Hello, been lurking for a while fixing some of my problems after reading others unfortunate issues. However I can’t find the answers I need. Back story I have a 03 Kodiak 450. A coworker was going to take it to the dump, he said it wouldn’t run. Some mice got in there while it was stored for a few years and chewed up the wire harness. All the wheels were locked up and he didnt want to mess with it. Not knowing if it would run, for a week or so I spliced most of the wires back together. Replaced all the brake calipers and rear brake cable and rebuilt the carb. So far I have put 30ish miles on the bike and seems to run decently. Now my questions. When I put it in gear and the display light showed it is in gear I have to bump the throttle to make it actually go into drive or reverse. It doesn’t slam In gear but kind acts if you let the clutch out to fast on a manual. Is that normal, seems it’s thinking about going In gear then it goes after tapping the throttle. 2nd question, when I use the diff. Lock it acts like it is in a limp mode just by accelerating the lest little bit. It starts to sputter and won’t allow it to have any power. It only does this with the diff lock on. 3rd. The display is stuck on KMH. How do I change it to MPH. I followed all the steps I saw on YouTube with no luck. When I got power to the display it was in MPH but it switched its self and now I can’t get it back. Next are the rear u-joint the same as the front u-joints. I have sprung a oil leak from the rear diff at the drive shaft and need to replace the seal. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for any help. I’m sure I will find more things in the future.

Hey all, just posting to introduce and get ball rolling on the required number of posts to download a freakin manual. Recently picked up an 86 LT230S for $800, runs OK and kids having some fun on it so far, but it needs some work. I did an oil and filter change, other than a rough idle it's not bad, ordered some new front tires as those are thrashed, and getting left rear looked at as it has a slow leak and was somehow mounted backwards! Not sure how that happens and nobody noticed. Anyway, yeah sure I'll be posting more specific questions as I get into it, hope to just have it solid enough for kids to rip around at grandpas.

Hello everyone. This is a Go Cart and not a typical "ATV" but it has an engine so I'm hoping someone can help me. It's a Helix FTX with a Manco 150cc engine. The engine will start and idle for awhile, but will not take even a small touch of throttle. Stalls. It seems to take throttle and rev up when you first start it cold, but in just a minute, it will not take any throttle. I've replaced the Fuel valve/Pump on the fuel tank with no joy. It's a nice little cart, but without a workable engine, it's a boat anchor. I'm not dumb when it comes to small engines, but this one has me stumped. I'm running out of options.
I'll mention that while it is idling, it will sort of "cough" every 6 or 8 seconds and then recover and idle again. Eventually one of those "coughs" causes it to stall. It will start back up pretty easily, but as I said, it absolutely will not take any throttle and then it will cough and stall a minute later. I thought it could be timing, but there is no "adjustment" for timing on this engine. I downloaded the user manual and it mentions nothing about timing and is pretty much useless as a service guide. It just shows the basics. I'm attaching the manual so you can get an idea of the machine I'm dealing with.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Don
