      he kinda is my inspiration in the way im doing the same 3 years ago i didnt know shit about bikes and quads now i can do basic shit bearing brakes check spark
      but not rebuild a engine yet am not there but i did rebuild 2 times my kx80 but bad but i still did it and it broke 2 times and now its one it 3rd time to seaze cause i do dumb shit. but i learn you learn with time. just need a garage to try and rebuild engines...

    Not sure if you’re aware Joe, but these older Polaris have a fuel sight gauge through the side plastic since the tank is translucent(for the most part), it’s right under the 4x4 decals.

    Great vid! I bought my son a Polaris Sawtooth a few years back (2WD, 200cc, 4-stroke), and that thing also is a blast to drive. It has always been 100% dependable. It must have the same or similar CVT transmission yours does. It has never failed. I'd keep that one.

    If you still have this machine check the drive belt, maybe show how to take it off and if it's good throw it back on. If it needs replacement you'll have one of the only vids showing it being done. Do a before and after speed run, certainteed you'll gain some MPH.

    On that dirt bike I helped put that wiring Condit on there to help protect the wiring. Like you could do on those broken soldered wires with the shrink wrap to help prevent it from breaking again.,or getting snagged off. With small sections precut to fit over those wires neatly to with zip strips.,known as zip ties to.

  • @timgrede6845
    @timgrede6845 2 роки тому +6

    When soldering you might try to strip your wire ends shorter. Instead of twisting your wire interlace the wire from the ends, as it gives more contact area to solder and higher flow of electricity. It also is closer to the OEM wire diameter. It makes a much neater repair and you can use smaller/less shrink wrap and go with the boat water sealed shrink wrap for about the same price.

    • @CLPRPSD
      @CLPRPSD 2 роки тому +1

      And use a little flux on the wire and heat the wire until the solder melts into it, to draw it into the joint and make a solid connection

    running without a battery can lead to overvoltage depending on the design of the electrical systems. this applies to all atv's and dirt bikes . some have a seperate lighting coil for the lights and some are powered off the battery. if you turn on key and it's not running and headlight doesn't come on you have a lighting circuit. if headlight comes on with key on you have battery powered light. if headlight doesn't come on not running with key on and you start it and lights come on you have the sperate lighting circuit that does not require a battery.

    @sandmanbub 2 роки тому +3

    Heat the soldering iron, then tin it (put some solder on the tip) to aid heat transfer to the wires. Heat the wires, not the solder. When the wires are hot enough, the solder will melt onto and in between the metal strands making a good weld that will not act like a resistor lol. Always heat the wire and let the wire melt the solder. Place separate heat shrink tubes on each wire. If you like, you can also put a larger heat shrink tube over both. Been doing this since the mid 70's.

    Your partially correct that running polaris 4 wheelers without a battery will blow the bulbs.But it is because doing so fries the voltage regulator and then it sends to much voltage and burns out the bulb.Learned this the hard way. Let someone borrow my scrambler 500.Battery went bad and they were pull starting it which is fine.But tje bad battery caused te voltage regulator to go out and when I got back was told the lights didn't work.Machine was putting out 16v at idle. Needless to say a battery voltage regulator and two headlights later im good.Need to start it and check voltage again or you'll be replacing lights again.

    As you were cleaning this 4x4, I noticed in the background a sign on the building across form where you were. The sign reads Rexall drugs. My grandmother had several sisters and one was named Ruth. their last name was Exhall. She was dating a guy who was going to school to become a pharmacist. I think that he named his drugstore Rexhall drugs. BTW, good job on this project 4x4. Let us know what was wrong with the dirt bike.

    I love the channel. I have a 94 Polaris 400 4x4 exactly like the one in this video. It doesn’t want to run with the choke off. I cleaned and rebuilt the carb is it a fuel issue?
