well........rode for a few days and had a lot of fun on it...finally,,,,but sadly, I did not check the nuts on the cylinder after a few hours of riding, and one came loose....leak! I am so mad, scored the heck out of the new piston, freshly honed cylinder, and metal shavings in the bottom of the block. That was the last bore on the cylinder too.....found one locally i am going to pick up tomorrow and will be able to use the piston i bought that was the wrong size after the cylinder is honed...(they said it was stock bore, I can only hope) the piston I bought is 20 over, so we'll see. So, after 3 nights of howling at the full moon with drink in hand, I am refocused on getting this done right this time,,,LOL! :yes: what a learning lesson that was! Jeff, did u get your quad fixed yet?

Many days spent on the internet and to day it paid off. I ran across someone having the same problem. It' a part of the front actuator. It's rectangle shaped metal block know as a collar. I had found it and thought it was the problem but coul not find out if I could just buy the part and what it was called till today. This little block of metal is 25.00 I don't even thank it's 1\2" long. Sorry to hear about your bad luck. It would be so nice to be able to buy a new quad. We never know how the used ones we buy have been kept up.

Glad you figured out the problem and part, it is nice that ajmboy posted the parts schematics for my bike, and I thanked him for it last night (I've been on that page MANY times, LOL).It is sad how much the parts cost, but when you think of how often we use the bikes, it's not too bad. Now Pete,,,,,, YOU know I don't have a camera.......but I did take pics on my phone, especially how to put everything back together, and the handy dandy Polaris manual helps too......picked up the new cylinder this morning and it is stock bore (YAY), also bought a complete engine off of ebay last night, just in case.... so let the honing begin!!!:biggrin: The moon is done being full so no more howling either...LOL:yes:

For right now I unpluged the kebc on my quad and running in 4wd till I get the collar steering sucks in 4wd but it's better thn not riding at all.

My quad is totally hammered, you wouldn't believe what I go through to go riding, but that is what seperates us from everyone else. We need to ride it is in our DNA.:yes:

      Have you ever purchased a quad from an impound auction?
      By DarkRider
      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.

      Well, is this ready for the junk yard?
      By p5200
      The studs in the sprocket hub are stripped out. The hub is probably walloed out also. Probably will have to have a new sprocket hub. I doubt I have the ability nor the tools needed for this job. Thanks for all suggestions/opinions!

      1998 Big Bear running lean, real lean.
      By Bobbywolf
      I am working on a basket case for a friend.  It is a 98 Big Bear (YFM350FWB).  It came with a parts machine which is a 96, which I am coming to find out is VERY different from his machine.
       
      Anyway, first thing is first.  I checked compression, 150psi.  Valves are set correctly, and the engine is in time.  I cleaned the carb, and there was some junk in the passages.  It is a chinese carb, which I figured from the lack of markings or lettering altogether.
       
      The bike runs.  It idles ok, but breaks up badly under acceleration.  Pulling a new spark plug shows it is running lean.  White strap, with no black whatsoever.  So I have the carb adjusted with the mixture screw out way too much (about 5 turns), and the diaphragm needle lifted to the top slot.  It is still not getting enough fuel (or too much air).  It backfires through the carb, and cannot get above idle without carrying on.  The carb boot is in good shape, so it isn't pulling any air there.  I did test this as well by spraying ether around the boot when running, looking for intake leaks.
       
      Anything big I am missing here?  I am starting to believe that this chinese carb is the issue.  This quad came with the original carb, which I would like to rebuild and use, but the mixture screw is totally stuck, and stripped way down in its recess.  
       
      Thanks for any assistance.

      Running engine without rear axle 2005 500 scrambler?
      By p5200
      I'm assuming, it's alright to test the engine after adjusting valves without the rear axle installed? Can someone please verify this? I'm waiting on axle parts and wanting to get that done while waiting. Thanks! 🙂
