This didn't have an airbox when you got it right? Any way to see if it was outfitted with a snorkel?

@Fishfiles has talked about a bypass harness for ES problems and I think someone on here has put one on. Ypu don't have to remove anything just connect the harness in and depending on your issues I believe it allows you to use the ES functions. Maybe someone can chime in for more info.
And by the way welcome to our forum, there are a ton of 450's here so help will be around....

WM, the blueish is definitely the mix, any idea how much 2 cycle oil you added for 2 1/2 gallons? Should tell on the oil bottle how much to add and usually have a site window to see the amount. Next time I will drive down to make sure you do it correctly....lol

Jeep getting retro to pony up what he has put in would be like pulling teeth, so no sense in even asking. You do need to make a post every month to say where we are at for expenses, otherwise the rest of us have no clue. And with the members that we have I hope we will never be in the hole as long as we know where we stand for money. I tip my hat to you, @toodeep, and @retro for taking care of this forum and keeping us on the straight and narrow, thanks a bunch....

I am so grateful to have a group of friends here even tho I have not met anyone in person. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers, I have been surrounded by family and friends and of course my church family. It gives me hope that I believe what lies ahead for us will make this life seem unimportant. Coming here has kept my mind off the sad things so I'm trying to stay busy. Our son and 2 grandsons live across the road so we are with each other alot. Again God bless my Honda friends.....

1 hour ago, WonderMonkey said:I think it was chat. He was in there chatting with me and then was gone. Right before he made this post. He couldn't have left suddenly because of ME, right?
Right?
Fellas?
Yes he disappears quite often in chat, I know there have been times in the past where there were disconnects but I haven't seen that on my end at all lately.
He shouldnt be scared of you wm he supposedly is 6'8", but you know the bigger they are the harder they fall....

Thank you for your thoughts. At this time only thing you can do is pray for our family for comfort and healing.....

I have to let my friends here know I lost my wonderful wife this morning. She has not been feeling well for a couple weeks but was not a doctor person. She was ok this morning but when I checked on her around 10 she was unresponsive. I called 911 and started CPR, they were here for 45 minutes and did revive her but she passed on the trip to the hospital. I might not be aroud for a couple days so thought I would let everyone know why. Hope your days are better than mine today......

Hey Jay glad to see you, yep there are many 450's here and as said alot of them ES models. So there are lots of discussions concerning maintenance on them if you need any.

Looks like a side business in the making...looks really good wheeler.

Just now, RubiDan said:Be very careful with that one Fish. I've got a dead ash that's about 20" wide at waist height that I'll cut soon. I'm going to chain it and use a little pull pressure on it. I can always pull it more after making my cuts if needed. I'm going to notch it and then do a plunge cut close but not to the notch and then saw back over to the other side without the notch. I'll leave a small section of that for a trigger. I'll then cut the trigger from the outside. This is to reduce the chance of it barber chairing. I've done this before on leaners and it works very well. Watch out for falling dead limbs.
Rubi, be very careful cutting the dead ash, many times they don't end up falling like you anticipate. Some are pretty rotten at the base and who knows how far up and have known to "barber chair" or just break off after the notch. With a chain or rope to guide it should help but keep your eyes and ears ready......

Jeep I can vouch for the DID chains for the 450. When I was rebuilding mine 2 years ago shade told me to get that one instead of OEM, first of all cheaper and second just as good for long term life. So yes I would tell ya to go that route....

6 hours ago, _Wilson_™ said:I know ownership has changed awhile ago but honestly I'm not aware who owns it now. But it would not surprise me if it was VS.....
The website says it's owned by Johnson Management Inc. a Colorado corporation. So is this a side corp for VS? Don't know....

Hey N8, glad you found this site, we do have alot of helpers here to give advise, especially on the older models like you have. Hope you found the service manual link for your 400.....we do have a chat area we discuss all sorts of topics, usually evenings. The link to that is also in the top of the main page....
