Ok guys I posted on here a week or so ago with a poor running rancher. Basically I am getting fuel, I am getting Fire, I have good compression, and my valves are adjusted properly. But It WILL NOT run. I had a friend check it out (used to work a dealership but doesnt work on much anymore) and he seems to think that it was something electronic or something with timing. I took it to my local honda dealership and he went on about how it was out of time as well and probably had a timing chain loose or break or something, he never mentioned electronics and since I had the floor boards off and it has a snorkel kit he would not work on it. It has been pointed out to me and does look like the engine has been in to before.
I have done a top end on a rincon before so I am hoping I can do this fix myself, Simply put I cannot afford for someone else to do it for me so I am here for help. Pulling the motor and checking the timing chain sound like the right track to take? I have no idea where to begin so I am hoping one of the veterans will help out a youngster here that has most likely been shafted by the previous owner of this machine.
