2003 Sportsman 700 spits, sputters and backfires
In ran great again. This winter my son was using it to plow snow. Parked it in the garage. I went to use it later and it ran kinda rough. But once it warmed up it seemed fine. Anyway used it through the winter with little issues. But it seemed to really hesitate when I first gave it gas. This spring I noticed the coolant was low, but not leaking. Drained oil and there was coolant in crank case. I just got around to fixing it. I pulled the head and jug. Base gasket was shot. Replaced base gasket and head gasket. In the process I noticed one of the spark plug boots had broken (ceramic inside plug boot). Irritated that I can’t find just a boot. I came up with a temporary solution by using an old car wire I had. Just wanted to see how it would run with gaskets in place. Got it to run, but it runs like it did prior to replacing ignition system. Could it simply be that one plug wire making it run so terribly? Coil? Entire ignition system shot again? I’m about done with this thing. So I’m hoping someone has some experience that can help me out? Thanks in advance for any insights.
Trouble replacing upper left Cv boot
I know with my Polaris that I’ve done a few times has a c clip holding the axle inside the cv joint.
How do I remove the Honda one?
I just bought the bike and it has a ripped boot, I think the cv joint is ok(I hope)
I really don’t want to have to take the ball joints apart. Can I just undo the bolts to the linkage at the frame and pull the whole thing out? Or do I have to take the upper and lower ball joints apart too?
Thanks for any help
Honda Foreman 500 Seized Foot Shifter
I’m new here and in a bit of a bind. I’ve done some searching around the forum for a few hours and couldn’t find an answer to my question.
Background- I’ve got a 2005 Foreman 500 4×4 with the manual foot shift. The thing wasn’t shifting quite right into 3rd gear so I went to adjust the clutch. This is a very high mileage bike so the adjuster screw was seized within the front cover. So I pulled the front cover and removed the adjuster screw, scotch brighted it, and slammed everything back together. When I got it back together, adjusted the clutch and filled it with oil, the foot shifter wouldn’t move at all. It’s seized rock solid. So I figured I must have jammed something when I put it back together so I pulled the front cover back off to see if that was the issue. My foot pedal still wont move with the front cover off even though it seems like nothing should be able to bind it now. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing something? I don’t see anything in there that should be too concerning. I’m heading into the city to grab a repair manual and hoping maybe I’ll see some sort of issue in there but I’m doubting it. Anyone able to share their knowledge before my wife kills me? Hahaha Thanks folks
