Yamaha Rhino 660 Rough Idle SOLVED!
Hi again, I'm not sure if I asked this before, where do I find the number on my carburetor? Do I remove the doghouse and look from inside or under the hood? Thanks again and thanks for your channel!
@ArielsSky it's difficult to point it out exactly but there is either a metal tag stamped with numbers or it is stamped directly onto the carburetor. I suggest to start under the hood with a good light and it helps if the carb is clean. Thanks for the support 🙏
@@thehonestmechanic Thank you
Generators with short thread uses bp6hs
Thank you!
Did you make the lift for the atv
No I did not. I had this question before and I'm not sure where to purchase one. Received it as a gift
Why be so stupid ?? All you have to do is measure the thread depth in the engine head and that will tell you if it takes the short thread plug or the long thread plug !! Toss the manual in the feckin bin and use your brain for once 😜😎
Put the new plug in and spin the engine over by hand, if it doesnt hit it's fine. And the original plug could have been short from the factory. You dont know how much space is in between the piston and head until you do the squish test. Pit it in and spin it over. I bet itll be okay.
@codyswilley good tip! Did that, crushed the spark plug. Thanks for commenting!
It'll be just fine cars do this all the time just matters about the combustion chamber size
Who's to say that plug you removed wasn't the incorrect one ? That's where you need to know if it's ever been altered from the original engine components like pistons and heads ! If so the VIN engine spec just went out of the equation,, you can tell by the threads depth in the spark plug hole what length plug the cylinder head requires.. correct plugs are always flush with the threaded holes so carbon doesn't build up causing threads stripped when plugs are removed, and the long plugs in a short thread hole almost always come into contact with the piston resulting catastrophic engine failure
@davidcampbell8489 agreed. The full video is coming soon and will explain more but for now, there were no alterations. This was a generator that was purchased new and not used for many years. I do also like your comment! Thank you
Making me wonder if it's is 24 ft cause u have the tub and proper sink and alone toilet ?
Also enjoying the video cause ur set up or interior layout is different from mine which is if I'm correct is original from factory lol
That's a drain petock similar to your air compressor tank and also your pilot light and ventury tube which can be bought and replaced lol
Those are just the high compression plugs
@@wyattroncin941 lol 😆
It’s a 4 cycle engine that is lubricated like a 2 stroke, it uses 50 to 1 gasoline oil mix. The reason the camshaft and gear that are molded together are made out of plastic, is that when plastic is in physical contact with smooth metal it needs far less lubrication strength. And 50 to 1 mix is enough to deliver these requirements. It has more torque, better volumetric efficiency, uses less fuel and emits less smoke.
Don't worry. The top of the piston will fix that! 😂
Yup. In dynamic fashion. 😂😂😂
Any idea how long replacing a carburetor takes, I know it's not able to give a solid answer, but I don't know and I'm trying to not get jerked around thanks
As you said, every vehicle is different. All said and done, I replaced mine in about 2-3 hours taking my time to do it right and a few minor mods to make it work
@@thehonestmechanic Thank you so much, I appreciate it
Had one given to me, hadn't been run in years, sprayed so starting fluid in it . Fired right up. Pulled the card afterwards cleaned it runs great
Hey little richard dont forget to check ur shear key and keyway and grab magnifing glass and look for micro cracks which also get bigger when warmed up lol, just a gentle reminder of QSO lol
My 2022 SE Tiguan with 34k miles still gets me 32-34 MPG on highway. In City I am around 25-28 MPG.
I had a couple of motorcycles roll over the 100000.Also an old VW golf as well asan old F 150 ...way back in the day. Not going to lie though and say I put all those kms on those bikes. That just sounds painful.
Just starts over again
😂 i still have 40,000 to go on mine before turning that old 🤣🤣 morning sir
Congratulations on getting 100K, I bet the next 100K go quicker!
😂😂 this was great 👍
For those with 2019 model, have you had transmission fluid change at 80k miles? I'm at 82k and the fluid service is apparently quite pricey.
I'm also curious 🤔
Can you get to that squeeze ball without taking to the drivers seat? Great video
Yes but it's much easier to remove the passenger seat
5+ years/60k Miles using it. Bought a new 2019 model and no issues so far. Regular Oil changes and had to replace tires, battery, and AC filter those are normal wire and tire.
You've sold me!
U need to get an argo lol
Sorry John, not a fan of Argos
@@thehonestmechanic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
U need some cil wobblers 🤣 something I use to use working for the o.n.r. blowing Beaver dams lol
A friend of mine who owns a collector business and he said leave it alone ! U hurt the value of the can as a collectable and he's In Ingersol ont and actually has a RUclips channel and was actually on t.v. so please don't mess with that can!
Hello, I was given a Honda eb3500x that's sat for 10+ years. I've got minimal knowledge of gas engines. I'd like to fix myself, I was told I shouldn't even try to start it before replacing carburetor. Any help is appreciated! I waited til we have a hurricane approaching the gulf as I live south of Houston like 20 min from coast
If you are not comfortable cleaning your carburetor, replacing it is definitely an option. I would start by checking for spark, changing the spark plug and engine oil then see how things go. If it doesn't run, look at the carburetor
It rolls over to 00000
Hopefully it doesnt self destruct! 😂. Fingers crossed for no windows in the side of the engine block. 🤞🤞
Thanks for the tip. I just tipped it over sideways the other day and got oil all over.
Huskavarna over enginered high quality equipment, if all did half what they make things would definately last longer lol, good vid keep up the good work
Love the show scribed and share 🎉
Thanks for the support 🙏!!!
Edelbrock carbs 🎉made in USA
Try Chinese U joints see how you like those 🎉
Quadrajets are excellent carburetors. People just don't like what they can't understand.
i just hold my hand over the air intake on my 2005, works every time
Hey man , great video. I've done these brake jobs on this style of truck many many times. It was years ago on rental cube vans. Always thought what a pain in the butt just to change brakes!! Brought back lots of memories. Thanks
Got into a bad car wreck almost three weeks ago and this 1990's GMC Savanna van ran a red light totaling my Passport. I just bought this 2020 VW Tiguan SEL today, with 40,100 miles and I pray this lasts me for awhile. The dealerships were ridiculous on pricing whether new or used so I bought mine at Volkswagen.
I hope you are ok! Car accidents are never good. We like our VW, hope you do too!
I need a carb for a 460 where did you find your's and a mechanic pur an electric choke I drove it about 60 miles and it's been parked for about 2 months. I tried starting it and it wouldn't turn over but it really was shaking, any ideas? I'm not a mechanic, and in ontario canada, don't know a mechanic
I found this one on eBay. It would be too small for a 460 but there are different options. Without seeing the vehicle, it's hard to say exactly why it won't start. Could be many things such as a low battery, bad gas etc. If you provide more details, I can try to help out.
@@thehonestmechanic thanks okay well a mechanic said the carb was bad something about needing jets replaced? they put an electric choke on it, when I did try starting it, I was getting a boost and spray to try and start it, but where I store it the man said he doesn't know why it won't start, while we tried to get it going the rv shook a lot, I know it's hard to say without seeing it, thanks for any help
By your description, it sounds like a carburetor issue OR a spark issue
@@thehonestmechanic will be looking into it in the next month or so thank you
I have 2 of those vacuum bleeders and can never get them to work. I noticed your van turned into a RHD at the end as well!!😂
As a golden rule I have when you have situations like this never do just 1 side but do both sides, inspect all your seals and bearings, and depending where u live i.e. Canada you can buy the brake bleeder vacuum pumps, and yes they do have electric ones lol, noticed lil bit oil front of rear dif. Check ur Universal's and front dif bearing, most times is seal is leaking then those are main culprits and also time and mileage, and a lil fyi bleeding front and cleaning reservoir is a good idea and never skimp and get the good quality brakes, and yes lil Richard you did right by changing out rear differential fluids, always check to make sure that you put proper SAE fluids, seen some foolishness over the years sooooo not going there lol, but good job, and will see if I can get u a special tool for Christmas trust me it'sa life saver I mean knuckle saver lol
😂😂 never fails 🤣🤣🤣
Actually little Richard you can use either DAP or high temp gold gasket maker around the gas lines to seal any air leaks, yup learned the hard way lol but generally if you get the proper fuel line sizes you will not have air or gas leaks lol and some weed wackers are direct drive or clutched drive lol
I turned one of the weedwackers into a canoe airboat motor, with alot of trial and error I found the right metal and size blades, yup was. Fun for a bit lol
I am about to embark on a similar mission. I acquired a 1998 Big Bear 350 from a coworker for $150, it was not running and needed a considerable amount of work, it now runs and I have most of the work done now I just need to tackle the rear drive seals as its leaking motor oil right down through the swing arm, into the rear diff and out the axle seal.... are you able to provide me with dimensions or a photo of that socket? Thanks again!
I have done that job and made a video or two. Check out my playlist: Yamaha Big Bear 350: ruclips.net/p/PLVPUXguYjwB3ZfrbS837vz0Y61P_UETrB. I can't quite remember which one it was
