OK ya'll, How do I fix this problem? The plastic part holding the cable in the carb snapped and the spring is slipping out causing a really hi idle speed. I pushed it bacl kin dropping the idle so how can I fix it. I know I can get a kkit but I dont know how to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dont know Kid bought it with the hole in it and plugged it.

I could maybe see a hole underneath,but on top?

JacobSlabach,as far as I know,besides the hole in the rearend,it needs plastic and rear axle bearings. Thats why I needed to know for sure what it is. A model year would help too,lol

Yea,JB weld to the rescue

OK ya'll.My son bought this thing and was told its a Kaw Bayou 300. Maybe. I cant find any numbers on it.The one tag I did find its so faded as to be unreadable. Its a long shot but maybe someone can help ID it. Thanks in advance.

Id considered just wiring up a couple of small cable clips like that using some 10 gauge wire and a ring terminal to each battery terminal and just let them hang out in the battery compartment. Just clamp each clip to each jumper cable.Being careful they have no way to contact each other of course.I wasn't sure if a 10 g wire would be big enough tho.

OK Guys,this may seem like a dumb question but here goes. Ya know those tiny battery terminal posts on the battery? Well does anyone know of some mod or a part I can buy or scrounge or make that makes it easier to get a set of jumper cables on the terminal itself without having to take the battery out?

Yea I got a rim finally.Weeee! Im riding again.Thanks for the help everyone.

OK ya'll.I need your help again.My ATV, 2004 Yam Kodiak 400 4x4,needs a new REAR rim or wheel what have you,whatever term you prefer. I've posted pics here as you can see.The tire is a 25x10.00x12 . As you can see its a deep REAR rim.I cannot seem to find a deep REAR rim. (Capitalization for emphasis) . The only sizes I can find listed are for both the front and rear wheels which is  12x7  4/110.  This doesn't help me much. So,who can help me out? Im getting desperate now!LOL!

Almost done.Got another question first. I put the brake cover on but it was very tight.I had to tighten the 6 bolts to pull it all the way on.Did I do something wrong? The axle still turns and look at this pic please.Did I put the cover seal on backwards?

Yea,I was thinking hard about either one of your ideas but I broke down and bought a 20" punch last night. Ill have it if I ever need it again I guess.

I always wanted one when I was a kid but mom & dad couldnt afford it. I grew up got married had kids,all that responsible adult stuff  and just forgot about it till around 2 years ago.The kids are all grown up and mostly moved out now.No wife to worry about so I figured what the heck. I found an old 04 kodiak 400 for a reasonable price and oicked it up.Loving it ever since. I just wish someone had told me its not a cheap hobby lol.

Ok making some progress.Pulled the axle out (thanks Frank).It was a mess inside on both sides.Bearings felt like they were welded in place but I got the right side fixed.Now the left...I need a real long punch to get this bearing out.Can anyone point me in the right direction where to beg borrow or steal one?lol.jk.How long of a punch is needed. I looked on Amazon and they had a 20" punch. think that might work? Actually its a 20" x 5/8 " punch. Seems big enough.Sorry if these questions seem dumb but Im learning as I go! Thx.

ok,well I guess ?Id better get to ciphering then!

So I wont mess it up any?

I cant see where this lever will work without some kind of extra piece.

I just picked up that seal puller. Thanks.Now with that being said. Im having trouble pulling the axle out. Its a solid 1 piece and I pulled everything off of it on both sides.I put the nut back on the left side and with an impact socket over the axle end I started banging away. And banging.And banging some more. Ignore the nut on the axle  of the 2nd pic I wasn't hitting the right side before anyone asks! lol. Did I miss something? I was told that after I took everything off the axle it would just slide out with a little hammertime. Do I have to remove a clip or something in the final drive maybe? I was using an 8 lb or so mallet so I had enough hammer I think. Was I not using enough muscle? After a few more swings I stopped not wanting to take the chance of destroying anything in the F drive. Was I too cautious? Another thing, (I did pick up the repair manual but it doesn't give a step by step description of how to). If I ever get the axle out,is there any particular method of installing the seals and bearings? Im a newbie at these toys so please bear with me. I seek the knowledge of more experienced individuals! lol. Help me Obi Wan! Thanks folks! I appreciate the help!

Great Wanrep.I picked up the bearing replacement kit Im ready to go now Thank you. Ive run into another question tho,lol,never ends does it?! The cover plate #30 has a dust seal in the center. I got one at the local sport shop but they gave me the wrong part.The new one looks like just a big metal washer.I watched the parts guy pull it up on the comp,he put the right part # in but when it arrived it looked like a washer about the size of a silver dollar,maybe just a bit bigger. Im gonna take a pic back to him with the part # so I can get the right piece. I need to replace it cause its all torn up but I see that its apparently glued in place. Is that normal? I tried removing it but its gonna take alot of scraping to get it done. I had one heck of a time trying to scrape it out.I figured Id stop and ask someone before I went any further. My question is will I have to glue the new one in or not?The cover is in decent shape still so I dont want to have to buy a new one cause I couldnt get the old seal out. And 1 question if I may,lol,sorry but Im learning on this machine. The brake shoe plate #16, where it bolts on to the gear case.I didnt see any kind of seal or gasket that would keep any junk out. Should I just RTV it up and slap it on or do I need to do anything else to it? Thanks for the help to you and everybody else.I really appreciate it btw.

Thx everybody.

Great,Thanks! Now how about installing it? Are there any clips or something that holds it in place? Just replace the oil seals and bearings and thats it?

Hello boys and girls!:howdy:I need a little help if ya dont mind.I need to replace the rear axle bearings on my 400 but Im going at this blind having never done it before. Ive looked it up in the repair manual but it doesn't give any specific steps on how to do it. I've got the left rear brakes off already as I was replacing the shoes anyway. Can somebody give me a rundown on what Ive gotta do please?I know I need to pull the right wheel off just havent done that yet. Do I need to take anything apart in the final drive or elsewhere in order to yank the axle out for instance? Which side does the axle come out from,L or R? Any details I need to know will be greatly appreciated.Thanks ya'll!

Yea I hear that Frank.Great advise!

They do.Ive got 2 of them so,lol, one of them is usually running!

Yea I hear ya Frank.I do enjoy doing the work,it gives me something to do but wow,its like when I get one thing done I find something else that needs fixing.Oh well,they say when u buy used your buying somebody else's problem!Its all good tho,its enjoyable.

So are you saying an upper ball joint cannot be replaced at all?Just buy a new c-arm? wow.

Ive got the same problem with mine not starting.I changed the brakes and oil & filter and now it wont start.It dont even wanna turn over but if I jump the RELAY itll fire right up. This is definately NOT a cheap hobby!lol!
