    So I wanted to start a thread about modifications on ATVs OR SXSs that makem look sick or run better. It can be any modification from new handlebar grips to a winch to an added lightbar, but I was focusing on tries and rims. Here are some of my simple additions to my Bayou 300: I put looker front shocks on it, added a 2500 winch, replaced the headlight with a blinding 6in light bar, and added new and bigger rims and tires: and just for clarification, all the pics are of it with the lightbar on it, the last one is of the stock headlight.

    I'm figured getting mine running would be a good start.....

    hondas are low maintenance but have no performance (like I said earlier, Yamaha rocks) But thanks for doing more than counting..... sportsmans are awesome

    it should be 10 likes on your replys to get a manual instead of 10 replys... maybe that would work better? nicely put 8 to 10? (I cant count either)
  6. JacobSlabach
    preach it! lol I posted like 50 replys before I even got around to needing a manual... Its definitely worth the wait!! and thanks to the folks helping me out on this site!!

    LOL haha got any pics of the bike? I'm a Polaris nerd (even more of a Yamaha nerd tho)(just sayin)

    WD40 works wonders on exhaust bolts. I was trying to replace an engine on a ditch-witch (I gave up-- those things are a pain n the caboose to work on) but anyway, I didnt use WD40 on the blots and broke one of them off just recently, I did a engine tear-down on my bayou and used WD40 literally 5 mins before removing the bolts.....they slid right off

    looks like a really fun bike!

    where are good ATV trails/campgrounds near southwest VA?

    ok so the spark plug wasnt tight lol the oem carb is still flooding out the bottom and the chinese carb is getting gas in there now but nothing happens... the oem carb did fire up with choke and ran REALLY bad and shut off when I took the choke off, and backfired out the carb. cant get the chinese carb to work at all..
  12. JacobSlabach
    Ok so I put the Chinese carb back on it cause I knew that would at least make it idle and I had a feeling that the oem carb might be blocked somewhere.... but it wont run period. I took the Chinese carb back off and felt the entrance to the head and it was completely dry-- no gas to engine. checked my gas flow from the tank and theres plenty of gas there... what could be wrong with it? It is no longer flooding out the bottom of the carb. I'm gonna try the oem carb while I'm waiting for a response.

    the timing is perfect with the t on the flywheel and the mark that says LF300 is lined up with 'top' written on the head. I'm swapping the jets back now on the carbs and I'll check the float too.
  14. JacobSlabach
    ok thanks! we have over 20 inches of snow here (from yesterday) so I am going to try to get this thing running today. So I hear you saying this: check the timing carefully and make sure the marks on the cam sprocket line up with the mark on the head swap the jets in the carbs to get the stock jets in the stock carb to make sure the needle is seating correctly to shut off the fuel. anything else?
  15. JacobSlabach
    what should I do with the carb?
  16. JacobSlabach
    I agree with you. I didnt see the mark on the head so I will look for that next time I work on it.
  17. JacobSlabach
    This is what I have: The red dot is the center of the cam, the blue dot is the indent I was talking about (it faces toward the rear of the bike) the green marks are what you're talking about that are lined up with the cylinder. the pink circles the cap on the flywheel to view the 'T'mark I can take the cam cover off next time I work on it to check the mark on the head (A) yes I have the manual, and I will check the mark next time I am working on the bike.
  18. JacobSlabach
    didint see ur pic at first, this is what I have! ☝️ the two marks (what he's pointing to) are in line with the cylinder.
  19. JacobSlabach
    ok so I took some pics (I'm not really sure what mark you're talking about) just took these, I'm not working on the bike today, (too cold) will be working again on it maybe wednesday, but I want to figure out a game plan before working at it again.
  20. JacobSlabach
    The indent is just right of the center hole, the mark that is supposed to be parallel with the top end it at the top of the sprocket, sorry the pic is so blurry
  21. JacobSlabach
    sorry, forgot to upload the pic: and sorry, its blurry lol
  22. JacobSlabach
    when I took the cam sprocket off, I took a pic which I'll upload. If you look at the pic, there is an indent in the sprocket just right of the center. I made sure that was to the right again when I put it back together, with the 'T' mark centered on the flywheel Yes I do know the tad and I had adjusted it to keep the gas valve in farther (I was thinking that might help with flooding) The float was not sticking when I took the carb apart.... the only thing I can thing of is I put the clean jets off the aftermarket carb in the oem carb (they all looked the same) maybe that caused a problem? The engine turns over easier than it did when I took it apart, It had a clicking noise when I would turn it over with the rope that sounded like valves, but I also hadn't put the back end of the muffler on yet.
  23. JacobSlabach
    Ok. So how do I get this bad boy running?🤟
  24. JacobSlabach
    compression is at 170psi so do I have the valve clearance wrong or what?
  25. JacobSlabach
    The float was free when I took the carb apart. sp was wet when I took it out. I'm gonna check compression to rule out the valves.
