You can run 27s x12s in the rear and 10s in the front without a reduction , no problems

My 450's jug has been over-sleeved and runs a custom 500 piston , then it runs a 400 head on top for more compression , HMF muffler, Dyna-Jet jets

G+H Discount ATV does a great job and their price is right ---- but , I think you said the jug has been changed before to likely China stuff , I wouldn't want a China jug or pay to have a China jug bored , I would ask G+H if they have a OEM jug they could sell you and bore that one , or buy a used OEM jug from PowerSportsNation and have that one bored

In this pic you can see the black block off plate on the rear of the SuperATV caliper , I had to get that plate and do some grinding on it to fit over the hole where the brake cable an adjuster went to , never did find one that fit without working it ----- the port for the hydraulics was on the caliper , I made my own brake hoses with hose and banjo fittings called Fragola ----- as far as what it cost , pretty good , I'd guess back and front and hydraulic conversion at least $750 ------ $400+ for the front an rear kits , two used masters about $80 , external master cylinder reservoir for the foot brake with all new fittings and hoses were a couple of hundred , something I had from other atvs , the tee is a TRX250 Fourtrax ------ you really don't need a foot brake , the hand lever is all you need ----

I just went back and looked ,I used a 2007 Yamaha 700 Grizzly ESP , got it from Power Sports Nation , the pics of the hand brake above didn't materialize Here the link to the 2000 450 build , around page 40 , I found brake info https://www.hondaatvforums.net/threads/2000-trx450fm-build-mods.123454/

so I went for the hydraulic left brake lever assembly , got it fromPower Sports Nation , used a 07 Yamaha Grizzly 700 ESP master assembly , had to cut that aluminum colored eye off in the second pic as it hit the light switch , drill the winch controller bracket hole bigger , the reverse lock out cable is just a little too big of a end to fit , so reverse lock out is going to happen there , the plumbing is going to be sweet , the hand guard might not work out , if not then I will have t just take the one off the other side , also the Yammy is an aluminum lever and the Honda black , but all in all it will work there is also a micro switch on the lever , so I could tie that into a start lock out until the lever is pulled , safety switch Attachments IMG_7964.JPG 2.4 MBViews: 211

Hi Jstatham , I have some build threads on the subject , maybe here , but definitly on HondaATV , I used the SuperATV rear caliper that came with the kit , had to get a block off plate to cover the cable adjuster when going to hydraulics , used a Yamaha Kodiac 700 hand brake , the end of the reverse lock out cable was not the same on the Kodiak , I just by-passed reverse lock out instead of dealing with the cable, the rear brake foot is also tee'ed into the the rear brake with a Hnda 1000 Gold Wing foot master cylinder -------- my atv in the pics is a 2000 450 , the rear end is the same , some have a bolt on trailer hitch after 2002 -2004 but they will interchange parts with the 400

If the bowl is " junky " , the junk has to be coming from the tank , to clean the carb is a waste of time , if you don't clean the tank if the carb was dirty , cause the junk is going to go right back in carb

The vent hose on bottom on the bottom of the carb is the over flow tube , your float / needle valve is sticking or the tank is crudey and specks of rust or dirt is getting in the needle valve causing it to leak

My first guess would be a diaphragm problem , crack or hole in it , misaligned under cover and not sealing , vacuum port to it clogged

John5 can jam ---- At the 8:00 he starts a tatsey jam

I don't know snow , but could relate to how this could be bad
