  1. i understand about age-vs cold i used to go deer hunting regardless of temp but now i prefer to get my deer early i still go out if it's not below 20 degrees....never been bear hunting when I was younger and only hunted with my bow I said I would do that some day just never got around to it ... we don't have bear in these parts.. I have never been to the upper peninsula and looking at a map you are at the top ... 797 miles north from my house in Kentucky according to Google.. Good luck with your hunting. We can hunt deer in September but i believe it is to HOT lol it's about meat spoiling.. some idiots believe they can kill a deer that time of year and then go show it to their buddies instead of skinning and quartering it or get it to a cooler ... sorry my rant!! Hey men look forward to hearing from all of you about Honda ATV"s - Food - [ Woxxx (to old for that besides my wife of 50 years might object ] May our trails be smooth and our hunts successful and Gods Blessings on us all !!!
  2. Hey Retro IT APEARS YOU ARE QUITE TALENTED INDIVIDUAL !!. The Honda Community applauds you. Thank You for all the Help I have received and the continued friendships I plan to Keep OK enough of that .. Oh I was wondering where you live I would think you have more opportunity to use a snowmobile than a 4 wheeler . I guess your a master at that too lol between Pints
  3. Located Central Kentucky I bought it out of a boys garage when i was asking everyone around if they knew if a Honda was for sale I had been looking on Craigs list and after i sold the Polaris I fixed up Carb-tires-stator -Cdi-coil--clean up paint racks ) i was wanting a Honda 400 -- came across the 300 and was told it just needs brake adjustment ( You men know the rest ) it was reasonable price not cheap --Long story short replaced rear axel and bearings brake drum-shoes -etc. ( I did not know you could ride one with the drum froze up) carb kit and [ VIOLA ] a decent ride starts and runs so good hate to get rid of it but don't have a place to store it and really don' NEED it Price goes up at hunting time LOL
  4. Great information but for now i don"t see it happening ..... have a nice 1999 300 4trax sitting here but with the 400 running it most likely will find a new home come hunting season.... That will help pay for the rebuild and getting the 400 going LOL You men enjoy i have a limited budget to go along with my conservative views .....the more i change add on and non stock items the more likely I will screw something up.. FOR ME I USE THE KISS principal !! KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID

First thing !! at 72 years old (heal slowly) and weighing in at about 250 ( I am not fat I am just a foot short ) and you are most correct i want to keep my ride in good condition for hunting and fishing and such . and you men will help me do just that.

  16. it is a Shindy as you recommended .. thanks for the clutch check and yes i will make sure their are no pets or small children in the area also can...ok i could not wait !! I found a safe place and did the following stoped the ATV shifted into reverse to check it working back to neutral then to firsr normal and everything worked returnned to neutral I lifted the shifter like normal maybe a bit slower and the neutral light went out and I could feel the gear chane as i held the shifter completly up there was NO movement I reved the engine and there was NOT any movement until i releasde the shifter and it moved forward like it should I AHD TO KNOW that is a simple and effective test...
  17. i never realized that such a small change in RPM could make that much difference !!
  18. thanks men i have been riding iy as much as possible in and out of reverse first to nuteral and then theu all gears both slow and med hich speeds. i believe you men are correct on several counts but as i ride and it is better i think my problem is in the carburatoe and idol speed today it slowed down and all gear changes immediately improved i am sure that several of you have told me that before and I will know better when i rebuild the carb with the new kit THANK YOU SO MUCH and even if it don't have a pinched plate i learned so valuable information i am forever grateful to everyone that has helped me but if the carb fixes it i am going to miss you guys.. maybe i need to follow others and see if i might be able to help I am fairly well familiar with a 400fw foreman from top to bottom lol
  19. ...when handling the clutch upon removal the disc tried to come out i realigned the one disc plate into the clutch and it went back together ... i did not completely dissemble the clutch, if i can pinch one it is the first one on the clutch i suppose that is possible ...what is the cure ???
  20. will using it get the disc to separate themselves after getting the oil and heat from use ??
  21. i did not disassemble the change disc i am not sure about prior problem i bought it with a bad motor was not my machine.. i will admit some of the disc tried to come out but i was careful to align them back correctly if they were no aligned would you be able to assemble the motor??? the clutch was never completely dissembled just maybe the first one or two elements.
  22. when it goes in gear it slows some but not much the change is what i would call normal in gear it is under a load therefore it slows somewhat. Just out riding some more making a lot of gear changes up and down it does seem to change better to more i ride it it was not running for about a year after the motor went south from no oil. it is just when i change into first it jumps and even some into upper gears at slow speeds ..higher speed everything gets bettet it appears. I think it is still a work in progress and some time spent using it might smooth everything out ( except the carb and i get another kit tomorrow and will put on my new
