You have to have the barn set up before you get into all of that. Tools cleaned up etc, a work area and a beer fridge! 🍺

Indeed and I've a wood stove to install. Yahoo!!!! We are starting to get an occasional warm day. I'm ready to get 4wheeling, cant convince the lawnmower to get the job done. Its stuck in a little bit of snow. Jeez

[Frank Angerano]

Love the dog!!!! And a wood stove is key!!

RM Stator will rebuild/repair stators, too.  Good to know.

[Frank Angerano]

Yes they do. I am impressed so far with the quality.  Flywheel puller showed up today so i might get onto it tonight, lets see. 
 

[Frank Angerano]

Ok so new flywheel is in and she fired right up.  Huge difference, i can get to just about 80% throttle without any backfiring.
The carburetor is still in need of tweaking but i think the problem is solved. 

Unreal that something like this can happen.  What baffles me the most is the magnets on the old flywheel are solidly in place but yet they are incorrectly placed??? I tried to pry them off the flywheel with no luck.   So strange! 
 

Going to get after the carburetor tomorrow and take it for a spin before i put it all back together. 
 

Keep ya posted.....

Yes! This was a real PITA! But all good. 

[Jim Denton]

So patience and perseverance are better than a bfh sometimes? Dang. Glad you got her going Frank.

@Frank AngeranoWhat are the chances that the glue turned loose from engine heat and then restuck when it cooled off?  Looking at those magnets better, I'm almost positive they bunched together with glue in a liquid state due to centrifugal force.

Either way, that's a first for me.  Seen em cracked, falling apart in pieces, missing chunks, turned completely loose.  But never bunched up like that.

Good Job Frank, nice to see this topic from start to finish. 

[Frank Angerano]

@MarkinAR i am completely baffled. Based on what i have found and what i have replaced makes perfect but no sense at all. There is no way this engine could have ran properly the way it was.  So anyway im going to write this off as an unexplained yet obvious solution based problem. @northernmi thanks pal.  It all worked out in the end.  Now i have the task of re assembling the rest of the atv and i hate that part.  
 

But thanks to all that commented, we are on the uptick!! 
 

Pics to follow.

Great looking eiger. Makes me wish I Kept mine. It amazes me how some quads can look so amazing and thing like that happen to them. I had a vinson 500 that looked mint and when I was looking through it before trying to by it, it looked like a rat or something that chewed up some wires, the owner said it still runs great and it tried to start it and i informed if that would not probably be a good idea but he did. after that, I learned how careful one has to be when it comes to the electrical part on atvs. The wires of course shorted out and caused a small fire. In all, glad you were able to get your eiger fixed. You will enjoy that machine.

Thanks @Travis Pal, this was a real challenge finding the gremlin.  I however will not get to enjoy this one.  Once its all back together it will go to its new owner in Connecticut!
