The dealership mechanics did their job as they are expected to.... they steered the customer to the new sales department.
:))
As an underpaid dealership tech, you couldn't be more wrong.
Sales makes 3-5x what we make a month.
Fuck sales.
@romulusxyz6722 "Sales makes 3x to 5x what we make a month."
Yeah, that's pretty typical of what it's like here, too.
That's why the dealerships want their "underpaid mechanics" to steer customers with repair issues toward the sales department. Sales brings in more revenue.
If they aren't doing that where you're employed, you are the exception, not the rule. And that's good to hear.
@@jackreisewitz6632 Eh I guess I was pretty brash in my reply. I've been a mechanic for about 2 years now, left the IT field after 16 years for something new. That being said, I don't know as much about it as I sounded like I did, sorry man.
But fortunately my company doesn't push us towards sales, it just pisses me off how much more they make.
I'm a watercraft mechanic, and I see some tickets go up to $5,000+. It's disheartening seeing those tickets over and over and then seeing my check every two weeks.
Think it's about time to go back to IT. I was making six figures there. The flipside is that I enjoy being a mechanic more than an IT Security guy. Decisions, decisions man.
Let's give up and let clem say he fixed it. 😂
This has become hands-down the best hands-on channel for anyone to learn how to work on their equipment congratulations God bless
Agreed, the detail thought, not focused on him
I would only add that a clean working environment is very important, BEFORE opening any engine. Taking a few minutes to pressure wash and blow dry the engine bay so you are not introducing dirt into the engine, not only makes for a nice clean area to work on, it saves tool and garage cleanup later and allows you to see cracks and damage that can be hidden by grime.
Looks like the dealership needs better mechanics. Great buy.
But dealer ships have a time limit on trouble shooting. There is a time limit on the books. Whether it is car or sport utility? Dealers want profit. I was usually sent to trouble shoot. And it was rare. Well, I always found the fault. Always. 18 years. Always found it. There were some days
I hated my job
But when it was fixed. I was happy. 18 years of that crap
@@wegmandan why ? they getting paid to fix , isn’t that their job. My mechanic wants $100 per hour dont I get some service
@@Innerlight320Service and repair are two very different things...better learn that.
You’re right about that . Told I needed new throttle body for car was faulting and going into limp mode .They couldn’t fix it so I took it off and cleaned it end of problem . And I’m no mechanic
@@wegmandan sounds like piss poor excuses to me. this just proves why i don't let others touch my stuff when at all possible. Mechanics today are not what they were years ago, especially when it comes to carbs. if i was the previous owner of this machine i would be livid and be down at the dealership showin them this vid and reamin someone sideways. simple jet cleanin got this machine back up to snuff.
I have pretty much the same machine, EFI version a few years newer. I use it around my small farm. Perfect machine for that, I use it even more than the tractor. Put a 2" ball into that receiver and you will find that you can just back it off the trailer and then move that 6x12 trailer to the back of the Teryx. It will tow that trailer like a dream, especially in low gear. Mine will pull the trailer with two 5foot round hay bales on it. Perfect setup, pull the Teryx to a work site on the trailer and then unload the trailer and tow the trailer with the Teryx. I usually have the chainsaw and gas in the dump bed and then fill the trailer with wood. Tailgate is also perfect height for working on the saw when you refill the fuel and sharpen the chain. Fill the dump bed with shovels, saws and drills, and then the trailer with fenceposts, and you have the perfect setup for fencing. It really is a great machine. Way more versatile than a regular 4-wheeler.
You’re the real deal you’re very thorough when you’re checking machines out I work on Small engines and you do very good work
Had one for many years. Best side by side ever made imo. Indestructible. The only thing you have to worry about replacing is the brakes.
I believe you are the only youtuber that is buying a new project every single day. You sir are using that youtube revenue for a purpose. I have yet to be disappointed by your uploads and content because I enjoy watching you do what you love. The passion you have for the motorized toys is undeniable and I too share it with you. I love motors and wheels and when the 2 are combined, it makes for a way to have hella fun. I have a Honda 440 big bore I'm having trouble with and I'm hoping to get it running again in a couple weeks or so when the weather gets nicer. I don't have a place to work on it inside so I have to wait till the nicer weather gets here. I cant wait to ride it again and go full throttle through my neighborhood. You know the neighbors love it. :D Anyways, thanks for your content. I learn things every new video and I can also go back through your uploads and learn anything that has to do with these machines. Thanks.
How much revenue do you think he makes?
I like it because 1) average man projects (
@@greathornedowl3644agreed
For the newbies with chainsaws and cutting firewood,measure your fireplace to see what length wood fits it best,16,18,20,24" etc and get that length bar and chain for your saw,make sure you have the cc size appropriate,and when cutting your firewood simply measure your cuts using the bar making a nick and cut across the nick making the ideal length firewood for your application... also the heavier weight oil one uses in the chain oiler in warmer months means better lubrication for the bar and chain,winter time a lighter weight oil is mandatory the further north one is.. Glad ya got a good deal and price on this sxs and it should last you many many years of miles and smiles and decades if taken care of...
You can use any size bar on the chainsaw. Paint a stripe on the bar for the length firewood you want. I probably wouldn’t cut firewood with a saw smaller then an 18” bar.😊
use protective gear.
especially when you are out alone in the Woods.
a chainsaw makes a mess out of your legs in tenths of a second.
Canola oil is cheaper than bar oil and works better in warm or esp. Cold weather
Glad it's running, sounds good, but, I would recommend running some Chemtool or Seafoam through the top end down the carb throats, no joking it will run way smoother and have increased power. Usually do it on everything we fix her 4 stroke, it's really amazing the difference it makes. At MMI we would spray a fine mist of water through and clear carbon out, this is way healthier and better. Give er a shot... great Job.
It's surprising it had anything more than carb issues, these are typically pretty reliable, shame on the dealership I'm thinking they just wanted to sell a new one
In case you didn't know but the compression tester will hold the built-up psi unless you have taken the Schrader valve out. Just notice that you said that means no bent valve. Great videos
I had the same thought ....but if a valve was bent and open compression would be zero.
that one is definitely a keeper!!! slap the plow on it and build an enclosure, rig up some heat and plow in comfort!!
Dealer: It's not worth fixing.
Also dealer: No worries! We have a lot full of new Kawasakis to sell you right here.
No way that kind of thing ever happens though.
sadly enough it goes a lot like that.. if they don't want to bother, they tell it can't be fixed. real mechanics are hard to find lately
When working on lawn mowers and someone brings in a mower with the issue beige it won’t start or they think it bent a lifter rod it seems that every time that it happens the oil is blacker then coal is and a lifter has stuck!!! I’ve ran across this issue probably a dozen different times and I’d say most or at least 9 to 10 are from the Kawasaki engines that most businesses like to run!!! But as long as the oil is changed in the correct hours of run time and a good oil ram each time I’ve never seen this issue!!! Also some come in with a new mower that they baught the year before and say it won’t start?? The first thing I ask is have you ever taken it back in after buying it to have the valves reset after running the mower for 8 to 10 hours?? Every time the answer is no they never said anything about having them checked!!! I’d go in reset the valves and it would start!!! I bet at least 99 out of a hundred people never have there valves reset after buying a new mower and end up with a no start or the mower having a hard to start issue!!!!
It’s another learning lesson but I’m sure you guys will have not having any trouble selling the car. Just ponder the education you have received in the last year plus having fun while doing it.
The plug for the winch is by winch. Should be by the bumper
On both of my Polaris quads, I put the remote plug-in at the top/rear of the left front fender. Well protected with easy access. I just did one for my 2022 570 Trail. I used an old 4-pin trailer light plug. It is all shiny crome, and has a nice spring-loaded cover to keep the crud out.
Nice find broski! 👌 You could start a business locating special or rare machines for people for a fee and repair if needed! Anyways glad you post often, I love these videos for some reason... maybe it's Vinny? Lol much love brotha.
Edit: I just saw it... CONGRATS ON 300K! 👏
I think Joe does pretty good .He fixes tons of bikes and sells tons of bikes for a profit, so I'd say he's making well over 100k a year
@@michaelmays9292pffft...
Bought one a couple months ago for 1500 with rod knock. Did a full top and bottom end rebuild for 1k and a couple odds and ins and I’m all in for 2800 for a fuel injected teryx, amazing
Another fantastic job, Joe! Thanks for this video! Fun to watch you work and play. Like I'm right there with you.
How pissed would you be if you were the previous owner watching this video & knowing the dealer made you think your ATV was shot so you dumped it! Also casually drives by the hover craft lol
Dealer probably suckered him into buying a new 1
Very pissed indeed.
that hovercraft has been there in so many videos. what a crap buy that was.
building hovercraft video hype, next video titled 'back from the dead'
Sounds like a lawsuit, if this video has factual information.
Great work, Joe. Looks like a good machine for your land. Those mechanics sound incompetent. You did a simple fix and it runs like a top.
That is what I love, those in a decked out garage with $$$ diagnostic equipment, here a humble home mechanic took time
You're really good and a great mechanic. You know what you're doing
Your compression gauge hold’s compression within itself to hold the reading, it has nothing to do with “valves holding”. Just FYI.
Also, if you put some motor oil down the spark plug hole and do another compression test and the compression goes up, that tells you it’s rings/cylinder blow-by causing your low compression.
If you end up replacing internals, might want to consider the $1k 840 big bore kit, seems to be worth it, since so many have made videos, and forum threads about its performance.
It is pretty bad when dealership Mechanics give up on something it took you just a few hours to solve. Goes to show most are not mechanics anymore they are parts replacers. More referred to as plug and play people. Great job.
Can't even state what the issue is. 60 PSI is the spec. Guy says 60. Dealer says compression is bad. "Hey what's the torque specs?" I think it's 2 Uga-duggas. "Thanks".
That is the reason that I do all of my own oil changes and vehicle repairs. I was a heavy equipment mechanic for 45 years.
Moment of silence for the dude who sold it 🤣🤣👌🏼
Joe again great job. I would seriously encourage you to please put a fan in a window or open the overhead door before running a smoke machine without ventilation. My wife's ex-husband died from a very rare cancer caused by gas and oil in the auto mechanic field. I as well as I'm sure other fans don't want to see you get sick breathing that junk in.
Great comment. My brother died from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. Not a fun time.
Try some metal polish, half a Qtip in a drill, cleans and polishes the float seat to a mirror finish. Works awesome.
Well known way to set the valves is to remove spark plug,insert a zip tie in hole and rotate engine until at top dead center after removing valve adjuster caps and look for cam lobes to be facing down away from rocker arms... adjust away,set valves to factory specs even with aftermarket cams unless you've swapped out to hardened aftermarket rockers and then adjust them to the cams and rockers specs and not the oem manufacturers specs...
Had one come in once with a small metal plug from carb that came out, looked like a small soldered plug, got stuck between intake valve and seat. Pulled it out, ran like a champ.
Joe you are absolutely the man I tell my wife all the time there is nothing you can't get running
Don't you think he should have his own shop or be teaching votech
It's a Kawasaki, I'd start with valve clearances. Those are hell on the adjusters, done a few same way, set valves fired up. Start with intake valves.
Once you put the tan work pants on you got down to business and figured it out. Lol. You might have to order a new pair just in case. Can't wait for the next video. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
You are so right.
I’ve learned soooo much from watching the way you diagnose the problems in all your videos. Well done!
Just out of curiosity, how come I never see you use starter fluid?
Congrats on 300,000!!! You deserve it!! You're the hardest working guy on youtube.
You are incredibly talented. I wish I had your knowledge and talent. I am unable to fix things like this. I learned many years ago that I can undo all the screws and bolts but am unable to put the puzzle back together. Clearly I have no skills. This 69 Year old DAV, could sure use your help and experience buying a used 4x4 /side by side and getting it up and running.
the compression gage holds pressure not the valves
Any one that off roads always carry a can of tire seal n a little 12v compressor at least the smart people do the winch control probably plugs into the winch my guess would be if there is no outlet in cab
Nice Joe definitely done well on this one runs like a dream now & never took that much to get it going good definitely worth taking a risk from time to time especially when you have the knowledge to fix it & even if you don't you can learn along way have a marvellous weekend mate take care bro 👊 💨
I enjoy the sound your camera makes when you are zooming in for close ups it sounds sort of analog and adds character to the audio.
Really enjoying the content on this channel lots of different vehicles some of which I've never seen before and regular uploads. 👍👍
I have w Brute Force 750’s. One carb and one EFI. Everything looks the same on the Teryx. Simple motors. People talk a lot of crap about them. Both have been good to me. Check charging voltage at idle and adjust idle speed to be above 13vdc.
I'm going to call you lucky Joe from now on lol. That was a huge score. Love the content in your videos. Keep them coming.
You are a excellent mechanic bud. The dealer saw the weak compression and didn't even go any further with the diagnosis except push the customer to the sales department or a new rebuild.
Can’t wait for the goldwing and vw videos thanks Joe
"It's holding" is not the engine valve, it's the Schrader valve in the compression tester hose. Also, be careful with just letting plug wire dangle while doing a compression test. If the secondary ignition finds a different path to ground, it can actually cause something called carbon tracking allowing the spark to follow the track rather than through the spark plug.
Get a hole saw and make a hole in the plastic above the radiator cap, works great for piece of mind. They handle larger tyres, suspension is built like a small car. Heavy duty plus. Tow hitch will haul the Polaris and others around the trails all day. They might not be fast but they are tough.
You are a VERY TALENTED PERSON. And a LOT OF PATIENCE
Love the channel, great networking. Engine OUT? Could a mini-truck be in your future?
I used to blow everything out . Need to boil or soak carbs not wipe stray and put back together
I could watch your videos all day long. The constant uploads are amazing.
I think your the first person to get a deal at the dealership, nice work and nice machine.
Have the same motor in my brute force. Have the same winch set up and it's on the side next to the ignition. Mine is an efi and the sending unit has a "filter screen" on the middle of the unit that cloggs and is an issue on the efi terix too.
A lot of eqient have a decompression switch or lever which lowers the engine compression so engine starts faster In very cld weather
When i worked in a lawn mower shop, technicians became complacent and if the job was too hard they would make up crap to get the person to buy a newer unit. The shop would then buy the units "For Parts" at a very low price fix them and then sell them on marketplace under a fictitious name.
Wow that's horrible!
Wink wink 🤫
I have on 06 teryx I had to put an electric fuel pump also don't touch the throttle until it starts, I only use partial choke until it warms up
When you mentioned dirt being sucked into the carb, I kind of thought it might need a good carb cleaning.
Good buy ! Should be an easy flip if you choose to do so.
But what about the loss of compression
Didn’t watch the whole vid sorry
@James Giresi after he put oil in and re checked both cylenders were back up to 50 so it's good as factory calls for 60
IMHO - I sensed rings, needing engine out rebuild,
Cool. I worked on a 2010 model. The thing would not start unless I flooded the engine. I checked fuel pressure, compression, spark, coil resistance, etc. Finally came down to adjusting the valves. While I had it apart, I did plugs, changed the oil and fixed some major electrical shorts. Long story short, the thing runs amazing. They are pretty tight in the engine bay and hard to get my big hands in the tight places. But they are fun to drive...well worth the effort.
These dealerships are a joke. Not worth fixing they say! 😂 I’m sure they just hire anyone with no experience.
It's all about paying out the least wages out there un the world
Man, check your timing ¡
You likely won’t read this but I have somewhat the same trailer. I put 2 small jacks on the back of the trailer for unloading the UTV and I can load and unload when it’s not hooked to the truck. One of the best add-ons for the trailer.
Man oh man you are the hardest working youtuber ever! So many new videos
Another great video. I'm sure you've given people the confidence to work on their own machines after watching you. Now I wish I had my atv back that I sold to my grandson, it was his first and I sold it to him for what I paid for 2 tires, over 20 years old but still was a good atv.
If the last owner is watching, he must be pretty happy with how things worked out.
I have seen this before. The idle circuit jets were clogged and starving it for fuel. People that are not mechanically savvy think they know what they are doing and they they dump gas down the carbs, more often than not they dumb way to much gas in the barbs (you did not). This "washes" the cylinder of oil and results in a loss of compression (you introduced oil into the cylinders and the compression was regained). Even if they manage to get it to pop off for a few seconds, there is not enough run time to get oil back to the rings and the "wash" conditions remains. Then they bring it to a mechanic and the mechanic checks compression first, finds 10 psi in one and 35 psi in the other and prematurely calls it a blown engine and gives up. Clearly the dealership mechanic doesn't know how to check compression properly. Had the dealership introduced oil to the cylinders and performed a second compression check he would have saw what you saw -- compression jumped up to 50 psi in both. Once you got the compression back you dug in further and found the root problem -- clogged idle circuit jets. Congratulations on taking the chance you did and getting a nice machine with low hours at about 60% less than market value.
Nothing wrong with that engine! Great job getting it to run, Joe! Smoking good deal, you should be able to make some $$$ if you flip this.
Thanks man!
I don’t know if every manufacturer is the same but the front diffs on the Kawi’s do not like to be submerged. You should change both diff oil after running through deep water. Ask me how I know. $800 in parts for me to rebuild the differential.
We have the same sxs and the winch is down beside the driver’s side seat on the out side hope it helps
I still bet it will run even better if you change the fuel filter. And keep it from running lean qnd burning up.
I just subscribed. I'm a retired manual machinist that worked for defence plants, nuclear plants, transportation facilities, and mass production plants for 50 years and never had time to work on my own equipment. I can make every single item on this machine but never knew how to put it together. HAHAHAHAHA !!! GREAT VIDEO !!! Maybe I'll learn something here !!
"FEELS GOOD"...isn't proper valve clearance! ...thats why they make feeler guages!
The Schrader valve holds the psi on the gauge. Unless you have a leak down compression tester. Which I've never seen.
You dont have to put the engine at tdc to check valves. Just spin the engine till intake and exhaust valves are closed and the engine is in its compression stroke.
You are so right. I adjusted the valves on a Cat 3412 with a remote starter button. I did it all the time with 3116, 3208, 3406, 3306, Polaris quads, virtually all engines. Never had an issue, and a lot faster than using a dial indicator or trying to find marks.
@@Rat-Builder yep, you can watch the camshaft spin by hand and see that 70% of it is a circle and the valve does not move at all. Not many people realize this haha
@@bradenwuesthoff5639 Yea, on the Cat engines there is a hole in the bell housing to insert a timing bolt, and then you have to manually turn the engine over slowly until the pin lines up with the corresponding hole in the flywheel. Sometimes these holes are almost impossible to get at, and then there is the turning the engine over by hand. To heck with that! My way is so much easier, not to mention faster. I wonder how many "mechanics" know the 4 strokes IN ORDER of an internal combustion 4 cycle engine?
Intake and exhaust valves do not close together at same time.
yes they do. Its called the compression stroke. Dont spread false information on the internet.@@waynewells359
that my friend is a hell of a find for that price be real good for lawn work and some trails its not a power house like a can-am but still fun
You are one heck of a mechanic!
I started watching last week! I’ve been binge watching since! I’ve had a motorcycle before, and I’m pretty mechanical but you are absolutely awesome! I’m learning so much! I really enjoy your videos!
I feel bad for whoever owned this
Pul the hovercraft onto the trailer with the winch then tow it with the buggy
Hopefully Vinny will approve
Vinny says 🐕 that looks rough 😂
Vin is an ugly dog. He should not be picky.
When checking diffs oil levels go ahead and drain,flush and refill with fresh new gear oil as it's Uber cheap,only uses a few ounces and water in a diff sits at the bottom and all you'll see when eyeballing through the filler cap is gear oil while the water,sand,trash etc. sit down by the drain plug...
Hi You are my favorite you tuber . The reason is the way you run your channel content . Really appreciate the way you bring us with you . I hope you do very very well ty.
LOVE IT! Great catch. 29:37 "we'll put it back together so we don't lose or mix up parts." 🙋♂Been there, done that, "Oh look I put it back together and have these extra parts!" What happened to wing nuts (old air filters) for easy access points? Why are these not fuel injected, and what about manual transmissions?
You should call the original owner and tell him you will sell it back to him at great deal because the sealership ripped him off
I thought the same thing. Sell it back for what he bought it for. He’s making money off the video and would be helping the guy out.
The first cylinder you did the boot was sparkling on the top of it to that rod..
That guy just punched himself in the nuts lol 😆 😂
Another great video. Dude you really got to Crack the garage door open when you running the engine. I got really sick from fumes doing the same thing.
Awesome buy joe runs great defo a cool machine and very handy to have I would think about keeping this one take care mate and all the best to you and the wife and your family 👍🔧🔧🔧👌❤️
The winch controller wiring should hook to the winch somewhere on it itself!!! That is where every winch I have used that had a hand held unit that is a wired unit!!! Hopefully that helps you out in finding where to plug the controller up to???
Easy fix for a pro like you ... She run in couple off hours 👍👍🚜
One thing about these Kawasaki’s like the Teryx is they have an internal wet disc clutch. It is centrifugal, and it makes the start and stop smooth just like It had a torque converter. I sure like my 2014 Teryx.
Nice well done sir, enjoy it I have a gator and love it, love the videos keep up the great work.
your guage holds the compression, not the engine
I got the same engine in my brute force. Needs the carbs cleaned cause it sat a year. Looks like a pain to do on the atv. This looks not to bad
Great job bringing her back to life love you videos
It also has a vacuum operated fuel pump buy the tank so check vacuum line running to it.
Keep ‘em coming! Love the content
Thank you - great video! I have a 2009 with 2 x the miles and hours. You helped me by detailing your work. I appreciate it!
As usual you cranked the life out of the starter way to go! You definitely did not disappoint by doing the obvious carb clean first.
With that side-by-side I think they took the saying run it till the wheels fall off another great video 💯💯
Had the same issues with a 4 wheeler. Vacuum carb requires the right amount of vacuum. A "clean" old paper air cleaner as in my case was not letting enough air in that would only run for about 10 minutes then the excess vacuum would cause it to die. Held my hand over the intake without an air filter and it accelerated. New K& N paper air cleaner resolved all issues. I shared this with a friend who had the same model and his performace also improved.
Do you list the projects that your done with for sale on marketplace?
Great question. I could use one or two of their machines.
T-Rex! Buddy had a 2010. That thing was mechanically LOUD to operate. Aggravating as hell, you had to shout to each other while riding in it. He added EPS to it about 4 yrs ago and that was a game-changer. He sold it about 1 year ago for $6K, always maintained his stuff well.
Spray some carb cleaner in it will start. Your going to burn up the starter
I have to say you seem like a young guy for the knowledge you have ,I'm amazed how you know so much on all different kinds of engines , did you go to mechanic school or are you self taught ?
