That’s great. Hopefully this is the last bit of what needs to be done and you can get some riding in ! 

Ya, the thing fires up with just a touch of the button! 

I'm nursing a bum leg that I messed up a couple weeks ago. About 5 of my buddies went riding today, but, I gotta pass until the leg is %100. The weather is freaking perfect too! 😧

Holy crap. The the engine come to an abrupt stop or back fire at all ?

It just stopped. I got it back together and fired it up. I had a dirt bike that did  that outta the blue. I fixed it then it did it again in short order. My buddy suggested to put valve grinding compound on the crankshaft and put the flywheel on and spin it, spin it........ so I did that and it's been good ever since. So, I did the same thing on the 400. We'll see how it goes!

The flywheel is supposed to be installed clean and dry - looks like the taper was greased or smeared with anti-seize - the key does not hold the flywheel - the key is to align the flywheel to the crankshaft so it is in time - it is the taper that locks the flywheel to the crank - if you don't get the flywheel properly torqued, it will shear the key in a short time.

      I have a 2016 Arctic Cat 500 and recently noticed some oil leaking on the engine block to the right of the oil filter. It's near two metal lines going in and out of the engine block. I think one of the lines is called an engine oil line. I have a photo I'm going to try and attach. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to start tearing into the engine if I don't have to. I think maybe a gasket or something blew around one of these lines. The ATV runs fine otherwise. Doesn't overheat or anything.

      Hey all,
      I need some input on a problem I'm having with my Kodiak 400 that keeps fouling plugs. First off, I've done a lot of work to this thing, most of it all in good fun. Brake work, cv joints, u joints, carb kit, checked valve lash, compression good, changed all fluids, etc... My problem is it keeps fouling plugs very quickly. I can put a new (manual recommended plug) in and it starts right up, runs great, idles great, picks up good. Doesn't stutter at all. I ride it for 1/2 a mile, it cuts off and won't start back up. I let it sit overnight thinking maybe it got to hot. Try to start it the next day, nothing. Put a new plug in, fires right up, runs great for another 1/2 mile or so, dead. The plugs come out and look carbon fouled with dry black soot on them. I don't know if this is a fuel/air mixture problem or a ignition problem. A couple of things that I noticed is I never need to pull the choke out to start it. Also, when it starts it automatically idles high like an automatic choke would do, then it comes back down to a good idle. Also I noticed that the air/fuel mixture needle valve screw does nothing when I adjust it in or out. I can screw it all the way closed and the motor still runs and idles good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost leaning to a ignition breaking down the plugs??
      Thanks!
