The torn boot is why it locked the first time. Painted over sight glass so you couldn’t see the mixed oil. 😂
See Joe, this is another reason why I watch your channel. Even on a Sunday I can count on a new video from you. Husqvarnas have gotten a little more complicated to work on. You're a capable guy and I know you'll do what it takes to get it back in service. Thanks again for your time today.
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it!
I love Husqvarna bikes ! I have 5 of them and race all of them ! This particular bike is a cagiva with husky decals as cagiva owned the marquee at the time !! Great video Joe I love this one , means a lot to me !! Absolutely wonderful to see this 👏 thank you again for entertaining us with your videos 📹
No way...
CAGIVA?!!
What a weird little niche company they are. Had no idea they owned Husqy though. Woulda been nice to see them resurrect Cannondale's quad division too.
Thanks for watching! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!
@@jeredalmeida1880 today Husqvarna are owned by KTM, since 2013.
I remember being able to unload a bike like you do joe , now I need a step ramp lol and use it all the time , reminds me of my age ase I turned 54 today 😅 I have been racing since 1977 and still going strong, just like your videos dude !! Thank you again
I'm 59 and disabled so I have to stick to my trailer from now on, going to have to build a deck on the back of my camper at some point. lol
Happy Birthday! I watch old Joe bending, twisting, pulling and I need to take a Tylenol. Reminded of Ergonomics taught to dental students, fitting the job to the worker.
Happy birthday Mike !
That is awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Love watching you diagnose and repair. Very skilled and methodical guy. Could watch this all day! Keep it up!
Skilled?
@@koertvanengelen2395i would say so. i couldn’t take apart my 450 like this guy takes them apart. 😊
Oh good we get a see part 2. At least it runs . We get to see the clutch then and maybe more.
I enjoy this kind of in depth repair.
Thank you for watching!
Man… That was a huge split in the intake manifold. Ain't no way he was going to "jet" around that!!! at least not properly. People really need to do things the way you do… Slow and methodical and really look at some of the more obvious things that get looked over. Nice job. Just from watching your videos, I would imagine there are thousands of people out there that will always check their intake manifold when tuning up and working on their bikes. 👍
Yes big time lean condition extended speed run and burn a hole in the piston
Thanks for watching, and thank you for commenting! I appreciate it so much!
I tried that and I would never recommend that lol just fix your shit
Looks like he put the bike in a pond
The *intake manifold* is one of the first parts no longer available OEM on about every bike made. Unless one can find NOS stock part still around. They get dropped very quickly.
You are an outstanding very intelligent mechanic with excellent knowledge and diagnostic ability to make clear determination of what need be corrected to take care of all aspects of mechanical projects. Congratulations for all your abilities and I salute you every time. Many wish they could do what you do so very well. !!
Finally got a husky yes brother I have the wr 300 09 model it's amazing that pipe is in great condition get a pipe guard for it to protect it that is a very low hr machine there's no boot wear on the side of the cases
To save gaskets on things like reed cages i find that breaking them loose by tapping the cage sideways usually prevents the gasket from tearing. Also gasoline cleans foam filters very quickly and dries fast.
Gas also breaks down air filter foam and glue over time.
@@tonym5680 yeah but not from a quick clean. It takes a while.
Honestly a lot of the issues are fairly cheap fixes when a person has your motivation which is crazy...so honestly this was a good deal.
When you are pouring oil from the bottle, keep the 45 degree shoulder on the bottle down. Your oil will flow better.
FYI when you come across contaminated coolant and oil use just water for test runs and used filtered used oil instead of wasting good coolant and oil. Pressure test radiator to test for water pump o-ring failures and radiator leaks.
always a great story on your motor bikes that you buy👍it's amazing how bloody cold it is in that part of the world you wouldn't need a fridge to keep your beer cold good luck mate 💤💤💤
We are hoping for some warmer weather this week! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
@@2vintage It's OK mate I don't need any prizes thanks for the offer restoration of anything is fantastic and it's all about learning and gaining knowledge and understanding how things operate learning is never -ending
I wish I could get these finds here!!
Personally, I don't like paying over $1000 for anything that doesn't run
@@martinbarrscrf4502 if I can guarantee that's all it needs. Sure.
Adding oil to cylinder makes it basically hydro lock that’s why it boosted the compression so much run it ride it check it again could have just been low cause it’s been sitting
I hope it is just a water pump seal...
The alternatives are pretty depressing 😢
Good luck sourcing Husqvarna parts...😮
Another bike saved and brought back to life 😎👊❤️🇬🇧
Thats why 2 strokes rule. Way easier to work on. Plus I'm old school, thats all we had that was fast. Unless you wanted a xr or xl Honda slug. Bring em back i say.
you need to make a sandblasting cabinet and you need a parts washer and to get more ventilation to protect vinnie - the husky was a great pickup - train vinnie with tiny treats and he will get much more obedient - more than likely
Haha we have tried just about everything with Vinnie! He is extremely strong willed, but still a good buddy! Thanks for the suggestion!
I used to work on boats as well as 2smokes, and on manifold cracks I used an underwater sealant like 3M 5200 or Sikaflex after seeing it still act like rubber 20y under sea water and impossible to chisel out.
Even around exhaust header temps this thing lasted long.
Literally, THE hardest working guy on YT!👍👍👍
That truly means so much to me! Thank you for watching! I appreciate it!
Yea Joe is a beast very smart guy I'm learning so much
Hey man, just wanted to say I watch your channel everyday.
I probably watched all your videos and your a great mechanic.
I’ve seen your skills improve from your earlier videos to the more recent ones and I have learned a lot from you so thanks and keep em’ coming bro!
Top tip of the day for grips use hairspray works as a lubricant when wet and drys fast when dry works as a glue. Spray plenty on the bar works like a treat every time. Mega vids by the way love the content
The manifold being split would be one of the causes for the rings being bad. Imagine how much dirt got sucked in.
I’d bet the top needs to be re done, coolant system flushed, it’s caked with whatever was in the coolant, jetting sounds like a weird combination, the plug wire is unreliable. All the hoses hard, auto parts store stuff with screw clamps too large. She’s a rehab special, looks like a nice project though provided parts are still around.
Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
Yep. I really dig your videos. I had Wrx 430 was an absolute beast! Made in Sweden. The rims were made in Norway. I loved that bike but a lot of parts were hard to source and the manifold was a true unicorn that I did finally find. The power band came in at high RPMs and lord have mercy...
Nice video! Do yourself a favor and get a cylinder leakdown tester, it is a more accurate way of measuring wear on the rings and cylinder than just a compression test. They aren't that expensive either.
Love how Vinnie runs off down there as soon as you pull away. He loves his dirt biking.
I would have used automotive silicon sealer on that boot. Epoxy hardens and cracks again. Open up the crack, squirt in silicon, wipe off excess, and warm up with a hair-dryer to fast-cure the silicon.
Oh man...good luck getting parts for that thing...but love uour ability to find such deals..around me everyone thinks they have something worth way more than they are. ..that's why I got out of flipping bikes..but in your case I am sure the RUclips revenue helps buy the projects.😁👍
I was thinking the same thing, rare bikes - like rare cars - okay where are you going to get parts
Covid ruined the market
Epic video. U had her up and running in no time man awesome. Nothing like a little 2 stroke action keep the videos coming. 😮
Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it!
Vinnie Bear is so cute. I just love that dog. He just makes me smile when he's on camera even though I'm here for the machines 😂🙏😁
He is a good dog with a great personality! We love him a lot!
I've been looking forward to seeing you do one of these cause I'm about to have to do it to mine
Thanks for watching! I hope that the video helps!
Your knowledge of motorcycle works is astounding
That means a lot! Thank you!
If you turn the oil bottle around it flows better.
Another score for you…I always wanted a husky,I saw a lot of them in baskets…that kept me off them..nice to c you wher ing a helmet..you have a lot of followers now,that sets a fine example…
ive seen that color- in outboard motor gearcases😀😀
Great vid as always! Hopefully it’s just that water pump seal leaking! Glad to see it runs so well with such a pond in the bottom end tho! Thing rippsss, Great Job!!
Thank you for watching! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!
Hello ther iam Robin from Sweden i love your videos. An iam a motocross driver. And this Husqvarna it`s a Swedish bike Swedish brand :D
You didn't tighten the compression tester . Probably Leaked compression from not clinching it up.
Amazing dirt bike, I can't believe it started that easy!!!.... super cool man. Love what you do man.
Thanks man! I appreciate that so much!
shoe goo!!!!!! works like a charm for fixing those boots!!!
400 euro for a top end is mad i found a WOSSNER one for 80 in my country
What helps with these videos if you are a "new learner" and really want to learn what he is doing, is to download the specific repair manual from the Internet for the specific bike and outline what he is measuring, testing and working on and then everything will make sense. Thank you 2vintage as loyal fans we love you !
I had a WR360 from that era. My clutch felt weird when I got it, turned out the basket was a bit notched out. Light filing took care of it. My 360 was a 6 speed, I'm fairly certain.
I love watching your videos. I'm always learning something new. Nice to let play in the background while I'm working. Really appreciate no cussing.
You might want to wear safety glasses when wiring with gas lines.
I have been procrastinating on cleaning out the carb on my yamaha tw200. This is encouraging me to get it out of the shed and get started.
I had the wr125 and the inlet manifold was split on that .they are really hard to find used ones where going for over $100 +post it was a 2011 really tidy bike but never ran properly. Good content as usual 👍👍👌
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love your videos joe ive fixed so many quads and bikes because of them ive been watching for about 5 years ive seen every video you've put out i miss the ones at your parents with chuck keep up the good work anyway all the best from Newcastle upon tyne mate
Thank you for watching the videos! That means so much to me, and I appreciate it greatly!
@@2vintage your very welcome mate I'll watch for aslong as you keep putting them out people can learn alot from you
I'm new to the channel an I learned alot I just bought a 2003 125 yz an it doesn't have 2 gear so it's at shop I paid 1900 hundred Facebook
you wont beat motul filter cleaner, i highly recommend trying it, it gets everything out and once rinsed the filter is like new, best stuff on the market by a country mile, their filter oils are top notch too
Yay a 2 smoker 🎉😊
The wr model is same as cr but wide ratio transmission and spark arrestor , cr is the mx bike and the wrx is the Enduro bike which had lights but only a couple x models were brought to the usa , limited production run on the x models , all of them are great bikes but a hard resell , they don't bring value to seller 😮 but again great bikes and the Italians have a great eye for detail
It's a Swedish made bike but they are great I've owned a few of these, a wr125 2010 and also a wre250 2002, huaqvarnas and now just basically a ktm though as their owned by ktm, on my latest te300 you would remove parts and it would have a ktm stamp on it somewhere 😂
@@bikebreak4523 cagiva bought husqvarna from the Swedish firm in late 87 and produced both brands until 1990 and dropped the cagiva brand off road models but kept making husqvarna aka cagiva throughout the Lamson and chiodi Era until around 2005 when sold to BMW then the red head engine evolved and after 2013 ktm bought the franchise I have owned and raced all of the eras of huskys and even had support when the Germans owned them .I raced a factory cagiva/husky 250 4 stroke in 2002 factory sachs shock with Marzocchi shiver air forks fir a small husky dealer out of Minneapolis for them - great times and I still race cagiva/ husky bikes in vintage today
@@mikehudge78x yeah I forgot cagiva had them! Cagivas are awesome bikes too! Wernt they involved with ducati aswell at some point? No doubt you've had some great experiences riding those machines! Alot of people were and still are put off by them for some reason but I've had nothing but great times with huskys!
Come on this has to be a full restoration! One questions! This will make ur channel explode! Full restoration with full detail of wht you doing right and wrong! Don’t forget we all here with different knowledge to help! I am really good at this stuff
lol can remember the breaker bar being kx85 handle bars correct me if wrong
Filter cleaner: castrol super clean, spray down and let soak in it for bout 20 minutes, then hot water and dawn dish soap make it perfect again.
. Let dry spray filter oil on. Run.
For installing tight grips, spray the handle down with windex or other window cleaner. It lubricates then evaporates.
Thank you for the suggestion!
cheap, aqua net hairspray, starts wet then sticks like glue, never had grip slip, it is cheap at any drug store or wal mart. had 6 sisters grew up in 80s always had a huge free supply LOL the hair decade.
The only drawback to fixing an older bike is “rebuild kit if they still sell them” exactly!
If it's a big bore its a 293 cc so it's basically a wr 300 if the bore is 72 mm the manifolds are 100
Thanks for the phone notification sounds! ... "wait.. is that my phone?" heheh
you need to flush the oil buddy. it will take a min of 3 flushes coolant system to it may have oil in it
😊 thanks for the 2 stroke video means a lot
Ask Vinny about the coolant lol
Hahaha
First husky in long time
Yeah it's been a while!
Ohhh man I was buzzing when it started rite up . Carnt you open the water pump housing? Wind off the impeller ? I'm sure the few I've done was just a rubber seal behind that slots into a recess
12 minutes in, exploding nasty coolant, milky oil, and gas in the eye, followed by dropping a bolt. I’ve watched you for over a year now and never seen a series of unfortunate events like that 🤣🤣. And you still don’t give up. Time to finish the video lol. Definitely going to be another great one
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
Hey Joe...I use a USB endoscope attached to my phone or tablet for looking into those hard to reach spots. They're about $30 or so, have a light and are super handy to have around. I use it for all kinds of things where it's difficult to see into or get at. That could help you peek into those hard to get areas.
Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
I had a 2000 Husqvarna TE 610. Bought it for 2k rode it on street for 3 years. But the quest for parts was an absolute nightmare. Had to order from Uk,Greece,Austria absolute nightmare.
you have given me so much motivation to start fixing bikes again mate😊 , but i have always wondered when people sell their bikes to you & watch your Videos after and be like f*ck me it was just that needed fixing and regret the sale after 😈
Gotta admit, when you first accelerated between those t-posts I had an instant pucker moment lol
Wow, that chain and starter shaft being on the same side and so close is a disaster waiting to happen. Not even any really case protector room either.
Huskies and montessa, did massive trials bike's.....they were back in the day, the 🐕.....not soo much on the motocross side. Good lad my friend. And once again massive thanks and respect 🙏 🫡
I clean the washable air filters with simple green. Works well.
damn you always get these good deals. I'm on marketplace constantly looking for stuff but down around my area stuff doesn't pop up as much.
It can be tricky to find machines to pick up! I am always looking out for something to come up!
You do realize he lies about most his prices,.to entice the viewer to click!
@@kevinburnsdikk7454 without proof idk. I've scored plenty of great deals but you typically have to catch them within the first 30 mins. I literally just missed a go cart and atv for free that were in great shape but just sitting in a storage unit for 5 years.
The oil was all creamy and we're putting grips on, must already have it listed on market place.
That turned into a great deal! Only thing I would have done different is filled it with water, ran it like you did then drain and put antifreeze back
I've always wanted to own one of those bikes. They are wicked fast and go anywhere
Not sure if you’ve tried this or not, but I have always used dawn dish soap to clean my air filters and it seems to do a decent job. Maybe try it on the stuff you can’t seem to get and see if it does any better🤙🏻
Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
if you use a oiled filter dawn is good but I use purple power degreaser cheap put in spray bottle breaks down dirt and oil rinses of great then reoil filter used it on foam and Kand N gauze works great does not seem to affect life of filter been using for yrs. I like being able to put in spray bottle cause I use it for cleaning chain lube off frame swing arm and rims. great all purpose cleaner like 7 bucks a gallon at any parts store or walmart
Farmer brought in a 1962 ski doo twin track. Ugly thing but it does still run, wants us to rebuild top end and maybe whole motor. He uses it as a utility sled to haul hay out to his cows. Gonna be fun.
You can use the oil to paint the walls in your garage LOL
Water pump seal you need a bottom end rebuild top end gaskets pull through motor and rebuild it.
Id like to see u get a bore camera an check out the pistons an cylinder on these projects.
Bravo on the grease the filter seal That's a classic old-school beauty of a trick
Sounded like Bob Ross talking about that manifold😅 Great video.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
I was hoping it wasn't that seal but definitely worth the fix those are pretty fast bikes
The cut intake boot probably caused the motor to seize
Lol..did u not watch the vid?..it's clear as day it NEVER seized..no engine would ever start on 3rd kick like that.
Up early on a Sunday morning!
I've always used gas to clean my filters. Works great! Just make sure to gently squeeze out the excess gas and then I wash it with dish soap and hot water. People have told me that gas will dissolve the glue that holds the filter together. Has yet to happen to any filter I have ever used. Plus those filter cleaning solutions are expensive.
Thank you for the suggestion! I appreciate it!
I hear some piston slap. It'd be a good idea to see if the cylinder needs to be replated and re-ring it at the very least.
Since you have most of the connectivity hardware, maybe consider a cylinder LEAKAGE test. The results, audibly, will tell you a LOT
I’ve learned some things about my own motorcycle from your videos. Thanks! But one question…… where do you live because the weather always looks terrible. 😂
I would Definitely change the bearing when you change the water pump seals. You definitely lucked out with this bike for it to run aswell as it does after a little cleaning.😊nice bro
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!
@@2vintage did you ever change the water pump seal on this bike? if so can you direct me to the video please???
You found the fastest way to make friends with the neighbors. Move to country to hear you rev bikes all day 😂. Next year will be neighborhood meeting. I know this because Iam you . And soon to be me 😂. Good job on the work
If you need to take something apart and don’t want to rip the gaskets, try using a heat gun first.. it loosens everything up when the metal expands
Always amazed how easy you make unloading look. I just picked up my first enduro, and it was not that easy 😂. I had to baby the brake and use steps
not hard to unload!maybe its just you!!!lol
@ipfreeley maybe, but it's my first bike so I'm sure it'll get easier
@@thebrothers4311 yup,its not hard at all!!just balance.
@@yeahright302 my bike is a little tall, and I have a lifted truck. So that's working against me 🤣
I got a fully built RM125 by trading a cheap cell phone for it about 10 years ago in Pennsylvania haha i think the phone was like $55 brand new lol they just didn't want the bike and needed a phone. It was that simple. The bike still runs like a beast to this day too. Even though i dont ride as much as i used too, it's still fun to jump on every once in a while.
The funniest video ever, waiting for more
Thanks for watching! More to come!
So impressed with your ability you have with bikes!🌟💫🇺🇸👍🏻😎Hoosier Wing
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
No internet for over a week was getting withdrawal syndrome Glad to be back watching again joe few issues with the bike mate but not too bad after all you will fix it for sure vinny is some dog lol take care 👍🔧🔧🔧👌❤️
