Fishfiles 20,147 Posted July 20, 2022 The mushrooms look yummy !!! That thread I linked is all about food , drinking beer and B.S.'in Is your foot shifter equally hard in both directions , or is it harder in reverse or harder in 1st ? Improper indexing of the clutch arm #10 can cause that Are you sure you have the #15 the ball retainer plate in the right way and not flipped over upside down and that the #12 spring in right place Not that I think your a wheelie kind of guy , Retro gave you the recipe for doing a wheelie --- just so you know , if you pull up on the footshifter with your foot and hold it up , rev the engine hard and let go of your foot while you are giving a jerk back on the handle bars and shifting your weight back , you might get them front wheels off the ground ---- don't think you going to be doing no wheelies anytime soon , but , it is a good thing to know , LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popa Fry 62 Posted July 20, 2022 i don't have a problem with the food always a good subject ....i must have missed something i didn't see link ???

First thing !! at 72 years old (heal slowly) and weighing in at about 250 ( I am not fat I am just a foot short ) and you are most correct i want to keep my ride in good condition for hunting and fishing and such . and you men will help me do just that.

Goober 1,555 Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) I like the Shindy rebuild kits but they don’t come with the starter jet passage plug. Shown in this picture by using the OEM parts finder at Rocky Mountain atv. you can get the starter jet passage plug by buying them separately in sets of 4 (Gold Wing carbs), buying a Honda gasket kit ($18), or buy a K&L carb rebuild kit. I recommend the K&L kit. also consider replacing the starter enrichment valve ($50) and the primer plunger ($65). i know this seems a bit much, but that’s the price for fooling around with a twenty year old lol Edited July 20, 2022 by Goober 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 7,719 Posted July 21, 2022 25 minutes ago, Popa Fry said: BUT WITH AGE COMES WISDOM ... That’s very true. At a very immature 47, I tried to mount my daughter’s boyfriend’s new 35” mud tires with my harbor freight tire changer. After 30 mins of fighting the first tire, I said “How about I get your tires mounted and balanced for you at the tire shop? It can be your birthday present.” At my age I’m still stupid enough/ not old enough to think “F all that, I’m no dummy. I’m paying someone to do that job” 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted July 21, 2022 Here’s a Shindy kit. When you rebuild the carb, inspect the passage plug. If it still sticks good in the passage maybe it’s ok https://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-TRX450ES-S-TRX-450-FOREMAN-CARBURETOR-CARB-REPAIR-REBUILD-KIT-1998-2003-/171520553464?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popa Fry 62 Posted July 21, 2022 i have one ordered should be here tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retro 4,071 Posted July 21, 2022 You'll need a good strong solvent to clear jets and passages in the carb - a can of Berryman B-12 chemtool carb cleaner works good if your local auto parts store stocks it. Be careful with the choke plunger when taking it out ya may be able to save it... may need a new choke cable though if it is sticking due to rusty cable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Popa Fry 62 Posted July 21, 2022 the choke cable appears to move the full travel ... when disconnected from the carb it moves freely ......... and i do feel i have found some new friends.. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
