 This video is going to be about how to pull an engine out of a scrambler or explorer or sportsman. This all applies. I got two scramblers. I'm going to pull the motor out of that one because that one's locked up. I'm going to rip it apart and see what's going on. Otherwise the rest of this thing's in pretty decent shape. I know I got the plastics off. So let me get this guy out of the way here. Get her finished up. It's taking about two minutes and I'll pull that out and we'll start tearing it apart. Alright, this engine was locked up until I tried to turn in the clutch off and I ended up breaking the engine free. So I'm going to have to take the pull-start cover off and hang on to the flywheel and turn this at the same time as I'll end up breaking the clutch. So I'm going to pull exhaust off. Make sure you pull your springs and pull on bolts off. I got a nice loud exhaust on this baby so she should wrap pretty nice. Pull that nut and bolt off. Pull the springs and pull the exhaust off. I'm going to pull that cover off. It's pretty crusty in there. It looks like the guy swamped this thing. Yeah, we'll get that clutch off. This one's stubborn. Alright, so as I'm pulling that exhaust bolt off I noticed something. I never know what you're going to find when you buy something used. That U-joint is busted completely off. I didn't notice that when I pushed her up on the trailer. It's like something else I'm going to have to replace. That'll be my next video. Alright, so I ran into a little snag. I can't get the clutch off. I'm trying to crank on the flywheel. I know this motor's junk, so what I'm going to end up doing is I'm going to pull the jug off and I'm going to use the fried piston to kind of hold that in place while I'm trying to spin that clutch off. I've noticed this thing's been reworked and whoever reworked this engine they did a crappy job. I already started pulling off the oiler off the carb and I noticed the two spacers in between they were missing that go up to the oiler. So I'm going to pull that boot off. I'm going to pull the jug off. I'm going to stick a bar underneath the piston. Crank on that thing and get that clutch off. I've got a motor that I've already rebuilt that's sitting in the basement ready to go in. So yeah, whatever I do with this thing I guess it's pretty much junk. If I turn this thing, it sounds like crap. So the next step is we're going to take this shift lever off. Get that out of the way. I'm going to pull the bolts for the carb. There's two half inch bolts that bolt into the head for the motor mount and a 916 centeneth here. Pull my radiator hoses and I'll pull that jug off. Oh my God, it's getting worse. There was a ground strap. Actually here it is. Hang in here. I could tell somebody reworked this motor because normally the ground strap gets hooked right here. The ground strap is hooked there and it's split. I don't even know how this guy had this thing running decent and probably ran like crap. If you don't have a ground strap on the engine all your electronics are going to run really crappy. Might not even run at all. For other part, the more I take this thing apart the more I start laughing. There's a lot of crap wrong with this. I've done quite a few of these ATVs and rebuilt them before but this has got to be probably the worst one I tore apart. You can tell somebody didn't know what they were doing. Alright, let's see how chunked up this motor is. I've got the four base nuts taken off. I've got the motor mount taken off. I've got the radiator hoses off. Yeah, we're going to see. I can see through the hole where the carb is so how fried the piston is. Be able to get it off. Rusty, it's been sitting for a while. Bearing is in the piston or shot. That was probably the major issue. Bearing is everywhere. Let's show you this side of the jug. It's like black. I don't know if you're going to be able to see that. Black, carboned up. This thing's been sitting for a while so that's why the jug is rusty. That's pretty bad. The piston's pretty chewed up. Things are fried. That's a shame. The guy went through all this work rebuild and blew apart. I've got to try to get this clutch off. This thing is seized. I've taken a lot of clutches off and I've never had one that's so tight. Normally if I use my pneumatic gun I can get that to pop off. I don't know if it's rusted on or what the deal is. My thought is I'm going to stick a pry bar or something underneath the piston and crank on this. That's how I'm going to get it off. If I destroy the piston there's no big deal that's getting replaced. I'm just going to have to be careful. It worked. I've got to hang over the edge of the case here. I started cranking on this thing and she popped off. Hallelujah. I can get the clutch out and pull my belts off. We need the clutch off to get this plastic plate off. Then we can pull the motor out and it'll come off. I'll show you what I did here. I used a three-quarter inch threaded rod and I welded it out at the end and I made my own clutch puller. Works out pretty slick. What is that? The starter. From the starter fell off. Oh my God. This thing literally blew apart. Wow. I've never run across one so junky. I've got a different motor. This one's beginning to be a pain in my butt. Normally you take the secondary clutch off. It is rusted on tight. You take that clutch off and you would pull this back panel off. Right now I'm taking the three screws out. I'm going to leave this panel on and I'm going to pull the motor out that way. Some little metal tabs that bend over the screw heads. I'm vibrating out. Take a hammer and a screwdriver and you bend those out. Then we're just going to pull this plate off. This plate will come off. I'm going to bolt my snorkel holes here that goes there. Motor mount bolt is up here and then there's one on the bottom which will be on the other side. I should be able to access that and we'll get this motor yanked out yet. I tell you, riding through water or deep mud puddles this is what you're going to end up with a big rusty pile of crap. I'm going to show you this too while I'm tearing the engine apart. What is that? Water dripping out of the side of the engine. I'm guessing this block is cracked. There's your bottom motor mount. 9-16 inch bolt. There will be one on the back side here. If I could get this clutch cover off I would be able to show you. I can be able to so I'm going to have to do this from the top side and pull the motor out. I was hoping this is going to be an easy project to show you guys how easy this is to do because normally it is. Pull your clutches off, your clutch cover. Take that bolt off the back side. Unbolt that and she pulls right out. I got the rust all over the place. If I could get that secondary clutch off this job would go a lot smoother. This is the side cover for the starter. That's the fell off. It's covered with dirt. It's just hanging there. Yeah. This has got to be the absolute worst ATV I've ever worked on. But you know, you learn from it. I actually think it's kind of funny seeing how things are put back together and I find it a challenge. Hopefully you won't have to run into this. Hopefully your ATV is clean enough where it should just pop apart real easy. Yeah, it gets even worse. I don't know who had this four wheeler. He did not even put coolant. That is water from the radiator hose. Which means there's water in the radiator. Which means there's probably, radiator's probably cracked. I'm guessing the seals probably blew and water ended up getting into the engine. You probably started it up when it was cold. And that's what happened. I don't know what to say about that. Why would you put water in your radiator? That's why they make coolant. Water freezes. Alright, so I got lucky. The one and only brake I got out of this deal. If I flip this back right down there. It's right below here. It's supposed to be another nut and that bolts be another motor mount. It vibrated off. So I don't have to try to get down there to get that out. So I pulled the other motor mount bolt. And now this thing should be bolt ready to pull out. One last thing before I pull the engine is I've got to disconnect the wires going to the stator up here. Which, if I follow the stator wires up. The connection here. Another connection here. Just follow your wires, just like five wires. Unplug everything. Put it back and then you can pull the motor. Alright, so I also pulled my battery cable. The positive and the negative. Instead of disconnecting them from the engine. Because normally I would. But because of that covers in the way. I just clipped the wire tie straps. And I've got the negative hanging here. And the positive hanging here on the engine. And I just got to disconnect the the snorkel going from the clutch. And she'll be ready to pull. Let's see what happens. I'll pull it out. The starter is completely gone. Got a mess in there. Kind of expected to see parts of the starter laying in there. But, yeah. The starter is gone. This was a lazy man's machine, let me tell you. Okay, so yeah, we got the engine out. I'm going to get this all cleaned up real nice. I'm going to clean the frame. Check the fluid of the transmission. See if there's water in there. This thing's pretty chunked up. Set it on the floor. One motor removed. Sorry it was such a basket case to do. I was hoping this would be a quick easy project for you guys to watch. And, yeah. Not all four wheelers are as clean as that one. So, that one was nice and easy. Pulled the engine out. Rebuilt it. Put it back in. This one. Yikes. But, I'm going to do this right. Get the frame cleaned up. Get everything all cleaned up nice. Go through the transmission. Make sure the oil is clean. Hopefully that tyranny is still good. Put a fresh rebuild in. We'll get this baby fired up. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed the show. This one was probably a little interesting for you. I guess sometimes things don't come apart like you wish they would. Half the time that's usually what does happen. Alright. Subscribe to my channel for more Polaris repairs. And thanks for watching. Until next time.
