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.

      Hi 
      Is looking for a quad to pull a flail mower as my first priority, but also a bit of fun. 
      So its going to be pulling a flail mower on high grass / weed on a bumpy field at pretty low speed. 
      My budget is not high, so is mostly looking at a old Yamaha Kodiak 400cc / Suzuki Eiger 400cc or similar. 
      What machine would you recommend  ?  - Really want a solid machine since I am no mechanic but can perform a early service myself. 

      (English is not my native, hope it makes sense)

      Hey, I'm thinking of upgrading my stock sport glide seat with memory foam as a bit of a project. I've seen how some guys use the heavy-duty padding inside the water repellent UTV seat cover fit Polaris Ranger XP 1000 crew for their UTV projects and wanted to try something similar for my bike.
      Has anyone done a DIY foam upgrade and have any tips? What sort of foam density would people recommend, and how easy is it to remove and refit the factory seat cover over the new padding? Any advice gratefully received!
