its your choice but get rid of that primer and hook your choke up ..they always leak and if they can leak they can suck air wich is not good...i trick i learned running these carbs was take it around the house a few times and then turn it off and wait for a few mins ,, the heat will come out of the engine and warm up the carbs up...they say these carbs get crystals in the bowls and that will fix that ..that looks like an aaen pipe ..they sound pretty cool ...these are great sleds if you don't try to get 90 hp out of them ..they last forever stock ..some people when they put pipes on them forget to richen up the smaller jet ..the main jet is 2 sizes up from 143.8 ..i do like the 200 hp new sleds but no one is having more fun then these little sleds and you don't have to mortgage the house to afford them...
Great content!! too bad the paranoia of the mechanics that forget to put the tach cable on when its serviced,and blame a bad oil pump.I have 8 yamahas and srv 540 ss 440 3 xlv 540'x and a phaser 2 95 121 track.all pumps are still working perfectly.i do add a fraction of lube,because it doesnt hurt and they are old machines.and none of them primers.no one seems to do proper maintenance anymore.blame something else.I get that alot here.Yamaha are bullet proof,especially the 485's and 540's.Love your content and keeping an old yamaha going,superrior to the other brands.IMO Keep doing more yamaha's you will see they are superior in vintage.
Had a 88 phazer deluxe as a kid. Was a blast for the day. Was technically my dad’s as I also ha an old 77’ range whip. Would love to add a Phazer to my collection someday.
Phazers are one of the best vintage sleds out there. Got one myself. As a precautionary measure I recommend you to replace or refurbish your fuel pump. A leaking fuel pump can cause the crank to seize.
thats great it starts!!!,it took a few turns to get her to beak off.clean up the solenoid contacts,and as well the starting motor itself gets gummed up and greasy.the bendix shaft could probably use a little tlc.the 2 long screws that hold the strter case together get corroded,a little dielectric grease works great to keep moisture from getting in through the screw heads.Great job diagnosing lights. put stainless 1/2-12 x 3 with nylon lock nuts and washers works awesome.easy to take off the seat when you clean the carbs.becareful with the erasure plug config in the carbs.
Ok You now have a Yamaha sled. Great . Here's a couple of things that you need to look out for! On the ski assembly. The front shock Pogo units are expensive too find so take care of them. The outer covers are over 100.00 EACH !! NO IM NOT KIDDING! The scissor pivots on the bottom of the pogos are prone too cracking or splitting along the bushings.AND THOSE ARE HARD TOO FIND AS COMPLETE ASSEMBLY'S. I know I have a 94 vmax 600 that needed everything I just said. Now I have a blast on my vmax
Try to see if you can restore the original plastic covers around the light, and handlebar, with the spedometer. This steering mod looks really homemade and crappy imo. I have one of these sleds, and I am planning to use the original steering stem, cutting it, and inserting a plug to make it longer. Doing this will preserve the original estetic, and functionality. I might need to get longer wires for the brakes, but that should be doable...
Not a bad choice. Years ago I had a 99 and 00 Phazer 500s, great sleds with a better suspension than that one. I was out of sledding for about 5-10 years and recently went back to Arctic Cat. I now only run early / mid 90s Artic Cat Jags and Pumas w/ 340 and 440 fan cooled engines. They're so cheap and simple to repair! I buy Junkers of those models for $100 when they come up on marketplace for spare parts. I have 6 engines, multiple clutches and boxes of other misc parts. I only buy Hyfax and carbides new. Even the parts sleds I buy typically have 2 drive belts. I think I have about a dozen spare belts from those parts sleds. Nothing like a good running old sled, especially when everyone on the trail is giving you a thumbs up from their $15K machines.
@@anthonyg6221 maintenence goes a long way! have over 10,000 miles on one of my 98 vmax 700's and it just got to 100 psi accross all 3 cylinders. I am not easy on them either haha
92 Yamaha Phazer 2 ST! Shes got an Aaen Quiet Can pipe on it! Give me a shout if you need parts or want to just talk sleds. I'm a few hours north of you up here in Maine!
Best machine you will ever own !! Don't know why so many morons disconnect the oil injection....it works fine on all the Yamaha's I have ever owned which is LOTS !!!
I’d definitely still send your clutches out to a professional like thunder product clutching here in Michigan and a fresh brand new belt 🤘🏼💪🏼 also put new bearing in the top and bottom drive shafts when you switch the track out 💪🏼
Phazer. Now we are talking! I am in NH as well. I have a factory service manual if you need any reference info hit me up. I also have a Phazer 2. Started as a 92 with same bodywork as yours. But frame was beyond repair so I found another frame and it became a mod phazer with an 90’s RmK 136 skid and some floorboards cut from a wrecked nytro. Very fun sled.
@@NewHampshireVintage warning ⚠️ the Phazer/Venture sleds can be addicting to tinker with. I took mine in a similar direction as what you mentioned, trail crossover. Here’s a shakedown ride of My Franken Phazer from last February. ruclips.net/video/SircTb5FkR8/видео.htmlsi=pSXTMwr4Q4nKbrLA
Nice old sled! I have a couple phazers in my fleet and it was good to see how your handle bar riser is set up, im going to do the same thing to mine. looks like you have psi pipe on yours that's a good score!
I got myself a $400 dollar 91 phazer2 that runs but needs a seat and i have a nice 2000 rmk600 136 and i am going to tear the motor and track out of the rmk and put it in the phazer
the phazer 488 fan cooled has a tendacy of having the pilot jets hanging up and the primary clutch gumming up rather quick. other than that their a little screamer.
There fairly good sleds. The biggest pains are the carbs... they are not fun to clean. The other issue is these old Yamaha sleds are famous for oil pump failures.
The oil pumps on these are bulletproof from what I have read. A common issue that can cause oil pumps to fail pumping properly though is a poorly vented oil tank.
@@NewHampshireVintage Make sure you have bigger jets installed in the carb if you run pre-mix in these. Oil in the fuel increase viscosity making it tougher for the fuel to pass through. Otherwise you might damage the engine by running it lean.
Spend the extra few bucks and just put a set of capro skis razor s with 6" carbides. Will be shocked how much tighter it turns and drops almost 13lbs off the front end. That and a ripsaw makes them do anything you want without changing anything. V force 3 reeds liven it up a little more also.
My friend keeps trying to sell his 91 st back to me but it's been sitting for 4-5 years in the shed. I'm always afraid of the what if's that come with that stuff.
I think in 2024 Yamaha last year making snowmobiles. what I think hurt Yamaha when Yamaha went all 4-stroke. Yamaha should still make 2-stroke. back in late 70's and 1980's and 1990's Yamaha had one of best snowmobiles motors out there not to sure why Yamaha stop selling 2-stroke sleds for

I loved those sleds. Be nice to it! The red and white ones were the coolest.
Phazers were so far ahead of others when they came out in 1984.

Thank you for watching!
I really like the phazer. I'm hoping I can find a free one and fully restore it to like new. Great video 🎉

That sounds and looks like an AAEN pipe! Not common around my area, they add roughly 10hp or close to.

Hopefully switching the track out soon
just stumbled accross your channel!! where abouts in NH are you from? Barnstead here
Off bug spray, paper towels and some elbow will clear up plastic headlights really well
Phazers are good little sleds, but the carbs are a bear to get out, and with all the jets they clog. other than that fun.

can conform all the steering has that much play that actually is not bad at all

That’s the plan eventually!

Those phazers are though . I've had a bunch .
They make a bushing kit to tighten up that steering
That’s what I’ve heard. I will definitely look into that
great sled 92 phazer st
Difference between the phazer 1 and the 2 was the 2 was electric start and the 1 was pull start only
Wrong, Phazer 1 Deluxe had electric start, the main difference between Phazer 1 and 2s is the Phazer 2 has much better front struts
@@rodirby5952 well the exciter was definitely that way

The black carb plugs where there that shot of the video what when I had them off for cleaning.
3M 3000 grit pad on a DA. Wet sand that windshield.
I can try to save it but a brand new one is 25 bucks… like the price of a polishing kit
@@NewHampshireVintage But you can’t polish more plastic with a Chinese windshield.
Sounds like it is running on one cylinder.
Is it me or is the pipe on that modified? Almost looks like a stock pipe that they cut the back half off of and welded on a custom section.
That’s what someone else said. I’ve never owned a phazer before so I don’t know what they sound like stock and after watching a few videos ls it’s definitely noticeable
Has an after market pipe not sure what one it is
You think so?
