Thank you so much Jeep. You were 100% correct. After replacing the oil pump chain and installing the engine, I was still waiting on some new seals/boots for my front drive shaft. Being impatient to give the machine a try to see if everything worked, I covered the front differential to protect from dirt, and drove the machine up and down the road a couple of times. I would never have guessed that without the front drive shaft in it would cause all of these problems. Put the drive shaft with new seals & boots in last night and everything is working perfectly! Thanks again!

Thanks Jeep for your humility concerning this subject. Thanks Wilson for the personal message to say hi. I'm back for the first time in many months.....many months. I enjoyed this forum for the most part but left several years ago (with just a few visits per year) because of the politics and religion. This is the first post I viewed and to my pleasure discovered this new opinion concerning volatile issues. I am a strong conservative Christian man that has learned to be very careful.....I have very strong opinions like everybody else but realized that Truth in Love trumps all else. I'm back for a while to see how it goes. You "old timers" may remember that I'm not a huge four wheeler enthusiast yet I own two and that my real passion is dirt bikes. I do enjoy listening to conversations about certain problems and even contributing if I have some insight. This feels good and it's good to be back.

Some of the guys who have been around for awhile will remember the discussions we had when this board was started, in regards to politics/religion. At the time some members though it was a bad idea, but some thought it should be allowed as "free speech" Those arguing to allow such ultimately won out, so we've had free reign to do so for quite awhile now. As some predicted, it ultimately has caused problems. We've had some long time members who contributed greatly who left the board, and we've had some infighting amongst those who have remain. In short, it is proving to be eating away at the board, a little at a time. We started this board after vertical scope ruined the old board. We have a group of guys here who like to work on ATV's, and who like to help others work on ATV's. I see them as puzzles to be solved, and I enjoy working through the problems, and I also could not have done MOST of the projects I've fixed without help from the guys on this board. THAT is why this board is here. Discussing politics and religion, and having memes posted everywhere has detracted from the primary reason for this forum's existence. If this board is going to continue to survive, things have to change. We can't be fighting amongst ourselves. That said, I like a meme or two, and sometimes I'm in the mood to argue politics and/or religion. There's a great place for that here. It's free. https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/General-Discussion/5/ Huge forum, much bigger than this one likely will ever be, but it's somewhere I frequent that allows the shenanigans. They can afford to have members at odds with each other. Here, we can't. We're too small, too closely knit, and it's tearing this place apart. I ask for your understanding, that we all can tell @shadetree that he was right when he says "I TOLD YOU SO!" and that we can go back to fixing ATV's here.

My ATV was only running on 1 cylinder.. not sure why 🤣😂

Great help. I just took it to a shop where they can find out what’s up. I will let you know when I find out. Thanks again.

Welcome aboard. The good news is, your front driveshaft being out is likely most or all of your problem. The computer that shifts your transmission does so with input from the speed sensors. Both of your speed sensors are in the front diff, so the fact that you have your front driveshaft out means the rear speed sensor (in the back of the front diff) and your front speed sensor (in the front of the front diff) are recording different speeds. The computer isn't sure what to do with that info so you get no speed detection and no shifting. Put your front driveshaft back in and see what you get, and report back.

Amazon parts most likely =China garbage, which is going to make headaches for you- guaranteed if that TPS came on an Amazon carb that might be part of your issue Just out of curiosity, is your speed reading correct on the meter? -If not it, will go into limp mode I only asked because you said it was hard to see meter at times, you might want to open the speedo and make sure you dont have water damages in there- if you have flickering LEDs that is a sign for sure Keep us updated -AKATV

Welcome aboard. Does it drive in auto mode? You need a good strong battery on these for them to work right. If you have a good battery on the machine, try initializing the system. Machine in neutral Hold up and down shift buttons in and turn key to on position Hit up, down, up on the shift buttons, then open and close the throttle within 5 seconds. That should re-initialize all the computer crap. See if that changes anything.

So anyways, let me tell you about why our country is going to crap.... 😅

Not just me. I'm just the spokesperson. I have admittedly waffled quite a bit on the politics/no politics argument every time it's come up. But again, something has to give, or we're going to slowly die on the vine as people get mad and leave. I hope we don't lose any with this change. I hope that folks can go elsewhere to discuss such (which is what I do) and still contribute and help those who come here looking for it when fixing their Hondas.

I TOLD YOU SO !..ROFL..wayyy to funny jeep !. really though, that's not the words i wanted to be posting, i'd rather be saying..dang..we have grown so large through the years, helping folks that are broke , and could not afford to take their atv to a repair shop. let alone .most atv's older than 10 yrs old ?..THEY WON'T TOUCH !. sooo..in steps all of us..the guys that has a passion in wrenching. this is my back bone for the past 30 something years. i will stay here as long as i can, or i am kicked to the pasture..which ever one comes first ?..lol.

as always Jeep....you have my appreciation and support in your policies. thanks! Ed
