My dad picked up a Honda 60 basket case 4t when I was 6 or so, and those are some of the first memories I have to this day (mid-30's). Get the bike- you'll both make memories and maybe light a fire that'll get him repairing his own stuff later on instead of relying on someone else.
Working your powers of patience and knowledge. And the star of our show, 2Vinny. Nice day for a ride in the dairyland. A day out riding is another day NOT in the office
Sweet rebuild. To bad that cable broke. I agree with some others though man and take them gloves off using a grinder. Last thing you want to do is lose a digit or two. Great work great channel keep it up 👍🏼
35:10 If your copper sealing washer on the water pump was used and leaking, you can take and sand it smooth on both sides and then re-anneal it by heating it glowing red with a torch and let it cool naturally. This will realign the copper molecules and restore its crush-ability and sealing properties.
@@Edward-turtle That’s obvious of course, however this guy, I’ve never seen him replace one with new ever, and by the number of drain bolts I’ve seen leaking, few others do either. Just ppl being cheap, sloppy or lazy. It’s probably the #1 cause of broken drain bolts or stripped, stretched and weakened threads, because they all think oh I’ll just tighten it a bit more and it will stop leaking. However, Re-annealing copper washers is a perfectly acceptable back-up method for restoring the crush and sealing of the washer.
Got a Fourtrax 350 yesterday afternoon, 5 or 6 years in a barn. Key doesn't exist anymore, bike in pretty good shape, no mouse damage. Hoping to get it running today, got to pull fuel tank and flush out and carb. Like your 450, great find.
Joe, that's why I brought it up in the first place. A guy that worked in the shop was using a grinder and had large cloves on. He was told not to wear them but he did anyhow. His middle finger on the right hand got caught and he lost his middle finger, pulled it right out at the blink of an eye, just like that! Working around machinery is dangerous, keep aware! Stay safe!
Dont sweat the comments brother u do your thing just remember if thay say negative stuff its because thay are jealous god bless u and your family u have helped so manny including me ty my brother
I have never wore gloves I don’t care what I was doing no matter how cold gloves always got in the way some times they are very dangerous. We are just looking out for you Joe I’m quiet older than you I’m 59 so I’m old school just saying,I think a lot of you Joe you can tell a lot of a fellow just by his or her actions and you my friend are a good one keep it up and Joe you might wanna have garage sale and a storage sale before too long lol😊
👍-still dude you win, Nicholsvoll jugs scratch:gouge stinks pressed, like glass easier said than done but you checked like a boss, you know your stuff man, respect 100%
nice work Joe, I love watching these videos and see you have a win. just wondering though, when you say you payed $1800 and spent $400, are you including your labour ? If not, it would also be cool to know (and if you mentioned in the videos) what the labour cost would be, if the average Joe was to take the bike to a mechanic ? I imagine you are a mechanic and buy fix and sell on the side,which is really cool, just interested to know and adding the potential cost in the videos would make the content even better. keep the vids coming my man! love em.
Well!, I guess you can kinda call a semi automatic with no clutch, lol, but I wouldn’t start it and roll it and shift it without clutch too long. Great vid
6:55 eggs box X6 those of 30 eggs, for carters screws. (stacked to store them, You can forget a motorcycle for a long time - and find washers scews springs etc easily).
You need one of those vapor blasters cabinets you see on other channels. The parts come out like new . I used to use the wife's dishwasher, but that nearly ended in divorce 😂😂😂
This youngun is very excited about this quad , it does my heart good to see this much enjoyment about his gift,he is very gifted, Joe you would make a great teacher about motorcycles, motors in general , I’ve built and tore a many of motors , but you have got a great God given talent you should thank him for putting this kinda talented on you. I really really enjoy you, watching you and even learning from you I would like your address so I could send you and vinnie something sometime, thank you buddy, keep continue to keep treating people good and always remember to keep GOD FIRST , he will never steer you wrong please take care of yourself and your family
Great to someone actually running in an engine before actually using it under load. I'd like to think that everyone does it but as they never show, or mention it, I'm somewhat doubtful. Yes it was 'only' a new top end but that needs running in too.
I do the same with the drimal but use the copper wire wheel doesn't take any metal off but and gets nice and clean the plastic one only works for 60 seconds
When installing a cylinder on these motors, install the piston into the cylinder on the bench first that way you can use a ring compressor or at least you have more working room and vision to work the rings in to the cylinder by hand. Doing it the way you did you risk bending or damaging a ring. Then lower the piston down to where the wrist pin hole is just below the cylinder then lower the piston and cylinder over the rod and put the wrist pin thru. Stuff rags in the case and install the 2nd circlip. Seat the cylinder.
Always a good day when you double your money. I am sure a lot of us would be good for a raffle to win some of the stuff you repair! You should do a large sell off too and build a bigger shop with a lift or two and get a tool sponsor!
he can do a raffle but its alot of work to make it legit and legal... + the problems of the winners being far away sometimes... but he could and probalby make more money then reselling it and some lucky guy gets a cheap quad/bike
He's gotten way better from the time he started the channel til now.. he started with general small engine knowledge n troubleshooted so many issues he's picked up a ton of knowledge along the way
Take an old valve and do this test. Buy a can of wipe-out for shotgun (the spray foam type) spray the carbon let it sit overnight. You should be pleasantly impressed with how easy the cleanup is. Better then any sonic cleaner IMHO.
Hi Joe, Hope your thinking about the land? It will be going to seed. The farmer used to look after the plain field. Thats a lot of land management to deal with.
Great Job getting the top end done, sounds perfect! Just a tip for you, I see you use Milwaukee M12 power tools, I also see you use a corded soldiering iron. You should consider upgrading to the M12 soldiering iron from Milwaukee. I know plug in types can be set for certain temps, but for what your using it for the M12 is great! Excellent show keep up the good work!
Joe, many years ago, a guy was using a bench grinder, wearing gloves like you. He was told not to wear the gloves. They could catch on one of the stones. Well, he didn't listen and he lost a finger. One of the stones caught a glove, his finger was in the glove, got pulled right off. So, you may think twice about wearing gloves using a bench grinder, just saying. Stay safe Joe.
@dale, that wheel on the grinder isn't porous enough to catch a glove, wire wheels are more notorious for catching gloves, fingers... Also, your "just saying" really isn't necessary to make your point, after all nobody but you made the point, right? Joe you got the right idea, keep it safe and use gloves when grinding with any kind of stone.
@@allan9603they will catch a glove ! I’ve seen it twice ! One kid was in the shop alone at the time during lunch and sat there with his hand pulled into it for an hour until someone found him. Dude was just being helpful in the comment section, no need to be an ass to him !
It can happen with or without gloves. In high school a classmate of mine was not wearing gloves and got a finger sucked into the grinder and ripped off, we had to take the side cover off the grinder to get his finger out to send with to the hospital. The main thing is to respect the power of a bench grinder no matter what you are wearing or doing and always be careful.
hi you always do a good job on these bikes , i have a question hehehe are you a hoarder or do you sell them just playing its up to you but iv been watching and you seem to keep them , I'm still wondering if you finished the BSA iv seen it in the back ground hehehe like a 80-90s scrambler in total i just fixed every thing $$$$$ good show thanks
@@sleepeasywithwhitenoise3860 there are a lot of decent options, you can get sonic cleaners that work well. A wire brush helps also. Marvel mystery oil, gas are some cheap options. Vinegar and baking soda works well also. Get a metal polish for things you want shiny like exhaust they help tremendously. Something like eagle one or mothers mag polish
Just a little advice don’t use wiesco pistons for 4 strokes they are not what they use to be use a cp carillo or a vertex they run a little better performance wise but last a lot longer
Respect for how fast you post vids constantly
@2vintageeGiveaway I’m confused wdym
Nothing feels like wrenching a new set together, cilinder fits perfect. Big Up!
One of my new favourite channels I just subbed few days ago. Makes me want to get my son an 80 off marketplace and fix it up.
My dad picked up a Honda 60 basket case 4t when I was 6 or so, and those are some of the first memories I have to this day (mid-30's). Get the bike- you'll both make memories and maybe light a fire that'll get him repairing his own stuff later on instead of relying on someone else.

Yeah he charges himself labor for watching his hands do all the work
Always love seeing you test your repaired machines on that beautiful tract of land , looks like time to mow out there , tks for sharing the content
Fixed quad and a guest appearance of Vinnie. Good as it gets.
Always look forward to viewing your videos. You show a lot of patience and knowledge. Great work. (From St. Maarten).
Glad to see your efforts paying off Joe!
Nice job, that thing sounds like it rips pretty good!!!
Love seeing Vinny u need to include him more and keep him out of that kennel !
Well!, I guess you can kinda call a semi automatic with no clutch, lol, but I wouldn’t start it and roll it and shift it without clutch too long. Great vid
Really thorough rebuild on this one. THX for the lesson.
Man love them YFZ specially that year 08 ! Had one and let it go ! I will trade my LTR for another YFZ !

Love the variety of machines you work on! Fantastic as always. Would love to see a Suzuki Lt80 on the channel someday
Man that’s some amazing mechanics work ! I wish I knew more about fixing machines !! 👍
You need one of those vapor blasters cabinets you see on other channels. The parts come out like new .

I used our oven to treat some cerakote once, almost ended in divorce as well. lol
@@MrCodgedodger wives don't seem to understand us and how our minds work

😮 I see thos neutral drop roost marks in the second still camera shot lol no clutch dont mean u cant ride iv been there great job good deal also
Do you sell them after you fix them sweet video keep them coming u thing find something Rare again
I do the same with the drimal but use the copper wire wheel doesn't take any metal off but and gets nice and clean the plastic one only works for 60 seconds
Vinny is a beautiful & happy little dog great job m8 quad sounds great 💯👍🏻
Looks like a nice quad. Other than needing the clutch cable. Could use some graphics too. It's a little plain without them.
Good morning Joe I know you will have it running no problem at all
The fast quads are my favorite things you work on.

Love all your videos , quick question I'm sure you sell some of these project, were do you list them?
Good to see Vinny
My dad sold you that quad, awesome build man
A sonic blaster would have done the best job but bro know what he doing fr.
Been waiting for this day! Great job…. Again.
Great video Joe mate 👍
On a rebuild like this, I’d love to see you send the piston off to Line2Line coatings for their piston skirt treatment.
You going to do any more videos on the fl350 I just picked one up love that buggy
Tip: when in the drill checking for straight put some WD40 on and turn while holding a Scotbrite pad on it… works pretty good!
It’s crazy how this guy knows how to work on everything
Ikr...must of started when he was 4
All comes from just getting in there and starting. Remember. someone, somewhere can fix it.

Try using oven off for the carbon, works really well

When torqueing to yield marking the socket may be easier to see, just a thought.
No need to

Good job Joe !! A sweet machine !!
Hi Joe,
Hope your thinking about the land?
It will be going to seed.
The farmer used to look after the plain field.
Thats a lot of land management to deal with.
Farmer isn't using it anymore.so it doesn't matter.
Got that sorted & the dog is back!
Great video Joe!
I opened my bottom ring gap .002"-.003" on my 08 YZ450F. The bottom ring should have a larger gap when compared to the top ring.
I was hoping you would have put one of the new rings in the old cylinder and measured the ring gap so we could see how much it was worn
Wow. It works good without a clutch cable!! Are you able to cut back the wire spring part and weld on a new end to the steel wire to fix it?
Or buy a new one, which he should have done before the rebuild
Re Ring gap and number of times you have to check bikes. Explain how ring gap changes, for those who don’t know:).
Joe great video have a blessed day and dont let the haters get to u your doing a great job
Joe you're gonna need a second story added to that garage so you gotta place to put all that money 😉😉😉

There's no need to replace the chain it's not bad. The guide was worn only thing that needs to be replaced.
Would a little magnet, like one that for picking up miscellaneous things work. Like the little ones that retract?
