Hi all, my 350 starts missing pretty badly after about an hour of pulling my mower and will quit then restart after about 5 min sitting but still misses, overheating ?? I have done a MOD on the fan so now it runs continuous Any ideas are welcomed

Normally the first thing would be a standard tune..  Spark-plug, air-filter, valve adjustment, check for air-leaks at the manifold, check the tank breather, drain the carb looking for water and fuel flow, adjust the idle speed and mixture.

If it's just conking out when you throttle off, a tune might be all it is.

If it's faltering while you still have the throttle on, and you have a timing light, you could put that on and check the spark isn't failing once it's hot. If the spark is getting intermittent then that needs diagnosing. If the spark seems to be fine, and the plug is new, then it would be worth taking the carb off and cleaning it.

      1998 Polaris Magnum 425 starts but dies right away.
      By BillR94
      I picked up this ATV that had no spark. The previous owner said he was driving it and it died and would not start. He discovered it had no spark. He replaced the CDI and the coil with no luck. He got tired of it and I bought it. I replaced the stater and now it has strong spark. Now, it starts for a second or two then dies. It will not stay running. I have checked the timing and it is spot on. The valves are adjusted correctly. I see no warn issues with the cam. I put the original CDI and coil back on it. Same problem exists. Compression is at 65 psi (has decompression mechanism),
      I took off the muffler in case the issue was clogged pipes. No change. I replaced the spark plug. No change. The carb was an aftermarket so I put a Niche carb on with no change. I bypassed the fuel pump and that did nothing to solve the problem. 
      I don't know if this is a carb issue or an ignition issue. I am looking around locally for an OEM carb to try out but not sure that will fix the problem. 
      Can anyone help me solve this problem. I am running out of ideas. 
      Thank you for your time

      2006 Eiger LT-F400F will not go into gear after generator cocer replacement
      By middlebrookgt
      Hi All.  I introduced myself some weeks ago with my 2006 LT-F400F that needed a list of repairs including replacing the cracked generator cover.  It is back together as of last night and cranks up, idles and revs high pretty well.  Needs some fine tuning and stop backfiring at stop.
      The big issue is it will not go into gear.  I reassembled the insides with help from y’all’s posts.  The transfer selector moves from H-L-R, and the foot shifter moves thru the gears and finds neutral easily enough.  Before I tear it back open, the  transfer selector on top does not move as far as the repair manual says.  The diagram shows the shaft moving something like 40 degrees between L and H and 50+ degrees between L and R but it doesn’t move that far even though it finds the indent areas and moves well.  
      Could this be the problem.  I aligned all the dots on the shifter gears inside and it appeared to not be binding anywhere.  I do hear the gears touching when I shift like they are trying to engage, but zero movement from the ARV
      It was somewhat difficult to tell whether all the parts are installed on each shaft.
      Are there better/bigger photos somewhere that would allow me to be confident I included all the washers and bushings, etc?  If I had any doubt on parts that were laying inside after the cover broke then I purchased replacements from online stores.
      TIA for any input or feedback!!  Pics are from when I first took the generator cover off.

      2007 Hond fore 500 4x4 es trouble after top end rebuild
      By Ejwill
      I rebuilt the top end on my 2007 Honda Trx500fe. It ran fine right after the rebuilt. But now when I try to crank it it blows Bach through the carburetor. I held my hand over the opening for the intake air and it blew gas back on my hand. Can figure out what happened all of a sudden. It was cranking and was able to ride it running through all the gears. Now can get it to crank just blowing gas back to the air filter. Need help again. Starting to think I should have walked away from this one.

      Can Am Commander Overheating Issue Solved
      By BruinBeater
      Got asked to take a look at a 2014 Can Am Commander 1000 for an overheating issue.  Owner says he's been having issues for awhile.  Had another guy put a new electric fan on it and its still overheating.
      I take it for a test drive.  1 mile on asphalt and temp gauge is pegged and machine is telling me its overheating.
      Looking at it in the garage and I see, it low on coolant.  As in, the overflow tank is empty.  Can't see it in the radiator.  Not sure how far down it is.
      Took out the seat, and center console. I see coolant on top of both cylinders.  Its leaking a tiny bit from each coolant outlet on top of the cylinders.  They are plastic with a metal bleeder screw.  Both leaking from the bleeder screw.  Tried to tighten them but I can tell they are stripped out.
      Bought some aftermarket coolant outlets from Quad Logic.  They came with a new bleeder screw and crush washer for the screw.  They did not come with a new gasket.  
      Bought a new OEM thermostat.  Did it really need one?  I'm not sure, I didn't bother to test it.  Its not a cheap part but not terribly expensive either.  These commanders are a pain to bleed all the air out of the cooling system, I only wanted to do it once.
      Remove the plastic screen from the firewall so I can access the thermostat.  Cut all the old hose clamps off (OEM Crimps) Replace the T-stat.  Install new hose clamps.  Install new coolant outlets on top of both cylinders. 
      Now its time to bleed the system.  I have a "NO SPILL FUNNEL"  Remove the radiator cap and attach this in its place.  Fill the funnel up about half way and let it sit for awhile with the bleed screws open.  Once I see fluid out the bleeders, I close them.  Squeeze the hoses a bit and watch the air bubble come up into the funnel.  Once the system is full, I drive it to a hill in the yard and put 1 car ramp in the middle of the hill.  I drive up the car ramp with the left/drivers side tire.  This puts the radiator cap up nice and high.  Let the engine run for as long as it takes to get the air out.  I keep the full at least 1/3 full.  I rev the engine to 4K rpm.  I jump out and squeeze the upper rad hose, the lower rad hose, and both lines to the cab heater (aftermaket) I keep doing this till I no longer see air.  I also crack the bleed screws loose on top of the heads during this time.  The fan cycled on and off multiple times. It took approximately 45 minutes till no more bubbles were coming up into the funnel.
      Remove the no spill funnel and top off the recovery tank with the coolant trapped in the funnel.  Took it for test run up the road and hit a little trail.  Outside air temp was 92F and 90% + humidity.  Machine never came close to overheating on the ride.
