It is good to see your mechanics skills evolution throughout the years. At the beginning you used to do a lot of wrong practices but you listened to the critics and improved in it. I really like your videos brother, keep doing the good work!
I give you A lot of Credit Joe. There are many people who flip Quads that would have just retorqued the head bolts and put stop leak into the radiator and sell it. You on the Other hand do the right thing and diagnose to the root and repair it..
my ex wife bought one of these brand new back in 2002.. Surprisingly really quick back in the day. I'll bet the head just needs to be resurfaced when you rip apart. Either way still worth the tear down.. Super fun quad to rip in the snow with the push button 4wd
Waushara joe .... I noticed too in the beginning when you took the radi cap off there was a bit of glitter in the coolant not sure if you noticed or not... Keep up the great work your an inspiration to me as a former resident of your area!!!💯💯
Props to you, it is a far bigger job than I would tackle. My patients would choose to replace the engine. Thanks for all the teaching/learning moments.
I had a buddy back in the day when these were new that had one identical to this one. Seeing this immediately flashed me back to when he hit a road approach going way way way too fast 🤣 it flew so far and so many things broke! They might be a “sport” quad but they ain’t made for jumping 👍
I don’t know how I found this channel but I have been watching a month now and I don’t even own a atv or a utv but I think I’m ready to buy one and try my luck repairing one now that I got an idea what to look for I just want to say thanks
With that being a two stroke, you can put a pipe on it and really wake it up. I had one of those that I bought brand new back in 98 or 99. I bought an FMF pipe and silencer for it and an HPD clutch kit. Those two items totally transformed the quad. It ripped! I was drag racing and beating pretty much any sport quad of the day.
The second I saw that coolant spraying up while you were doing throttle checks, and saw that white smoke, I was yelling HEADGASKET! at the screen lol. I've had the white smoke monster claim a few race engines in my vehicles over the years. I feel for ya. Never fun.
Joe worth a quick video to review projects waiting for parts. It's getting hard to keep up. Also itchy boots is starting up and has made a custom Tenirife built for her in Germany. Might be a project you could copy cat on.
You’re wearing a hoodie. Weather must be changing up north. Still gym shorts and tee shirts here in Florida. I’m wondering where you store all your “fleet” that you repair. Great work, I enjoy watching you work.
🤔Noted that also, and I'm from Minnesota - right next door. Sweatshirt and shorts - midwest look. Been cool, 40s-50s - Fall like this week, nice not having on heat or the AC
Was very pleased at the seemingly good fix especially after so much blue smoke was coming out. That $900 might get equalised if the cylinder is cracked. Looking forward to the leak down test, where you should be able to make an accurate decision. Good luck :)
Cap full of that simple green goes a long way 😁. Dude, I wouldn't be putting my fingers in that crap. Jesus poison 😁 I think your liver hates you for it 😁
Just a question why don't you do what every one else does when they have a engine that won't start they shoot some starter fluid down throat of carb or into combustion chamber if it fires up for a few seconds they know they have spark and compression so they go straight to fuel as the problem mostly ?
You need to invest in a fiber optic scope. Even one you can attach to your phone. They are fairly inexpensive anymore and this way you'll be able to look down into the cylinder through the spark plug hole or any area you want to look at really that you have little access to.
Hey mate, love the channel, perhaps you could help me, I have a 2004 Polaris trail boss 330, I need an exhaust for it (all but tail pipe) issue is I’m in the uk and there are no Polaris dealers here , and it’s extremely rare here to so no used parts available, any suggestions of USA parts suppliers that could ship to the uk ? I’m happy with used parts , or could you source and ship if I paid ? Thank you Tom
he has almost half a million youtube subscribers and makes money off these builds no doubt so it would be crazy if he also had another job on the side, this will be for sure his living AND what a sick way of doing so 🙌🏻🔥
Farm Hog Never seen a Bubble Bath In it’s Life , is that Greasy oily , or Just Pig Cow Pies and 15 Year old Mud , and Cow Pies and Hog Blood deer Blood , it’s Probably got lots of Run Hrs on it , But not Ridden Hard that Plug Looked Carbon Built ThePiston and Rings Also Heavy Carbon seaFoam and Marvel Mystery could clean internals enough for another 90 -150 Hrs, Maybe

He basically does that. He does the bare minimum, especially, on bikes he’s got torn apart anyways. He has no idea how to clean
The moment Joe popped the radiator cap open at 5:40, I zoomed in real hard and saw the "glitter" I yelled "IT HAS STOP LEAK IN IT!" "BLOWN HEEEEAD!" 😅
Alumaseal😮
That was Either stop leak or the sign of 2 stroke getting mixed in with the coolant
I continue to be impressed that you’re now washing the project before you start working on it.

its fun too watch you fix theses classic atv and dirt bikes from minnesota moved too florida but family in wisconsin got a cabin on long lake
Interesting that it ran so well and went back to the same problem. Looking forward to seeing what you discover in the teardown. 👍

I love that you washed all that crud off the bike
It's not a bike.
How often do you buy and fix things up...once a week.. .u do a great job..
Those were bad ass back in the day.
Does Joe fix all these machines and sell them? He puts out so much great content.
He lists them on FB marketplace, I follow him as a seller there
Joe worth a quick video to review projects waiting for parts. It's getting hard to keep up.
Also itchy boots is starting up and has made a custom Tenirife built for her in Germany.
Might be a project you could copy cat on.
Kudos to whoever told you about using that punch👍
Good job Joe. You gave it a bath before working on it.
I find the low compression ones will start with a little starting fluid, and once they have some heat they will run.
I agree with you Joe it should run with 110 compression

@@thebigguy8306I live in central Florida. Been through two major hurricanes this month. Not fun, but no reason to move. 😄
I'm from NC and a few nights ago it was 26. Florida's heat is miserable imo unless it's winter. Lately we've been lucky to see 55 or 60.
Love the punch trick you put me onto something there

Bummer man, hope its just the gasket. great find again, hi5
The front brake lever is for front and back.
check the gas in the tank make sure it is just gas maybe before you take it apart.
Hello Joe, Love your videos. But your fruit trees need to be in full sunshine. Dig them up move them to the sunny side of your field.
Cap full of that simple green goes a long way 😁. Dude, I wouldn't be putting my fingers in that crap. Jesus poison 😁 I think your liver hates you for it 😁
Great channel. Interesting and a lot of learning to be done.
Brilliant video Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧
BRO IT WAS POSTED 2 MINUTES AGOE YOU DID NOT WATCH IT YET LIL BRO
i sold mine 2 years ago for $1200 and mine was running great plastics were in great shape
Your loss
Just a question why don't you do what every one else does when they have a engine that won't start they shoot some starter fluid down throat of carb or into combustion chamber if it fires up for a few seconds they know they have spark and compression so they go straight to fuel as the problem mostly ?
Happy Days Joe Has Posted 🔥🔥🔥

Here's an idea, finish one before starting 2 more. 😂
WTH? I can’t believe it crapped out after that ride.
Hi Joe watching this video from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Use purple simple green HD, it’s a little bit better than the green for carbs
A broken Polaris? Tell me it's not true! 😲
Strange issue with the plug, ever seen that happen on any of your other quads/engines?
That thing needs the jug off for inspection & new rings/piston maybe.
Hey mate, love the channel, perhaps you could help me, I have a 2004 Polaris trail boss 330, I need an exhaust for it (all but tail pipe) issue is I’m in the uk and there are no
Polaris dealers here , and it’s extremely rare here to so no used parts available, any suggestions of USA parts suppliers that could ship to the uk ? I’m happy with used parts , or could you source and ship if I paid ?
Thank you

Hi Joel get your self a sniff test kit they’re cheap and would help you a lot too sniff for gas in your coolant PS great videos 👍
I’m saying this at the first of the video 900 is a good deal I always liked 😊them
Never understand why people get rid of machines over a simple carb cleaning. ???
Hi Joe ,for compression test,wots the point of having the throttle open?Great find brother!🤔👍💪🤝🇬🇧🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
So it won't choke off air flow into the cylinder causing false (low) compression readings.....
Anyone else seen the videos on Berrymans B 12 treatment to unstick rings?
Looks good!
There known having water pump issues maybe it got hot at one time
full of gas in the bottom end?. there used to be drains in the bottom end to drain them, not sure on this engine.
That's a K&N air filter. Clean and re-oil it.
The plastic welding, what if it fails and those little wires get sucked into the engine?
Or you can JPWeld the air filter cage. JPWeild is a super appoxy glue. People have been known to use it on engines. lol
It’s JB weld…..guessing you’ve never actually used it.
FINISH THE WOODEN FRAME DIRT BIKE!!!!!
Definitely had to take my oil pump off and pre mix my gas
It’s a good looking bike
Hey Joe. What do you actually do for a living. Thanks love your videos
he has almost half a million youtube subscribers and makes money off these builds no doubt so it would be crazy if he also had another job on the side, this will be for sure his living AND what a sick way of doing so 🙌🏻🔥
This is it. He makes quite a bit of money from UA-cam
@@AN4MERif that’s the case he is living the dream.
He makes a very good living on here.. With all the subscribers and the views, my guess would be half a million dollars a year..
Wot dream is that?😱😱👀🇬🇧😬🇬🇧🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦@brianmooney7009
Always back bleed with a syringe on motorcycles or off-road
i had a spots 400 ex
OK, WHERE'S YOUR DOG?
i love the Polaris 😍
Wow that is nice for 900
New plug???
those older pooolarises are such junk
How much quad bike you got
stock pistons r junk skirts break
