Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. 

After extensive wiring checks, ended up sending the PCM back to FS1 and they admitted they didn't program it right. They had it for 2 weeks. Installed again and the shifting problem was fixed. However, I was getting a misfire on #5 cylinder, lean O2 bank faults, and idle was low and erratic. Thought I got the misfire fixed with a plug change. Advice on the F150 forum pointed to possible clogged cats for the idle.

The pickup was drivable, in fact used it to tow my cargo trailer with 2500 lbs of wheelers in it. Did well on an 80 mile round trip. Hoped it would clear the cats out but instead the misfire fault came back. More troubleshooting found nothing. The manual said if the injector and plug are good (they are), a misfire with lean O2 symptoms means its a PCM problem. Arragh!

FS1 agreed and they have the PCM again. Hopefully, third time is the charm.

@SittyDown Just got the carb done. My wife found the float bowl gasket AFU. Was the source of my fuel vapor leak.

Yes, I sold the old one on ebay. While running, it made an internal chattering noise in the transmission area. It faded at higher RPM

Wow, nasty piston

@Brian Bertram great stuff. Last year I replaced the tranny in my 2001 with new built in 2012 and a new oil pump. I found these plastic pieces in the crank case and assumed it was bearing cage. What do you think it is? Never took the hondamatic apart because I wanted to leave it as is to sell.

Love the F4U

Power Sports Nation used to rebuild them but I don't see that on their website now. I sold my broken one to a guy on Ebay, he might be a rebuilder. However, don't go for a tranny yet. I replied to you in your other thread.

Down load your manual from this site and check for codes per chapter 23. And like Fish says, oil level is important and the oil needs to be clean.

Many things it could be. Check oil level to start with. Remember, it needs to be checked warm. Does your engine rev up when you have it in Drive? 

Go to the service manuals menu on top of the forum page and download your manual. Look for fault codes described in chapter 23.

Prince William Sound last Saturday. Biggest halibut is 85 pounds.

Got some cod and rock fish too

Post a pic of yours

Spendy little basstard. Can you see a number on yours?

Yeah, I get impatient some times too. Fortune favors the bold. Wow, sloppy on the gasket situation you found. Was it leaking?

Is it the screw or the locknut that is seized on the clutch adjuster? Suggest dousing it repeatedly with penetrant for a day. This wheeler sounds like it's been through !. Good job bringing her back to life.

Welcome. Where you hail from and what 4 wheeler(s) do you have? 

I have the same machine and other than needing to replace the hondamatic (very spendy) its been great. Did you download the manual from the top menu here? Clock the angle sensor right when you installed it? Did you perform the Initial Setting Procedure after changing the angle sensor? As stated earlier, oil level and cleanliness is very important on these wheelers.

So someone put a Honda sticker on it?

You find a manual for it?

Hmm, from what I understand the 420s began production in 2007. Can you post the VIN?

What year is it? And see if the manual is available for download. Check in Service Manuals in the top menu bar.

Nice, the hydraulic rear disc is the way to go. Even the cable operated disc is a marked improvement over the drum and easier to do. I need to do this on my Ruby. Was going to this winter but other projects demanded my time.

I don't see a manual for it it the gdrive. Anyone have one to upload?

Rear wheel cable operated drum brake? If so, about as useful as wet toilet paper. Suggest you open it up and see how corroded and gummed up it is.

Does any one know if super ATV has the disc mod for this model?

That's a rough one. Glad you stuck with it and reported back.

Never tried actually tried cooking meat in mine. Just pull it out in spring and smoke the left over fish from winter. There is an electric heater in it but that's just meant to keep things warm and perfect for cold smoked fish. 

I'll just throw meat on the fire pit in the backyard if I want to cook. Not fond of pig meat which I understand is best slow cooked.
