Pretty hard to beat this winch for the money. Has a wireless remote the size of a key fob. Can mount it anywhere for plowing and can also take it off to use off the quad. I have two and they work perfectly. It's a very good product at Harbor Freight!

Yeah, if it has one I would think it would have to be in the cylinder head somewhere! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Yeah, I try to but sometimes I jump the gun and buy stuff I don't end up needing. I'm getting better. Boy that water pump was a job in the Magnum but I now have zero oil leaking! Worth it! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thank you! Turns out the thermostat is opening and the water is circulating to the radiator. The fan would not come one at all. I made a jump wire for the connector on the thermal switch and the fan powers on and runs fine. The engine cools appropriately with the fan running. Ordered a new thermal switch and will leave the jump wire in place until then. Thanks Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thanks a million! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Will do. Thank you for your time and assistance with this. I really appreciate it! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thanks for your reply! Any idea where this "rogue screw" is located on the engine? I wouldn't begin to know where to look. Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Just finished replacing water pump seals and impeller on my 97 Magnum 425 due to oil leak out of the weep hole. Haven't owned it very long and have only riden around the yard a couple times because I only recently got it. I installed a new bullet aluminum impeller and made sure the nut was tight and that thebimpeller was not spinning on the shaft. My oil leak is now fixed. I filled the radiator and let it run. The motor seemed to be getting hot and the radiator fan never came on. Looking into the radiator its hard to tell if the coolant is circulating due to the vibration of the quad. Never looked down the radiator prior to pump rebuild so not sure how it compares now. Think it could be a bad thermostat or air in the system? Is there a refill procedure? Any advise is appreciated!

Sorry, not sure how to get to the dow load link for the manual. [emoji52] Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thanks! Kinda dreading the job (getting housing cover bolts off and back on because it's so tight with the frame so close and partially blocking. May have to fabricate an extended wrench with a bend in it to get that front bottom bolt. We will see! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thanks so much! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Hi Mech! Yeah, I have a 6x6 but I think all the engine stuff is the same or the 425 engines of the same year. I did find a download link for a manual but the link is down [emoji52] Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Anyone have it on PDF they can send? Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Just got my rebuilt kit delivered Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thank you very much! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thank you very much! The only Magnum specific video I could find the guy drilled through the frame to access front bolts with a socket and extension. Don't really wanna do that! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

I chased down the leak on my 97 Magnum 425. I have a nice leak coming from the water pump weep hole. I am being told the oil seal inside the pump needs to be replaced. Can anyone tell me what is involved in the repair. Can it be done without pulling the motor? Thank you! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the time, research and help! Much appreciated! Saved a bundle I'm sure! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Thanks! I can only think that once I corrected the spring on the decompression lever it made a difference. Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Got it running! Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Sorry, I forgot to answer that question Mech. Yes, it turned a little easier with the spark plug a little loose. I also realized that during the rebuild, someone put the decompression spri g on wrong and it was holding the wrong side of the metal piece against the dowel. I corrected that. The motor still turned hard. Also discovered that the fuel pump is garbage. I bypassed it and ran directly from tank. I put it back together and hit the starter......it fired right up and idled. Go figure! Took it for a test drive and it has gobs of power. 6x6 works so I'm almost there. I do have an oil leak to chase down. Thanks for hanging with through this......certainly was different!

Ok.......figured out that the spring for the decompression was on so that the opposite side of that metal piece was against the dowel. It shouldn't have made any difference when starting, o ly when running. I corrected it. Also discovered that the fuel pump is not working so it wasn't getting any gas at all. I bypassed it direct to carb. I hit the starter and it fired right up and idled. Took it for a test drive and it runs great. Go figure??! I do have an oil leak somewhere though. Will have to sort that out. Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

I'm sorry, completely forgot to respond to that question. Yes, it turned over a bit easier with the plug loose. Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

The engine was rebuilt a couple years ago and I can tell that is true by having gone through as much as I have so far. Looking at the loabes of cam through the rockers....they are pristine. Going to watch the ball bearing today to see if there is any movement in the decompression ball bearing when I that metal piece away from the dowel. I am not sure what the max compression should be.......can't find it anywhere. Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk

Just bought a non-running 425 Magnum 6x6. Guy said previous owner had motor rebuilt (3 years ago or so.) It reportedly ran great but recently the electric start began failing and he put a new recoil on it which he broke immediately. I get it home and put a new recoil on it and the pull is incredibly hard....so much so that I think I'm going to break the new recoil assembly. I also installed a new starter which won't roll it over either. I'm thinking maybe a hydro-locked situation so I pull the plug and the motor rolls over fine with both pull start and electric start. The cylinder was dry however. Checked the valve lash and it was right on at .0006". Checked the compression relief spring on the end of the cam and the spring was strong and keeps the metal piece against the dowel like it should. The cam lobes look good from what I can see. I have a small camera that I dropped into the cylinder. Could t get a pic of the entire chamber because of the angled engine but there are marks on the center piston and a couple of grooves once side of the piston top. I will include the photo. Anyway....I'm at a total loss at this point. Not sure how to proceed and diagnose. Would sure appreciate anyone's help who might know what the heck is going on! I was able to get it to turn over about 5 times with electric start with compression tester installed which read 145 lbs. I don't know what else to do! Reply Sent from my SM-F926U using Tapatalk
