@@Whitestrash my 07 has a big gun exhaust and the end cap where the bolts go messed up completely so I've been riding like that for a while already. Till I get money for a new exhaust
It's a bad rectifier..the engine studder is what it's designed to do when the rectifier goes bad to keep overcharge from happening and frying all the electrical. When you pressed the brake, it lights up the brake light and draws away the extra voltage from the overcharge and runs normal, that will only last so long.
I have the same exact 4. Wheeler was running just fine 2 days ago. Pressure washed it and had no spark. Found this video, and the issue is fixed. Thank you
Fun Little bikes. I've got a 98 , put on a cheap Amazon shorty, basically a 16in resonator, no baffles. Sounds like a WW 1 fighter starting up and the backfiring keeps the cagers away.
Good explanation on that notch. I was checking mine not aware of that notch and the level was showing lower than it really was. thanks! Also, is your hard to insert, even when inserted correctly? Once almost all the way in, I need to kind of bend the stick to get the rubber peice to fit the hole, let along fit the notch.
Very well explained. Just purchased an M70 craftsman with the same setup . Will have to ensure that I have a container to fit under the body to collect the oil . Beats having to tip the mower over as I need to do in my 125 cc Yard machine.
I have a Koehler command 25hp, the left side plug get black with carbon and the exhaust on that side get fire hot in a short period of time. I check rocker arms both on good. any ideas? Thank you
I never was able to find a new one. I took one out of my own mower just to prove that's what was wrong. There's a bunch on Amazon that say they fit, but none do.
Like everyone else says...Thank you for showing me. I have the exact mower and always wondered how to change the oil. Thanks for the simple explanation.
I recommend a few things. Before removing the drain bolt, place a block under the opposing tire and tilt the engine so more oil will drain. Or you can swivel the upper frame to 90 degrees down and tilt it over and rest it on the end of that for more complete draining. This will also help keep oil from seeping in between the engine base and frame during the drain and then slowly seeping out over the next few months. It will make you think your drain bolt is leaking. Also, do not thread the dipstick in when checking. Just take off, wipe, then set it in there evenly. You want to see the oil mark in the upper hash marks. The narrator actually didn’t have enough oil in there yet, the way he checked it. It holds 600cc (.6ml), which is just over half a quart, not much. This engine does burn some oil under load so check it whenever you fill the gas tank. Also spray paint the top of the muffler housing red or yellow as a reminder to not rest your hand on it when trying to pull start the engine.
The rear diff in this case is just regular gear oil, not the same as the front diff and transmission. In this case, the amsoil is compatible with demand drive fluid and the agl so it will work for the front diff and transmission. As well as the front hubs on the older style polaris awd.
She's up and running, thanks man! Polaris brand of gear oil, used in the rear diff is called Angle Drive Fluid if anyone ever has the same question again about this bike! @@Whitestrash
Thank you! My mower is just like yours and the first time I’m changing the oil myself. The mower service folks are backed up two weeks. Really appreciate your detail on every step. .. like running it first so the oil is warm and thin and checking the gasket didn’t stick.
Thanks a lot your video is still going strong in 2024. I have a similar Yard Machine that I used your video to fix my mower. Once I wrenched my carburetor off and got that inner thread off I used a sewing needle to clean. After cleaning I sprayed with carb cleaner along with the inner holes, nooks,and crannies. All and all this is an extremely easy fix and I appreciate your video so much. God bless
If the product says 18v or 18v HP+ you can buy any Ryobi 18v batteries or if you wanna spend extra money you can get 18v HP + but the regular 18v batteries from Ryobi will work. And for amps 2.0 is good 4.0 is my go to and there is a deal rn on Home Depot where if you buy a battery pack 100$ you get a free select product.
What is that spot with the black cover under the fuel cap? It has a spring and moves when hand pushed but doesn't seem to move any other way on its own
