later it runs like a raped ape and starts right up. watching your vids reminds me of what i went through. keep up the great content. even this 72 year old man has learned a few things from you.

I had a similar issue before that involved a valve adjustment and worn rings. After a top end rebuild., the issues ended up being a defective reverse limit switch "weird" but the person I sold it to a few years later is still using it to this day and loves it, they are way more dependable than the 750s

    Something to keep in mind is that this engine is almost exactly the same as the teryx you worked on last year.

I dealt with the same issue as you with the smoking and the lack of top end power until I replaced the valves.

I can shift into first and sometimes second but than I cant shift back down to first or neutral. If I turn the reverse knob than I can down shift but will go right into reverse. I'm not afraid to open the case but I don't want to do it for nothing. Like I said the engine is strong. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.

    Another great vid, Joe! I think you should do a one-off video documentary of a Day-In-The-Life of Vinny! You know, when he wakes everyone up each morning, takes care of business, runs around like a crazed chicken, eats breakfast, picks on the other puppy, does a full day of diagnosing and wrenching, advises you on everything you get wrong, chases phantom entities around the yard, naptime, cuddles with Jade, supper, hyper-active zoomies, picking on other dog, evening prayers, and finally asleep for the night. 🐶

    Nice ATV, should be a quick flip! I thought of you and your great troubleshooting methods while watching another video. The guy was troubleshooting a chainsaw that was bogging down. Long story short, he ended up using a adjustable ignition system coil tester to verify the spark he did have was very weak. I'm not sure if you have one (haven't seen you use it) but it's a great way to test your coil strength as you can adjust the gap to pretty much whatever you want. Just because you have spark doesn't mean that it's good spark! It's definitely something I'm going to add to my toolbox.

    He-he, from the moment he said, "it won't go over 30mph..." I hoped it was carburretted. Because then it becomes easier [I'm older]. Then, low and behold, identical carbs. Liquid cooled inline engine, so the jetting and settings will be identical too. And, oh joy, one is behaving and one isn't. Swap outs! Must admit, I expected a perforated diaphram too, but that little brass jet was the bugger. Can't believe the original owner didn't see that. That compression test revealed a heck of a lot too. And those inlet valves.!!! Ouch. Well done.

    If you have trouble locating the source of a coolant leak in the future, try wiping it dry and use a black light (UV) to see where the coolant seeps out while it's running. I've never needed the fluorescent dye for this. The antifreeze fluoresces just fine by it's self. I hope I can pass a few little things along before my time on this rock is up. Older mechanics have a treasure-trove of tips time saving information.

    Wild first guess, screwed up spring on the vac assist carb
    Never would have guessed the ballance jet.
    Better to replace both

    Titaniumman Garage had a Polaris that wouldn't go over 45. His problem was electrical moisture. He put dielectric grease on the plug & coil connectors. Solving the problem. This 4x4 had more issues, unfortunately. But should make someone a decent quad.
