- Here I repair a broken big mouth billy bass that I picked up locally at a thrift store. The head turning movement is not working correctly. Let’s try to fix it!
To find the correct size gear, count the teeth on the original broken gear, and order accordingly.

Very useful, thank you so much for this!
You’re welcome! I hope this helps you repair the head movement on your big mouth Billy bass.
Bravo! This is exactly what you said it was and sure enough there was the crack. Thanks! I would have NEVER noticed that tiny crack on my own!
You're welcome!
Nice video as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
what i did instead is use the original cracked gear but i super glued it to the motor shaft. It's very ghetto but it worked on both Billys
That’ll work! Great job!
Mine has the exact same problem as this one, but this video will come in handy to fix mine.
As a year later, I found out that mine had another broken gear in the head, which is unfortunate. This is a result of it accidentally falling.
I have one to I'm figuring out how to fix it
replaced the gear and this worked for me as well
Something pretty ironic happened to me, I found one at a flea market, and the only thing that was broken was the tail, and it wasnt the gear! The tail paddle was cracked.
Yeesh! Congrats on finding one! Can you fix it?
OMG rare gemmy reversed Billy Bass!!!!
Does this method also repair the 2004 Billy Bass Jr? I have two that are broken.
Curious if you have an suggestion for fixing a demon voice happening half way through a song. Just a cleaning of the boards or need a new speaker or is it un fixable, thanks!
What I use sometimes that sometimes helps is some circuit board cleaner. It’s it’s called “QD electronic cleaner” by the company CRC. It’s safe for sensitive electronics and you can get it at your local auto parts store.
@@lakewi44 thanks!
Well this video is helpful but I'm dealing with another issue it's that when he turns his head he stops singing. Otherwise the tail, head and mouth work well. I wonder how you fix this when your Billy bass stops singing when turning his head.
I just bought a Billy bass off eBay and the head doesn't work. Hopefully, this will help when it comes!
awesome!
Thanks!
Sorry for the late comment, but what motor should I buy for a 2004 Billy Bass Jr? I haven't been able to get a lead on where to get one anywhere. All I know is that it has to be 6V DC (brushless too, if that means anything).
Try looking up Stevens International 1.5 to 3v DC Small Electric Motor (Round Can) they make a bunch of small stuff for Hobby parts and things. I bought a couple of oval-shaped motors a while back ago. Perhaps they have the motor you are looking for
I just found one at my local thrift store still in the box for $8. All I have to do is repair the gears in the head and it’ll fully work
That’s great!
My mouth on my Billy bass stopped moving how do I fix it?

@@lakewi44 THANK YOU
@@thevastdragon4985 you’re welcome
What if the gear falls of of the shaft and gets stuck in the gearbox
If you can see it in the gearbox, you can use a precision screwdriver that's of similar size to the motor shaft. to kind of fish it out by poking at the gear and carefully lifting the gear out. It's tricky, but it can be done
@@lakewi44ok because I found a jsny big mouth rainbow trout well the company claims it is a trout but it is a bass LoL from a thrift shop and the head gear is split but I will try
@@lakewi44 I fixed it the gear stayed on the motor shaft
@@Gemmy2004snowmiserandfriends that's great! You did a great job!
@@lakewi44 even though it took a 9 tooth gear I put a ten tooth gear in it because it was the only type gear I had and it worked perfectly
Great video but you need to flip it. Its a mirror image.
I tried flipping it in my editor that I use but it wouldn’t import if I flipped it.
Annoying eh!
Audio barely audible.Any tips on how to repair
Try changing the speaker, otherwise it may be a component on the circuit board
It’s still not working properly. The head needs to come out a little bit further.
Double check behind the head that the fabric isn't stuck. Sometimes the fabric will get stuck to the plaque.
HOw do U put THe sKIN on aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Start by putting the skin on the head and line up the mouth with the mouthpiece you might have to oven the mouth a little to lone up the piece and then carefully stretch the skin over the tail mech.
@@china-fakecollector5621 thanks but I was joking lol I fixed all my fish
I took the skin off my knockoff 15 year billy bass the other day because I don't really like him
@@secondbestsull7541 I said i did it because i didn't like him
@@Sharkpu8 Do you have the real Gemmy one?
@@secondbestsull7541 No, I found one of ebay but it was too much money + i just got into fish collecting
