Thank you for your help,I have now done that and it sounded better but still a rattle when running.I pulled left cover with water pump and found the oil pump shaft has sheered off on the end where it meshes with the water pump shaft.Not only that but there is a snap ring holding the plastic gear which runs the oil pump and it had slid to the left of the motor.I re-installed the plastic gear and cover and restarted the motor.noise quieted down but I need to replace that shaft in order for the water pump to work.I guess my question would be are these motors hard to split the case or do I have to in order to replace oil pump shaft and do you think if I use a heavier weight oil the motor might be ok.again thank you for your response.hope to hear from someone soon,Paul.

      I just bought a 1984 Suzuki LT185 ATV and am looking for the OWNER’S manual. ( not a service manual) 
      I contacted Suzuki Canada but they have no paper or digital copies in their archives. 
      Does anyone possibly have a digital copy they’d be willing to share?

      Guys, I've got a 1999 Honda Foreman 450S.  It runs great, but smokes out the exhaust after startup until it warms up.  I'm thinking the valve seals are leaking.  I was wondering if there is a way to replace them without removing the head or if there's an oil additive that will recondition the rubber seals.  Any advice?

      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.
