I like your mechanics. I've had two working on my Mercury. Your's are probably more knowledgeable than mine. 2.5 hours of troubleshooting and they still can't get it started. The one in the pink uniform looks like she could fix anything.😅
Ha ha, they enjoy being part of the videos for sure. Almost dropped a 1/2 wrench on my little guys head the other day when under our 4Runner. Not sure he realized how close he was to feeling our pain.
I like Seafoam, it does degrease the fuel circuit to some degree, but sometimes with a smaller outboard motor you have to remove the carb, disassemble and clean the idle and main fuel jets to get her going.
I’m not an affiliate or anything. This is what I installed in the vid. Been good so far but my property is pretty small so I’m not putting on too many miles. a.co/d/5VNumIN
You might want to describe the product in the above write up instead of focusing on your music selections. Nowhere did you mention exactly what the product description is!
Ha, I didn’t notice that. Definitely should be listed in the description. On a side note, I got pinged for copyright infringement which is why there’s so much music listed there. Had to add it to all my videos.
I remember and still have my 77 orange ct70 it has always been reliable and fun when jumping terraces in our field but we also had a 78 metallic blue but it doesn’t run correctly, I guess the timing is off.
I have to renew some golden eagle decals on my 77 and I do not have any confidence whatsoever and absolutely know I’m bound to fail at it so I’m glad to see you were able to put yours on fine.😂
Great job dude there's only one thing I'm confused about when you have the engine out and all the wiring why didn't you just strip it down and paint the frame? my God why would you ever want to go through all that again?
@@thehobbymechanic47 That's funny well I've been watching your series and you kick ass so thanks for presenting that And seriously I could see myself doing the same thing. I just ordered the icebear champion CT knock off and it's driving me crazy waiting I've been waiting 3 weeks now. Great job on this series. additionally It was cute seeing how excited your kids get about the mini bike seriously I think all of us have a little bit of that in us something about mini bikes they are so much fun thanks 😊
We still use it. I’ve been religious about ensuring the battery never goes completely dead over the off season. I assume if it goes dead for too long a period then you might need to replace the battery. Other than that, we use a nylon over the catch net to better catch the finer particles. We think it’s good for quick cleanings but still use our main pool pump for the bigger messes.
Good job! Do you think theat gel product helped at all or is it a waste of $? Last vinyl I did I used soapy water but about to do the roof of my Mustang which is probably about as large as your hood area.
I applied the gel incorrectly in this video. I had the whole hood heated up in the sun which caused the gel to evaporate pretty quickly. It was stressful! If I were to do it again I’d warm up the graphic but keep the hood cool. I would use the gel again if I had to do it. I assume it evaporates slower than soapy water.
you know what eats up camshaft timing gears? oil pumps, if you are making more than 45 psi you have high oil pressure and this will wear down the timing gear quickly, had my oil pressure at 70 psi after replacing the front timing cover and oil pump assembly, it ran about 10 minutes before stripping off. then my stupid butt learned how to adjust the oil pressure.
I used a GoPro for this video. Just make sure GPS is enabled on the GoPro and you’ll have the ability to overlay a speedometer when you edit the video in the GoPro app.
Hobby mechanic nice work. I was thinking of taking the same route, but I went to www.seatbeltsplus.com/ and ordered brand new ones. You may be able to find some there if you are still looking. I have a 1984 Caprice Classic and the new ones are beautiful.
Ive taken on mowing a guys property that on top of a mountain. Its a tiered yard and the lower section is teardrop shaped and about 1/2acre. Its dome shaped to and drops off over a 100 ft hillside to another home below. As i was mowing that lower portion the other day my x350 got stuck and i couldnt back awsy from that precipice. I was scared to release my park break and tryin push it. I was afraid itd get away from me and roll over the mountain. I eventually decided to tun the wheels all the way to the left and tryin push it uphill. I used my foot as a chock to keep it from rolling away. I was able to get it to where i could get enough traction,but i learned my lesson. I cant risk desyroying a $4k mower. Ill be pushmowing that part of his property from now on. That was a scary half an hour.
No, I had to estimate based on internet pictures. There’s land marks to base your placement off of such as the windshield latch and the hood grooves. The placement wasn’t all that difficult.
The 303 repellent is amazing, I swear by it. Also, it may not be perfect at cleaning but speak to any upholstery guy. They’ll all recommend 303 as it does a good job but won’t ruin your surfaces
@micahmagnuson3752 awesome. Let me know if you have any questions. This was one of the more aesthetically rewarding projects on my Mach 1. Weird how little things make a big difference.
Hi. I’m based in South Africa and have the exact same ski. Where did you order all the riva parts from. Also what is the model of the ecoxgear speakers and ram mount model. I want to do a bulk order for everything to update and upgrade my ski. Enjoyed all the videos. Thanks Simon.
Hello in South Africa! It’s easiest to order straight from Riva Racing although I’m not sure about shipping to SA. There’s part numbers on the Riva Racing site so a quick internet search might find a more efficient means of ordering for ya. This is the part number for the speakers: F3Y-H81C0-T0-00. I bought those off of eBay. They’re pricey but pretty versatile. The mounts are included which make them pretty easy to mount anywhere and on anything. I hope you can find what you need. I’ve been happy with the Riva Racing package. I’d like to squeeze a couple more mph out of it but haven’t figured out how to do that yet.
I just bought this after seeing your review and others. The unit is now slightly changed with the charging outlet next to the power button. It’s a good sucker for sure, getting the silt and dirts very well for my koi pond. I had a pool blaster catfish three years ago and it died in less than a year due to leakage into the batteries. Hope this modified version lasts a couple of years.
Great! Yeah, ours is still alive and kicking 3 years later. I make an extra effort to ensure the battery doesn’t stay low for too long. I’m guessing that’ll be the weak point on these.
I have an 06 500 EFI. Rocky Mountain ATV did not think a 27" tire would clear the fender and wheel wells. Asked about a 26" in the Terrabite which seem to be a very good choice for an all around tire but they only make the 26" in a 14" rim size. Have not been able to find 14" rims at an affordable price. There are tons of Rzr takeoffs available but the least expensive in this area start about $500 for the set. more than I wanted to spend for this old of a machine
Yeah, this is the easiest and cheapest wheel tire upgrade I could find. I needed something more comfortable to replace my tractor tires I’d been running. In the end, I’m very happy with how they turned out. I can’t remember what I spent but it wasn’t anywhere near $500. Just have to be patient and see what pops up. Have you found anything cheaper since posting this?
Hello, Thanks for the Video. Question did you leave the voltage regulator on ? or disconnect it ? I am having problems with my 1975 Jeep Cherokee S. The dude that did the install disconnect both the Old stock Electric ignition box & Voltage Regulator. So far I have had to replace the Alternator, Battery, and waiting for a new HEI ICM. I wonder what else I need to get ? I believe it's my fault for not checking the voltage regulator ? Thanks a little help please.
I left the original voltage regulator as is. I only installed the MSD ignition controller, MSD distributor and MSD coil. I ensured all the wiring/grounds were per the instructions.
Quitale las restricciones de aire...y corta la caja de aguas a la mitad y vaciar la placa que lleva dentro...tendras un SONIDO MUCHO MEJOR Y GANARAS MAS CV🎉🎉🎉
Depends on if you need it or not. I didn’t need to. The paint adhered well. I haven’t had to repaint yet and it’s been 4 years. It’s ablative so it’s coming off one way or another.
Are there digital screen mods available? Wondering if it’s possible to install a new gen digital gauge cluster instead of original. I have a 351 Cleveland
Unfortunately no. The box is crammed in there so tight you need to remove the passenger side of the metal lower dash. I had a difficult time prying the box out and putting it back in with what little I left intact.
