I recently took a Trailboss on a trade with a buddy of mine, he’s had it for a while and he’s always had troubles starting it, aaaand now it’s become my problem lol
It’s a ’98 250 Trailboss, automatic, 2WD, the battery is no good so I’ve been using the pull start. It used to start up no problem, but once in a blue moon, you could try pull starting it for an hour and nothing. Well the problem seems to be getting worse, in the last week I’ve only had it running twice.
But sometimes it fires up perfect, it sat outside overnight for 13 hours, and started up fine on the first pull without the choke, and then an hour later, I couldn’t get it started.
It sounds like it’s pulling over fine, I replaced the sparkplug, the old one was wet when I took it out so it seems to be getting it’s fuel.
So to recap:
Pull start only
Sometimes fires up on the first pull and runs A+
Most of the time it wont fire up.
Wheelers aren’t exactly my expertise, I’m more of a car and truck guy, so I’m a rookie when it comes to working on wheelers lol
So, after doing some initial research I decided to go from 14/38 set-up on my 06 TLD to a 13 tooth front since the chain is shot and I need to swap it out. I go the TM aftermarket swing-arm slider that is "designed for hot-setup 13th". I have noticed a few places that mention some other issues not to run 13 up front. Something about shaft damage. Don’t see how lowering the leverage arm on the torque being applied to chain could cause an increase in shaft bearing stress. Am I missing something? Is there a concern with going 13/38?
I had to pull the clutch off of my Sportsman are replace the buttons as they were shot. I did preload it when I put it back together however it now only has 1 gear which I believe to be high gear. The spring is in the correct holes but not sure if the spring is going in the correct direction. Does it go clockwise down or counter clockwise down? Or is that even the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 2014 Grizzly 450 4×4 (no eps). I can start it, no problem in N but can’t start in P. The engine doesn’t even turn over (nothing happens when it’s in P and I press the start). I swear it used to start in P, but now I’m not even sure. Any ideas? Is this how its supposed to work…if not, any ideas on the problem?
