I have a fairly new to me 02 Honda Rancher 350 4×4 Elec SHift. WHen I got it, it would run but not rev up. I figured it was just a carb issue b/c it had been sitting for a while.
Bought carb rebuild kit, installed and cleaned the carb around 15 times. I never could get it any better. Ripped the airbox cover off in frustration and saw exhaust in the airbox. Figured that the valves needed adjustment. Adjust them and it ran fine except for minor engine tick. That was probably 10-15 engine hours ago.
It started doing the same thing again where it wouldn’t rev up. Cleaned carb, no better. Pulled head cover off to start to adjust valves and noticed that the pushrod for the exaust side was mushroomed and had up and down play. The bottom of that rod looks fine. Do you think I can just replace that pushrod and its rocker arm, or do I need to tear down to the bottom.
