I am still in the video - the carb JUST came out. "It needs a carb cleaning..." seems to be the go-to for any non-running machine. However, my heart sank when I saw the compression test. I am at 24 minutes so my fingers are still crossed 🙂

@pinkcharly9676 19 күн бұрын

Besides a carb cleaning and few minor maintenance operations, it needed nothing more. I think the seller was quite honest!

Always Remember to note...every buyer is not mechanically inclined so keep that in mind..also not everyone wants to work on even the littlest things so it doesnt matter how honest you are..people suck & are never satisfied

My guess is the previous owner left ethanol fuel in it for too long. There are folks that will stand by their ethanol fuel but in my experience it has always went bad like you see in this video when left too long . I suspect that ethanol attracts water which then creates the muck in the tank and carbs. I don’t see that problem with premium non ethanol fuel, my Honda 4 trax had at least 5 year old premium none ethanol fuel in it and continued to start right up and run perfectly every time. I finally drained the tank and put fresh gas in it. The gas I drained looked fine so I divyed it up between my motorcycles that I regularly use….no problems. 😎

I need to find one for parts for my 01 Rubicon. Wow, the tool kit was actually with it. Those Hondamatic units will last forever as long as the oil is serviced regularly and has never been run dry or anything. Also, when replacing the angle sensor, using the cheapo Chinese ones can cause swashplate issues when they fail. That's the sensor that it's most important to replace with a high-quality sensor like oem, Sensortech, CW, and Wrench Rabbit. I'm currently in the process of basically re-building my Rubicon with 6500 mi on the odometer. Right now, i've got the rear end apart, cleaning the housing, replacing the bearings and seals, and getting ready for the new ring gear/axle shaft. Great video to wake up to this morning.
