      The fuel pumps in those should be replaced every 8k with a top end. The pumps are famous for getting weak on 1 side and causing a lean condition. Unfortunately, there are no rebuild kits for them. You have to buy a new pump. The Yamaha brand one only works. Unless you want to just pre-mix your gas. Then you can buy a generic one. No generic pump mixes the oil in the pump like the Yamaha ones.

    Hey Jeremy, that sled has a tool kit, you can see it at 9:27, its a little black plastic box held down with a rubber strap, under the hood just above where your right foot would be if you were riding. They're supposed to have a spark plug wrench, pliers, a couple screwdrivers and a couple wrenches in them

    • @Gizmos_and_stuff

    @fourbyfourer 7 месяцев назад +3

    @ 3:15 That is from a beaver. And he didn't fall through, that's his hole that he uses to go from on top of the ice to back down under. Because of him moving around there the ice is really thin so it doesn't freeze over that much. Don't worry Jeremy, he didn't drown he is fine 😂

    Nother great vid, definitely do more riding vids and fixing vids. Sleds in the winter, KLR / other toys in the summer and fixing/tinkering vids all year round!
    May I suggest doing a tour of the sleds + other pitters you have? Nothing too in depth, just show us whatcha got etc

    @burnoutking0712 7 месяцев назад

    Jeremy, I've been watching you for about 5 or 6 years now. I've seen you halfway jump it for a long time on the old MXZ 700 but, you should fully jump across the road that goes up the mountain, between the 2 fields. Also, it would be neat to see some summer videos this year, 4 Wheeler camping, maybe some KLR videos if you still have it. Thanks for making these videos still, hope you reach 100K this year.

    I've never bought a used sled that wasn't loaded with problems. Gotta go over the entire machine and fix all the problems to help prevent a breakdown in the bush. The sellers lie, never tell the buyer about "everything " that's wrong, and who sells there sled, bike etc... when everything is in good shape and working well. Nobody, why would you? Nope it's ridden and neglected and once the problems pile up they sell it and still think their garbage, they don't wanna fix, is worth top dollar.

      Не все так делают. Я восстанавливаю старые снегоходы до очень приличного уровня, главный критерий - надежная работа всех узлов и агрегатов. Мои покупатели постоянно со мной в контакте присылают фото с рыбалки, охоты и просто покатушек или звонят за советом... Я восстанавливаю их для себя, езжу далеко и один(если что помощи не будет), но спустя сезон, другой хочется попробовать другой снегоход и я вынужден продавать полностью исправную машину, чтобы купить другую...
