Hey JKD can you do a Yamaha raptor 660?
Good to see it un-blow’d up brother💪
I was thinking of you on that thumbnail 😂😂
Great job.
u mentioned the amount of play in the output shaft i believe... as "future problems" could this be the problem? doesnt the ignition run off the output shaft?
@@dmayse1000 no, it runs directly off the crank.
Frauds
I am the least mechanically inclined out of my three brothers. You have taught me more than they have in the few months I've subscribed to your channel. Thank you bro!
Good shit dude!
I grew up in the same boat. Your family looks at you crazy when you suggest fixing your own car yourself.
That's an ignition issue. I've had 5 blasters in my time, that's not a fuel issue. The stock pipe was great, the stock carb was perfect, and they actually ran REALLY well once you deleted the fuel/oil mixer. That one is losing spark under load or the ports are so bad on the cylinder it's cutting out under extreme load. I still say it's coil/wire/plug issue. Those bikes are AMAZING for their size and with a little work they can make really good power. You're making me want another one..
Crank seals, had metal in it, seals are first thing to get damaged I’d be willing to bet money on it
could it be that the loose crank bearings (we saw the play when he reassembled the engine) mess with the spark timing? given enough play in the bearings id bet the timing would be all over. if it was a points system it would probs dont even spark at all, had that with a 78 Suzuki GT50...
@@Handyman1199 The Blasters engine is literally the staple of slapped together and make it run. The ignition assembly, which you didn't get to see much of the electronics, you can see the stators on the table @13:31. Most likely there's a problem with those coming in contact with metal, the pickup being bad, or even the CDI being bad. The crank bearings? Well they'll fail before those stators will lose enough ability to bring a charge to the CDI where it won't fire. Remember, those little 200's only have a somewhere in the 6:1 compression ratio, a very small chamber and it doesn't take much to fire. I've seen them run on 24:1 shit fuel and 50:1 race mix. The 200 Blaster is probably one of the simplest engines out there and they'll run with just about anything wrong aside from major failures. If it was my bike, I'd flop the CDI first, then the pickup, and then the stator assembly. I've NEVER seen a stator assembly die/fail but the possibility is there.
I was suspect of CDI or trigger coil as well
@@JunkyardDigs Most likely it's the CDI, probably got wet sometime and they weren't known for being well sealed. Eventually corroded and this is what you're left with. If you want to preserve it a bit, buy yourself a thick balloon and use that as a cover, that's what we used to do with them when we'd be out in the wet and snow.
Could be the cheap coil breaking down after warm up and higher revs
or possibly a broke ignition wire somewhere
I need more junkyard digs right now man. You are the absolute greatest!!!!!
I agree
I'm with this guy!!!
Welcome to the team, we all need more JYD ❤❤
I'm with THIS GUY!!!!!! WE ALL need MOAR JYD!!!!!!!!!
Honestly JYD makes my days better. I feel like when a new one comes out its something to look forward too.@@Bimmerguy88
Can not wait to see you and PBG hang out again. Those videos are amazing.
Maybe he could sway Kevin to the fabulousness of JAAAAG ownership
Dalton and Kevin are those two kids in school who were never allowed to sit next to each other 😂
First 2 stroke quad was a Polaris 250 TrailBoss. Lots of great memories with that machine including burning hundreds of gallons of dads gas and as much cheap TCW-3 as he would keep on the shelf lol. Now 20+ years later I’m that dad buying my son a 250 TrailBlazer, blowing it up from a failed oil pump and learning how to rebuild it. Genuine Chinesium piston to the rescue!
You should really do these smaller type engine rebuilds! super fun to watch.
keep up the great work man.
Definitely go through the ignition system. Timing is everything on a 2-stroke, plus any Chinese parts probably won't give a decent spark.
Failing that, double check for air leaks and reed valve sealing (fiber reeds are good with an after-market exhaust)
I love the variety of content.. do more small engines please.. You are always great to watch.
I respect the right to privacy and would never come to your shop but do you and Mook ever do any local meet and greets like octemberfest...big fan of your content and have fun watching older videos as we all wait for your new content. Keep it up Kevin you have made it entertaining and very informative. Ty
Good to hear that the Bonneville is getting the business, its going to be awesome. Also this small engine content is always a great change of pace. I always wanted a Banshee, Raptor, or a Blaster unfortunately it just wasn't in the cards.
I liked your revival, it shows you what can be done with just a few tools. Also, your experience pays off as well. Hey, it's wheels, you can't beat that.
Seeing your troubleshooting process, even without regard to the specific engine/vehicle (though that's awesome in its own way for anyone who has the same issue) is invaluable because the viewer learns how to attack a problem and solve it systematically. It's so easy to get overwhelmed and say "f**k it!! - these videos help cut through that noise and static of frustration. Much appreciated, SPC Brown!
Those hand impact screwdrivers are awesome for getting the phillips screws out of brake discs
Before the snow flies you should do a fleet update video, ride around the yard and the shop and tell us what's around.
Agreed, that's a LOT of cars in that video. Makes you wonder whether he's fixing them just to abandon them again... so he can fix them again?
@@rockboundwealthmanagement4465 Doesn't it get to a point where it's just too many?
Again it’s the best when junkyard digs posts 😊
One thing I suggest is you get one of the cheap central pneumatic air chisels from harbor freight for when you're using a Shake N Break, the knob on the bottom for adjusting the power of the chisel is usually pretty annoying, but for a Shake N Break it's really nice for being able to set your max power and go. The air chisels that have the variable trigger (at least in my opinion) aren't as good for it.
Its always a good day when JD uploads
Always happy to see a junkyard digs vid to come out
i really liked the 2 stroke street bike you did and the snowmobile stuff so if you randomly inject videos like this into your schedule i'll probably watch them. this market isn't anywhere near as saturated as the car revivals and a lot more achievable at home by the diy guy from a financial standpoint.
i'm also really enjoying your (from a long time viewer) newfound appreciation for old gm land barges.
edit: can't spell
Another great video. The sound of a 2-stroke reminds me of a 1975 Kawasaki 400 two- stroke triple that I used to own equipped with chambers. From idle up to around 2500rpm it was sort of doggie. Then between 2500rpm and 3500rpm it would kinda wake up. From 3500rpm to the red line that bike turned into a rocket. What I really remember was the change in the exhaust tone as it went up the rpm range. It went from popping corn to an angry shriek. A well tuned 2-stroke with an expansion chamber is music to my ears.🏍
Blaster top-end ting could be a whole new percussive element in a sample kit for budding producers
Back in the 1980s I used to work as a motorcycle electrician and if I remember correctly, those bikes have a CDI ignition system with a separate high voltage ignition winding in the alternator that charges a capacitor, that's then discharged into the ignition coil. Quite often ignition problems like those your having are caused by a bad alternator stator winding where the insulation is starting to break down at high rpm. However as you say the ignition coil has been replaced with some sort of after market part, I would try changing that first as if it's not the correct type meant for a CDI system, that would also cause problems. Also the ignition coil is a lot easier and cheaper to swap out than the stator winding. Good luck with fixing it as it looks like a fun bike.
Spot on, except there's no alternator. The CDI box could be sus though, no doubt. Should be plenty of aftermarket replacements. :)
I had one as a kid. Blew it up and learned how to rebuild it myself. Good times 🍻
My family purchased a Yamaha Timberwolf brand new in 1999, it is absolutely the highest quality mechanical item I have ever had the pleasure to work on. Every screw, every piece of hardware, just feels like quality and fits perfectly. The only serious issue has been a very warn out Mikuni carburetor.
So far I’ve been watching you for a month and so far I haven’t seen you fix anything right. Anyone can make things run but it takes a real mechanic to do it correctly.
Those blasters are a blast to ride. Love your content!
I guess that's why they call them blasters😂
@@copperhead6132 totally 🤣
Just as I'm about to go to bed I see a Junkyard Digs notification 😂.
I love waking up to a junkyard digs video.....keep doing what ya doing brother. Much love from the uk 🇬🇧
I was thinking: I need to go watch a four wheeler revival and as soon as I opened my laptop, I see that junkyard digs has posted another banger so of course, I click on it. Keep up the good work Kevin
thanks for uploading another great video! Keep up the awesome job guys!
I have 2 blaster just like yours. One just rebuilt, the other waiting on parts. Finicky yes, but fun as hell to ride once you get it right. pt 2 on this thing would be sweet.
yalls kitchen with all the oak is absolutely adorable!
What a great episode. You're my favorite car channel. I'd love to learn how you became such a good mechanic. It's nice to see someone who doesn't cut corners for likes. Please tell me that Mustang II outside the shop is in the future. Keep up the excellent content!
Love it good to see things get a new life
I always enjoy your videos they are very educational and I am impressed at how easy it was to get the 4 wheeler to run.
I can always learn new things
Another great video, would love to see you explain the carbs. You are great at explaining that kind of stuff in detail and making it understandable.
Correction, att. New viewers , there is no normal content on this channel. Lol.
Actually, JYD. Is a well-educated and talented mechanic with a wicked sense of humor. Hang on and watch. Central California watching
Love you all I am a big fan of the channel I love your sense of humor and the van™ can't wait for next weeks vid.
Love your content! Keep up the great work!
Hey Kevin, you should fix that purple Ranger you drove in highschool out of some junk or something. I think it'd be neat for a nostalgia trip of some sort from you.
Is there a new snow mobile challenge this year by chance. I really enjoyed watching that and you are the grand marshal when keeping the challenge going strong.
Interesting to learn that your first vehicle revival was a second gen Ranger. So was mine. 1997 Single cab Flare side 2.3L 5 speed. Love those little trucks.
I had a lowered '98 with a 2.5 and 5spd. 233K and wore out completely. Had no power and everything past the spark plug holes looked horrible.
But it somehow got 30+MPG while being drove like I stole it (to keep up with traffic) on a trip.
It also had basically no compression left but it never smoked or used any fluids.
I had two different Rangers in my life. The first one was a green and gold 1985 2wd with a 2.0 four and a 5 speed. That one I blew its engine twice. The second one was a 1991 Ranger Splash edition with the 2.9 V6 and a five speed. It was also 4 wheel drive. I could go up to areas where my uncle couldn't go with his larger F250. Was handy going to fix fences in our pastures.
@@carlbernard4197 I wish the engine wasn't so wore out and gutless in my old one. 4WD and/or at least stock height would've been preferred too.
@@jamesstoy8967 my 97' is at a 3/5 drop right now and yeah mines slow as hell too. Have to rev it out to 4k just to keep up. Had an 03' fx4 as my first car and the 4.0 exploded as they tend to do.
@@carlbernard4197 exactly what they're for, little runaround do it all pickups. Great farm beaters.
I love the videos, I wish you could put out more, keep up the great work!!!!
Cut out under load usually means coil fault. Fun video to watch. Haven't played on 2 stroke stuff in quite some time.
I have to say I have watched almost all your videos. I've been watching you since you first started posting them... and it was nice to see you do a quad... keep the great content coming and Have a great weekend!!
Kevin another completed project. 2 strokes are hard to get right. But, it’s not bad either. Thank you for sharing!
💯👍👊
If it’s Still cutting out you should check the packing in the silencer if it was running rich before the engine blew it could be clogged up restricting the exhaust flow
The exhaust is not plugged, it wouldn't run at all if it was.
@@JoeRocket-sf6qs I didn’t say it was completely clogged but it does restrict if it has any built up to struggle oil trust me I used to race motocross in New England
Don't think that's the issue, but still not a bad thing to check.
I need more junkyard digs right now man. You are the absolute greatest
Gotta love when your looking. For somthing to watch and get the notification junkyard digs post
Kevin, did I miss something or @36:43 when you put the seat back on after cleaning the filter, you forgot to put the filter back on?
I was wondering about that too. Running no filter on that is a _big_ no-no!
All he needs to do is degrease and clean it, then re-oil it and he'll be set as far as that goes.
I think you should check the crank seals.
This was a super-satisfying rehab. Thank you!
Worked at the local Honda dealer right after graduating high school. Had a lot of two strokes come in that had been brought in that had been pretty butchered by people who thought they knew what they were doing. On several occasions the bike or wheelers had been gotten to run after several years of sitting somewhere. 9 times out of 10 the seals in the crankcase had dried up and crumbled leading to a vacuum leak at the crank seal. Usually not a big deal at lower rpm but when the engine gets up on the pipe that lean condition burns the top out of the piston. If the piston top isn’t burned out first the rings are the other culprit for a top end coming apart. The extreme heat from running lean kills ring tension as well as the lean condition causing scoring in the cylinder from lack of lubrication ( lean condition on two strokes also means less oil mix from the fuel to lubricate everything ). Another common problem was with ignition, people would grab any plug that would thread in the head without hitting the dome of the piston. Commonly they had grabbed an automotive plug for a newer vehicle which are resistor type spark plugs so that they don’t cause interference with cars computer systems or static in the radio, great for a car but not a high rpm bike engine.
Get yourself a good plug boot and correct spark plug to begin with. Check the air gap between your flywheel and the stator as well, also another source of weak ignition. You’re absolutely right about the junk Chinese coils as well. After that, start checking grounding and continuity in the wiring. Probably not much help to you here Kevin but maybe it was worth it to give you an idea of another place to look for the problem. Good luck with it and great video again, glad to see it.
I’d replace the crank seals. Will cause weird lean issues. A failing stator can definitely cause your issues too
He needs to do a leak down test.. That'll confirm bad seals or not.
He said he had em out to clean the cases so I wonder if he put new ones in or out the old ones in
@@callumdonington2227I know he took the flywheel side apart, but I don't think he took the driven side apart. I'd have taken it apart and cleaned the case where the crank runs, flushed the metal out of the bearing and changed the crank seal
Proper coil, new plug and plug wire will most likely fix it.
A new coil should come with the wire & boot already on it. Slap a new NGK BR8ES plug in there and see what happens. ;)
Back in the "day" I used to be able to buy a wiseco piston, ring set, and rod for 100-150 bucks. I was buying blown up blasters out of the newspaper for under 500 bucks. Rebuild them, clean em up, and flip them for 1000-1200. I also did other 4 wheelers that usually needed minor repairs.
I did this until I had enough cash to go buy a brand new 400EX in 2001.
11:09 this is s very good example/explanation of how a clutch works i kinda undestood but anything i didint u cleared up thx for that
The air filter being greasy is probably air filter oil spray on to help catch smaller dust n crap but if your riding with others n your n the back of the pack u & the air filter r going to catch a lot of dust
No, it's just filthy dirty, neglected and needs cleaned asap.. I wouldn't run it with or without that filter as-is. If he just sprays it down with Degreaser l, wash it out real good, then re-oil it, it should be good as new.
Looks like I’m not sleeping for 40 minutes
Thanks for the change up on content. Makes me me want to fix a YFZ450 that I lean locked in the shop about 10 years ago.
I would love more revivals on 90,s cars as those are more available in my area. Would love to learn more. Hard for me to find a channel about working on cars that isn’t dry and boring.
Love to see another old Sled Challenge this winter.
@41:58 "Ernest Goes to Camp" (1987) When Ernest's golf cart starts moving on its own and it shows up periodically throughout the film driving by its self.
Loving the variety. Awesome video.
Finally, a new video 😂 I've been waiting just for a new video because I already watch old content of yours on repeat🤣
Great video. I'm glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Huge congrats on 1 million subscriber 🎉🎉🎉
Always a kid inside. Love you guys
Man, a 99 Blaster was my first ATV. $500 in like 2015 got me a 99 Blaster, with a title. I knew nothing when I bought it, but as I came to learn it was a fully built race bike. Big bore kit, bigger carb jetted amazingly, full exhaust kit, full race plastics, etc. if there was a performance part made for a blaster, this thing had it. Ran amazing too, my 230lbs fatass could pin it while cruising in 4th gear and it would pull the front wheels up. I raced a friend who had a new Raptor 700 and we were neck and neck. Good times, good times.
the clutch basket is toast. All those grooves are the reason why they were stuck.
Absolutly love the two stroke stuff 👌🏽😁
Oh god... The Right Stuff on the case halves!!!! Getting that thing back apart to fix that sloppy clutch is going to be FUN!!!.
Really need a tube of Yamabond5 for those cases (and you'll fall in love with it for car stuff too). Along with Yamabond4 for the 'normal' stuff.
Also, speaking as an ex-Yamaha service manager, you might have figured out on Blasters, be VERY VERY carefull putting the screw-on top of the carb. They're easy to crossthread, then leak air afterwards. That alone is the main reason I had to rebuild blown up Blasters back in the day. Sucks raw air and melts the piston.
Second only to the guys that would jet spray the engine and blow the base gasket into the crankcase.
Oh, and if you ever decide to build it right, don't go with Wiseco. Get a factory Yamaha cast piston and rings. On those engines, the stock 'junk' just flat out works better.
Also, you can tell if any parts are OEM Yamaha for a Blaster if they have a ''2XJ'' casting or marking on the parts. 2XJ is the prefix code for the first Blaster in '88
Thankfully the RTV was on the other side of the case 🤘
@@JunkyardDigs And thankfully Blasters don't have oil pumps. The Right Stuff worms are no joke!! lol
@@JunkyardDigs The electrical switch on the carb is safety shit (that will get on your nerves). It had nothing to do with your ignition timing. It will kill your spark if the safety crap thinks your thumb throttle is closed and the carb is open.
The logic is to kill the ignition if you let off the gas and the carb hangs open.
You know because a 2stroke makes sooooo much torque and you'll hit a tree at 200MPH, AND we're all too stupid to just pull in the clutch and hit the kill switch. :D
Feel free to jump out all the switches of safety to avoid troubleshooting drama in the future. (I can't recall 100% if they're N.O. or N.C.)
its awesome to see what vehicles you still have
I hope you can eventually have a blast with the blaster
if this becomes a series, please do a 30 over bore out, it makes them soooooo much better.
Some of the old bikes had a pre filter in the petcock that clogs up like a champ. 👍
I did everything by ear and riding I'm never going to stop learning keep up the awesome content
Cool to finally see some quad content, race quad or bike next?
Good job, and cool of you to offer it back to the guy. Really interested in seeing how to do small engine tuning done properly. I can usually get there in the end, but I'm moslt guessing! If you can do it using the Keihin carbs found on little Hondas (like the ones you showed when you did the voiceover) that would be awesome too! Thanks!
the first thing I think of when I heard you say you are going to Minnesota is "Kevin, Dalton, and maybe Angus... oh that's gonna be good :) "
if a 2-stroke has fast speed problems, turn the high mix up until it intermittently 4-strokes. The richer mix and extra stroke will help lube the cylinder and cool the combustion chamber.
Just did a similar thing with an 86’ Honda ATV after sitting for a decade. Great video man!
Love seeing the small-engine stuff.
I really enjoy the small engine stuff !
So good to see some 2 smoke content Kevin !! Just a quick one, I did notice you didnt mention heat cycling the motor to run it in at all ...
Literally watching some old JYD videos when i got the notification for this one. Clicked immediately!
Great daily driver for Mook. Nice job!
Also collab with Speed bump Garage!! That kid rocks!!
Always learnin' something from you! 👍 great video!
I love a JYD-PBG collab!!
What a cute little quad. Nice to see it running again.
That bonneville series is going to be sweet! 🤘🤘
Junkyard digs is the best. Are you thinking of fully restoring any of your cars?
I would love to hear that 2 stroke engine being completely happy one day. keep up the good work
I saw my favorite car in the background near the end. The salvaged Mustang II. Please tell me it will be making a comeback because it deserves it. And may be get John motivated to help get his Mustang working as well. A two Mustang video on both channels would remind me of bad things but give me hope that those things can indeed be fixed. Please make this happen!!!
Great job to step up and get ATV back in hands that has meaningful connection to it.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing 😊
