I was told by an old mechanic that if an issue appears out of nowhere and it makes no sense-it's usually electronic/electrical.
@@Tsitris46 you're not supposed to say the word old because they think we know nothing
They can foam all over him I was a better mechanic at his age that's why I give him so much s*** because he f**** up so much
You can say anything you want about me because I've made my living doing this stuff professionally not in the garage with more money than sense I made money doing this . If I see something he screws up and says wrong I will point it out get over it grow up get a set
@@RonaldDaub-v9yWhy so butthurt over a video ? Are you on the rag this week or something ?
Yep
@@RonaldDaub-v9y Are you arguing with yourself again?
@@RonaldDaub-v9yEveryone learns differently, He's learning in the age of 2024 and you learned in the age of 70s and 80s, He's doing good at teaching himself and learning, I'm for sure you started off not knowing everything, nobody does and nobody could, So he's doing just fine, And he's learning more and more everyday, What else could you ask for out of him, I'm 64 years old and in my time i was pretty good at working on Bicycles, Dirt bikes, then cars, Even to this day I've haven't had to take nothing to a shop, Or get rid of something cause I couldn't fix it, I did give up on 1 van that needed a transmission and I didn't wanna do it, I replaced a few of the solenoids and everything I could on it without pulling it, And then just gave up on it, And being a mechanic, I think that's not that bad of a record , I'm for sure I've owned 20 or 30 Vehicles in my time, In my early days i'm for sure I pulled 40/50 engines just using a tree limb in my front yard, Just learning as I go, The same thing Joe is doing now, And he's learning very well and he's learning very quickly,
Previous Owner: _3 Mechanics cannot get it to run_
Joe: _Hold My can of WD40_ .
😂😂😂😂
Keyway flywheel busted
🤣 When i first started watching his videos forever ago i would always think to myself. "Man this dude puts WD-40 on literally everything lol".
I heard a best man speech once where the guy said to the bride, "there are only 2 things you need to have for a successful marriage with my brother. Duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it's not supposed to, put duct tape on it. If it isn't moving and it should, cover it with the WD." We all looked at each other and nodded and said, "yeah, what he said."
What does it take for this guy to get a Bike Lift?
bruh, screw CSI Miami, this is my favorite investigation show!!!! love it
Man i wish i could have watched videos like these in the 90's
Me too, I had copies of motocross action and dirtbike that were stacked to the rafters. 👍
I had exactly the same issue with a Suzi DR650 a few months back, fat blue spark when testing but wouldn't run for more than a second or 2.
Went through the entire fuel & electrical system, everything checked out fine so I started replacing all the electrical components 1 by 1 with known-good units from another DR & as soon as I replaced the coil it fired straight up & ran like a clock.
You can't beat having a spare bike lying around!
The spark if it's to blue it's a no go it's gotta be mixed red and blue
Awesome!
No dude the problem was it was a Suzuki dr650
I always find it interesting that people tend to swap coils last when tracing electrical problems. The correct way to do it is start from the plug and work your way back, not the other way around. Plug, boot, wire, coil, chassis grounds, wire harness, stator, cdi. I had a 440 race chassis snowmobile with a 700efi swapped in and the suspension was so stiff that the vibrations would make it destroy a coil every season. It’s very common they shit the bed
You had spark with no compression snuffing it out.
When it would run for a short time and die and then after a few minutes it would do the same thing I knew it was probably the coil. The small wires inside the coil had a broken wire when it ran the coil would expand and the broken wire would separate and shut the power off ,when the bike sat for a few minutes the coil would cool off and the broken wire would make a connection and the bike would run. I had this issue back in the 70s on a 55 Chevrolet car I owned that was doing the same thing. After replacing the points,plugs ,carburetor and still having the same issue a old mechanic I knew told me to replace the coil and it ran like a top. He then explained what was going on with the coil. It never made sense to me before he explained it because every time it stopped running I checked the spark and it was fine because it only took a couple minutes for the coil to cool enough to work. I never forgot that lesson I learned as a young man .
Joe is the ultimate mechanical genius. I’ve never seen him give up on a project, nor fail at a project.
Apart from the mini bike that caught fire 😂
the one he buried in the bqck yqrd
The air boat thing
Hes turned a few into parts bikes
Love that you know the failed projects like the buried one! 😂😂😂
I love watching a good problem solver at work!
I bet that dude who sold it is so effing mad 😡!! Good job👏
I sold it to him. What he doesn't know is the engine is stolen 😂😂😂
@@I_am_BiG_Al Sure there bud, I highly doubt you sold it to him.

@@frankyg2384 Jesus, grow a sense of humor will ya.
No one likes s spoiler bud
Its pretty sad when these supposed mechanics looked at it and could not get it running but you did the trial and error method to make sure something wasnt over looked but obviously something was. Good job getting it running bro. Love your videos
If there's a backlog of 20 bikes waiting to be fixed, you can't afford to spend a lot of time on one bike. Time is money. They cut their losses and move on to the next.
My guessing is TIME, in my experience most shops are assembly lines, get then out the door. More than an hour total - forget it
@@opus5150 that is the world we live in these days. Nobody is honest or old school anymore.
I mean aren't they literally paid per hour? So why does it matter
yep, he went through process of elimination , it had proper compression , woodruff key good not sheared etc so just like fixing lawn mowers he had to change /test everything in the electrical to get it to show
Joe's sheer will power and the power of the "Kicking Boot" brought it back to life. The coil is just sitting there. Add coil resistance to the list of easy things to check.
@@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez ohms
As others had said, intermittent stoppage usually is electrical. In real world mechanics keep things like cdi, coils, stators that they know work so they can quickly swap things to identify bad parts. Its weird with good compression, when Joe started engine in garage it was really smoking but not when he rode the bike later. Still entertaining video @RonaldDaub-v9y
I was screaming coil so loud and so long that my dog left the room. Lol
yep, but did you also see the ngk new plug wasnt good and trying to mask the real problem
Also iridium spark plugs don't make good spark, especially on 2-stroke bikes.
They are overall not recommended.
Joe, when you walk, do you tend to vear to the left? With all the kicking you do to get your bikes to start, your right leg has got to be 10 times stronger than your right.😅
Does he have 2 right legs?????
Me too... my right leg is stronger than my right and I walk in circles all day.
@@billycapshew2411😅😅😅
It's because he needs a bike lift! Never seen anyone work at that many bikes and work on them the way he does. I would have bought a lift before a spark plug checker... just saying.
@@gags730 he first needs the shop to put it in ,I can understand that he doesn't want to put a lift in his garage, even though he has done it in a small space his whole life
I sheared a woodruff key years ago on an IT200, she still fired up but was running backwards, i'll never forget when I let off the clutch and started going backwards 😂
Lol
@@polaris_extremis seen kx 80 do same
@@kevinbosworth3 yikes, I had a kx85, luckily never gave me problems
Thanks for sharing I did not know a bike could do that I bet it felt weird I would have had to try see if I could ride it like that
I had a rd 400 that would do that because of a weird aftermarket ignition system. First time I did it I almost went over the bars when I let out the clutch! Then I found that a half kick would start it running backwards every time! It always was a fun trick to mess with people!
You stated early on that it had to be an electrical issue and you were right, just took a little time to isolate. It amazes me that this relatively simple swap out part wasn't tried previously. Good score!
After you eliminated the motor and carb, we knew it had to be electrical, I guess he didn`t want to buy a new stator, that didn`t work, then buy a new CDI, that didn`t work, next buy a new coil and he would have been a happy camper. You happened to have a 250 sitting there to swap out parts, saved a whole lot of money, I tell you what, that guy could rebuild my bike any day of the week, the rebuild and carb were spot on, that motor screams. I always had 125`s, I weigh 155 lbs, I borrowed my buddies 250 CR once and I couldn`t keep the front wheel on the ground, they have a ton of power, well done sir.
I've learned after a lot of mistakes, that electrical components can test fine . But under load it's a whole diff story ...sometimes the only way to get an answer is swap with a good know part like you did ......even then it can leave you scratching your head
You get the most patient man in the world trophy.
Man I was yelling at the TV to check float level and coil. Lol learned my lesson along time ago just because it sparks outside doesn't mean it sparks once under compression.
Got a stack of coils in a box all newer. Most did the same thing. Electrical components can be hit or miss, depending on what it is. Great job.
An in line spark tester would be very helpful in this situation.
Was thinking the same thing. He should have had a timing light or something if he believed spark was dying, would have told him Right away.
Listen to that suspension squeak. We always get engine rebuild videos, but I would like Joe to rebuild the forks and replace the suspension bushings on some of these old bikes. It's expensive to have the work done and it would be good content for the viewers that have older bikes.
To me it sounded more like the new tire against the floor.
@@HOZENBIGI disagree, that's mostly bushing and pivots squeaking, with only a little tire squeak if any.
3:30 into yhe video he's on pavement trying to start it. Not a single squeak. The squeaks u hear later are all tires on floor
@@joeshafer83 I'm wearing headphones and can still hear the creaking and squeaking when he's on the pavement outside. The acoustics in his garage just makes it more audible when he's kicking on it later in the vid. For sure sounds like bushings to my ears.
My guess is an electrical problem or timing issue. We shall see and this should be interesting.
Wow, half way through and I am a bit stumped. China spark plug? Hmmm, coil?
Dang! It was the coil and it still had spark? I dunno, scratchin' my head.........how can that be?
THIS IS A GREAT CHANNEL!!!
2 strokes dont have timing chain
@@mr.shhnow6294 I never said anything about a timing chain but a 2 stroke does have timing based on a relation to top dead center of the piston. So what's your point?
@@richardstone5241 how you supposed to time something that doesn't have a timing system u just proved ny point 😂
@@mr.shhnow6294 Dude! Go find someone else to be an ass*ole to that actually gives a sh*t about what you have to say while you sit in your armchair eating chips and getting crumbs on the t-shirt you have been wearing for a month!
@@mr.shhnow6294marks on stator with a slit for adjustment on 2 stroke so yes they do have a way to time them.
you should buy a mains elec bike starter , will save you a LOT of aggro starting your bikes
I have seen the sleeve in an air cooled 2 stroke spin and block the ports part way. Acted the same way , just quit wouldn't start. I think those late 80s CRs are a tough looking bike !
Right when you got to the spark 🔌 I was thinking it was the coil nice job fixing the issue love watching your videos
Never take a sellers word concerning their troubleshooting. Start over and do your own troubleshooting.
Electricity 101:....NEVER trust anyone saying a Circuit is "DEAD"... Verify and Ground it yourself...!
You can't blame him too much. What he said he did do was correct. Sadly most people tend to stop at fuel and compression but forget to check what makes the magic happen. It must have been the fact that the bike had a great spark yet didn't want to run. So he was stumped with its' symptoms.
@@Slane583 Yeah, that fat spark did indicate the coil was good. My first guess was the kill switch shorting out from vibration, but that was because of personal bias. I repair PCs, and had several come in because of apparent 'thermal shutdown' under increased load, but it was actually the power switch gone bad. But the switch 'worked fine' to power the PC on, so THAT couldn't be the problem, right? However, the slight vibrations from the case fans ramping up under load would eventually cause the faulty switch to short at various intervals and power down the rig. My first check with this symptom is to unplug the power switch and short the pins on the mobo to boot the PC. The symptoms are often deceptive, so eliminating the super easy fix first has saved me many hours of pointless troubleshooting.
Having known good parts to swap out is invaluable. Indeed, two is one, and one is none. I love watching the process of diagnosing these machines.
@@jameshanna8762 Trouble shooting is a pain for sure but rewarding when the problem is finally solved. I build pc's for fun when the funds allow. My nephews friend brought his gaming pc over to my older brothers house sometime last month because it was acting up on him. So my nephew and him gave their hand at problem solving for their first time. When I found out I offered to help them out.
We did some tests and in the end we found out it was thermal throttling while it was being stressed. So it would black screen and shut off. Whoever the previous owner was that built the computer before he bought it put the cheapest heatsink on it they could get their hands on. It wasn't powerful enough so the computer would over heat every time he tried playing his games.
Since it's an older Ryzen system I happened to still have my old Wraith Prism cooler from my 3700X and installed that with some fresh thermal paste. Since he was only a young teen and saved for the summer to get that computer I just let him have the heatsink. It was no loss to me. His computer has been fine ever since.
To seller's credit, everything he said was true.
I love to see a tricky problem get solved for almost free and very little labor. Watching you work on that Side by Side last week was giving me a back ache and every other kind of ache. Wore me out man. I needed a less strenuous job today to recover. 😀
Love all your videos qnd i dont even have a dirtbike anymore lol. Just one thing i ask...if you ever read this, please wear EAR PLUGS at least in the garage...will save your hearing for the future.
Keep em coming, you are the man!
Remember Joe, there is an O-ring on that brass insert for the needle and seat that leak all the time internally so if you were to put pressure with a vacuum pump on the fuel line and squirt the brass insert with brake clean you can see if it bubbles
That sounds Crisp, well done once again, there’s not much gets past you!!👍👍👍
Years ago I had a kx250 that someone put a kdx200 motor in it and it was the best bike I ever owned... Should have never sold it😂
That's a very weird swap. Sounds like someone was serious about their enduro racing.
😢Famous last words Should have never sold it. My car in high school 1958 Buick Super, My first street bike (big boy bike) 1975 Honda CR750
@KixBryant I have a kx500 that someone put a quadzilla swap in ( it’s Very scary to ride, I’ve had it hit over a 140mph in a wheelie )
@richgwozdz8580😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bullshit
@@stkyfngrszmoothdef a weird swap. The most common swap I see in the hybrid groups are KDX 200 engines in newer KX125 frames
Wow. I could have saved you all that work. I had a 90 cr500 same problem. I put $$$$$ into the bike. It would run fine and then nothing. First thing I said to my wife it's the coil! It's the coil.😅 50:58
Persistence usually pays off. Well done!
Joe I personally had a brand new Honda CR250 1993 and I'll tell you what 198 compression that bike is going to absolutely haul ass !!!!!!!
Me too, bought mine in May of 93 still have it. Still runs like a raped ape, always has.
Man, the wife and I have been really enjoying the videos. U inspired me to buy an 88 trail boss 2 stroke. Me and the little woman are working on it currently. Anyway, thanks again!
Ahh Yes.... the process of elimination. Finally found it, good work! The welded crank seal area though would cause me to sell that thing!
Yeah, Joe has the diagnostic skills of a turnip. Just keep replacing parts until something works. SMH
@@TruthHurtsSomet1m3s Then why watch ?
@@scudger99aaaahh, in the hope that he ups his game.
Throwing parts at it is the amateur’s approach to fault diagnosis.
Joe has experience and tenacity, lacking in electrical fault diagnosis training, that’s all.
The thing is with mechanics, electronics and electrics is the weak area with most mechanics…. Some just can’t get there head around it at all.
@@munter10 It's not exactly the sort of thing I see advertised every day "electronics diagnosis courses for mechanics". Where would you go for that training, unless you took a job and learned on the hoof ?
I am an engineer of a different sort, and the "swap loads of parts out until you sort it" is the approach my employer pushes on us.
Otherwise it means training guys to the required standard, and that costs money.
I love how you managed to get those bikes running brother!!!
Love your videos! Great job!!! Only gripe I have is, Vinny is missing, and he should be in more of your vids! LOL
Awesome dude. Front brake line is routed wrong.
I never trust aftermarket electrical parts I always go to OEM and usually never have issues with faulty parts..
I never trust any aftermarket electrical part (from experience lol). You get usually one of two things that happens when you don't go OEM for electrical. 1: You get a faulty part out of the box. 2: It will work out of the box but will fail shortly down the road.
When scenario 2 happens, you are left scratching your head because "There is no possible way it could be the part/s I just replaced 3 months ago" lol.
@@calebhohneke8482 absolutely man it brings so much confusion to the people that don't really know, that's why it's important to go OEM or very close to it as possible otherwise you'll have people chasing their tail not understanding what's going on.
I have learned so much about how bikes run and how to diagnose problems on this channel. Hands down best moto channel ever.
Sometimes, in anything with windings, there could be a break or damage that when cold makes contact, but as things warm up and expand just a little, the contact is broken.
He's too busy bragging on himself to understand things like that but you are correct and this guy is a grandiose beyond belief
@@RonaldDaub-v9y I don't see him being grandiose, never heard Joe claiming he was great or superior. He's learning as he goes, the bad coil lesson here will stick.
FWIW, coil quality has been declining over the last couple decades, as copper prices have increased and more OEM and aftermarket component manufacturing has moved out from Japan, to China/Vietnam/India/etc. They tend to use slightly thinner gauge wire in the windings (as thin as they can get away with, and the coil still work) to save some costs over 1000's of units produced. That thinner wire tends to fail sooner due to vibration, and is much more vulnerable to thermal issues and overcurrent spikes.
This another example of why they say "they don't make them like they used to"...because, race to the bottom (dollar).
@@RonaldDaub-v9y I've never heard him bragging on himself. I do see alot of people in the comments commending him and telling him how great he is. Maybe your conflating how the people view him, vs how he sees himself. I personally find his videos to be quite inspiring. And I commend is hard work and dedication to fixing the projects he chooses to take on
@@2Smoke-AClae47 that's why I know I've done this for 55 years I also do cars and I still am working. I just simply see him and making stupid mistakes most mechanics would not make and saying things like nobody could fix it except me nobody says that in the motorcycle industry that has any brains nobody is proud of themselves or should not be that all I'm saying. I see a grandiose person that can fix things with a lot of money and that's fine but he's not the god or the best maybe he's teaching you something God forbid
@RonaldDaub-v9y I think you may have a personal biased against him. I've watched alot of his videos, and I've never once heard him claim he was the only one to be able to fix a bike, and I don't really see him throw money at bikes. Like this one for example he used parts off a bike too see if it would fix the problem if he was made of money would not just buy brand new parts. I see tons of guys on RUclips that will buy a bike for 2500 then sink 12000 into it. Now please correct me if I'm wrong, this is purely speculation, but I get the sense your abit jealous of him. He seems quite happy doing what he's doin. It seems to be a passion project for him. I assume he has no formal training, so he just learns as he goes. You haven't presented any real evidence to back up your claim. It just seems like a trust me bro moment. It just seems kinda weird to tear a guy down for no apparent reason unless it's jealousy
That CR f'n' RIPS! Smoking deal for sure. Thanks Joe for step by step troubleshooting in the video, very cool!
So it's a 91? With a motor from a 95? And plastics from a 88-89? What a mess
A very nice running and peppy mess though.

Man, I can't believe it came down to the coil after all that troubleshooting! You really went through everything step by step, and it must've been frustrating but the bike sounds amazing now. Props to you for sticking with it and getting it running! This was really cool to watch and learn from!
I'm an electronics guy, not a mechanic by any means, but when you said it just died, I thought coil. I often found components that appeared fine, but did not perform under load.
yep yep and even the new or old ngk plugs under load do funky zap zap .
Can't wait for the next Garage update and to here how some of the stuff worked out that didn't get a 2nd video! Thanks
At the risk of sounding like an armchair expert…a little squirt bottle with premix could possibly speed up the troubleshooting process. At least that would be my (and my late grandfathers) approach to something like this
@@CLPRPSD you can't tell these people anything
@@RonaldDaub-v9y my intent wasn’t to tell anyone. I have learned that I am definitely not always right…but I just wanted to mention it, for those who might find it helpful. This channel is exceptional. Joe really does a good job of staying neutral, not getting emotional, no gimmicks, just his own approach. I appreciate this approach greatly, but that doesn’t mean I don’t question it sometimes :)
That creaking at the swingarm pivot is driving me crazy. I'll never understand how people could let bearings get so dry. A long time ago, I purchased a 1993 YZ 125 with a cracked swingarm. I had a friend weld it up nicely for me and after the first ride it cracked again. Turns out the swingarm bearings were seized causing the swingarm to take all of the pivoting heat. That was a lesson well learned as to why it's so important to keep all of the bearings greased and functioning properly.
I think you'll be getting a phone call from a certain person after this video airs?😂😂😂
Spark under pressure is different from outside combustion chamber in older cars very common coil packs show spark but misfire when under load plus u had strong compression probably giving false causal! Fair play to you for working it out
Before watching.... I would start by trying to start with fuel dribbled in the spark plug hole - if it fires you know cam timing, ignition timing and ignition components likely all good. If it won't fire it is probably not the fuelling causing the problem. Given all that has already been done, I wonder if the keyway has broken allowing the flywheel timing to move ?
Cam timing on a 2 stroke? 😂
@@joshuashepard3557 That's what I was thinking. Um you can rule out cam timing right away.
Love the process of elimination. So surprised no one checked the coil before! Well done sir!
Joe loves kicking a dead horse as well as keep riding a bike for multiple laps when a mechanic's ears know it's not right.Better get himself some left side start bikes before his right leg dies
Nice work Joe. not every day you get one that easy.
Coil - Heh, told you man!
hay im 70 years old your step by step aproch is brillent man i wish i had your doggedness, best shows ever
Talk all you want about Joe but he is a excellent mechanic. He just showed 3 separate mechanics they don't know anything.
When he makes the claim that nobody can fix it every mechanic under the firmament has tried it but The godly Joe mechanic is going to fix it yeah I'm sure he will get it running but he tells a big bulshit of story you believe everything he says I feel sorry for you.
He didn't show anything he's probably making the story up nobody would be his grandiose as he is and be normal
@RonaldDaub-v9y You might want to move out of your mom's basement and get a life.
@@RonaldDaub-v9y in what way is he grandiose?
You are a master at your craft that's for sure, do you have the heart to send your videos to the previous owner?
Bullshit. I've done this for 60 years and it's not just motorcycles it's everything and there is no way any mechanic worth anything would say nobody can fix anything
.. I have learned over the years that anything if you want to fix it can be fixed no matter what you have to do so.
But you're going to get it running I know stop with the diatribe I know you believe the lies about nobody can fix it but you
....😂 Do you know the word grandiosity ?
I agree. There is always a way

@@XJonAye Joe just has enough money that's all there is to it he has some skills but he's still a juvenile
There's always a way if you've got the time, will, and money. Not many have all three.
Coils can spark fine when out the bike, but they fail under load when running! Glad you got it running, it sounds wicked now!
Joe prolly won’t answer, but just to the riding community out there, can you turn a profit on older bikes like these? I don’t mean basket cases I mean bikes that run but need some work. Thanks!
He could easily make $1000 or more on every one the bikes he fixes.
Depends on the location. I'm in New England, and you can still find older bikes that run good for cheap money if you keep your eyes open somewhat easily. With that said, these "specialty" bikes are a hard sell to everyone except the very few people who like this sort of thing, and even then, it'll take some flexibility in price.
Haven't watched end..I'm guessing sheared woodruff key just from the intro. Those are new renthals so I'm guessing the seller embellished what he did
Depends on location and what you buy. You can find deals but you have to know what you’re looking for and if parts are available. I don’t do it to turn a profit but purely try to break even or do it for fun
Funny back in the day with cars it was always points and coils. Still the same
Well,son. This here is just No Mechanic !!
I know for sure you're going to get it running... You're one of the Best at this

So much for the guy who said no mechanic can get this bike running well there you go it's raining
1989 Plastics, 1987 Seat Cover, 1991 Frame, 1995 Motor talk about a mix and match CR. Well done on getting it going.
I knew from the get go. You would get that bike going. We'll done buddy.
The seller poured his heart and soul into this project and for the coil to be the issue doesn’t seem he possibly could have overlooked the coil as the culprit, so I’m guessing frustration took over that led to the sale. If only that little black box could be read like flight data recorder.
Awesome video. I was thinking coil, but seeing the spark was throwing me off. You thought of so many other things I would have never know to check. Very educational.
This guy has great patience. I would be cursing and throwing tools all around my garage by now lol😂
I'm working on a recently rebuilt CR80. Ran great about 10 hours customer said. Now it dies out when it gets warmed up. Smokes like crazy. The crank seal on the oil side is the problem 😊. If it burns gas I can fix it is my motto. 😊❤

Man... that sound brings me right back to my childhood.
Wow, and it was just a coil. Thank goodness looks and sounds great.
polish that tank and it's perfect! Great video, too!
The cr 500 had similar problems back in the day we found valve issues and back feed to the coil. Ps you are extremely brave try to 🦵 without boot on. We stole a coil from a Kawasaki 500 and it fixed the spark issue and had a vw machine shop due the valves. Good luck bro 😎
I just wheeled and dealed a few weeks ago for a 1982 XT200 and found the CDI was bad. would only work when I tapped on it. Took it apart and the board was actually cracked in half due to the potting material shrinking. Anyway, got a used good one installed and all is well. Fun to solve the probs!
Nice job fixing the bike
We all where I'm from had Boyesen Rad Valves and Roost Boost back in the 90's.
This dude has always gotten everything to run he's amazing the only thing I could say as I small engine repair as well I always start with the simple I thought as soon as it started and died coil u can get apart but as the stator fires up it can short the coil or when the coil gets hot it can short it but anyway great job man love your vids I watch everyone u have taught me alot
That leak down test kit to me is more important than your hammer and punch. Good on ya Joe! 👍👍👍
In anything, there is a logical answer. It helps to have a parts bike to scavenge components. Great job and video Joe, very entertaining and educational.. win win.
60 year old lifetime dirtbiker here, my first guess was coil (heat cycle related / starts then dies), trigger or demagnetized flywheel. 2 strokes will almost always start with enough compression and a splash of gas. If not start chasing electrical. Spun flywheels making it out of time is a fun one too. Good work. Oh, and I had a 1988 CR250R, great bikes. Wait, (regarding the other bike) didn't you just swap all the ignition components? So those are all good. Right?
Great job man, seriously. I’ve got a 2 stroke scooter that does exactly the same thing and now I’m considering the coil. Thank you!
Good Job! Lots of learning/teaching moments. Great diagnosis and patience identifying the problem
Great job Joe, when I worked at the car dealer, we could swap parts from other vehicles , it solved so many unsolvable problems.
Hey if you have a spot where you suspect porous alloy, like from welding, get a heat gun, carry cleaner or brake clean, heat it up and clean it, then put loctite "wick in" on it, as it cools down it will suck the loctite in.
Bet you are glad you didn't have to strip down another engine. Love your work Joe
Sherlock Joe strikes again well done mate
I had the same thing happen to me and a friend said, "It's the coil, I had the same thing happen to me". From the get go my head was shouting "IT'S THE COIL!"
Dude has the patience of job.....damn good mechanic...for sure.
I’m convinced this man can fix anything
I know the guys that sell this guy their bikes that they can’t fix always punch air after they see his videos and find out that it’s something easy.
Man I could watch these for days. Good job brother.
I really appreciate how you tell us how much you pay for your projects. Good Job!
