1992 Polaris Trailboss Rebuild
gillies_robert replied to gillies_robert's topic in Polaris ATV Forum
It came with pure sports bandits, very popular in the 90s ๐ I added a set of ams sand snakes that were all folded up from shipping for ten years. They cracked terribly but I added a little slime and they sealed right up ๐๐ป I ordered a aftermarket replacement intake manifold, and used the original air box and boot ๐๐ป It needed a throttle cable so I replaced with aftermarket, be sure to set and double check your oil pump setting when changing cables, choke cable is factory, and all fuel lines and oil lines are new as well. If you have a project like this pick up a copy of the service manual, I have both the clymer and the factory Polaris. They will be a big help ๐๐๐ป -

So it was piston slap you were hearing? Too much clearance right outta the box, you did check it before installing?

thanks for the post, any special fluid you use for flushing and what is your preference for gear oil?

2000 Kawasaki Bayou 220 - Bad Cylinder?
gillies_robert replied to Michael Rogers's topic in Kawasaki ATV Forum
assuming the valves are sealing too heavy carbon buildup on plug, and exhaust valve and port. post some pictures of piston and rod will tell a little more of what happened with this engine. -
2000 Kawasaki Bayou 220 - CAM, Valves, Timing
gillies_robert replied to Michael Rogers's topic in Kawasaki ATV Forum
pour solvent in head to do a quick check if valves are sealing, the cam looks great but is hard to tell from pictures, usually the rocker arms will have wear spots along with the cam lobes. service manual will have measurements to check wear on cam also. -
2000 Kawasaki Bayou 220 - Bad Cylinder?
gillies_robert replied to Michael Rogers's topic in Kawasaki ATV Forum
looks pretty polished with little to no crosshatch left, measure your clearances, chances are it will need to be bored oversize. are there signs of burning oil or was it just low compression? -

1995 400 xplorer 4x4 restore from storage
gillies_robert replied to Micah Gafford's topic in Polaris ATV Forum
get the premade lengths and for whatever reason the coated version bends nicer. tight bends i push aircraft cable through the inside to help it from kinking, and pull it around a pipe or large socket. -
1991 Yamaha YMF100 Moto 4 Electric Start Issue
gillies_robert replied to amharrison24's topic in Yamaha ATV Forum
start with a new fully charged battery. some times after running a battery gets a surface charge but dies quickly. do some quick voltage tests and let us know what you find. 12.8-13.2v fully charged battery no less than 11.5v when cranking should climb above 13v when running above idle -
1995 400 xplorer 4x4 restore from storage
gillies_robert replied to Micah Gafford's topic in Polaris ATV Forum
we make brake lines from scratch at work and can usually match up a rubber line to fit too, rough lengths is all you would need, hard lines are easy to make just need the double flare tool. probably all 3/16 lines. i may need to do this on my sons 250. -
