i was wondering if anybody knows if there is a oil filter cover gasket. this is for a 2000 honda 400ex with a big bore kit. the reason i ask is because i changed the oil and filter once i changed the filter and put the cover back on and oil started leaking out around the cover.

I would say it should have an o ring or gasket I don't have that type so I can't say I'm right either. My quad uses an automotive style filter. If you have a filter cartrage that the oil flows thru and the cover is what holds the oil in I say 100% it should have one.

yea the filter came with an o-ring but what i was wondering is if were the cover meets the crankcase if there should be a gasket in between that because it seems like the kid i baught it off of used a permatex on it or if it was just my fault when i installed it. i may have damaged the o-ring which could be causing a leak its only when its a cool temp when it is warm it does leak as much

Yes see my previous post. Remove all of the permatex and install an o ring its about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. For this I would go to a dealer as the would have the proper size. Going to a hydraulic place they might not have one the is an exact fit and might leak again. Make sure none of that permatex got into your motor. It will damage your motor.

i would replace the o ring as stated above make sure you oil the o ring before install only tighten by hand. make sure the filter cover is not bent out of shape or something wrong with it.

      2 problems with 2000 Timberwolf 4x4
      By Tim Keiper
      1st problem, Does anyone know where I can find a stock carb for my Timberwolf, I have tried two different aftermarket carbs and they both suck. The machine runs great until it gets good and warm, then it keeps stalling unless I feather the throttle. it will even stall while I'm trying to go from 1st to reverse or vise versa. I took it to a buddy of mine who is a bike mechanic for years, and he told me try to find a factory carb. When I look online from dealers it says "NOT AVAILABLE" anyone have any suggestions ?
       
      2nd, The small tab on the rear axle for towing is to short for even pulling my small yard trailer, I can't even turn a little bit and hit hits. I tried making an extension which worked great as far as length, but it bends the tab and then the extension drags the ground. I have an idea of what to do to fix it, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and see how you solved it.

      Heavy Duty ATV Cover
      By Gwbarm
      Does anyone have a recommendation of a really Heavy Duty ATV cover. I have bought several and they do keep the water off somewhat, but they are very thin and do not contour with the shape very well and water pools up in the rack louvers. I think i may be looking for a heavy canvas one, if anyone has a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.

      By Trent Finnessey
      I’ve got a 2000 400ex with a dg slip on muffler, it came with he stock muffler on it but the previous owner had the dg in a box so I put it on. I’ve been riding it for the past month and a half and every time I let off it backfires, and the other day the backfires got way louder, 2x louder! I’m concerned that I may hurt my motor? Why does is backfire??? Thanks
