Been watching for years, it seemed awkward at first adding a third person to the mix, but this episode has convinced me that you guys make a great combo for entertainment! Thanks for all the smiles over the years!
Id rather him then the other dude
That was wicked funny with John got hit with the wasps nest that was funny I laughed my ass off
@@J.Henderson216 I definitely agree, I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but he definitely doesn't have the mechanical knowledge or experience Charles has, and just didn't really fit the channel in my opinion. Also, in my opinion it seemed like it was more of a joke to him than a full time, serious "job" so to speak. These 3 can joke and have a good time, but also make light of the shitty situations, all while still understanding the "seriousness" required for the "job". Charles has been a great addition to the channel in my opinion. (I know I said "in my opinion" quite a few times, but unfortunately you have to in today's society, otherwise everyone gets offended and butthurt."
@@jrkbgk1111 "everyone" gets offended and butthurt? I have to take a moment to call you out on that inaccurate statement. You, sir, should have added one final "IMO" to the post to make it truly snowflake proof (The preceding rhetorical question & smartass reply, I should point out, were formed entirely of my personal opinion) lol sorry man couldn't help my stupid ass...
This tired looking four wheeler turned into quite the score!
These honda ATV's are absolute tanks. We've had a rubicon for years on our family farm and we've never had an issue.
It would be cool to see a gearbox like that on a gokart.!
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMy/v-deo.html
Yup
Less tired looking than the Hon-Dookie, which I HOPE has been DISMANTLED.
Man, charles is such a great addition to the carsandcameras crew, when he did the hot sause mouth spray i cracked up🤣
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMy/v-deo.htmlre
Charles keep up the good work mate, honestly you add so much to CAC! big respect
I hope Charles keeps hanging with yall, he is some comic relief and handsome too.
Man I was just about to say the same thing he is such a great addition
KEEP CHARLES AROUND!! Totally agree bro, he’s too funny
Charles spraying the starting fluid then bopping the camera with it has my sides hurting from laughing so hard!

5000 mi 450 hrs is about 11 mph. Lots of trail riding. Great find! That Honda having an explosive fart with the wasp nests was as hilarious as it can get. I don't know what you paid for it, but around here, even total junked 4-wheelers are expensive. They add the word "vintage" to the description to justify over pricing the junk they sell around here.
Same here market has gone to shit
This makes me appreciative of the Honda Rancher 420 4x4 es that I have now. This was a great video to watch
The addition of Charles to your channel has Amplified it 100%. He has a younger guys attitude of not being afraid of going out and testing it. And he seems to be a jack-of-all-trades. Im 47 years old and have no idea why I watch a bunch of guys make go karts that I will never get on or try and make. But I've been watching your channel for at least 4 years and it's one of my top 10 channels. Keep it up guys.
I probably laughed harder than i should have when john got hit with the wasp nest out of the exhaust...
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMy/v-deo.html
yeah--------> #metoo
OMG Its honestly the hardest I have ever laughed at a youtube video! Hahaha
Yeah🤣🤣🤣
Charles is to freaking funny, since you guys added him they fun is cranked up 1,000%
Love this channel
I’m glad everything worked out on that for Charle, he’s always in high spirits and seams like a good person. Good people having good things happen for a change lol
This episode was gold👍🏼 please don’t ever get rid of Charles, and Charles don’t ever change your honest, funny, hardworking lovable self😂
Wee met them today !! Charles is so funny well all of them but he add something special to the crew !!! Glad we could meet y’all guys .
This has to be my favourite episode so far, 🤣 from Charles spraying hot sauce like deodorant or breath freshener, Ike's reaction to the battery still being connected and john being hit with nest, it all had me in tears I was laughing so hard.
My dad has that same type of 4 wheeler it is a 1998 model 400 ever since I can remember and we used it a lot and still today I can go out hit the starter and fires right up! All that has ever been done to it I believe is the oil, tires, voltage regulator, plastic parts and that is pretty much it I believe! Honda is the way to go!!
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMy/v-deo.html
Charles rockin Cooper's sticker on the truck. Niiicccceee
I remember seeing commercials for this four wheeler when I was a kid. Very cool to see you guys get one.
There are a lot of time lapses on UA-cam, but that carb rebuild time lapse from this video was really well done. Great video.
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMt/v-deo.html
now, since when does sitting for eight years ever make a honda not want to run? great find there, my brother has a slightly older version of it, it's even yellow.
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMy/v-deo.htmlgg
@@alrezgarage9046 clean the old gas out. I guess I meant in the sense that hondas are so bulletproof they aren't going to have any BIG issues just from sitting.
@@nybergsgarage bulletproof indeed
Why was it even abandoned
@@Yippa391 who knows. somebody lost interest maybe.
Charles is a nut, i love it.
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMy/v-deo.htmlt
Great channel men. It is encouraging when y'all get these old engines (sitting for years) running.
I would love to know what the cylinder walls look like and if things really need to be fogged before layup. The Hornet wasn't, and the yellow Wasp 4 wheeler wasn't. Gas, battery and go. But like you say, they are Hondas.
I’ve always thought Charles had to be an Appalachia boy. I’m glad to hear that not only was I correct, but he’s an ‘almost heaven’ WV boy like myself!
What part of west by god u live
@@shotgunz124 from Braxton county. Heaters Wv.
im currently in Mercer County WV at speedway
You three have one heck of a lotta fun. Wasp incidents added a lot to the fun. Ike does a good job on that 3 wheeler. Charles is no slouch on that 4 wheeler either. That runs great.
Wish i had friends like yall, i got into mini bikes and four wheelers at a young age, and now i have 3 mini bikes and my son has a small atv we are always watching and upgrading weekly
I have to say, I have owned many Honda three wheelers over the years and I had a 200, and I would've bet money on the 200 winning against the four wheeler. I was very impressed with Charles' riding. And I have to say, Charles seems like a real nice guy, I like the dude.
Never tried it myself but I've always heard spinning tanks with BB's in it works really good for those rusty jobs. Could watch you guys all day..feels the same as when my buddies and I are messing around with stuff lol🤘
Got a 04 Rancher es from a old guy that kept it in a barn and never rode it. 60 hours on it with break in oil still in it and clean as hell. 'get it running and it's yours.' $40 carb and it's a champ.
16:59 instead of buying a whole headlight repair kit just buy brasso it works amazingly
Would be amazing to see the rest of Charles 4 wheeler get the same cleaning as the carb. Like taken apart and prober cleaned. Good vid 👍
It’s a Honda and it’s carbureted it’ll never die my bro’s Honda rancher is almost 22 years old and still runs great! I had to fix the neutral light so it starts in any gear but it doesn’t go out know!!
This was a good, light-hearted episode (even more than usual). Nice work!
Uni filters sells air filter foam in sheets. Cut just a bit more than the long way of the metal tube and with a bit of overlap going around.
Use a 50/50 mix of gas and motor oil to wet the foam. Once wet squeeze out most of the oil mix. I have used this on most of my bikes.
Easy to remove, clean, oil and reinstall.
The K&N ok oil stuff is to thick even for K&N filters. Richens the mix too much.
Watching you guys over the past year has made me fall in love with mini bikes..i just bought my first budget mini bike recently, and can't wait to get her fixed up and rippin!
So cool. I grew up on my dad's Honda 4 wheelers. The last one I used had the button shift, but with reverse was obtained by pulling the brake lever while holding in a nearby button, then the normal downshift button would send it into reverse.
Charles is starting unleash his inner Ernest... Know what I mean Vern?
Man I love watching this suff, just 3 genuine dudes workin on bikes .
Hot sauce aftershave, Scotch-Brite filtration, and artillery wasp nests.
Honda ATV's are immortal. I dug a 2000 model Honda Fourtrax 300 out of the weeds after sitting 12+ years, and was able to get it back out on the trails.
love the channel! one tip, fill old rusty tanks with evaporust for a day or 2. did that for my 1971 honda sl70 and it cleaned the tank up really nicely.
Finally a fourwheeler. Now we're talking. Right down my alley
"We got reverse on CarsandCameras" I just came back from a trek on my Cars and Cameras inspired '94 Sportsman 400 , 420 engine swap that I couldn't be happier with. I found out pretty quick that the Scrambler & Sportsman have different gear boxes but it works so good. I love me some CarsandCameras 👍
Charles's family probably kicking themselves seeing how easy he got it running. Seeing John get hit by those wasp nests was pretty hilarious and it's not like he didn't know they were ready just waiting to do Wiley E Coyote acme move
I have an 07 rancher 400. It has over 25k miles on it. I bought it for cheap because someone stripped the cylinder bolts when the base gasket failed and started leaking. Input a new cylinder and piston in it, and it runs like a top. They like a lot of choke when they're cold. Overall a pretty good machine.
Reminds me of hunting with my dad and finding an old Suzuki 250 dirt bike abandoned in the woods . The oil mixer had gone out and Galled the piston. $80 and mixed my own gas and oil and road it for years!! Cool old machine!! Have fun!
I enjoy this channel. It's one of the best. Charles is a great addition. 👍
We have got 3 Honda TRX500 FA's (auto's) on the farm, one has done 11,850 hours and 90,000 km on one top end rebuild. Never had any major issues with all 3, most reliable quads ever.
I agree about Charles.
Well done Guys!!!
I would jet the yellow one bigger they always were to lean and cold starts will be better.
Plus bigger battery cables.
And a the best battery you can find to put in it and buy a whole fleet of
Battery Tenders and run them all off of a solar panel system and keep them charged and keep it Green.
Charles is a good addition to the craziness…glad to see you on there !
Good job guys! I always liked the Rancher model. As always, your onscreen chemistry is wonderful.
Ooooohhh man !!! Lol 😆 when Charles was talking about buying the quad with a sock for an air filter. I thought oh no 😢 I have the exact filter right now! With said sock. Has been on my 300ex for I think like 4 yrs now!!! Oh boy it works great though.
If anyone deserves a break. It would be Charles. Great addition to the team !!
Charles is definitely a great addition to the channel!
I live about 10 miles form the gulf coast. My 2003 rancher sat up for Monroe than 10 yrs. I cleaned the carb like you did. Changes filters and plug and fluids. Runs basically like new. I don’t even use the choke.
Lmfao Charles cracks me up! Lmfao 🤣 The wasp nest got me too, omg I’m cryin!
Thanks!
GUYS YOUR NEIGHBOUR MR BEAST JUST BOUGHT 200 ACRES YOU NEED TO BUILD HIM THE ULTIMATE GET ABOUT CART AND MAYBE SOME CRAZY BIKES FOR HIS BOYS THAT 2ND MILL WILL BE MUCH QUICKER THAN THE 1ST
A most excellent acquisition, and especially for Charles to have his very own unit.
Let's see some work on that kei truck! Maybe workshop a few ideas and let the c&c community vote on various aspects of the build
Clean the tank with Evapo-Rust and seal it with POR-15 tank sealer. Works like a charm. Used it to fix a tank or two and it is easier than tank kreem and won't delaminate.
Charles reminds me of my freind Dallas one of the best people to befriends with and to enjoy wasting time with
I Like Chalie !! Hes an ace !! Seems like a really great bloke ( Same age as my son -- Just wonna say Good Luck too you Chhie - You ever make your own channel Love to be part of it !! Cheers Charlie Form the *UK*
I have a very old Suzuki but its gonna take me a very long time to fix it once I went to check the gas tap I turned it and it shot off
You guys are one special trio. Some sort of a real life cartoon show.
Ike the mechanic who tries fixing every thing with a hammer.
John the engineer who takes the hammer from Ike and throws it away.
And Charles who gets stuck on the roof while retrieving the hammer. But he's the one with a hemlet so he's in.
You guys make a great team and Charles is so ecstatic with his new toy
That is so cool on the air filter I just did the same to my YMF 250 Yamaha yesterday only micro fibre cloth and cable ties. It had not been started for 12 months drained the carb and fresh fuel with some areostart.
"That's rougher than a stucco bathtub" - Charles C&C 2021
Dude I watched that power-slide a million times! That was SICK!
Here's a sweet tip I learned when cleaning rusty gas tanks; use a stainless steel close link chain from like a dog leach. It's easier to pull out and store away.
I definitely gotta say it's nice to see Ike back up and at it doing it like he never broke his shoulder 💜💜💜
Thats great. I Love that honda 4wheeler. I run a Yamaha timberwolf 250 2 wheel drive. But i love that thing. It moves great since I rejetted the carb & installed a high current coil. Its deff fun!!!
On your off-road course there’s that one log just before you go through the water that sticks out like a spear my recommendation is you chainsaw that off either that or upload everything ALL the carnage lol!
Also giving its age, from what I read is best to remove old grease from the shift motor gears and replace with white lithium grease so that will never get hung up button shifting.As long as it still works I converted my rancher 350 back to manual and took out those gears!
One cool thing about the 400at is that since it isn't a gear on gear transmission, you can hold it wide open and shift it without letting off like you'd need to do if it were like a regular manual shift atv. Try it, you'll like it. lol
Since your YELLOW 4 wheeler is filled with so many WASPS, you should name it BUMBLEBEE
Congrats on a million subs! Been watching you all since about 100k....super happy for you!
That Wasp nest flying out the exhaust at poor John had me laughing so hard, sorry John, lol.
Charoles go him something lol , cut it up and make a go kart out of it . He such a great addition to cars and cameras . Great episode
ua-cam.com/video/dTRBiX7BBlMy/v-deo.html
Glad I found this channel. These guys are pretty chill.
Just in case you didnt know, there is a primer on the bottom of that carb, its there for really cold starts. It looks like a little plunger with a black head on it, its at the very bottom of carb.
Charles is a great addition fits right in like a glove !
It's got wings on the plastic,nests everywhere : 'Humble Bee',as Charles is quite so chill,even when getting fired upon by a bees nest cannon,or 'Yellow Jacket' as you know he's going to buzz down every trail?
My Uncle has a 400 Foreman with 21,000 miles on it. A friend that deals in used ATVs said he had a 500 Foreman with over 50,000 miles on it. It came out of WV where you can ride them on the road and the guy road it to work every day.
that log with the broken sharp edges is a disaster waiting to happen I would move that before someone gets impaled
Was thinking the same
Just took care of that this morning. Thank you. Used the atv Worked great
My dad's ol rancher 350 has over 1000 hrs and around 5000 miles, my 300 probably has twice both and both of em still run perfect. Honda all the way
You guys are a riot! This was all too good to even script!
A few layers of nylon stocking for a filter, and you're set. Nylon is completely impervious to petroleum. Two pairs = 4 toes. Clamp with a single polyester zip-tie. Clean with fuel, then oil.
It's been a while since I see a cars and camera video I love you guys you guys are so amazing and make such amazing videos
I'm from West Virginia and I love to see these kind of videos! Keep up the good work!
I love how "human" y'all are in your videos Im always laughing and learning at the same time
awesome sauce! now i know and understand why one should clean a carb! thanks for sharing!
I had the 2007 420 version 👍 best quad I ever owned ! Had to sell do to injury’s! I had a tear running down my face when dude drove off with it !
As the original owner of that 400 AT, first turn on the ignition and walk away for a couple of minutes. Let the carburator heat do its job. Turn on the gas and hit the starter button. By the way, how do you like the little bicycle mirror on the left handlebar?
Love y'all..am an oldie, but remember my first 4 wheeler ride on the farm!!
you 3 are the quintessential trio for all of my internal-combustion related entertainment
Normally honda ignition switches just have plugs that you can unplug and just hook them together, did it on 300s that folks lost the keys too all the time
No I'm not ok, you got me in the dagum eye with that can there charles. lol
The ole wheeler shot it's load off. lol
When the old honda back fired 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh good laugh guys. I needed that 👍
love quads - glad yall doin this one

I have a 1996 Honda trx 300 4x4 utility fourwheeler and last winter after sitting outside in ice and snow for like a week I thawed it just enough to get the key turned, cracked the ice off the seat, kicked it a few times and she popped right off.
I have an 05 rancher 350 it has a ton of hours and miles runs amazing and plows snow great too I love it.
Charles ! Like I said before is the perfect fit to the C&C team .
ahhhh the rancher 400, great quad when it runs, terrible when it doesn't lol. Just an fyi ,its notorious for transmission issues, but more or less the sensors that go bad causing it not to move. Definitely purchase a shop manual for this bike and keep it out of deep mud or water as the angle sensor will fail, cheap and easy fix but get a shop manual because you'll need it when a sensor throws a code and you need to figure out which one and then how to reset the ecm after replacing the sensor. Best of luck, i just picked up an 06 rancher 400 and it has been one heck of a time.
Congratulations Charles!
Lotta laughs in this one, fellas. Looked like y'all were having fun.
I'd love to see future experiments with the Scotch Bright air filter. That might be accidentally brilliant!
