    the "knock sensor" i think is more likely an oil pressure switch. Hence why there is oil that is under pressure at that location. Knock sensors just sit in a metal chunk of block sensing pre-detornation knocks. That could be because of bad gas or excessive temperatures causing the gas to ignite at the wrong moment. (remember your coolant was super low, overheat and fuel was detonating wrong and the computer caught all that crap red-handed.)

  • @oldjarhead386
    @oldjarhead386 Год назад +14

    Quick note. Knock sensors can’t leak oil. :-). They measure a for a sharp knock throughout the engine block. They are normally a piezoelectric device. More vibration generates a high voltage signal. The computer knows cam and crank position as well as when spark is fired. So a knock signal larger than normal combustion near TDC or before the next spark event indicates which cylinder was knocking. Looks to me you need two sensors.
    Those engines are some of the best ever. Great power at 10,000 RPM and reliable at the same time. And the sound is incredible!
    My current RX1 I got for $1k. Wouldn’t start. Owner claimed it had a new solenoid and battery. Got it home and found some carb floats were stuck and filled the crankcase with oil and gas mix. Rebuilt the carbs, changed the oil and bought a new battery. Run like new ever since. Great sled it’s become a keeper. But I would replace it for an Apex like yours!

But it doesn't shut down at the first over heat light when I am riding. When it does come on (and I notice it), I typically slow down and ride off trail a bit in search of loose snow which works fine every time. But during an intense trail ride I can definitely believe that light can be easily overlooked.

    As a general rule, knock sensors are single wire and thread into a hole that does NOT go into any passage but bottoms out somewhere in the side of the blocks water jacket, without contacting coolant, oil or anything else except the block. I believe yours is just above and to the left of the oil pressure sensor looking front to back. Very low coolant can trigger the knock sensor because A) The engine will knock when hot or with bad fuel due to multiple combustions colliding in the cylinder (it's hot) and or B) because the knock sensor is essentially screwed into a hollow drum i.e. the coolant dampens the knock by filling the drum. Naturally a rod knock will trigger the knock sensor as well.

    You probably figured it out but the knock sensor is between the middle 2 cyl about 5 inches from your oil pressure sensor. Replace it. Put the nose up on a snow bank and pop the coolant cap to burp the system. Don't ride until you clear all the codes. The sled will shut off if it doesn't see oil pressure that is the code 30 you mentioned. You stole the sled, even if #1 is a little low on compression, run the yamaha ring free for a few tanks and you may get lucky. What was that ticking when it was first outside? That is how they are supposed to start, don't crank longer then 20 seconds, swap the plugs immediately. Have fun!

    For a reliable machine, you should take the engine apart and check every piece for heat damage.
    Now you could have a machine that breaks down every time you take it for a spin.
    There is always a part that fails later on due to extensive overheating, this was a severe overheating.

    Great video, I like you are cutting short the intro to your basic diagnostics, but would like the voice over explaining what and why. I also look at snowmobiles as the biggest waste of money. Paying $7k in 2012 is like 12k today to go play in the snow 2-3x a year? I would rent one instead. Kinda like jet skis, easier to haul than a snowmobile, but i have had three friends rupture tendons and ACL tears trying to get back on them in the water. I will stick to motorcycles and ATV’s

      This has been a terrible winter so far in wi for sledding, The grass is barely covered around me and I'm not that far away from Joe's location. Between the high cost of new sleds and declining snow condition its been killing the sport for 50 years.

      Snomobiling can be much more than 2 - 3 rides playing in the snow. With hundred to thousands of miles of trails it becomes a destination thing, ice fishing, to a nice restaurant, or an overnight at a hotel etc -a couple of hundred miles per ride at times and a very social thing to do when you all have sleds. I do a yearly three day ride from Manitoba to Minnesota with a group of friends and it's a highlight experience every time. But those Jet skis are more like you are saying, around and around in circles gets boring pretty quick from what I see.

    If you are going to sell it I hope you do very well with it. The sound is fantastic, can't help wondering if that is a YZF1000 engine or similar. What a hassle to get things apart though. Garage costs for repairs must be sky high as I mentioned before. 100mph ? On the snow ? Wow ! Well done that was great to watch, thanks :)

    These thing fowl plugs really easy if don't let warm up before light goes out on dash. If engine healthy should just light right off. Disconnect injectors and clear cylinders
    dont shut of till warm up light goes off or touch throttle at all
    think what you think is knock sensor is actual oil pressure. Knock sensor usually in a blind hole
    As you found out as well when warm up light is on engine throttle is limited, can back fire etc unil light goes out.
    These sleds will last forever if looked after. I have 32,000 kms on mine. Wish i had power steering like yours. Good score !
    Great Video

    The starter of the year award, cant being that didn't cook. Whoa. Good to see nothing major as of yet. Nice looking sled and looks like a very nice score. You got so many toys, garage is full. And outside too. Dang, i spotted a new atv cover on the atv. Very nice.

    knock sensor will be near the manifold. I can tell how excited you are.. LOL I would want to ride the 1000 too, they are so fun. When you get it going and feel comfortable it will be so rewarding. Check or change all the sensors. More than likely all of them melted. Most are only rated for a certain heat level, they are supposed to fail in the event of overheat. That way you get all these codes and it stops a person from mechanical damage. Fail points are engineered into everything with a gas motor. Your gonna want to put a longer track on it for sure. For the price I would add a long track. Good Score man!!

  • @mikejones420

    next video, joe replaces a starter on the sled, lol. Also, knock sensors dont have holes in them for oil to pass through, that is a low oil pressure sensor, knock sensors are piezo type sensors that sense a knock or ping by sensing a pulsation or pressure wave through the block. the knock sensor would have been the sensor located above the oil pressure sensor screwed into the block. Joe you aren't stupid, you can certainly fix it, no doubt about that, sometimes( well most times) internet searches can lead you on a wild goose chase, lol. I used to be a yamaha mechanic, and their sleds are a nightmare to work on.

  • @grendel1960a

    just a thought, you added teflon tape to the thread of the knock sensor- could it be you have interrupted its ground path.

  • @cadman9615
    @cadman9615 Год назад +2

    That’s awesome!! When I saw this snowmobile in the end of the Suzuki 450 rebuild I said “man he needs to get that thing running with all that snow”. Must of had the same thoughts…lol. That thing looks fun as hell. I rode my friends once waaay back when I was abt 13-14, & haven’t been on one since. Todays sleds look like sooo much fun. Nice job getting that thing figured out. Now you can take Vinny for a ride sittin in front of you

  • @bigson1973

    A tip for you. When working on snowmobiles, take the belt off before trying to start them. Your wall and sled may thank you for it

    • @martyfield694
      @martyfield694 Год назад +7

      Or get a stand to get the track off the floor, but do something.

    • @ksngs78
      @ksngs78 Год назад +3

      Like previously said - lift off the track. Taking off belt can be bad idea - sudden rev will damage the primary clutch by smashing sheaves without belt.

    • @gregdeguerre8804
      @gregdeguerre8804 Год назад +1

      Don’t rev up a sled without a belt on. You’ll wreck the primary

  • @paule4696
    @paule4696 Год назад +3

    Is there a reason you don't use starter fluid? It seems to me that you could rule out spark/fuel issues with a few shots of the stuff. It would save a lot of abuse on the starter. I'm surprised you didn't burn that one up.

    I normally pull the belt. Just don’t rev it hard enough go close the primary hard.

    Yamahas are famous for fouling plugs from oil injection settings on cable, got to find that sweet spot, you probably know that right? you set it measuring how much distance between the end of outer cable as you pull out from seating, most are around 1inch, easy fix if too rich, temperamental believe just saying, from a nobody up in maine, ya I’m jealous 🤔, love your content!👍🏻🇺🇸

  • @NoConsent33
    @NoConsent33 Год назад +1

    On sensors you can check the ohms with a simple voltage tester. All sensors are is resistance... too much or too little and the sensor is bad. I always test them and can check with spec sheets to see what the range should be. If there isn't info I just buy a new sensor and test it before I put it in and note it in the manual so I, or the next guy has it for referance. I hope that makes sense. TEST THE SENSORS TO SEE IF THEY ARE GOOD OR BAD WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OUT OR SEE A CODE! It will save you so many headaches.

    just for easy use, that hand fuel transfer pump is a syphon pump. As long as your fuel is above the empty can , one or two squeezes on the hand bulb will start the transfer and empty the tank.
