Sounds like timing chain jumped.....Id pull the head and see whats up before ordering too many parts.

Sold for $1200....WOW!!

Pull the starter gear cover and check to make sure the teeth on the gears are there. Some of them would break a tooth and make a bad noise

I have a 7500W Generac portable genset. 30Amp twistlock connector tied in to the house panel. I have to cut the main power and then turn the generator breakers on and plug unit in. I have gas stove and plenty of grills outside. The 7kw will run most anything in the house except AC and heat. Water heater and drier run fine except not at same time. At night I have a 2kw Honda inverter gen that we will run a drop cord into the house for fridge and a couple fans if summer and fireplace blower if winter. It will run most of the night on 1G fuel.

It sure sounds like you have a non wet clutch compatible oil to me.....

I use one, It works wonderfully. I personally use simple green diluted in mine. It foams up and cuts the mud off easily.

These are just some of the ones I’ve owned, lol

yeah, i agree that's wi ked looking with those plastics. are these wheels kinda like the one posted a while back ? I'd jack this up more in the front. 

That bike was built and is owned by my buddy. 

My 85’ 250sx that is getting a timing chain this weekend,

My “Albino” 250ES

My 1984 ATC110 that my grandpa bought brand new. Still cranks first pull.

Bought the little walk behind lift from a closing down factory for $300, it now has long forks and a platform that will raise a full size foreman lengthways for me to work on. 
 

Then I have my work forklift with the pioneer on it changing tires.

The big lift at my shop with the boom pole is useful for unloading all my junk

I'm here, work has been crazy for last few months. Worked on the Big (White) Red build a little. Like Fishfiles said I bought back my old built 300 mud bike and will be working on it soon. Also piecing back together a parts bike 300 4x4, I always said I had enough parts to build another bike and finally took the challenge. Have it almost a rolling chassis.

Commercial Kitchen Fire suppression systems, paint booths, fire extinguishers and emergency lighting. Family business going on 16 years this year. At this point I’ve been doing it over 1/2 my lifetime full time.

Jeep, I use a tiny carbide burr on a dremel and "score" the wire then you can get a better bite to spin it around. I also fill hole with brakecleaner and use compressed air to blow through and try and get the crap out then pb blaster to lube the wire.

I bet you know already , that tail light lens by it's self is still available from Honda and only $11, and the assembly NLA  only fits 85-87 ATC250ES ---- I re-learned a lesson here , Hoard Everything , you never know , I had a ATC250ES that I bought for the rear end  a few years back , the bike was in bad shape , the rear fenders  all cracked up , the tail light lens broke off , but the base was still there , I throw it away thinking I would never use it ---- I just texted the guy I got that bike from as he had a bunch ATCs  in his yard , let you know if he has one 

Thanks Fish, if he has the bases, rubber grommets and brackets I can buy the bulbs and lenses from Honda.

There’s already a 2.5” spacer on the rears Fish. I’m thinking I’d need a 3.5-4 to make it look like I want to with those flares on it. Future plans are

a set of 29.5 or 31 outlaw wides. With the side lug they have I think I’d be ok with the flares.

Trying to figure what to do with the tail lights now. I didn’t have any in the other fenders and people are proud of them on eBay.

LEDs will be nice ----  some black rubber rear fender flares might kick it up a notch , looks like there is a lip on the edge , might be able to take a clipping from some 300 early model smooth flares ---- I am jealous !!!! 

 

What you think about them hand guards , in white of course 

Id like to find a set of the metal tubing hand guards but haven’t been able to find any for sale yet. I got the maier flares that go on these fenders but the tire doesn’t stick far enough out for me to want to put them on. Probably need a 3.5” spacer to make it look right. Going to leave them off for now till I look at it a while, lol

Looking  real good !!!  Like the tires and rims ----  Are floorboards in the future , I think they would look good , maybe some custom ones --- you got the light for the front , I have some 85-87 TRX250 Fourtrax lights might work , removable to work like a hand held ,  would be a pass it forward kind of thing 

I’m working on a custom plate to mount 2 7” led bars in that headlight cage. Have a set of trx300 floorboards in the shop, have thought about trying those but will probably end up getting my buddy to fab some for me.

28x11x14 Zillas all around on MSA Diesels. 2.5” spaced in the back. Also put new 250SX shock boots to cover the extended forks up. Got new fenders on and getting paint mixed to paint tank and forks tomorrow. Body shop buddy of mine is going to shoot the tank and forks for me.

Deleted the front brake, don’t see the need for it on a slow moving mud/yard bike and it looks better to me. Needed a spacer to take up the space where backing plate was, determined that the sleeve was steel inside an aluminum housing, took it to the press and pressed the sleeve out.

Neutral light mod was a sweet thing  , a neutral light is something I have seen in a long while ---- where's the pics ,  LOL  

I'll get pics this afternoon when I put the tires back on. I totally forgot to take a pic of the installed reduction before I put the side cover on, LOL

18% GR installed this weekend, was able to modify the cup to keep the neutral light functional. Sanded racks down and painted with bedliner spray. Tires being mounted today, 28x11x14 Zillas on MSA Diesels.

Are you going to use the springs that came with the EBC clutch kit , I am sorry I used the HD springs  in my 450 , although the springs might make the clutch grab better , it is a lot harder to shift on my foot , I have the same clutch in my other 450 with the stock springs and it shifts so much easier , it tells you on back the EBC package , " if you don't like the shifting to disassemble and change springs back to stock " , just a thought to ponder 

I’m going to use the stock springs. I don’t think I’ll need the stiffer springs for just a 18%

Out with the stock gears and in with the new. Custom no weld Reduction Boss 18% and EBC clutch kit going in.

I've been thinking about a 15% secondary for my 06 Foreman that has 28's on it.  $450 is some coin though.......

 

When the guys pop up on bookface and say "muh Honda rancher turns 30's grate with no GR" I have to laugh. 

 

People wouldn't be paying $$$ for GR's if these machines were capable of that in stock form.

They May be turning 30’s on flat ground. But this bike is getting 28” OL2 for now and probably step up to 31’s when I can find a deal on them. Reduction Boss quality is great and he’s down the road from me so the money is well spent I think.

Took a drive down to see my buddy, he makes the best Honda gear reductions I think in the US. Reduction Boss Machining. He’s doing some neat stuff, one piece solid primary’s and cutting gears from new stock not using used factory gears like all the other builders. 
 

Picked up a 40% for my 420 rancher build and picked up a 30% for my buddies 350 rancher he’s building.
