    It should have a Mikuni carb on it unless its been changed.

    Glad it wasnt internal. You have been busy. Good diagnosis. It sounds like it has been ridden hard and jammed in and out of gear many times at some point in its life. I think it is repairable clean up the threads on the rod and it may work, but i would be tempted to look for a new shifter in good shape, you definately want to get it adjusted correctly so no internal damage happens. Hopefully the correct belt will solve your clutch problems also.

    Which amp fuse is it blowing and what accessorories are on your machine.

    Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your effort!

    I think the first thing i would check would be the shift linkage make sure its well oiled and moves freely it could possibly need adjustment.

    Just a thought since it runs on jack stands if it was clutch it should die as soon as you put it in gear.

    It sounds like the engine is stalling under a load . Plate clutch may be stuck.

    I f they have boots on them you do not have to take the boot off to grease them the boot keeps the grease in there.

    Do you mean the engine never rotates when you press the start button, but the starter turns, or it just wont start.

    If the kill switch does not move there must be corrosion in there also i would check it out.

    The 2004 single cylinder engines have a Power Distribution Module that serves the same function as the fuses and relays. The PDM is located above and just forward of the radiator and looks like a silver box with fins on it.

    Those 90s kingquads were the best, good luck getting it going.

    It wont run 180 out

    I think you have 2 things going on here you have worn rings and top end and you are running a diaphram carb that wasnt designed for the engine, but should work if everything else is in top notch condition. The plug should not get that oily that fast unless your rings are practiclly non existant which would lead me to did you check the compression, if the compression is low that would cause hard starting when cold plus the battery is weakened from the cold and does not spin the engine fast enough to start. Fairly guttsy putting 20 amps in to that small battery but is it worked that great.
  15. Gwbarm
    Yeah and depending on which side you have to pull the clutches on one side or the rotor on the otherside. But all good still a ton better than splitting the case.

    The old honda is working great with the new honda gears. It does still make the clunking sound on starting and this is with new gears and new starter.

    Update: I walked away for a while not knowing what i was going to try next, sometimes when you are at the end of your rope you have to do that or either call the junk man, didnt really have the time or interest in rebuilding the hydrostatic trans, dosing it weekly with PB Blaster and the last month Marvel Mystery Oil , it finaally let loose, even though i could move the mechanism a month ago it still wasnt releasing the wheels. Went out today and just tried it and wheels released. I can now roll it around. Now i have to put it all back together to see if the trans actually works, and fix the brakes while its apart.

    If you just want it pointing downward no backpressure if you dont want it permanant just make up the pipe stick it on there when you need it and take it off.

    They were a lot of fun and lately have been developing a huge fan base, seeing a lot of those being restored.
  20. Gwbarm
    Also brake lines swellup with age and get weak when you put pressure on them they blow out you may also check the bleeder and make sure its sealing correctly. Blue smoke could be rings or valve guide seals, if its more prominant when you first start it up its valve guide seals if it is fairly constant it could be rings or flooding although flooding is more of a darker smoke and not so blue.

    I think he is referring to the main jet size , you may be too rich, what do your plugs look like. If you are referring to Niche Cycle on Ebay they sell Mikuni carbs, since it came with the different jet sizes it is for many applications including the rare carb on your Kodiak. Is it a Mikuni . I would try installing the 135 and see if it helps and go down from there. Was it bogging with your old carb? I wouldnt throw my old one away.

    Its on the clutch side just below the primary clutch. You should see it move when you push down the shift lever, check to make sure the bolt is in tight that holds it together and that all the pins are in place, and it hasnt jumped out of position.
  23. Gwbarm
    How long have you run it, may take the rings a little bit to seat. Did you check the new ring gap on the cylinder before installation. Cyllinder may be worn also.
  24. Gwbarm
    I would first pull the side cover off and make sure the shifter cam assembly is working properly. Also check that the reverse cable is adjusted properly.

    I agree late 80s early 90s the 10th digit of the vin would be the year, i couldnt really make it out , great machines, their flagship model at the time, full time 4 wheel drive and a fairly bullet proof engine. They were tough as nails and i liked the mechanical fender shifter better than the newer ones, easier to work on with fewer problems. Hopefully it hasnt been abused too bad , they were ridden hard and neglected a lot.
