I'm gonna want to fix this some day, better park it under a tree uncovered for a few years just to make sure it requires the most amount of fixing possible.
People can do what ever they want with there machines.
@@jerrywilcox9890 you're right, they can. The problem is these Neanderthals also misrepresent their garbage on craigslist and marketplace.
Sometimes that works out for people like me that have the tools I don't.
As long as the frame is still intact I could something with it but it might not look the same in the end haha.
@@jerrywilcox9890
Then whines when they get the repair bill😅
Famous Classic Words "It Should Be A Simple Fix" $1200 later, it may start. lol. If it is such an easy fix, why didn't he fix it in the first place. These people will say anything to sell a Turd.
Exactly
The Polaris "engineer" who so "carefully" designed this should be condemned to change the spark plug and refit the bodywork and tank 10x per day for 12 months.
Back then there were no engineers at Polaris, they were farmers.
Yeah it's a ridiculous design.
@@JoshuaJonahhaha, maybe bad farmers, the ones I know are pretty practical.
@@2vintage ruclips.net/video/qNRQmCUagrA/видео.html
100% agree, my 96 XPRESS 300 was the same, changed the plug when I bought it in '19.................pretty sure it was the OEM from the factory.
Vin was not excited😅 the only part I caught was he said" I told you not to bring no more damn poolaris home"🤣
Lol yup Polaris has always been junk!
American made garbage. Stick to Japanese for atv and snowmobiles
I like the systematic step by step way you work through the problems, and take us with you. A lot of youtube "repair channels" kind of do the "look its fixed", after waisting an hour of the viewers time telling stupid stories about their grampa or something.
IT'S CONTENT, 300 BUCKS EVEN IF HE PUT IN A GRAND, UNLIKELY, IT'S WORTH 1,300.
I am guessing he'll make more than that for the views, right?
I bought a 2009 Kawasaki prairie 3604x4 from my grandma for 700 bucks
Just needs a carburator rebuild and the clutch shimmed
If the seller says it should be a simple repair, run and see if you still have your wallet in your pocket. If it were really simple, he would have made it himself and sold it for more.
U right ✅️
Every thing with a motor on Marketplace is an “easy fix” so they say! 😂
True or needs a carb clean, if that was the case why wouldn't the seller, easy fix or clean carb and ask for more money🤷
Most of the Facebook people say I have no time to fix it and have to many projects
@@myguitaryourface5160 "I have no time to fix it and have to many projects" ------ ----MARKETPLACE TRANSLATION - Oh Crap, I found a lot more things wrong than I a willing or able to fix.
That bulb appears to be a fairly standard H4 bulb although maybe I'm missing something. Working on a polaris 500 right now with a blown head gasket!
You can also buy a 9003 bulb from any auto store (they list H4 as an alternative number).
Or they put a tarp over it and then leave it for years without taking it off or buying a new one - "yea that tarp full of holes oughta keep it protected"
Brilliant video Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏
Those Polaris machines always seem like money pits. Although your willingness to fix them is inspiring Joe. Thumbs up as always man.
Yeah, I'll usually always pass on them unless they're super cheap or some
After watching this, I understand why I love Honda! What a nightmare.
Amen
Special Guest Star 2Vinny looks excited about the project. He smells big Alpo money in a quick flip. Great project, keep up the hard work
Seller: Once you get it up and running Joe, I will buy it back for the $300😅😂😮
Ebay will do them bulbs generally normal car head light bulb uk style anyway
I had a 2003 Polaris 600 twin... Such garbage,,,,
“Ran when parked, just needs a carb clean, started last year”🤔😏
Joe, You must drain the rest of the oil also by pulling the bottom drain bolt. This oil still in the engine is bad and would trash any new oil you put in. It has about a red solo cup (16 ounces) of oil left for sure.
So you would only change it once?
No way I would even think of not changing it again when I had it running.
Reminds me of John Candy's words in the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles after two semis pulverized the rental car " A little bondo, some paint and she's like new.."😅
He bought another Polaris. The man is a glutton for punishment.
Titaniumman Garage does a lot of Polaris repairs. He has some good bypasses & tricks to get around basket case quads. You can save yourself a ton of money.
"cv axel is a little iffy." lol, hahaha, that thing looks destroyed, lol 😂
Does the Land Rover Discovery ever move or is it like most Discos, a pile of rubbish.
I'm only here for Vinnie !!! Kiding but always glad when i see him !! That ball of energy!! Keep it up ! Hard fan here !
I really admire your electrical skills, something that I've always struggled with in the past.
Just takes practice and a few youtube videos, it's not bad.
" I don't think the stater looks that bad?" Must be nice to have X-ray vision
Compared to my 85 trx125 yours looks brand new mine looks very bad looks like its broke and done but r7ns perfect been using it for towing a hige trailer full of sawdust for over 20 years broken cases loud reverse clicking sounds faded broken plastics rust everywhere leaks oil and air and many other problems but still running strong 💪 😮
I love the Polaris sportsman 400
The previous owner is clueless. A simple fix, huh?
These carburetors (usually Mikuni) on Polaris are prone to having needle and seat issues with not working.
Why do people cut wiring like that? Just makes it a pain.
That sounds about as fun as the one that said the bike needed "a" piston ring.
This kind of bike would be listed for $1,000+ in Louisiana here. People crazy with prices on junkers. Wish we had some sensible people around here. Had to give up working on bikes & outboards because you can’t find em cheap enough to fix & resell for a profit
You're turning into a master small engine mechanic and it amazes me on allthe stuff you learn in the years! Ive been doing stuff like this for years and once i get to a engine not running right even when it's got compression/spark/fuel and timing i just get stumped to the point i throw stuff away and never learned passed that part. You're knowledge and what you do is amazing and i can't believe we get to watch such a great RUclipsr with this talent and teaching us all its just a blessing to watch your videos I mean it your a great person and love everything that you bring here on RUclips 💪💪 keep it up bro!
It's pretty easy, just takes a lil learning/thinking
What’s your address?? I watch all your videos but I swear before Christmas himself I’m going to buy and send you an actual hammer and not a claw hammer.
Great buy? Quick flip? Does Vinny approve? Another great video, keep up the hard work
Currently have a couple of Arctic cats, but been looking at picking up one of these sportsman’s to fix up, I like the way they look
Headlight bulbs are H4 Halogen which are very common in car headlights in the UK and are available in most petrol stations and car spares retailers, that CV joint will be full of grit so will need a good clean or will ware out very quickly. Not a bad machine for the price and should not cost too much to get in good running order.
First with a great content 😂
😊😊 This is more or less what I could afford. My only question is do I need one. My Z turn lawnmower is probably as close as I’ll ever come to a quad. Ha. 😊😊😊 Still enjoying following from my armchair. 😊
an i buy your dog ,only problem is ii am in scotland uk ,only joking, but it is a cute wee dog
This headlight bulb is called "H4". Here in Europe is the most common socket (plug type) in headlights for cars, bikes, ATVs... It has 3 leads because it is normal light and high beam in one bulb. If you look closely it has two wires in it.
The concrete thing under the front springs are notorious for breaking making the wheel jiggle a bit on older Polaris scramblers, sportsman’s and trailblazers or anything with that type of shock and there not easy to get so look out for thay
I could tell ya some crazy stories bout repairing those. Been through hell with em, especially the transmissions.
In all fairness 2 Vin has gotten so good he makes anything seem like an easy fix best chanel out there
I am new here - who is Vin?
@@L46C3the RUclipsr
Check out green wire where it plugs into the 3 wires when you were testing it looked like it was wiggling around with the tester 27:22 but it’s hard to tell on my end . Definitely will be a good machine with little work. I think it will fire right up after the new stater, and carb rebuild great work Joe and Vinny
I miss Wisconsin..
You got this.
That high pitch squeak in the background of your videos is driving me nuts!
Thanks for your videos !
It is ruining nice videos, JBL headphones.
I know you were regretting buying it, but as a fan, it's the basket case projects you problem solve that I find the most interesting, because I feel like it teaches me more. Really respect the way you chase down a problem, without ever getting on tilt! Thank you!
And really good camera work too!
@2:06
He's asking you wtf you were thinking this time.😂
Just binge watched all of your utv and atv videos I could find all of them a great entertainment source 🎉
That's a standard H4 halogen globe for a car headlight
Good trouble shooting on that stator! Did it fry because the original owner shorted out the electrical with the wire reversal or a bad battery jump or maybe just water in the case from submarine duty? You got a lot of courage taking this on but who knows till you get more into it.😳
Whatever happened to the ranger the gray one?
Deoxit is good for electrical connections.
Deoxit D5, it's the go to for anyone that works on electronics!
I swear you are the go to reference channel for not ever buying a polaris, can am, knock off Chinese anything.....couldnt be happier with my hondas and suzukis and yamahas
Tearing apart a Polaris is like tearing apart the Terminator with a butter knife.
Vinnie is stoked! 🐶🐶🐶
Obsessed with lights😂
Unless i want to be in it after every ride tearing it apart, i stay far away from polaris machines. Maybe some day theyll design better machines or at least make them to hold up
They do not thrive on neglect...lol
The beeping in all your videos is beyond annoying, Please, fix your camera, or us a filter to remove the high pitch beeping.
@@lesoram6236
Try wearing headphones. If you still can't hear it, you may have hearing damage that makes you unable to hear the high frequency beeps, or, you are too old, as we all loose the ability to hear the higher frequency's with age. I'm using high end hi-fi speakers/amp, that reproduce the beeping. I checked with a spectrum analyzer, it's at 11200 hz approx, two short beeps then a pause before it beeps twice again. It's more pronounced in some parts of the vids.
@@lesoram6236 I hear it fine on my speakers, I do not need headphones. I might be off by a significant number :P Aka 11200 hz, not 112 khz :P ruclips.net/video/qNf9nzvnd1k/видео.htmlsi=WlFyOU49AAX-HkQM&t=133
I target sportsman’s specifically to repair and flip. The engine is really good considering, the electronics however leave a lot to be desired. But I can pick these up all day long for under 500$, put a few hundred in parts into it and sell a good running machine for 15-1800$. Tires are often the reason people quit riding them here, but I don’t replace them with high dollar tires, nothing but sun f or kenda and it still has room for profit. Also as much as I enjoy riding the 500 sportsman I prefer my Yamaha big bear 400 though I do have a Polaris ranger . Good money to be made flipping sportsman’s, better than Honda’s as I usually get them with roasted rear differentials.
I have found when someone says "it should be a simple fix" normally means you have to strip it completely apart and remove the mess, reassemble just to see what shape the engine is in (no need to take the engine apart if you don't need too) and hope it then runs
Yeah.....a simple fix of about 700 dollars in parts.The guy should have paid you to trake this off his hands.!!!
On your Bayou 220 video, at 12:41. So i had my neutral light come on when i jumped the plug like you did here but still wouldnt start. Basically got a new starter solenoid but it came with the terminals backwards from oem so i fixed that, put in a new 20amp fuse, but still no neutral light. I havw continuity at that plug and if i push push the electric start button, it shows continuity there as well, but no neutral light. Am i missing another fuse, or is it my neutral safety swich, reverse switch, or my ignition switch is bad? Please someone, help! 💀
I’m having trouble with a bike it’s a 2010 yz450f it starts on the 3rd kick when cold , 1st kick when it’s warm , it recently started stalling on me but starts right up after runs good I did notice some black smoke at rev limiter where should I start ?
That's a steal. I be looking on fb market place, I can't find anything in that $300, range or even look that good. And that's not gonna need much. To get going. I mean, 4 me, that's a deal and a keeper, for flipping, maybe u sell foe $1800. And still come out even, gotta figure the labor time
Circuit breaker 😊
How's the wedding band? Is the wifey mad? And I believe your garage could benefit from a 3pc pry bar set. And you need a large proper flat head for the case access covers. Vs you tapping it with a smaller flat head in the slot.... LOL
Polaris has their own specific parts, such as lights and batteries. They are a pain. You have to get everything from Polaris.
I had the same problem with gas in the oil when I was fixing one of my Polaris Sportsman. It sucks the gas right past the rings in to the bottom end.
I think the explorers were the absolute worst to fix. Still do it all the time in my shop.😊
And on the next episode of "Boat Anchor Resurrection" LOL, great buy on this turd, polish er up =)
That light bulb is a 9003 or and H4 found in every auto parts. Love your content keep it up.
Man! You are a glutton for punishment buying a Polaris. Maybe it's me but I see only problems with this brand. Gonna need lots of work.
On old cars and your atv it is the brushes that connect the starter. So thorough cleaning of the brushes and rotor where the brushes spin then you don't have to buy a new starter as this one is perfectly good.
H4 or 9003 headlight, they'll both work and available at any local parts store.
That atv really needs help. You will succeed. I'm sure of that. But how much will it take
Vinny is parking in excitement he saying right now there is somebody with an 04 trailblazer was starting issues the customer took it to the shop still doesn't work and not buttoned up
Polaris and Dodge/Chrysler have same quality. Both are dollar store quality
Vinnie always makes me smile 😀😀😀
Have to thank you for buying this one I almost bought it. Good luck she needs work.
Get yourself one of those 120 V winches from Harbor freight and mounted to the floor at the furthest wall of your shop so that you can just winch stuff off the truck into the shop
The headlight bulb is the same one that's in my 95 honda civic, got my bulbs at Walmart
Wish I lived closer to ya! Would like to have a beater like this for a snowplow rig. 👍👍
Use it for parts, maybe.
I took a chance one time old turd like that. I ended up scraping in it out and keeping all the nuts and bolts all the good stuff. It really help me out down the road you know miscellaneous bowl in the not have to run in the hardware shop think about it
Front tires and good plastics may May MAY be worth the money?
300 dollars in parts aint worth you say but how many thousands did you drop on that pos utv recently???
Good job 😅
Its had its life. Only worth repairing since u get RUclips views. Or if u had a load of free parts for it.
If anyo ne can get this up and running, it will be you and your skills. You are great.
Can get the bulbs from your local polaris dealer. Or maybe online
I think your dog says it’s gonna be a simple fix to. Lol.
Dude I keep getting unsubbed from your channel anyway subbed agian
My Honda fourtrax is a 87 and in way better shape!!!
Nice!
What does Joe do with all he buys. Does he keep everything or does he put some items up for sale
You appear to live a good and honest life, so why the Polaris penance?
