The torn boot is why it locked the first time. Painted over sight glass so you couldn’t see the mixed oil. 😂
Looks like he put the bike in a pond
See Joe, this is another reason why I watch your channel. Even on a Sunday I can count on a new video from you. Husqvarnas have gotten a little more complicated to work on. You're a capable guy and I know you'll do what it takes to get it back in service. Thanks again for your time today.
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it!
I remember being able to unload a bike like you do joe , now I need a step ramp lol and use it all the time , reminds me of my age ase I turned 54 today 😅 I have been racing since 1977 and still going strong, just like your videos dude !! Thank you again
I'm 59 and disabled so I have to stick to my trailer from now on, going to have to build a deck on the back of my camper at some point. lol
Happy Birthday! I watch old Joe bending, twisting, pulling and I need to take a Tylenol. Reminded of Ergonomics taught to dental students, fitting the job to the worker.
Happy birthday Mike !
That is awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Love watching you diagnose and repair. Very skilled and methodical guy. Could watch this all day! Keep it up!
Skilled?
@@koertvanengelen2395i would say so. i couldn’t take apart my 450 like this guy takes them apart. 😊
Man… That was a huge split in the intake manifold. Ain't no way he was going to "jet" around that!!! at least not properly. People really need to do things the way you do… Slow and methodical and really look at some of the more obvious things that get looked over. Nice job. Just from watching your videos, I would imagine there are thousands of people out there that will always check their intake manifold when tuning up and working on their bikes. 👍
Yes big time lean condition extended speed run and burn a hole in the piston
Thanks for watching, and thank you for commenting! I appreciate it so much!
I tried that and I would never recommend that lol just fix your shit
When you are pouring oil from the bottle, keep the 45 degree shoulder on the bottle down. Your oil will flow better.
Oh good we get a see part 2. At least it runs . We get to see the clutch then and maybe more.
I enjoy this kind of in depth repair.
Thank you for watching!
The *intake manifold* is one of the first parts no longer available OEM on about every bike made. Unless one can find NOS stock part still around. They get dropped very quickly.
I love watching your videos. I'm always learning something new. Nice to let play in the background while I'm working. Really appreciate no cussing.
You might want to wear safety glasses when wiring with gas lines.
I have been procrastinating on cleaning out the carb on my yamaha tw200. This is encouraging me to get it out of the shed and get started.
I love Husqvarna bikes ! I have 5 of them and race all of them ! This particular bike is a cagiva with husky decals as cagiva owned the marquee at the time !! Great video Joe I love this one , means a lot to me !! Absolutely wonderful to see this 👏 thank you again for entertaining us with your videos 📹
No way...
CAGIVA?!!
What a weird little niche company they are. Had no idea they owned Husqy though. Woulda been nice to see them resurrect Cannondale's quad division too.
Thanks for watching! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!
@@jeredalmeida1880 today Husqvarna are owned by KTM, since 2013.
You are an outstanding very intelligent mechanic with excellent knowledge and diagnostic ability to make clear determination of what need be corrected to take care of all aspects of mechanical projects. Congratulations for all your abilities and I salute you every time. Many wish they could do what you do so very well. !!
Finally got a husky yes brother I have the wr 300 09 model it's amazing that pipe is in great condition get a pipe guard for it to protect it that is a very low hr machine there's no boot wear on the side of the cases
Personally, I don't like paying over $1000 for anything that doesn't run
@@martinbarrscrf4502 if I can guarantee that's all it needs. Sure.
Honestly a lot of the issues are fairly cheap fixes when a person has your motivation which is crazy...so honestly this was a good deal.
Thats why 2 strokes rule. Way easier to work on. Plus I'm old school, thats all we had that was fast. Unless you wanted a xr or xl Honda slug. Bring em back i say.
Hey man, just wanted to say I watch your channel everyday.
I probably watched all your videos and your a great mechanic.
I’ve seen your skills improve from your earlier videos to the more recent ones and I have learned a lot from you so thanks and keep em’ coming bro!
Yep. I really dig your videos. I had Wrx 430 was an absolute beast! Made in Sweden. The rims were made in Norway. I loved that bike but a lot of parts were hard to source and the manifold was a true unicorn that I did finally find. The power band came in at high RPMs and lord have mercy...
I hope it is just a water pump seal...
The alternatives are pretty depressing 😢
Good luck sourcing Husqvarna parts...😮
Love how Vinnie runs off down there as soon as you pull away. He loves his dirt biking.
FYI when you come across contaminated coolant and oil use just water for test runs and used filtered used oil instead of wasting good coolant and oil. Pressure test radiator to test for water pump o-ring failures and radiator leaks.
Looking forward to the next video on this. Also can’t wait for the big bore racing bike video. Wondering if you figured out why it won’t start. Great work man. 💪🏼
Top tip of the day for grips use hairspray works as a lubricant when wet and drys fast when dry works as a glue. Spray plenty on the bar works like a treat every time. Mega vids by the way love the content
400 euro for a top end is mad i found a WOSSNER one for 80 in my country
I used to work on boats as well as 2smokes, and on manifold cracks I used an underwater sealant like 3M 5200 or Sikaflex after seeing it still act like rubber 20y under sea water and impossible to chisel out.
Even around exhaust header temps this thing lasted long.
I wish I could get these finds here!!
always a great story on your motor bikes that you buy👍it's amazing how bloody cold it is in that part of the world you wouldn't need a fridge to keep your beer cold good luck mate 💤💤💤
We are hoping for some warmer weather this week! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
@@2vintage It's OK mate I don't need any prizes thanks for the offer restoration of anything is fantastic and it's all about learning and gaining knowledge and understanding how things operate learning is never -ending
Huskies and montessa, did massive trials bike's.....they were back in the day, the 🐕.....not soo much on the motocross side. Good lad my friend. And once again massive thanks and respect 🙏 🫡
Adding oil to cylinder makes it basically hydro lock that’s why it boosted the compression so much run it ride it check it again could have just been low cause it’s been sitting
Another bike saved and brought back to life 😎👊❤️🇬🇧
To save gaskets on things like reed cages i find that breaking them loose by tapping the cage sideways usually prevents the gasket from tearing. Also gasoline cleans foam filters very quickly and dries fast.
Gas also breaks down air filter foam and glue over time.
@@tonym5680 yeah but not from a quick clean. It takes a while.
I would have used automotive silicon sealer on that boot. Epoxy hardens and cracks again. Open up the crack, squirt in silicon, wipe off excess, and warm up with a hair-dryer to fast-cure the silicon.
you need to make a sandblasting cabinet and you need a parts washer and to get more ventilation to protect vinnie - the husky was a great pickup - train vinnie with tiny treats and he will get much more obedient - more than likely
Haha we have tried just about everything with Vinnie! He is extremely strong willed, but still a good buddy! Thanks for the suggestion!
Joe brother you just amaze me how you know about all kinds of different motorcycles and quads. I know I could definitely troubleshoot a bike now set valves , jet a carb !!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
No internet for over a week was getting withdrawal syndrome Glad to be back watching again joe few issues with the bike mate but not too bad after all you will fix it for sure vinny is some dog lol take care 👍🔧🔧🔧👌❤️
I had a WR360 from that era. My clutch felt weird when I got it, turned out the basket was a bit notched out. Light filing took care of it. My 360 was a 6 speed, I'm fairly certain.
Epic video. U had her up and running in no time man awesome. Nothing like a little 2 stroke action keep the videos coming. 😮
Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
12 minutes in, exploding nasty coolant, milky oil, and gas in the eye, followed by dropping a bolt. I’ve watched you for over a year now and never seen a series of unfortunate events like that 🤣🤣. And you still don’t give up. Time to finish the video lol. Definitely going to be another great one
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Another score for you…I always wanted a husky,I saw a lot of them in baskets…that kept me off them..nice to c you wher ing a helmet..you have a lot of followers now,that sets a fine example…
Bravo on the grease the filter seal That's a classic old-school beauty of a trick
Thanks for the phone notification sounds! ... "wait.. is that my phone?" heheh
Your knowledge of motorcycle works is astounding
That means a lot! Thank you!
Hey Joe...I use a USB endoscope attached to my phone or tablet for looking into those hard to reach spots. They're about $30 or so, have a light and are super handy to have around. I use it for all kinds of things where it's difficult to see into or get at. That could help you peek into those hard to get areas.
Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
Nice video! Do yourself a favor and get a cylinder leakdown tester, it is a more accurate way of measuring wear on the rings and cylinder than just a compression test. They aren't that expensive either.
You didn't tighten the compression tester . Probably Leaked compression from not clinching it up.
What helps with these videos if you are a "new learner" and really want to learn what he is doing, is to download the specific repair manual from the Internet for the specific bike and outline what he is measuring, testing and working on and then everything will make sense. Thank you 2vintage as loyal fans we love you !
I’ve learned some things about my own motorcycle from your videos. Thanks! But one question…… where do you live because the weather always looks terrible. 😂
The manifold being split would be one of the causes for the rings being bad. Imagine how much dirt got sucked in.
I’d bet the top needs to be re done, coolant system flushed, it’s caked with whatever was in the coolant, jetting sounds like a weird combination, the plug wire is unreliable. All the hoses hard, auto parts store stuff with screw clamps too large. She’s a rehab special, looks like a nice project though provided parts are still around.
Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
shoe goo!!!!!! works like a charm for fixing those boots!!!
The only drawback to fixing an older bike is “rebuild kit if they still sell them” exactly!
you wont beat motul filter cleaner, i highly recommend trying it, it gets everything out and once rinsed the filter is like new, best stuff on the market by a country mile, their filter oils are top notch too
I had the wr125 and the inlet manifold was split on that .they are really hard to find used ones where going for over $100 +post it was a 2011 really tidy bike but never ran properly. Good content as usual 👍👍👌
Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you turn the oil bottle around it flows better.
I was hoping it wasn't that seal but definitely worth the fix those are pretty fast bikes
Amazing dirt bike, I can't believe it started that easy!!!.... super cool man. Love what you do man.
Thanks man! I appreciate that so much!
Filter cleaner: castrol super clean, spray down and let soak in it for bout 20 minutes, then hot water and dawn dish soap make it perfect again.
. Let dry spray filter oil on. Run.
That turned into a great deal! Only thing I would have done different is filled it with water, ran it like you did then drain and put antifreeze back
ive seen that color- in outboard motor gearcases😀😀
Ohhh man I was buzzing when it started rite up . Carnt you open the water pump housing? Wind off the impeller ? I'm sure the few I've done was just a rubber seal behind that slots into a recess
Farmer brought in a 1962 ski doo twin track. Ugly thing but it does still run, wants us to rebuild top end and maybe whole motor. He uses it as a utility sled to haul hay out to his cows. Gonna be fun.
Literally, THE hardest working guy on YT!👍👍👍
That truly means so much to me! Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
Yea Joe is a beast very smart guy I'm learning so much
Oh man...good luck getting parts for that thing...but love uour ability to find such deals..around me everyone thinks they have something worth way more than they are. ..that's why I got out of flipping bikes..but in your case I am sure the UA-cam revenue helps buy the projects.😁👍
I was thinking the same thing, rare bikes - like rare cars - okay where are you going to get parts
Covid ruined the market
You so lucky you find all the best things for the best prices but you also put in the work and knowledge to so why wouldn't you I like to buy a bike off you one of these times if possible.
😊 thanks for the 2 stroke video means a lot
I've been looking forward to seeing you do one of these cause I'm about to have to do it to mine
Thanks for watching! I hope that the video helps!
uaha... got my husky by the exactly same way...the last owner crashed it and never used it anymore, mine was forgotten for 10 years in a shed. Gave to me just before scrapping it. I also had to replace te pump seal, a little mess, but pretty straight forward.
lol can remember the breaker bar being kx85 handle bars correct me if wrong
The clutch feels funny cause of the oil you put in it, them huskys like Amsoil synthetic and again gear oil not motor oil trust me. I had a 92 360wr as did my Pop and another friend of our had a 2000 250WR and they all worked best with the Amsoil
Love your videos joe ive fixed so many quads and bikes because of them ive been watching for about 5 years ive seen every video you've put out i miss the ones at your parents with chuck keep up the good work anyway all the best from Newcastle upon tyne mate
Thank you for watching the videos! That means so much to me, and I appreciate it greatly!
@@2vintage your very welcome mate I'll watch for aslong as you keep putting them out people can learn alot from you
I'm new to the channel an I learned alot I just bought a 2003 125 yz an it doesn't have 2 gear so it's at shop I paid 1900 hundred Facebook
I've got the Husky FE 501 at the ranch in Montana.
What a beast!
Vinnie Bear is so cute. I just love that dog. He just makes me smile when he's on camera even though I'm here for the machines 😂🙏😁
He is a good dog with a great personality! We love him a lot!
Come on this has to be a full restoration! One questions! This will make ur channel explode! Full restoration with full detail of wht you doing right and wrong! Don’t forget we all here with different knowledge to help! I am really good at this stuff
Water pump seal you need a bottom end rebuild top end gaskets pull through motor and rebuild it.
Great vid as always! Hopefully it’s just that water pump seal leaking! Glad to see it runs so well with such a pond in the bottom end tho! Thing rippsss, Great Job!!
Thank you for watching! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!
I got a fully built RM125 by trading a cheap cell phone for it about 10 years ago in Pennsylvania haha i think the phone was like $55 brand new lol they just didn't want the bike and needed a phone. It was that simple. The bike still runs like a beast to this day too. Even though i dont ride as much as i used too, it's still fun to jump on every once in a while.
Id like to see u get a bore camera an check out the pistons an cylinder on these projects.
I clean the washable air filters with simple green. Works well.
Hi there really enjoy learning from watching your videos.. Question Do you ever sell any of these bikes after your done working - played on them .
Hey bro! Im starting my first project bike soon (dr200). I love your videos, very informative! Im just wondering, how do you have all those replacement o rings in your garage? Do most motorcycles use the same size o rings or do you go buy them each time? May be a stupid question but im trying to learn! Ride on
4 carburetor cleaning you should get an ultrasound a gallon of industrial carburetor cleaner cost about forty or fifty dollars and torch tip files
Gotta admit, when you first accelerated between those t-posts I had an instant pucker moment lol
You found the fastest way to make friends with the neighbors. Move to country to hear you rev bikes all day 😂. Next year will be neighborhood meeting. I know this because Iam you . And soon to be me 😂. Good job on the work
What a channel. Very good work man!!
WR husky 250 looks not to bad fella be very interesting to see what happens when you go right into it 👍🇬🇧
I have that exact bike mine is 2003 Husqvarna wr 250 it comes as a road trail and they go very good for its age
I love your content, this video was extra sweet since I just bought a Husqy recently. Love the bike and I hope you work on some Husqy 4 strokes in the future!
Thank you for watching! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!
I've always used gas to clean my filters. Works great! Just make sure to gently squeeze out the excess gas and then I wash it with dish soap and hot water. People have told me that gas will dissolve the glue that holds the filter together. Has yet to happen to any filter I have ever used. Plus those filter cleaning solutions are expensive.
Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
love this ch mate you have shown me so much i have seen all most all your vids love them keep it up plz
I bet ur neighbors just love you lmao. Great Video as always and great diagnosing the problem and getting ole girl running again
The oil was all creamy and we're putting grips on, must already have it listed on market place.
12:07 You can hear the fuel not only get your eye, but the mic as well as it fizzles while evaporating hahaha
I had a 2000 Husqvarna TE 610. Bought it for 2k rode it on street for 3 years. But the quest for parts was an absolute nightmare. Had to order from Uk,Greece,Austria absolute nightmare.
Hi Joe, I am currently, litterally binging all your content.... I'm confused by this vid and maybe I missed it... but I did not see you repairing the coolant/oil mixing issue??
Curious on machine count, seems like u gotta new machine each upload😅😅, love it keep it up. ive learned quite abit watching you. Thanks for that aswell. My quad count is up to 7 . I knew next to nothing few years ago, bless your soul. Nd vinny reminds me sm of my old pup😢
I think that I have worked on over 1,000 machines since I started the UA-cam channel! Thank you for watching! I am glad that you enjoy the videos!
If it's a big bore its a 293 cc so it's basically a wr 300 if the bore is 72 mm the manifolds are 100
I had a 2002 husky CR125 it was one of my favorite bikes of all time top 2 best I had
Hello ther iam Robin from Sweden i love your videos. An iam a motocross driver. And this Husqvarna it`s a Swedish bike Swedish brand :D
Great job, Joe! Thanks for this video.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
For installing tight grips, spray the handle down with windex or other window cleaner. It lubricates then evaporates.
Thank you for the suggestion!
cheap, aqua net hairspray, starts wet then sticks like glue, never had grip slip, it is cheap at any drug store or wal mart. had 6 sisters grew up in 80s always had a huge free supply LOL the hair decade.
you need to flush the oil buddy. it will take a min of 3 flushes coolant system to it may have oil in it
