How to unlock a dirt bike engine
How to free up locked ATV/ dirt bike motor.
[Music]
all right now in the garage tonight this
playing around a bit not really doing
anything in particular I'm at a
standstill a little bit with the 91 LT
to 30 e over there I got some Sam
blasting to do I got all these parts
ready but I'm gonna do that this weekend
I got this cardboard set up I put
outside it's like octagon shaped and I
put a tarp down and I do on my
sandblasting outside but the weather's
been kind of cruddy here in upstate New
York still it's uh I think today's 25th
or 26th of March but this weekend's
supposed to be nice supposed to be
lower 60s but we'll take it so anyway I
got this old 230s motor that was part of
a part squad that I bought and I had it
out the other day because I was
comparing it to the LT 230 II motor that
I just polished up so this thing it's
it's hung up and get this camera stays
still here if you can see right here I
got the the clutch engaged I just stuck
a piece of brass I had in there to keep
it engaged there's no spark plug in it
so there should be really no compression
and that's the decompression release
right there but so there's no no
compression built up in this and I can't
budge that thing a couple days ago I
actually filled it up with some PB
Blaster right through the spark plug
hole and that's been sitting in there
and it's not budging so I don't really
need to do anything with this motor
right now but again I'm just trying to
kill some time so I think I'm gonna pop
this head off tonight and see if I can't
take a look in there and see what's
going on okay we have 11 bolts that hold
this
copy this head on so it's a ten
millimeter socket I'm gonna go ahead and
remove those I always go crisscross
taking these off this so you don't tweak
something
[Applause]
all right so I ended up getting the
cover off and just something to keep in
mind because the motor was hung up I
didn't know what position to motor was
in so when you take these bolts out like
I said I always kind of do in the star
pattern anyway so once you get to your
last couple be careful as you're taking
them off because not knowing what
position the motors and the valve
springs may have some pressure on them
stone it kind of wants to kick the cover
off so it popped up on me a little bit I
was expecting it but just keep that in
mind sometimes they don't go flying
right off on you but what I ended up
doing is I took the magneto cover off
and I got my half inch ratchet on here
and it took a little bit took a little
effort but I actually got it to break
free so not sure what I'm gonna do with
it at this point there's the kickstart
so I don't know I might maybe I got an
old frame out in the shed maybe throw it
in a frame and rig up a muffler and I
got the carburetor for it maybe see put
some fresh oil in and see if it runs or
I may end up taking it down and ripping
it apart and rebuilding it just for the
sake of doing it and I can make a series
of videos on that not sure yet like I
said I had some time to kill so I
figured I'd play around with this
tonight but that's it look out for some
future videos I have coming up
