The young man is gaining a priceless education at the hands of a master. Kudos Brent for taking him under your wing!
I was going to say the same thing. I would love to be his neighbor and I'm 62. I would follow him around like he walked on water. (Randy Travis song) lol
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.
Awesome video, that young man will never forget the hands on help, hope to see more of him.
Ok something different !Nice of you to show this young fellow how too weld he will remember this for the rest of his life ! thanks for sharing.
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.
Man that little guy is very lucky to have such a great teacher/ shop instructor as you ! Great project.... I loved the heat treated plastic rehab very cool !!! Keep up the great work
This is so cool. If only someone kind like you had helped me like this when I was younger. Well done you.
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.
You’re a real class act. What a great experience the young lad is getting. Great to see. Thanks for sharing.
I'll bet that young man is so excited to learn this stuff, he likely has been bragging none stop to his friends, I know I would have! Great stuff!
Great show Brent. Teaching the next generation some of the tricks of the trade, Really cool. 👍
You could shoot Mustie1 a message and see if he's got any ideas on what's possibly going wrong with the engine. Interesting and entertaining video, as always.
Thanks Brent for taking a young man to keep off the phone and hands out of pockets. He's gonna appreciate you when he gets older for sure. Your just an all around great guy for sure
Looks like you've got a good helper..and guiding him in a a good direction, I like that..
I like the fact you aren’t afraid to tackle any type of problem with any type of vehicle.
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.
Lovin the music!!!
Great that you are passing along knowledge to the next generation. Everything I know and learned was from older guys. I’m in my 60’s and still learning. God bless you sir.
Good helper!, finding help these day is rare. Nicely done, he will remember this.
Good on ya for educating that young guy.
Those are skill he will use the rest of his life. Great job Brent!
My Southwestern US Thought Pattern: Plow? Rink? Canada? Hockey? Oh yeah! Lol!
check the wires and connections in your spark system. Miss could be wire shorting out or loose, commutator is internal and voltage regulator is external.
They make a tea steeper hinged holder that works great for small parts
It's always nice to have a shop helper . It reminds me of me at that age riding around the neighborhood looking for someone working out in their shop just hanging out watching them
Coming soon! Halfass Kustoms Jr.
Thank you for showing the young lad.
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.
Great job you teaching and mentoring the young man we need more people teaching the trades Great job
Full size battery should make a good counterweight for wheelies!! Haha. Great to see new generations interested in fixin’ and fabbin’ stuff. Cheers!!
Fantastic! I really enjoyed you involving/teaching a young person!
I see a new RUclips Channel, (Young Gun Customs). How awesome you are teaching the younger generation how to use their hands to create rather then playing video games. 👍👍👍
So Cool Passing it on, and he's not on the dumb phone, Neat!.....
I see my favorite build in the back ground.
I do enjoy the 2nd channel stuff... maybe borrow/ steal sieve from the wife's kitchen for the tiny carb pieces in the sonic cleaner.. It is so awesome that you are mentoring that young fella...
Well done Brent, Rider is going to be a car guy with all your influence.
I use a metal household strainer to put the little stuff in. One that will let them sit in the mix of course. I am sure you have figured this out by now. haha. I have had my Ultrasonic cleaner for about 14 years. Cleaned many a carburetor in its day.
That quad has a mind of its own, sounds fine when its revvin. Your helper works well with minimum supervision, good to have near when extra hands are needed, Waiting for your next video, Stu in Ontario....
That’s pretty cool.
I’m 65 & psyching up for an LS swap,not to mention the metal repairs I have employed.
That kid is not the only one learning from HA customs.
Thanks to you.
Doug from Steveston BC
Truth be known, I'm sure Brent enjoyed it as much as the young man did 👍👍👍👍👍👍 reminded him when he was teaching his own children.
You are a ginius. You gave a young man a chance to learn the skillis he may carry on throug life as my father taught me. You are what we people are all all about.. Keep it up, we need you.
That young guy will remember this time learning beneficial skill. Maybe he could help you on some of your projects builds.
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.
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.
Rider is a good team when you need him, and I'll catch ya on the next one
Definitely need to have him in some more videos
*- Brent, even at high speed replay, I can see you are a good teacher, a natural.*
Just noted its nearly 2 years since you posted the first General build vidya .....don't time fly ? Still here - still enjoying your channel :)
Superb video! Saw a lot of promising pointers in the comments below. Hopefully one of those leads will pan out for you. Kid did a heckuva job. Hope he's a semi-regular so you can get the extra set of hands you need sometimes to get things done. The experience the young Sparky will acquire is priceless. Cheers!!!
Minty !
Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out .
Later ...
Nice on getting the young lad involved. Good on ja Brent. Loved watching the lad do stuff on the quad. And u mentoring him. Priceless.
This is something this young guy will remember for the rest of his life, the times he spent with the neighbor Brent fixing stuff in the shop, and when he gets older he will say " the good ole times." You're a good man Brent.
That kid will learn a lot from someone with your knowledge! A lucky youngster for sure! 👌
I have used a. Extra large sleeping bag case waterproof on my atv great vid same atv same problem
The kid is a good student, willing to dig right in. Works well with his hands.
Someone told me they went to a fight and a hockey game broke out.
That's awesome you teaching someone young how to to do things. Not enough of that going on now a days.
Keep the young feller at it, he's a natural!
The Helper is great, he knows what he is doing. Surely not afraid to get his hand on the tools..! You need to get him in more videos..Really enjoyed you guys working together.. The shop helper love it..!
Very kind of you to take the time to teach and inspire this young man, as usual, I'm impressed. Your friend from Massachusetts USA 🇺🇸.
BTW: That is a great idea, to use the torch to brighten up the plastic. I have a fan type attachment, that fits on the nozzle of the torch, and I am going to give your technique a try on my plastic lawn garden trailer.
It’s awesome that you are taking this young man under your wing he will talk about you teaching him for the rest of his life!
It's just something you can try to see if it stops it from freezing up on yours. Rv antifreeze though like for dumping into the holding tank for toilet.& Other waste water it collects.
A loose tea “egg” works great for small loose parts, also paint cups with the parts cleaner in it works great you just need a weight tho hold down the cup.
Yeah, Brent, that young feller is gonna be a future "Gear Head", with your instruction, he's almost there already! Pablo was giving you the "Dirty Doggie" Look for not giving him a ride on the Quad!
Could be a bent rod? Awesome experience for the young lad, he will remember this for the rest of his life.
Excellent divertissement! Always fun to watch yours videos. And good job kiddo!
i think the intake boot has possibly got a crack in it. That kid is awesome 😎👍
Help the young fellow learn how to half-ass things on his first vehicle you have true friend for life
Pine Sol cleaner works good in those for removing off the carbon.& Corrosion to. It may discolor the metal though to. If it's not mixed with one gallon of water to every two bottles.,or one gallon jug of pines sol cleaner I mix it with carburetor cleaner the gumout kind with two drops of dish soap mixed up really good to.
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.
It's good to see you encouraging the youngsters. So few of them seem to have any interest in this sort of thing these days. We have a local model engineering club going to the wall because it seems only the older guys are interested, and no new blood is coming through.
I would bet that the issue is still the carb. In the past I stripped and cleaned and serviced a Weber carb and I just could not get it to play ball. Once I replaced it the engine ran like a Swiss watch. I hate being beaten but I just could not see what was wrong. I would try and get another carb to try.
That kid did a good job for you. But there’s nothing you can’t do Brent. Thanks for Sharing!
That was nice of you to let the neighborhood kid help you. When I was a young pup I use to like to tag along with the grown ups and help them. Learned a lot from them I use in my life now. Your a good man Brent passing your knowledge to the next generation.
Brent , I bought a piece of stainless steel screen (like window screen) and lined my basket and wired it in . Works Great ! Thanks for the videos !
I wish I was that kid the joy to work with you and I'm 62
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
Doesn't matter how long it took, you still got it running.
I think it's awesome that you are sharing your ability with your little friend, and hope you both are enjoying each others company. Trayl from Utube can tell you everything you need to know about your machine. I probably have the name spelled wrong. He probably has a utube video on this machine.
Taryl Fixes All - great channel for small engine tips!
Great job mentoring this young man Brent. We need a million more like you and millions more like this young one taking interest.
Try putting the idle up, nice ride, all the best to you and your loved ones
Try and find a loss leaf tea basket for your small carb parts .
That young man will never forget the work experience and time that you are spending with him.
For the engine, try running it off a separate bottle and line directly to the carb. That's one thing. And another, play with the carb's settings, clip, needle, whole lot to see if something changes (other than the obvious things).
you can use one of those magnetic bowls that people put their car parts in when working on a vehicle
Awesome to see you teaching that boy some useful skills that he'll be able to use the rest of his life. Not enough of the next generation is learning this stuff. Great job!
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.
When I was very young we lived in Austria and our house was in the same grounds as a BMW dealer ship, weeknights and weekends I used to help the security guard to repair cars and it’s were I gained my knowledge, did a lot of work on haflingers which is were they were made in Gratz Austria by styr puch . Gezzz those were the days.
I love how you matched the upholstery. Nothing like good duck tape work
Hey Brent. Very nice of you to show the youngster a thing or two. He looks very interested! He will always remember you showing him some things. Very nice video!
so nice to see kids working and learning . hats off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really enjoy the second Half Ass Customs channel!! Nice job Brent!
They're all good man. Thank you!🍺🎃🐾
Check the points if yours has points inside of it to. To they set from 16 to 20 thousands of A inch Gap. I recommend cleaning them off really good to if their dirty with file.,or sand paper.,or emery clothe to. Blow out the dirt.
Looks like a great time. Teach, play, clean. Lots of learning went on.
That is exactly how you "restore" things.
Very nice of the neighbor kid to help the old man fix his quad 😅😅😅😅
Something tells me Brent when you sleep at night your dreams include turning wrenches!😆
Your an AWESOME guy. Hope to see the young'n on more episodes. Thank you.
Kool piece of equipment particularly the fire paint, nice rehab. Decent little big helper. Hoping for the best & awaiting, the next one...! Thanks again.
