ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!! Muhuhahahaha. Uploading the video to youtube as we speak. Runs absolutely perfect. Sounds and feels dirty! You can feel every revolution in your chest.

Just found this hangout and looks like I can hang here. I live in Mo, between New Florence and Montgomery City. I have an 88 4Trax. Love it! All stock except a few add-on's. I use it at least 3 or 4 times a week. It is a workhorse!

Approximately $27200 Fish! It was called the "secret sound", they played a sound on the radio and you had to guess what it was. The answer was, taking a screwdriver bit out of a hand ratchet screwdriver and putting it back in again!😂😂 my ex girlfriend's mother had the answer but because they rang me back, I got the money split 3 ways! So we ended up with €7800 ($8840) each!

Are your doors attached to the lower doors? I like the white on the wheelers but not as much on the vehicles. The BR should look good with it. I don't think I have posted these here but have in other places before.

This chipper is a little animal! I bought it when I was out with a back injury for nearly 6 months about 2.5 years ago. I won some money on a radio station (24k euro approximately) and treated myself to a little investment! It was around €1500 new. This one has a 5.5hp 200cc Loncin engine, belt driven with 2x reversible blades that mash up anything to about 1.75 inch diameter (45mm). I only have about 46 hours on the clock since I got it but it has chipped some amount of stuff for me. I have had to weld the bottom end of both chutes as they have both cracked with the thin crappy steel they're made of. It also had a terrible kill switch bar, anytime you leaned towards the infeed chute your leg would kill the power. So I removed the bar and fit an emergency stop button instead! Much better and still safe to use, it's also easier to access than the on/off switch. The only big downside is the weight of it, about 86 kg total. I made a front swivel axle for it with the help of a welder friend, so when I push it, it's on 4 wheels and easier to move around, when it's chipping it sits on 2 wheels so as not to vibrate away!

This is going to go well with my Pioneer 1000, 2016 420 Rancher and 2019 Duramax. I’ve just got a thing for white vehicles....lol

Starting on my Honda Big Red build soon. Gathering parts and pieces as we go. Stripping a parts bike frame down this weekend for powder coat and planning to build from that. Plans are 18% Reduction Boss GR, 350cc Big Bore kit from JR Trikesports, 28-29.5 outlaws for now. The first piece came in the mail today!!! Custom run white Maier Fenders.

Hey Jay glad you found us, best Honda ATV site on the internet...

Welcome! 😀

Welcome J. glad to have you here😆

Welcome Sir !

I think you've made a wise decision Pip. Hollar at us when ya get ready to rip and tear on it.

Wow thanks for all the input guys. Means a lot that you are all willing to keep putting your advice and knowledge into this to help me out. I know its going to be the best idea to split the cases and clean the engine out properly... so that's what I'm going to do. I'm not sure when I'll get round to doing this, it might have to wait till around June or so. I'm 18 and have exams to prepare for at the moment at college (college is a bit different over here lol) so most of my free time is going into that currently 😞 lol. I might end up doing it over a period of time I'm not sure, the only negative to that is I'd probably start to forget what goes where lol. So doing it when I'm totally free looks to be the best option. Appreciate all the help

Penalty points for telling the truth. What’s this world coming too. Lol.

They use to do call in like that here , now days it is text to a number with the answer , so they can sell your number to tele-marketers , so I don't participate ----I texted the answer for a sports question and my prize was : now I get bombarder with the bookies texting and calling to sell me the winners

I Seen a chain scrapper in Target for $20. Looks like chain mail wrapped around a sponge of sorts

Correct, a drum about 6 inches diameter with opposite blades that are reversible for quick blade change. I also got a spare set with them untouched so far. I get about 10 hours chipping per sharpen, which in my book is good cus I won't chip unless I have a stock pile of branches. I think the drum rotates at about 15000rpm but I could be wrong, it sucks in small stuff in a shot so I wouldn't like to have a finger or hand go in! The belt is brilliant, if something gets stuck or jams it won't burn the clutch, the belt slips and I knock off the engine straight away. Its funny, most of the time it's a tiny piece of wood chip that stops the drum dead! The guy that sold it to me said it can take 4inch branches and I laughed at him, it will, at a rate of about an inch a minute. There are bigger machines for bigger timber! I got this one as it not only fits in the van, but I can bring it through someone's house if they have no side access to their back garden. Saves dragging loads of branches through the house..

Mud is my favorite to ride in

It must have a small drum with the knives below the motor? Mine is different but also shreds. It has a big disk/drum with the chipper knives on one side and shredder teeth on the other. It's all motor direct, no belt that can slip if needed. Yours, if it's built the way I think it is, should take a lot less power to work.

It goes away at the end of the video. It was ticking pretty good until it got the oil to the topend. I did set the valves a tad loose also and will be adjusting them again after heat cycles.

i hear what sounds like loose valves ??. or cam chain ?.

and what ALWAYS goes with white ?..MUD !!!..LOL.

If it's the same talstar ... I use ..... Yeah.... It would kill them, no problem.... talstar p..... But i think you might talking about another type of talstar pioson...the stuff i use completely wipes out fire ants ... I reckon you could dose .... What ever the rodents are feeding on .... I'm all for thinning down the buzzard population ... As their a very protected species around here.... They Go right for a new born calves eyes .... Farmers around here have had it with loosing new born calves...

Either way that you approach this problem Pip, its gonna require some more work and expense. As you have learned we are each committed to going step-by-step with ya... we enjoy your experiences and successes as much as you do. We will celebrate just as you will too... lets get started on splitting those cases eh?

You know how to butcher a deer don't you?.......smaller pieces.

***Update*** had an hour today to work on the quad. The new wrist pin weighed exactly what CP said it would. Down to the final touches. Gunna hear this thing thump today! Been a long time coming!

I need to get me a chipper. It would have to be bigger than that to fit my daughter's boyfriend...I mean...er...some bigger bits of wood into.....

Yep, besides a few gaskets it's just time at this point. You don't even need a flywheel puller since that can be left in place. That "junk" will contaminant the oil and ruin a new set of rings.

It's not voodoo magic splitting cases. You just have to take your time. Put a big sheet of wood or cardboard out, and take things apart there, keeping everything arranged as it comes out.

as retro pointed out ^^^, your taking a very big gamble here bro !. you can try the short cut if ya want ?, but to me ?, that engine will not last very long if you do not do this the right way. i hope you decide to do it the right way ?, but if not ?, oh well..you will live and learn what short cuts can do in the long run !.

Oh boy... you are in a tough spot Pip. Getting that change clutch nut off is the least of your problems now. Just as I feared your motor needs to be cleaned out before you can reassemble it. It looks to me like the centrifugal clutch weights might be worn out too. We'll have a look at those shortly.... along with the oil pump but lets move on. I am going to provide my opinions now on what you are dealing with and explain how you might take a shortcut that should allow you to reassemble the motor with an expectation that it might run and last for a while. You really should remove the motor and tear it down completely to fix it right... but you have indicated that is not an option for you. So lets get started on plan B, and do our best to win eh? I believe the previous owner(s) have run that motor using the wrong type (and cheapest low quality) motor oil in it for many years and rarely ever changed the oil. Your motor oil has broken down badly and is saturated with carbon. The motor has water in it too. It is basically used up, heavily abused and abandoned junk in my opinion. The sump in that motor is full of hard carbon particles and decayed, broken down motor oil. Its got to be flushed out thoroughly else all of the money and time that you are spending on it will be wasted. So here is my shortcut suggestions... Leave the clutch nut alone for now and begin working to remove the motor from the frame. Remove any loose thrust washers, o-rings and anything else that is loose in there so you won't lose them while handling the motor once it is out of the frame. Once the motor is out remove the oil drain plug and the rags that you have stuffed around the rod and cam chain and begin to wash and flush out the crankcase with diesel fuel, mineral spirits or other solvent, whatever you can get your hands on. You'll need a large drain tray or drain pan to sit the motor in and catch the junk and solvent that you'll use. Do this outdoors, solvents are flammable. Don't catch yourself on fire. Pour a small amount at a time into the crankcase and roll the motor around (roll it upside down too) so the solvent will coat and wash off all of the internal parts, cases and sump. Drain and flush it out several times until there are no more black particles washing out of the sump. Once its clean use compressed air to help force out the remaining solvent as you roll and tilt the motor around in your large drain tray. Then pour some clean motor oil into the sump and roll the motor around to coat the internal parts with clean oil. The small amount of solvent remaining should mix with that oil.... then drain it all out one last time. Stuff clean rags down around the rod and cam chain again before cleaning up your messes. Remove the clutch nut using a 27mm socket and Impact wrench. Either borrow an impact from a friend or take the motor to a shop and ask a mechanic to zip that nut off for you. Then install the motor back into the frame. This is how I would handle things if given no other choice. Be careful man...

Well at least it helped your shooting. Few years back my youngest daughter (probably 10-11 at the time) got a finger slammed in one of those big metal school doors. Tip was hanging by a thread. I work a half hour away so mom went to get her to drive her to the ER. While they were driving, Mom (who is one of the most blunt people I know) is talking to me on speakerphone, and says "The tip is just barely hanging on, it might fall off before we get to the hospital" and in the background I can hear the kid saying "Stop talking about it! I'm going to throw up" and Mom says "Well you're probably going to lose your finger" . Kid is in the back freaking out. Most adults would have been "it's gonna be fine!" but not Mom. She's like "Yeah you're going to be a mutant" Anyhow, they sewed it back on, and it looks a little flat but otherwise hasn't given her any issues.

Jeep sorry, it does work ok, just no feeling in it, aches in the cold and a bit of a paint in the butt when trying to type. Can still pull the trigger, actually kind of helped with that. Dontjerk the trigger anymore when hunting LOL.

I never had any issues with my old one. I know how to adjust it properly without going too tight. It does require more attention yes. I honestly don't put thousands of miles on, so I'm sure it will be fine...

Lets get ready to spend some $$$$$$ New 355BBK Cometic Gaskets Check. New 355BBK Total Seal Rings Check. New Torq Locker Check. Ordering right away... Wide Open 424 repair cable. Complete engine gasket kit. Complete oil seal kit. DID Chain & Manual Adjuster. 1 way bearing. New Plug, Oil & Filter. New Uni-Filter. That'll get me going until I tear into her.... What am I missing???

She’s out. Ready for a clean, disassemble, have to remove front diff & tear apart to install new torq locker I’m gonna order as well. I’ll be a busy man!

rear axle turns the same on both sides, its not a split axle, solid axle, just like positive traction in cars, both sides will always turn the same speed.

if he's not an engineer ?..HE SHOULD BE !!!..LOL.
