Goober

Holy cow thanks. Got it

That’s a thrust washer.

Could be from a couple places.

did you pull the starter gears out? Got them handy? Sometimes the starter gear set has one

dang looks good Goober. I am looking at getting a KFI mounting bracket and a badlands 2500 or 3500 lb winch. I think I will mount my wires in the back like you did

heck yeah start a thread when you’re ready and I’ll add measurements in along comments.

KFI plate good, but If i had a do over I would use the Warn winch not KFI. IDK about Badlands but the freewheel select knob in the Warn doesn’t stick out like the selector on the KFI. The KFI selector (when in freewheeled position) touches the bottom surface of the fender

Thinking of putting a winch on my 300 fourtrax

Here’s how i did my 93

I have a 1000lbs trailer for my diesel Mule.

it has a 2 inch receiver hitch at the front of the bed—it accepts a removable towbar. 
since the towbar is too short to allow me to turn the Mule with only the towbar attached, i bought a towbar extension.

hopefully this will help you decide

Well I just spent a little time with my 88 350d in the garage today.  It has been out of commission for a couple months.  It lost spark.  It ended up being the ignition coil.  I ended up getting an NGK replacement for it.  It had a cheap aftermarket pump on it when I bought it.  So today while getting it fired back up I noticed this one is on it's way out.  So I gonna go ahead and order the oem fuel pump for it.  My exhaust had holes in it as well.  I put Jb weld on it did ok but noticed today I have a good size exhaust leak so I'm gonna take it off and try to weld it this time around.  I have a spare cobra exhaust but it's a little too loud for my liking.   My plans are to get the floorboards installed and add a new front bumper with a winch plate.  I think I'm gonna install a 2500# winch on it.  

@superrman77i have an OEM exhaust on 1 86 and Cobra on the other. I can’t tell the difference in sound. The Cobra is a glass-pack Have you replaced the packing?

try that—remove the screw holding the baffle and slide it out—my guess is packing is loose or gone

is there an ecopy of the service manual for 2013 TRX500FPE?

gonna show my friend how to service his  i bought a paper manual cuz i prefer them.

I have one looks just like that—a mitsuba sm-8. I took it to a battery/starter shop and had the armature “lathed.” It turns backward now. I’ve heard the polarity of the magnets can be changed but i have to wonder if I’m not assembling correctly

So how long are you actually leaving them in the oven for? Do you put them straight on the rack?

Somebody told me they did it for two hours and it worked; i figure three hours for complete heating ought to be the minimum and can’t think of a good reason to go longer than that. You’re only trying to drive off excess humidity that might affect circuit performance. Besides if you leave it in there too long, you’ll forget about it and someone will smoke check it when they try baking a meat loaf or some other hot dish.😂

would be good to put them on a layered piece of foil — protect those wires.

Thanks for inviting me to this new site. I have been addicted to the Fourtrax Honda TRX350A for about 10 years. I’ve also resurrected a TRX300FW, which was a great pleasure and success. Diehard stocker; i stick with OEM parts and configurations. 

Quite a bit of experience in electro-mechanical but no expert. I can do a little bit of everything except weld; never done that. Never disassembled an engine; maybe my next project. So I’ll be interested in seeing projects by other members, particularly engine and electrical repairs.
 

i always have something cooking or brewing; got a little grill/smoker library and brew/keg my own beer. I hunt, fish, love my family and give thanks for my condition.

Like the title says.  I need a Fan Control Unit for a 1988 Honda Foreman 350d.  1988 and 1989 are the only compatible years.  Thanks 

try reviving your old one by drying it out in an oven—like you’re making jerky. I’ve revived two FCU and a CDI this way and heard of several others having success. You can make this FCU your spare if you want.

Oven should be 200F or less; drying time at least 3 hours; let cool completely before reinstalling. Because you have exposed wires on this module, try and protect those wires from direct contact with oven rack.
