Buy red plastics because this looks like a Chinese bike
Try no choke at all
I don't know what it would cost but have you considered wrap ? Like what People use on cars
Try mixing lemon juice with vinegar to clean the gas tank
Pull start that pile
I’ve had to push start a freshly rebuilt bike before to get it started for the fist time. Good job sticking with it.
Had an old DR 350 that was giving me serious hell getting started once after a rebuild. Had plenty spark and a fuel but I finally put a different plug in it and it would fire up with zero issues.
I was going to say to check the decompression cable setting/gap/clearance but you got it running. Good job Joe!
Great job not giving up. I have a 92 250x with a new high compression piston and I have been struggling to get it started again. Watching your video has given me hope it will run again very soon.
Been waiting all morning for this!
Let’s go you should get a 250r 2 stroke race quad
That’s not $350 tho lmao that’s a lot more
I think he had one already if I’m not mistaking
@@traviskelly9759 he did
You should check out some of this back catalogue of videos, lots of good 2 stroke quad content.
I was thinking a Honda TRX 250R race quad
That's awesome, glad to see it running and driving!
That’s what you get for not giving up good job man
Keep up the hard work 💪we love the videos 👍
Wow! I thought the rear Tire would go Flat Before You got it Started . Good job, made me Sweat Just Watching You Kick it over so many times. Great Job!
Good job! Make your life easier, Grab a condiment ketchup squirt bottle from the dollar store and make a fuel bottle. Fuel line fits over the spout pretty well, not hard to hang up with some tape and a wire and you won’t have to keep pouring gas down the supply line.
Good find 👍🏼
Goes to show that we can all get a little rushed at times.
It definitely looks better with the black paint off!
Never say die brother nice job man now i got a total sett of videos to follow on my 91 and 87
Glad you didn't give up...I knew you would get it!
Looks good man cleaned up nice it was worth all the kicking
Don’t paint the plastics! Wet sand them, then take a heat gun to the plastics and move around quickly. It’ll bring the color back to the plastics!!
Good idea!
Just don’t heat the plastics too much or it will evaporate the stuff that makes it flexible and then the plastic will become brittle.
Or they can be polished after wet sanding too
Ive just seen a guy that owns a garage in Ma were im from Mcnasty customes he buffs the plastic and ive seen heat gun as well it works the balls but like anything that comes out right it takes time but definatly way to go
Buffing pad with no compound is like magic for getting the shine back. You should get a red seat cover in my opinion, return it to more of an original look, and to me the blue looks a bit weird.
That plug looked kinda beat up .... nice job not givin up tho ... thats some honey badger shit 🍯🦡🍯🦡 😎
Liked before watching ☺️hope you're doing well, keep up the great videos
Forget all that kicking = just tow it in 2 or 3rd (250cc) = If that don't start it nothing will. If it does -keep it running as long as possible to break it in again and watch it for issues (leaks, etc). Sounds like a Honda now. You can pressure test with both sets of valves (4) closed or do a compression test.
I remember I had problem with Yamaha blaster 200. Kicked like 1000 times. Doesn't run. Wanted to give up but decided to push start it and funny enough it was all it needed and after first start it was going like a clockwork ;)
Great work man!
Love you 2 vintage
So close to giving up I'm glad you didn't buddy top content as always love how far you have come from back in the day much better mechanics.
I'm glad you got it going.
Awesome content mate!!
I have a high compression piston as well. I've always just used premium and added an bottle of octane boost. I don't know if it's good enough or not but have had any problems yet. Race gas is hard to find and it's at least $8 a gallon for 110 octane, when I have found it. I don't want a ride on the hill to be 20 bucks every time I go.
Depending on what compression ratio you have you should be able to run 93 with no issues
If you run that high octane you have to do a little bit of modifications and tweaking and tuning
@@gabewest305 91 is recommended for a stock engine.
Go to your hardware store, purchase TOLUENE(paint section). Toluene is what oil companies use to raise octane in gasoline. The ratios are easy to find online. I ran toluene for years in my stage 4 WRX.
I just picked one of these up. Cool piece of history
Hell yeah man!!! She lives again haha. Deff stick with white. Painting the rear white is quickest and easiest way. But if you sanded the back fenders from 180 or 220 grit ip to like 1500 then buffed em they would look brand new and those lines would go away. But paint works too on a lower budget build. Stick with the white, blue seat cover. I would do bumpers red along with handle bars, footpegs, and a few more small parts red to make the red be like an accent color. Then you would have a sweet red white and blue American looking quad haha. Nice job man!!!!
Once you hear the good ole Honda valve tick you can never forget that sound lol. It's got a exhaust leak too. Check the header flange
You saw that too? Was wondering if he noticed that.
Great video man
You need to set up a temporary tank you have to break top end in!
Great video Joe. If there’s a speedway near you they sometimes sell race fuel for the stock cars that run their track. If not, premium fuel plus octane will work fine.
There’s a little wire on the bottom right side of the motor it’s hard to find if it’s unhooked it won’t start
Well done joe 👍
I give you credit kid. You worked for that one. But you didn't give up. Nice job.
Have a 87 myself and it runs like a champ
The white looks good. Lot of work to bring that motor back huh! You can use a orbital sander and start with like 400 grit disks. Sand those plastics back to smooth. You gotta work up through the grits. 800, 1000, then you can buff it back to a shine. It's a lot nicer than painting.
I just love the way this guy says “not good” 😆
I like how you do like teasers for like your new toys
have you seen the views its insane and i love your videos
Is there a video on how/where the wires and cable are ran through and connected to this quad or the trx 250x.
Found myself today filling up the fuel hose with a god damn pouring cup!! I never ever do that. Bike started fortunately. now to find my ketchup bottle that i normally use and tiny funnel
Awesome vid and nice bike
Question for you I’m doing my own high compression build and I’ve done all kinds of movements with the timing chain and it ticks. Did this one tick a little or did I screw up something?
How do you feel about painting the rear plastic piece red to match the front bumper?
Gonna look mint once it’s done , crazy those nerf bars look new 🤔🤔🤔
You're right on the fuel, higher octane for higher compression.
That paint stripper works rapidly in heat or direct sunlight , here in the uk we use plastic dust cover sheeting an cover items after applying paint stripper as we don’t have much heat lol
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bike
You should buy a kawasaki mojave. Fun machine. Sweet video
Such well built quads, I wish they never stopped making them
They still make 250s
So glad you stuck to it given up as bad!
That ltz400 looks awesome behind you
Doing a video on it
Oh I was gonna tell u there’s quads barely start with out the air box on them thats what happen to my 300ex and it’s the same design just with a starter
The ol honda lives
1000 kicks later seriously !
A little tip use a pressure washer to peel the paint done it many times and dosent dull up the plastics
Whats up with the white quad behind the one your working on?
The white color is a lot better than black. It actually seems to run great on 93 octane. It is purring. You can get octane booster at the parts store.
find tdc top dead center and give it a good kick if it doesn’t start then there’s something else wrong with it
does it have a clutch on the handle bar like the newer 250s?
What’s the Yamaha over there?
What type of gasket sealer do you use?
You need to get a Honda Pilot or odyssey go kart
about time dam it been waiting on another video you act like you were busy or something lol
Really? You couldn't tell he has a lot of projets in there? Why dont you go be a mechanic if you want to watch his videos so badly.
@@elmerrodriguez9817 really? It was a joke. Couldn't sense the sarcasm?
The white looks good
Citrus striped n Powerwasher works wonders
Hey, I know this is an old video but before I open up my 250x I wanna ask you what you might think the problem would be, I have a black spark plug, looks like oil on it, and it idles fine, but sputters and backfires if given any throttle, what do you think I should look for?
Play around with advancing the ignition timing a little at a time and see if that high compression piston and high octane fuel along with the proper timing can give it a noticeable increase in performance.
CLR calcium, lime, rust remover works great to clean rust out of a tank.
Joe, check out Torco Accelerator. That way you can just mix up what you need.
Is the decompression lever stuck open/forward?
Watching you keep kicking when it clearly has no compression 😂
He rebuilt the top end
Does anyone know how the kill switch and lights are wired I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find a single thing about this bike
I have a feeling is the piston that made it so hard to start. But thinking about how much material you had to grind out of the head. The compression possibly would of been lower than factory with a new stock piston.
Seems to start good now. Plus i like the white better!
Aluminum pant matches perfect
I ENVY THIS BROTHERS PATIENTS 😆🙏🏽👌🏽🛐
VP race fuel some stations carry it or can order online
for the tank, get some stainless air rifle bbs and shake the hell out of it, or strap it to a quad tire thats running in gear and on jack stands,
damn man your awesome nice job !
That shit 🍋 jajajajja just kidding 😂😂💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Vinegar and a pack of copper bbs, combine both into the gastank and shake it like heck!!! For the plastics use a wet sand paper, it HAS TO BE BLACK SAND PAPER!!! Atleast 1000 grit and sand the plastics itll smooth it out alot
You should do a vid on painting them and the frame and the seat cover
You been kicking that thing so long and soon thy back tire went flat lol.
These are totally under rated little quads! I liked mine batter then the blaster. Did you end up selling this one?
2vintage very awesome
Over here by Wausau it’s a vp racing gas station.... but any power sports shop should carry it or be able
To get u some comes in a 5 gallon jug
Farming Simulator music in the beggining LOL
Nice Work, Dude! I don’t know why it took so many kicks after its latest assembly & checks to fire. I’ve only known these engines to be BulletProof & never sluggish to start. it seems to idle at a higher RPM, but I’ve never had one with a high-compression piston installed. I can’t tell you how many miles I put on this type engine when I was 11yrs old to 16yrs old, but I ran mine (250 Fourtax) 300+ days a year for 5 years and Loved Her! my bff had the 250X. that’s probably why I was rooting for this machine to give in & do what she does. thanks for showing me how to restore mine, as always.
Did you weld that water pipe on the back
I need a 250 x and you need a knee replacement 😩 good job
That homemade pipe grab bar has got to go! 😭
How much did you put into it so far??
Menard’s needs to sponsor you!
hey i know just how you feel i have been working on a 87 300 suzuki quad runner i have had that head off at least 6 times i think i got it now wow
You good bra
My brother in law flipped mine and left it running now I got a tick on the top. Should I rebuild or wait till it won’t run?
Good Morning I have a 1999 cr80rb and I was doing a top end rebuild so I took off the top end and water got into my bottom end do you think I need a whole new bottom end?
no just flush it out
Unless there is a bunch of rust, then you have to clean it all out or possibly replace a bunch of it.
