Wow! Brand spanking new.

Did you install the starter clutch the right way? Spinning the engine backwards a bit like you said should not do any damage. Pull the oil dipstick and check oil level to see if its really high and smell the oil. Curious if it smells like gas, drain and change it if need be. lastly If none of this works i would take the valve cover off and take a look at the valves and decompression release. Look at the cam on the side and see if there is a small spring on the cam.

So i have a friend at work who was recently diagnosed with a small but very manageable heart problem. He is in good shape but doc says he shouldn't be shoveling snow or anything crazy for a while until they figure this out. So he asked me to see what i can find him to plow since he has a good size piece of property. So i spent the last two weeks scouring the local states to find him a good atv with a plow! Found him a big bear 400 4x4 with a plow for a steal! Going to go through it good and put my touch on it and deliver it next week. As much fun as we have with this quad thing its just as much fun helping others out!

You should be impressed and I'm sure everyone else is! Looks really good. Opened up this topic on my desktop to better see the pictures. Looks really good @Frank Angerano. What's the name of the clearcoat and did you use a spray gun or can?

A few pics in the daylight and obviously the night time photos did it no justice! Im super impressed with this one. The way she shines! This front rack was bent pretty bad. I heated it up and beat it back to good, cane out pretty straight. I shot the racks with a spray gun for the first time and love it.

Great advice @Frank Angerano ! You have this from another topic might help:

Nice work!!!

So here she is !!!!! I have the plow stripped down and will get paint tomorrow but it runs great and pretty fast. I will post the last pic with the plow right before i load her up and deliver. And yes a Buffalo Bills fan. Seat cover by yours truly! Last pic i threw in for reference Click on the photos for a better view, it was dark obviously when i finished.

Yes i'm going to post it as soon as i know its a good product and works well.

You're a good man Frank. Pretty work, you'll make your friend very happy.

Horrible, simply HORRIBLE! Are you kidding? They look brand new, man! Is it paint? Wax? Since I have no experience painting atv plastics, my only question would be how durable is it - if painted, how is the paint able to stick to the plastic AND REMAIN THERE? sanding / roughing and possibly priming the areas prior to painting likely helps with this. your experiment looks fantastic. and now i'm headed to the plastics posts. just read your post - makes sense - and it'll likely work. good test run for all.

Got a hell of a day in. Pulled the front and rear apart, all looked great so i greased it up, new brakes and thats a wrap on the drive train. Blasted the axles, frame etc down to clean metal and any and rust and got several coats of paint on it. Reassembled most of the drive train and shot the racks and front bumper which are hung to dry. Should be getting it all back together soon enough and then a custom seat cover and shes done. A few more pics to come! Zoom in on the pics and see how clean that frame and drive train came out!

So i got it up in the air and pulled the wheels off. Pressure washed the entire bike and I'm pleased with what's underneath. Everything looks in tact and untouched. Brake pads are worn halfway down, all the bushings are in great condition. Not pulling the plastics off because im happy with everything so far. Going to paint the underside, new brakes, grease, oil lube and filter. Add a few cool cosmetic details and sending it out. Stay tuned!

Came from NJ, the seller was looking for way too much. Grabbed it up for $1200 It runs great and everything works. It sat for a while but the gas was turned off and carburetor ran dry. So new battery and fresh gas and it fired up like it was from the dealer. I went through the usual things and cranked it over with my mini jumper, checked compression etc. Im going to take a few things apart and change the oil, make sure its in tip top shape and move it along.
