After buying an 01 Grizzly a month or so ago and rebuilding the top and bottom end, i found a 2000 Kodiak for cheap. the owner could not get it started. it had spark, fuel & good compression but would not hit a lick. so i gambled on what i thought it was. got it home and the next evening pulled the flywheel and yep. the woodruff key was sheared. timing was off about forty degrees. Took the key from my Grizzly that was waiting on parts, and put it in the crank, reasembled the mag end and maybe spun over 2 times before it fired up and purred. all gears including 4 wheel drive work. no engine or transmision noise. no smoke. front outer cv joint popps a little in tight turn but already have a new one ready for replacement. replacing the coolant this week.
