First Start Attempt on $900 Can-Am DS 650 Quad. Will It Run? (Part 3)

all right guys welcome to part three on the ds 650 from 2000. as you guys know picked this up a couple days ago for 900. we got the engine back together it was all in pieces you can see um i believe all the pieces are down on one of these bins and i've got a bunch of leftover parts right here but uh we pieced it back together and we figured out all the parts were there we still didn't get spark i've got a trigger coil coming for it i should be here today trigger coils right in here the trigger coil sends a signal to the cdi and tells it to spark so i'm hoping that's the issue with that um but today we finally got the top and gasket kit so that took forever to get through the mail place right here top and gasket kit so we're all good to go there we can now take everything back off and then put the gaskets on and then reassemble it all and then we should be good um last video we timed it all and did all that fun stuff and everything looked to be correct the shims were a little bit um too small so i'm thinking we're going to be swapping out shims but it depends on how how everything tightens up so so i'm going to start tearing everything down right now we're going to jump ahead to where i'm putting on the gaskets and then we'll start the assembly from there you guys already saw the last video where i pretty much reassembled the whole thing i'll jump to the main points and then once we have the engine together we're gonna work on the spark issue so that's kind of the plan um stay tuned should be interesting how it all comes together and if we can get that spark it's gonna be a good one maybe we can even do first start up today anyway guys stay tuned it's gonna be fun all right so we got the engine stripped down back to the piston um took everything off was pretty simple took probably took me like 15 minutes we're gonna get the old gasket off you can see there's remnants of the old gasket right here piece is just falling off right there so we're gonna get that cleaned up with a razor blade making sure nothing falls in there all right we've got one more back corner back here other than that looking pretty good all right brand new gasket going on just got this puppy timing chain needs to go through it might be a little bit better so tricky with all the wires in the way there we go this is on took longer than i expected that's the only gasket we needed the base gasket's fine couple comments last video said that you could see bubbles coming around the gasket that's because this thing's not tightened down yet this thing doesn't get tightened down the cylinder doesn't get tightened down until the head goes on and then you tighten these bolts so that's probably why you saw some bubbles and then another guy said that the he saw a crack in the piston it was actually a little piece of hair on the piston so there's no crack in it you can see i'll really show you guys there's no crack anywhere on the piston i really checked the top of it before i put it back together last video and it's it's good to go so that gasket looks like it all lines up let's get the head back on and get everything torqued down we also need the other cam chain guide in there after we get the head on all right we got the head on and then the cam chain guide right here and there's another one right here usually there's only one but there's two on this one on this model so um we're gonna get these bolts in and then a couple nuts right here four nuts and then find the torques back torque those down and see where we're at all right just looked at the torque specs for um the big nuts right here 44 foot pounds a lot of guys just torque it to 39 because they said they strip them out and then the two inner ones right there and right there which i believe are 10 millimeter those are torqued to 20 foot pounds and then the ones for the allen heads are just to touch um just nice and snug on the side here so let's torque those down quick and then install that cam you that one's feeling like it's gonna strip so all right everything's torqued down let's get the cam on and see how that looks all right guys down here um i spun the motor over to top dead center there's a little mark in there really hard to see um but it's just going horizontal to that and uh it's just right on the flywheel but um we've got it all timed up now these two valves are just a tad tight so i have to order some new shims for them i kind of switch them around and played with them and they still are reading at like point zero zero two they're supposed to be point zero zero four to point zero zero six so they're a little type they're not completely tight and then these are perfect over here so i probably have to order some new shims for it just to make sure but for right now uh this is fine we're just gonna do a couple test runs with it uh crank over the engine make sure everything's uh you know spinning correctly and all good to go we did get the sprockets timed up perfectly if you look you can see the line right there and there's another horizontal line on the sprocket right there those are lined up perfectly the cam chain is nice and tight you can see so everything should spin freely in there we're going to take off the stator cover and just check and see if it spins all right just for testing purposes we're going to take off this cover and crank over the engine a couple times i don't really need the stator cover on here for this make sure that cam chain is good because i do know that's a new chain on there so hopefully the guy ordered the correct one for it i did not put that on there so you will have to see magnets are strong in there oh there's one more in there that's why that would do it this goes right on there like that goes on this all right let's see if we can crank over the engine here oh that's not good something with the cam chain now it has a bunch of slack in it that's really weird let me see what's going on down there should not have that slack like that everything looks like it's good why would it have that slack huh very strange i don't know if there's too much slack in there what's going on all right so everything spins smoothly now i was missing the little black piece that was going right there so everything's good now so just tighten that thing back up the cam chain tensioner and now the cam chain is nice and tight you can see and it spins over freely i'll show you guys here pretty smooth in there you can see the timing's perfect right there so we can see the timing mark this is what the timing mark looks like on the flywheel by the way see that little guy right there that's the timing mark and then see if the lines are lined up yep perfect so we're good to go there um let's get the starter hooked up to it and see if we have some spark now all right let's see if it turns over now looks pretty good oh i saw spark holy cow guys it sparked oh baby let's take a closer look it was sparking all right take a close look right here let's see if they spark now oh yeah this one too that is awesome you guys see that spark sweet so we got good spark um that is just awesome all right so that problem solved that's crazy i don't know how that worked but uh it did that's sweet so we can put the cam cover on get the carburetor all set up get the stator back on um i don't know what's going on with the stator but whenever i put it on it doesn't turn over so i'm thinking maybe it's not bolted down all the way but yeah we can put everything back together and uh maybe give this a little a little test run um maybe pop it over for a couple minutes uh we gotta see if there's oil in it all that fun stuff but uh yeah let's start piecing it back together and continue this project all right we gotta get the temperature gauge hooked back up here um i don't believe trying to look for a gasket for this thing i think that might be the gasket on there can't really tell all right found the gasket for it this goes on here like that and then goes on there so let's put that on quick so you all right let's get the cam cover on here goes on just like this quick check gasket's good all right quick put that on right here pretty good thing tighten down all right cam cover is now on looking pretty good all the bolts are torqued down so we've got a hose that goes right here let's stick that on there quick there we go and pinch that guy down that's done all right now let's get the engine mounts on there's a mount that goes right here and connects to that there's a bolt that goes up here right there and then this one's just kind of hanging on there you can see the nut right there when you tighten that up and i believe that's all the engine mounts we have so let's get going oh there's one right there too all right so i believe we have everything hooked up we're going to add some fluids to it and try to attempt to start this thing uh we do need to find one uh clip for the carburetor to stay on here just one um tie down right there but other than that i think she's good to go um doesn't have an air filter right now it's racking around for too long but everything else is good to do an oil change on this thing the oil is up here we need to drain the oil canister there's a little drain bolt right here we're going to drain that and then there's a bolt underneath the engine you can see it get my flashlight here you can see it right down there right there i believe it's a 17 millimeter bolt that needs to come undone and then there is a drip there is a bleeder for the oil i'm not sure where that is i'll have to find that but um and then the coolant just goes right in here right in here and that goes to the temperature gauge and then down here oh that needs to be tightened down see this is why we go through everything that definitely needs to be tightened down and that goes over to here to the water pump that hose is good and that gets filtered in to the cylinder right there so pretty easy pretty simple we're going to double check the hoses make sure they're all good and nice and tight and then we're going to put some gas in the carburetor do the oil change see if this thing cranks over let's start with doing the hoses and then we'll work our way to the oil change all right just making sure all these hoses are good before we start pouring fluids in them this one wasn't really even on reposition that crank that on we're gonna find out if we have leaks here pretty fast all the hoses look pretty good got a couple hoses up here making sure these are all nice and tight that one's tight that one's tight let's go back over here there's a couple right here gotta make sure that one's tight it was a little bit loose nice and tight it's the one on there tight feels nice and tight all right everything looks pretty good let's uh drain the oil and see what's in there for oil i don't think there's a whole lot because it was drained from the tube right here so let's start with the bottom of the engine and then work our way up to the oil tank can be kind of hard to see in here but uh 17 millimeter drain this puppy oh man that's on there there we go it's probably gonna get everywhere because it's got the skid plate but hopefully it falls right through that hole hoping we can only hope there's not much in there it's already pretty much drained you can see nothing coming out not a whole lot this is interesting though this is magnetic the bolt on here see if there's any metal shavings no nothing yet that's a good sign no metal shavings let's take a closer look at this this will tell us a lot about the machine gotta dig in there just some goop yeah no metal that makes me feel a lot better sweet looks really good actually all right this is the bottom of the oil canister tank i believe it's 14 millimeter nope 13. oh that stuff is on there got this little cup to go underneath holy that's filling up fast oh i thought that was going to overflow for sure that looks like pretty good oil it's almost like brand new it looks like a bunch of crud on here though you can see old oil deposits plug that guy back up all right we're on the right side of the quad now we're going to take a look at the oil filter i could not find a new one of these now i got a tip from a guy on facebook i wouldn't have really known this if he didn't message me but there's a bleeder screw somewhere that we have to find that if you don't bleed the oil when you drain it and then refill it and you don't bleed it you can blow up the crank and the whole thing will be correct the whole engine so this looks like a new filter in here it's dry i don't know if that means it's new or it's been sitting for a very long time there we go oil filter doesn't look too bad no metal chunks or anything a little bit of sludge i'm sitting yeah probably could use a new one at some point champion it's the brand on the filter all right so i was looking for that bleeder screw and it turns out it's right behind here but if we look it should be right there i'll zoom in so you guys can see it it's that guy right here that's the bleeder screw so let's see if we can take a flat head i don't know how hard that is to turn i might need two hands for that oh that guy does not want to come well that little screw is not coming out of there um i guess i need a bigger screwdriver or something but it's not coming out so what we're going to do is just fill up the oil canister with oil and then we're going to turn it on uh and crank the engine a couple times see if that oil starts pumping through right here and then we know it's uh it's you know it's the oil is coming um and it's bleeding if the oil light does not turn off up here and it stays red then we have to somehow get that screw out of there and bleed the system because that means there's no oil getting through the the engine so let's just fill it up with oil this thing takes 3.2 quarts so it takes quite a bit we're just using some 10w40 motorcycle oil as long as you use oil that's for wet clutches it should be fine oil plug is in drain plug is in see if it weeks anything no leaking yet so all right spark plugs are in let's see if we can crank this a couple times get that oil flowing put this back on [Laughter] [Music] oh yep we've got some oil flowing through right here that's good let's put the filter back in and then add the rest of the oil all right we add the rest of the oil let's crank it over again and see if this works [Music] the red light's not turning off we might have to start it up to get this thing to turn off so so let's add some coolant and see if we can start this thing any weeks happening checking for weeks before we add a bunch nothing yet that's good keep on adding so all right that's enough cooling for now we'll recheck it when we start this thing up if it starts all right let's add some gas to the carburetor and attempt to do this thing i am getting pretty nervous here hopefully everything goes right and this thing starts up one more piece to the puzzle we need to add the pipe completely forgot about that so let's add that quick i think all the bolts are here for it i might have to find a couple bolts but um yeah let's quick add the pipe all right let's add a little gas to the situation i don't know if the starters can have enough juice to crank this thing over especially with the one intake valve being tight it's a little harder to rotate the engine but we will try all right here we go it's got gas we've got the pipe on there first attempt will it run hopefully we still have spark i don't think the battery has enough power to crank the thing over um let's see what should we do i've got a battery we can add we'll add a battery to it and then try cranking it new batteries in try one more time [Laughter] definitely cranks over fast enough that's good let's add some more gas here we go [Music] [Music] she started oh man that thing was rubbing high oh man that thing revved to the moon right away good thing the kill switch worked i think uh oh you'll set a little high there all right we're gonna try it again i lowered the throttle all the way down so we'll see what happens now should be interesting yeah she's arguing way too high way too high i don't know why that's doing that but um we gotta get the engine mounted anyway i could see it shaking all over the place so i forgot to tighten up the mounts down there i forgot i put the mounts just in their placeholder i didn't tighten the mounts so the mounts need to be tightened down um we need to figure out the carburetor situation i don't know why it's just revving to the moon like that um either there's an air leak or you know something's going on i think maybe the carburetor needs to be taken apart and looked at because i didn't do that yet and this thing's been sitting for a while so we'll do all that stuff we gotta get the uh stator back on as well sitting over there it's just been binding up for for some reason but we'll get that all set and that next video will hopefully have this running properly but we got a lot accomplished we got the whole engine together today we got spark which i did not think we were gonna get and we actually got it to fire up for the first time and it fired up right away so timing must be spot on so that's awesome i'm pretty pumped about that well hope you guys enjoyed the video and maybe even learned something on this video i know i did it was uh interesting trying to get spark for that whole time and trying to diagnose this problem but we figured it out and i think we're gonna have a running quad next video so anyway guys thanks for watching thanks for subscribing until next time we are out
