I am rebuilding a 1990 honda four trax they were so reliable but here in Alabama its very hot in the summer time, being a air cooled engine I have considered adding a cooling fan for the engine and I have plenty of room for it but my question is will that overload the generator and battery on it. Maybe someone out there can answer that

Before quads went watercooled,some had oil cooling,a remote "radiator" hooked to the oil system.Worked well overall,but not for the high speed and guys that hammer stuff.Hondas seemed to be the worse for cooling.Search youtube,there are several good conversions for putting oil coolers on older hondas.

You can get a Noctua IndustrialPPC NF-A14, takes 0,55A 12V , its a computerfan with 6 year warranty. But it takes some work to protect it if you are riding alot of offroading. I have a honda 300 trx and its getting very hot when im driving slow in the terrain, just hooked a fan up in zipties to try it out and is "seems" to work. Dont have any tempgauges on it so i really dont know how much difference it makes.

i took it off after a while because i dont do offroading so much in 1st gear.

      I have owned my 84 Honda 200m for years now and I am wanting to see what i could do to upgrade horsepower , speed , performance , power etc and do it safely and not cause future harm to the engine.
      I was thinking on getting a 200x piston, will this work and give a good power increase ?  I have heard people have done this in the past and it works great. and i was also thinking on a 200x cam , will the 200x cam fit in this engine and make a difference also does it require the upgrading of any other parts and will i have to run 91 octane instead of 87 ? has anybody run this setup before and got good results ?
      I was also gonna go with a 200x carb but not sure if i have to buy an intake to hook it up or will it just bolt onto the 200m intake and fit fine ?
      If anyone has any suggestions and advice on what i could do it would be greatly appreciated ! thanks in advance.

      I been working on this thing for like 2 months now and it will not run right, is very smokey, and has a pretty loud tap that i think is in the bottom end. Not sure how much the parts are but i will put the time into it if they are pretty cheap. Im not very experienced but going off how the plug looks and the oil on top of the piston i am getting a whole lot of oil coming in from somewhere, not sure if it can come from the valves or if the rings are just shot, my cheap scope cant really see the walls of the cylinder too well.

      on my left brake handle (for the rear brakes) there's two wires attached to it. What are these wires for? They can't be for the tail light, since it only has on filament  I tried to trace them, but i got lost in the harness. I checked wiring schematics, but didn't see anything like that.
      I'll post a pic later.

      Just aquired this Honda 4514. I had heard of them and seen them but had never really looked at one. Amazing machine from the 90s.
      It has a 14 HP inline 2 cylinder engine. A cute little fan like the old school cars had and a little radiator. It has a timing belt on the back of the engine running the cam and a water pump. Just like a miniature car engine with  electronic clutches to turn blades on and off. Pretty hight tech for the 90s not a small thing and built like a tank weighs in at 600 pds hydrostatic trans. I have found out that almost anything you have to do to it the engine has to come out starter timing belt water pump. Very expensive parts i think most got junked for that reason, i did find out they were built by John Deere except for the honda engine.
      Does anyone here have any expierience with these.

      I've been using Valvolene 10w 40 ATV oil but, it's like $8.00 a quart. Is that about the going rate? Or is there cheaper alternatives that would be suitable? Thanks
