  2. Nice truck BB, I hope it works out well for you.
  3. The valves on that machine are adjusted by loosening a nut and adjusting a screw that is located on the valve side of the rocker arm. After the adjustment is made with the screw, you will obviously want to tighten the nut back down. As far as torque specs and valve clearances, I would get a manual or call a dealer for that info.
  4. No, I don't think you should be able to start it without the key on. The key switch or the wires that run in/out of it are probably the issue. I would start by inspecting the wires for a dead short. If the wires look ok, then the problem is probably in the switch itself. Sounds like it is on even in the off position. I would take it apart and inpect it before replacing it. You may be able to fix it by cleaning it, could be some kind of metallic debris in the switch causing it to short.
  5. OOps, I am late, I hope this doesn't mean I am fired. Happy belated B-day boss. I hope it was a doozy. BTW, Bot, that was disgusting, thankyou. I did love the PBR birthday candles though BB.
  6. One time, when I couldn't get my quad to start, Chuck Norris appeared out of nowhere, peed in my gas tank and bi***-slapped my quad causing it to start immediately, he didn't even touch the kickstarter.
  7. I don't think I would have said that, now Chuck Norris is going to find you and kick your as*. I don't think William Shatner can help you, you should just start running now.
  8. You are speakin my language right there. If you build it, they will eat dirt.
  9. If the machine has been sitting for that long it is definately a good idea to check that carb before you do anything. Hopefully that is your problem, cleaning a carb is alot cheaper than a new stator.
  10. You also want to make sure you get a wheel with the correct offset. The IRS quads use a rear wheel with alot of back spacing, so it has a drastic positive offset. If you buy normal rims, your machine may be close to a foot wider. Not only would that be a nuisance in tight spaces, the suspension will turn mushy and the handling may get wierd.
  11. Keep in mind, when you start changing the gearing, you will sacrifice top end speed for low end performance and vice versa. Changing the front sprocket will make more significant differences, maybe more than you are looking for. Changing the rear sprocket will make a more subtle change, adding or removing teeth on the rear sprocket has the opposite effect of changes made to the front sprocket. If you don't want to loose top speed, then look to motor mods to get the low-end boost you are looking for. It sounds like the XR cam will do well for you, CK1999 seems to know that machine inside and out. If you don't mind losing a couple mph, then a sprocket change is an easy, low cost way to get the low end perfomance you want.
  12. The grinding noise is probably a result of the gear not being fully engaged, that is also why it pops out. It is most likely the shift fork, but it would be worth your time to try adjusting the linkage to see if it helps.
  13. The belt or clutches would make sense. I would start by looking there.
  14. Wow, I did not think they were that long. Have you ever thought about putting a small-block Chevy in that thing?
  15. There is a reason why the Ford F-150 has been the best selling pickup for 32 years in a row. I say that being a Chevy guy myself. I would personally lean toward the Ford between the two, but I would still drive then both before you make your decision. That is if you haven't driven them already.
  16. If you put the quad on sideways, you can probably get them both on a shorter trailer. How long is that Rhino? 7 or 8 feet? You might be able to get away with a 6'x12'.
  17. It was probably an old sled trailer.
  18. Take it apart and inspect all the parts, you will probably find the problem in the process. Also, look closely at the valve spring and retainer, something may be broken there.
  19. If you have not done any engine mods or moved it to an area where elevation is drastically different, then the jetting should stay stock. I think Bot may be right, you are probably not getting fuel to the carb. Do what he said, also check the float, it could be stuck. Also, when you clean the carb, you need to clean EVERYTHING. Take EVERYTHING apart and clean it. Pay special attention to the idle circuit. Blow all passages that you cannot clean otherwise with compressed air.
  20. I think you meant to say go down a tooth in front, or up in the rear.
  21. I have not had that problem, but I think that it is odd that you have the same problem with both machines. That makes me think that your problem may be caused by similar riding or storage conditions. I would check all electrical connections on both machines. I think it is very possible that you will find corroded connections and grounds on both bikes. A poor ground can be bad for the lifespan of a generator.
  22. I would take a reciept from the second repair back to the first dealer and DEMAND that they refund your money.
  23. A tilting boat trailer? Was it a tilt trailer before, or did he make it that way?
  24. I haven't ridden in about a month, I now know what it is like for a crackhead when you take his pipe away.
