A couple months ago a friend of mine bought this wheeler for his daughter. In my last video of it we determined it needed an engine rebuild. here is the rebuild and startup. enjoy
Hey!..man took forever to find you...had to look for '"motor home ")..Wanted to get back cause you were so cool in getting back to me...thanx again so much..Long story long..turns out friend here in woods had 2 "Trailblazers one is perfect other has tranny probs...turns out shop over bored one working on and not my fault!..DAMN!...60 over and well just excuses...so that sucked...but now riding in pines and crazy compression..starts with push of button...very cool :) sorry lengthly but you were a big support and kept me going...Ohhh...check it out!...$200 for both matching 2000's and dog and I cruis'n the Utah mountains....now maybe tranny work on other one....Thanx friend..."Highpines...
Your dog lays in the sunlight because a dog with design that way and their habitats quality sunlight is very good for the dog it's very good for the human body science tells you otherwise but I'll tell you right now sunlight is very good for the human body and some of his very good for the animals
So how long do these 250 engines last. I just bought an '06 trailblazer. This machine is mint. Everything is original. I've built 2stroke engines before but this one I'm not positive about. It barely has any smoke. All my other 2S smoke. But you can smell it in the air and on clothes. Is this the norm for this engine?
i've had a trailblazer 250 for 15 years, they don't smoke a whole lot compared to other 2 strokes but it should smoke a little, if it stops smoking completely your oil pump failed, its mounted on the back of the crank case and it pumps oil from the front reservoir to the jet in the carburetor, my trailblazer has been running strong, the only problem i ever had was a blown head gasket which was my fault for overheating the damn thing, lately i shoot about 1 oz of oil for every gallon of gas i give her on top of the oil from the reservoir, just a precaution i take because its old and i don't want to seize it up if the oil pump happens to fail when i'm out in the woods
Arrrg..Hey...The good and hmmm..Fired up T.B started immediately..let idle for 1/2 hr or so turned off..put on clutch cover and maybe 1/2 hr later...No Go..day later..no go..turns over..if carb choked with hand it tries real hard wont start..new fuel ..lines clear..new plug in and out many times.So strange it would start so quick then nadda....man so frustrated..Ideas? Once again thanx for any help..
Happy Friday...putting this thing together..what did U use to lube the wrist pin bearing and I assume since a 2 stroke theres no oil to change in crankcase..it's lubed with gas/oil fuel mixture..U've been so helpful Thanx Man..keep you posted
Highpinesnow thank you! I used assembly lube on the wrist pin. The machine is oil injected, but we didn't trust it, so we used premix. Thanks for watching. Good luck! Tell me how it went
Great...My brother is helping me out and laughed at your 1 vein and 2 vein "Harbor Freight torque comparison..he's wondering how that worked out for you..hehehhe
Hey guy's..finally back with couple ?'s installing piston and top of this Namura has an EX> I assume that faces exhaust out towards front of machine? ...also did you use any oil on piston or just install dry? Thanx and yep ur right don't spill your beer :)
how did you make the decision on what size rings to use? Did the head need any honing? Was the piston replacement a stock polaris or did you use an aftermarket like Wiseco? Any idea how many hours were on the top end prior to rebuild?
Letting a motor warm up to operating temperature, especially air cooled, can double or triple top end life. This allows gradual instead of sudden expansion, less chance to score piston.
@@grandcrappy My water cooled atv / 2 stroke always idles about a minute or more prior to operating. I babe all my equiptment.....that's one reason it lasts so long.
Hey...firing this thing up tomorrow friend said use pre-mix of 1quart oil to 5 gal gas for break -in ...sound O.K?...or how much oil for a 5 gal jug would you use..Thanx so much...can't wait... :)
Highpinesnow sounds good. It'll probably be rich, but a little smoke and a fouled plug or 2 is better then a locked up engine. You'll be fine. Let me know how it runs. Good luck
Random question about this model: will the engine run without the clutch and huge clutch cover installed? I'm an independent mechanic - never owned one of these.
@@fitzsfixes I'm just venting and hoping you would say YES the clutch cover needs to be installed in order to crank it. Because I can't get mine to run and I have been over everything a million times. So I am royally pissed about it. (not you)
Hey guy's..Still around? I hope...Excellent Video!!..Same prob with my 2002 Tblazer checked compression this morn and it's at 45psi..everything tore down..head off..But Please..what the hell did you use for the bottom bolts on the jug?? It's a 14mm but an open end ain't break'n em...no sockets gonna squeeze in there..just curious what you used..Thanx..Highpines
Highpinesnow I used an open end wrench. It wasn't stuck. Sorry you're having issues with yours. Try to heat just the nut with propane or map gas. Then spray penetrating oil on it AFTER you turn off the flame. It should crack loose. Good luck
Hey ..I'm curious...what vid/cam U using..wouldn't mind sending some vids to city friends of a ride thru pines...some R expensive but...any suggestions..:)
Cool will check out ...gopros R expensive man...just want something to clip on quad or helmet..show ride U know?..some are bout $50 but don't want to waist money...Thanx
I had one of those when I was like 15 and I have to tell you they are the biggest piece of shit Polaris ever put out underpowered overweight they don't even have fucking Reed valves in the goddamn thing which I don't know how the fuck it works without them but my father and I tried to change mine out and couldn't find the fucking things anywhere literally the worst bike I've ever had the experience of riding
That's a good sound. The engine firing after some major work
If ur determined you don’t need a clutch puller can work around the clutch cover

Nice party bus
We definitely have a blast in it
do you have a resource on how the vacuum lines for that carburetor are supposed to be??? thanks!

how change oil transmision on my sport 400 2t 97 is the same disign that this, i think only change the cc
prob cost the same to rebuild the atv as it did to drive that bus there
Sweet Dog! Great video.

Highpinesnow yes put that towards the exhaust port. And yes use oil to install. It'll just smoke a touch more at start up.
Very useful, thank you!
Whats the best way to get a siezed top end off
Soak it overnight in transmission fluid.
Do you have to rebuild the engine if it got hydro locked?
Half a vein in the neck!💯💯💯💯😂

Yes, you can start it.
@@fitzsfixes Not the answer I was hoping for. But thanks. Lol
@@HorsepowerHouse I'm sorry? What were you looking for?

@@HorsepowerHouse the clutch cover does not need to be installed. The clutch itself for that matter, doesn't either. Just fire it up.

If the threads aren't boogered up, the heat will work. Hold the torch on just the nut for 30-40 seconds.
Thanx so much..will give it a try..will keep you posted
I have
Hey ..I'm curious...what vid/cam U using..wouldn't mind sending some vids to city friends of a ride thru pines...some R expensive but...any suggestions..:)
Highpinesnow I think this video was shot on a Sony HD handycam. Most of my newer vids are from a few gopros. Hero 3 hero 4 and sessions
Cool will check out ...gopros R expensive man...just want something to clip on quad or helmet..show ride U know?..some are bout $50 but don't want to waist money...Thanx
Highpinesnow I also sometimes use a Vivitar. It's a gopro knockoff. Super cheap and works pretty good
I have a question I have the same moto and I want to know what oil
"oil"
