☆☆☆Honda TRX350D HELP ☆☆☆

☆☆☆ please help 1987 honda trx350d ☆☆☆
i have a honda trx350d and im the third owner. The quad is in pristine condition. The quad starts and runs like a champ and purrs like a kitten for like 20 minutes straight and then shuts completely off. Sometimes it will start back up after a few seconds or sometimes it takes awhile to get it started again. Originally thought it was a carb issue. Was told it had a brand new carb on it from previous owner. Took carb apart to clean and everything was clean as a whistle and new inside of it. Reinstalled and got atv running again then shut back off and couldn’t get started again. Since then i have replaced the fuel pump with a brand new one and still the same problem. At this point im not sure what to do. It does have spark i checked that as well. At a loss at this point and need help, please. Thank you in advance pete……..

2013 850 XP RPM WAAAAY Above Normal

Hey Guys,
So I have a 2013 Sportsman 850 XP. Last year my bike would start acting up. My check engine light would come on and my RPM would be all over the map both high and low. At that time I brought it into my dealer. He said that the contacts in the little box above the throttle were dirty so he cleaned them and it should be good. It still did it just not as often.

Then I go out hunting and my RPM at idle is anywhere between 1700-2000RPM. High enough that I can’t even change gears. I give the throttle a quick double tap which seems to bring my RPM back down to normal (1200-1250) which allows me to change gears before it idles back up again.

Anybody know what the hell is going on or how I can fix it.

2008 250 TRX smoking

Hey guys, I pulled out 08 250TRX out of storage since we are going to sell it. Fired right up but it’s smoking a little. We did add some seafoam to the tank last fall but the smokes coming from the engine itself not the exhaust. Any idea what might be causing it? How does this effect its value? It’s in great shape overall, runs strong.

You can (maybe) see the smoke at the end of this:

ds650 with 40mm intake valves?

Hello, I am new to this forum and a fairly new can-am owner. Just a bit of background, I purchase a non running ds650 about 8 months ago from a guy that got it non running in a trade. Price was right, so I took a chance and bought it "blind" not knowing the history of the quad. Original issue was no spark, after chasing wires and a new cdi I got it running.

Fast forward to last week, it kicked back when starting and ended up shearing some teeth on the starter and double starter gear. Decided to go through the top end and make sure all was good while waiting on a new parts. The engine had a few surprises including a high compression piston, big bore, and lots of head work. Along with a broken intake camshaft and a bent intake valve…. So now I am not sure what to do with this far from stock head. Has anyone ever messed with a head that has had enough work to accommodate 40mm intake valves and 32mm exhaust valves? Any recommendations on fixing this head or would I be better off picking up a used head that is stock?
