My Powermax ATV Caught fire and BURNED!!!!!

Hello everyone,

The main reason for me joining this forum is to warn as many people as possible about Powermax Atvs. I know this is an Honda Forum but you maybe sharing your trails and other ATV riding areas with Powermax ATV’s.

Do you own a Powermax Atv ? Or Do you know someone who owns a Powermax ATV ?

Powermax Atv’s are now being monitored by Transport Canada for serious electrical problems, gas leaks, trottle sticking and other serious problems like these. They are also being monitered by Rick Noseworthy, The Newfoundland director for the all terrain vehicle council of Canada as well as Vice President of the Trailways council.

This was a brand new 2013 700 Powermax Atv was purchased in Gander, Newfoundland and it had serious problems such has the trottle sticking , gas leaks and electrical problems from just 55 km to approximately 900 km. It caught fire and burned.

If there are more Powermax Atvs being used on our trails and forest it is not just the owners of Powermax Atvs that maybe in danger but you and your family could be seriously hurt or killed if there are more Powermax ATVs with these serious problems being used.

I have found other Powermax Customers that have had serious problems with their Powermax ATV.

If you would like to report a Powermax Atv to Transport Canada please let me know and let me know and I will help you do that for free

valves lapped, valve seat width?

On my 04 Foreman 450s, I lapped the valves and measured the seat width. These measure over 2mm. The spec says 1.2-1.5mm. I see pictures online of new valves and my seat width looks similar to the factory seat width of new valves. I am wondering if there is an error in the factory manual.

I did not have any Prussion blue when I did these, but will get some today to check the fit.

So does anyone see any issues with my valves or seats?

Need help with my trail boss!

Hey guys, so I’m having some issues with my 350l. I’m getting it ready to sell in the next couple of days and it won’t rev up now. I bought it not running and rebuilt it .20over, clean carb but now when I go wot it bogs out bad and backfires. It revs up great in neutral. I already moved up main jet sizes from 200 to 210. Bad coil?, Stator set wrong? I’m running out of ideas.
