    I didnt take the cam or rockers out yet... If I need to, I will tho.
  2. JacobSlabach
    ill try it...
  3. JacobSlabach
    This is what I have- the top part is the head, and I dont think it comes apart.
  4. JacobSlabach
    and what is an adjuster nut? Is that what is used to adjust the valve clearance?
  5. JacobSlabach
    I looked for a crack that would hint at a separation but I dont see anywhere that could come apart...
  6. JacobSlabach
    So, I'm having trouble getting the tool into the hole because the valves are so far down.. help?
  7. JacobSlabach
    and let us know how the Kodiak 700 performs and hold up! I love those machines, cant afford'em tho 😕 Nice!! I'm not close to u guys tho- live in southwest VA

    Ok- here goes nothin.. lol

    got the valve compressor. So I just take the valves out and replace the seals and the put them back in? Anything else? Any extra tips?
  10. JacobSlabach
    I'm working on it tomorrow. I'm gonna try to find a valve compressor today.

    yea I got 25" bighorn style tires on it so It works pretty good- I wont spin unless I beach it..
  12. JacobSlabach
    yeah I dont know how the 2wd would do in snow though...
  13. JacobSlabach
    good point..

    after thinking about it, I did run it pretty hard- I thought these things were bulletproof... lol when I visited my friend in AL, he clocked me going 45mph on it behind his truck- I thought that was slow, because he could get his stock sportsman with a jacked up carb to 70mph (no joke).......untill one of my friends told me that a manual quad wasn't supposed to be able to go that fast.😎

    And I could peg it as much as I wanted and it didnt choke out or cough-- it just died when stopped after pushing it in 4th and 5th.
  16. JacobSlabach
    thanks! I will definitely check to see if adjusting the air screw in helps if its still having issues when its back together. If that was the problem, then yes that would have been nice to know before I tore it apart and spent 500+labor on it, but thanks for saying something now rather than never!👍 And it was mainly smoking(blue) if I used choke when I started it cold- no smoke after it warmed up, just that burnt smell.

    Ok I have a diagram on kawasaki.com of the valves.. How do I do this without damaging the valves?
  18. JacobSlabach
    So I wont need to take the head apart? (that would be nice) I'm thinking the rings were going bad and then the buildup just held the valves open? I do have the top end gasket kit but if I dont need in for the head, I'd rather not take that apart and get into the valves. I will check the clearance with the valve tool i got when its all back together. Carb cleaner is exactly what I was going to ask about for the buildup lol I'll make sure to get everything oiled down before it goes back together.
  19. JacobSlabach
    Well I did get it on, just upside down lol Thanks for all your help on this btw! I still am not sure what to do with the head- its really dirty with buildup around the valves.. Ig I'll cross that bridge when I get there
  20. JacobSlabach
    I'm working on getting the cylinder in right now. I put everything together and realized I forgot the gasket 😰 I might work some more on it today but not sure yet... Where all should I be using the gasket adhesive?
  21. JacobSlabach
    nvm I got everything off (head and cylinder) The cylinder looked like it was in perfect condition (absolutely no scratching anywhere). The top of the piston was covered in black, crusty, loose soot and likewise in the head and around the valves. What should I do next?
  22. JacobSlabach
    how do i get the chain lose so I can take the head off? I already took the tensioner out. Do I take the cam sprocket off?
  23. JacobSlabach
    alrighty! I was mainly concerned about the valves..? should I take them out or leave them?
  24. JacobSlabach
    alright, I'm tearing into it today... any tips?
  25. JacobSlabach
    lol Yea my shop aint that big (its 8x17).. I would defiantly try to find warmer days to work on it, but I was just wondering if there's a limit. Thanks!
