i can't really tell.... could be lifted, but those (some) have adjustable shocks, at least mine does, (they all might be adjustable ? )  do you still have the oem tool kit ? 

 

@shadetree are all the oem shocks adjustable ?

I like the chat . I left Facebook due to mental health issues so my social life is fairly well nonexistent 😂. And I get bored sitting at home waiting for the atv to be home , my parents live on a big farm so I have it out there and I can go for a 2-3 drive just on the service trails windmill paths . They also have a pilot program where you can use them on low traffic roads and that’s great because we’re 15-20 minutes from the nearest town . A two minute drive leads you to a good old dirt road then there’s about 30 minutes stretch that you are lucky to see a single car .

Thats super @Jaredmacneill, I also live in rural areas and can just head out on the dirt side roads with no problems.  Don't be shy coming back to chat, some are usually there most evenings....

I probably will join tomorrow. My life here is pretty dull. There’s only a handful I visited and ones never home , another is moving to another town , my uncle and wife are in their summer home and well the last one they are always screaming at each other and my folks are gone visiting family in Nova Scotia. Well dad’s here still but he’s busy farming and doesn’t like to take vacation. He’s normally to he has to take it and ends up working on the farm for his uncle because he can’t stay still

I couldn’t see your left side case very well but if yours is also an early 86 engine—then your starter should fit on this replacement.

also your blown up engine can be a parts donor. Keep all the parts it’s not junk.

like Shadetree said you can’t buy this stuff anymore

Yeah I was thinking it would be good for parts . And I decided to leave the engine detail to Rodney who’s working on the Honda . He’s going to check it out and what not

I tried the engine to see what the compression was like and wow . I really have to put my weight into kicking the engine over.

there’s a cable-actuated and synchronized compression release on this engine 

if cable not hooked up you might experience difficulties kicking it over

My other one you could legit push with your hand on the kick start . So there’s definitely a difference

sounds like maybe it's out adjustment or not hooked up, there's a lever on the top right hand side of the head that should move when you use the kicker.

if the cable is out of adjustment ?, or not on it ?, the lever wont move.
