Je4ester 0 Posted April 5, 2021 I bought a used 2010 MUV-700 that was not running when I bought it. The spark plug was broken and the gas was bad. I replaced the gas, coil and plug and it runs fine but smokes when I give it gas. Once it warms up it smokes less but I want to do a top end job on it . My question is can this be done with the engine still in frame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,725 Posted April 5, 2021 Yes, the top end can rebuilt (even removing the front cover if the cam chain needs replaced) while the motor is in the frame. The factory snorkel/air intake was under the passenger seat on these so they was bad for getting dust into the system unless the air filter was properly maintained. If it hasn't been done, snorkel it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They suck that bad. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
