I continue to be impressed that you’re now washing the project before you start working on it.

I give you A lot of Credit Joe. There are many people who flip Quads that would have just retorqued the head bolts and put stop leak into the radiator and sell it. You on the Other hand do the right thing and diagnose to the root and repair it..

It is good to see your mechanics skills evolution throughout the years. At the beginning you used to do a lot of wrong practices but you listened to the critics and improved in it. I really like your videos brother, keep doing the good work!

Great job.

When the coolant gets in the cylinder, sometimes you'll get a "cylinder wash" type of effect, where it washes the oil off the piston, and the compression will go down.... You add some oil, re-run your compression check, compression is back up where it

I think that's what you are seeing there, you're getting cylinder wash....

Also, you run it successfully at your land.... Drive it back home... Sitting on the trailer for 15-20 minutes, it has a hot radiator that is under some pressure, so the coolant will seep into the cylinder while the ATV is on the trailer going home.... That first start up in your driveway, huge blast of white smoke, because coolant had time to accumulate in that

Feels like a classic head gasket to me....

I only discovered your channel a few weeks ago but i have now successfully fixed my 1979 Suzuki a100p using skills learnt watching you. Thank you very much.

The moment Joe popped the radiator cap open at 5:40, I zoomed in real hard and saw the "glitter" I yelled "IT HAS STOP LEAK IN IT!" "BLOWN HEEEEAD!" 😅

my ex wife bought one of these brand new back in 2002.. Surprisingly really quick back in the day. I'll bet the head just needs to be resurfaced when you rip apart. Either way still worth the tear down.. Super fun quad to rip in the snow with the push button 4wd

Just picked one of these up 2 weeks ago and I’ve been waiting for you to post a video about one and the time finally came

[DGRS]

The second I saw that coolant spraying up while you were doing throttle checks, and saw that white smoke, I was yelling HEADGASKET! at the screen lol. I've had the white smoke monster claim a few race engines in my vehicles over the years. I feel for ya. Never fun.

I had a buddy back in the day when these were new that had one identical to this one. Seeing this immediately flashed me back to when he hit a road approach going way way way too fast 🤣 it flew so far and so many things broke! They might be a “sport” quad but they ain’t made for jumping 👍

[BlockchainToTheFace]

Well sir you’ve been POLARIS’D again! I really don’t know how this company made it through the late 90’s

[JJ-JOHNSON]

Joe does an awesome job giving these old machines a second life, awesome job.

[neutonrenda]

Interesting that it ran so well and went back to the same problem. Looking forward to seeing what you discover in the teardown. 👍

[dirtyd]

Pumping the throttle does nothing Joe. No accelerator pumps on these bikes. Awesome video none the less, keep saving these old bikes and quads

[jaymoney]

I love this channel. Seems like you run your diagnostics in the same pattern every time. I do not own any small engines, but I almost want to buy a non-running one, just because I feel comfortable after watching these videos.

[timhiggins]

Holy cow! Three and a half minutes in and we start with a pressure wash! Love it. And love your videos, Joe.

[micahhittinger]

With that being a two stroke, you can put a pipe on it and really wake it up. I had one of those that I bought brand new back in 98 or 99. I bought an FMF pipe and silencer for it and an HPD clutch kit. Those two items totally transformed the quad. It ripped! I was drag racing and beating pretty much any sport quad of the day.

[thebigguy]

Props to you, it is a far bigger job than I would tackle. My patients would choose to replace the engine. Thanks for all the teaching/learning moments.

[keithnsearle]

It is good that you can fix these 4 wheelers of which can be used again. But, we can all know that, when you have fixed these machines, you get your thrill testing them out when they are fixed. Keep up the good work.

[alabamared]

Waushara joe .... I noticed too in the beginning when you took the radi cap off there was a bit of glitter in the coolant not sure if you noticed or not... Keep up the great work your an inspiration to me as a former resident of your area!!!💯💯
