    Good of you to give the kid some hands on time. There are some out there that want that opportunity but don't have the option. Always rewarding to see them have that opportunity. Good of you to provide that.

    As so many have already said, it's good that you are sharing your knowledge with this young man. He will know how to fix/make his own stuff and not just toss it out and buy a new one.

    Did you check the fuel screw adjustment on the front bottom part of the carb. there is a aluminum plug hiding it. you can adjust it to get your fuel mixture correct 1 1/2 to 2 turns out.

    @johnhicks735 2 года назад +4

    It's the idle set screw needs turned up.,or the fuel air mixture screw needs backed out to the left smidge to let idle.&that miss is from valve sticking. Just add in some stp with bars stop leak that has zinc additives.,or just get some pure zinc to add into the crankcase motor oil.

    Thumbs up to you Brent for being a mentor. Growing up on a Dairy Farm in Wisconsin my father didn't know how to fix machinery he'd tell me to watch him take it apart so I could put it back together cause he couldn't remember. I've taught my own children how to work on their vehicles with confidence.

    My Big Bear was doing the same. I rebuilt the carb, Still the same. The air idle screw that is on the bottom of carb is hard to get to without the proper tool. I just kept removing the carb enough and adjusting the Air screw to keep it running and not dieing and finally got it to idle.

    When I was that young there was a Ford mechanic and stock car racer in the neighborhood who let me change plugs, pull blown trannies, cut roofs off rollovers and helped me tune my Go Cart. Because of him I worked my way through high school and college as a small engine mechanic. Brent you are that guy to this young fellow, good on you! Great video!

    I concur with the previous comments concerning Ryder's fortunate opportunity to have someone with your skill sets take' the time to show and teach him some basic shop skills. Everyone his age should have this benefit as it will always come in handy when thinking thru problems and how to tackle them. Thanks

    The old Bernz-O-Matic kits had a heat diffuser to strip oil based paints off wood. Maybe that would help to give you a nice even look when you’re redoing the plastic.

    @lorinbirch6066 2 года назад

    I have to add on to the appreciation of your mentorship of the young man. Also, there are precious few youngsters these days that want to learn from their elders. Although not successful in the end result, showing Ryder the craft is a WIN, WIN, WIN.

    I had same problem of poor idle on my Honda FourTrax. Take a small wood block and place against carb body. Gently tap with a hammer to loosen carb float. Spray carb cleaner down the air box toward the carb jet area. Install new $17.00 fuel pump, install new fuel filter and ensure fuel hoses are free of dirt, etc. Idle should return to normal RPM without engine cutting off due to fuel starvation.

  • @EdOfTheNorth
    @EdOfTheNorth 2 года назад +2

    I know that you cleaned the carb but the problem is still in the idle circuit of the carb. Did you pull any welch plugs when you cleaned? You should have. There is a tiny hole that vents the float bowl on idle that I'd guess is plugged. It is a very tiny channel no bigger than the head of a pin and it travels up through the body of the carb quite a ways but it is plugged and is usually only cleared with a fine wire. Ya fire it up and it idles for a few seconds and quits because it needs additional venting to continue the flow of fuel on idle. As soon as you rev it up it runs okay because then it vents via the jets.
