I have a 96 300 4×4 and it wasn’t firing when I first got it so I had the plug in and out while trying to find out what was wrong. There was no oil on the plug until i got it to fire. Now it’s soaked and not starting. It turns over and then tries to start then turns over then tries to start. You could set your watch by when it’s gonna try to start. It also backfires through the carb. So I checked and it’s in time. The chain tensioner is all the way extended so I know I need to put a new chain on. Question is would this cause my symptoms or could it be rings. Don’t understand why the plug only got oily when I got it firing.
i seemed to forget that any new plug should be checked for the proper gap. new does not mean set at the right gap, just means its new. that goes for any engine. I’ll reprimand myself later, and put a mark in my permanent record.

I have a 2003 Honda 90 ATV for my son. A while back it started acting up out of the blue. It will crank and run fine, but after about 15 minutes of riding, the ATV dies out. It will not crank until I let it sit for a few minutes. I first thought that the ignition coil was the problem, so I changed it. Same thing happens. Then I figured that the issue was the CDI box, so I bought a "perfomance" CDI from Quadboss. When I changed the box, the ATV would not start. Checked for spark and there was none. Put the old CDI on and I had a spark. Quadboss didn’t have any more CDI’s in stock so I got a refund and bought one from D2 Moto. This CDI would crank the ATV but as soon as I put it in gear the ATV would die. Swapped to the old one and there were no issues. I returned that CDI and was refunded my money. The latest CDI I bought on Amazon and it is giving me the same issue as the first replacement, I have no spark. Swap to the old CDI and I have spark. Anyone have any idea what is going on here??

I read redrocket and other’s threads on fuse block installs and went to tackle mine today on my 14 grizz 700. I had 8 gauge wire laying around so i used that. I know it’s overkill but it was free, and i might add my winch to the fuse block eventually. I plan on wiring up my light bar and heated grips for now. My question is how big of wire do i need for the ground to the relay? I’m going to run the 8 gauge wire from the battery to the negative and positive posts of the blue sea 6 block fuse panel. Can i just splice into the negative from the battery that runs to the fuse panel, or should i run a dedicated ground to the relay? I have an inline fuse from the battery positive to the relay. I have 8 gauge wire from the relay out to the positive post on the blue sea block. I would take pictures but nothing is installed yet because i’m waiting on a heat gun to shrink wrap all of my connections.
