Here's the thing about snorkels that I don't get.  Folks usually put an upright snorkel 3 feet in the air; that's great, but that would mean water was over your head.  snorkels are best left just under chin height sitting on the seat.  Any taller than that and it's just a "mine is bigger than yours" situation.

This bike seems to be completely untouched.  The carb is absolutely disgustingly dirty and I see that as a good sign.  It's not been taken off to clean!

Yea that snorkel is over kill !! LOL wonder if the airbox is water tight !! I wish deals like that would come my way !!

I need some help y’all, I bought a 450r, 2005 and I was riding it and unfortunately got stuck, I had no clutch control at all, I put it in gear and release the clutch, it doesn’t go anywhere, I select through all gears and it won’t move, i can rev it out, I just bought a clutch kit, but I am sorta new to this whole scene of race quads, I always had a 4x4, so any help will be much appreciated thanks.

Ive got the same quad since I bought it new in 05 Ive never had a issue with the clutch ! Whats it doing ? is ur cable working right or out of adjustment ? pull the cover off and youll be able to see if it working proper

Unfortunately this weekend we waived goodbye to the 99 400ex.  Ported and polished head, DMC Alien exhaust with dual header, an absolute unit that would run 70 on the top end.  Fortunately though the 400ex left in exchange for a fairly cherry 98 Honda 300..the holy grail of reliability in a mud and water toy.  Previous owner added the snorkels and it was a decent job.  Put some 25" swamp witches on it, now it just needs 1" spacers, 2" bracket lift, couple of pinion seals and a pound or two of dielectric grease.  Hate to let the 400ex go as it was a gem, but it's hard to pass on a cherry 300.  These things are just so dang reliable and easy to work on.

Nice Honda 300 !! Im a 400ex guy though !!

Check the carbs for obstructions. If it’s smooth and clear. Then it’s in your throttle cable. They don’t stay perfect forever. Or the routing of that cable.

It backfires when I give it wayyyy too much gas when trying to start it. Never when riding though, nor when properly starting it.

Are the valves in spec ? U shouldnt  have to give it much gass on starting 

Welcome to QC !!

Damm U still chasing that ghost ?? Id like to know what it is when u find it !!

Actually got the harness in and the carb rebuilt. No luck! Still backfiring and not getting past half throttle.  
 

Electrical is one of my strong subjects and was banking on the harness being the problem since it was in such burnt condition and a week ignition spark.  New harness installed and the spark was so much better so i thought bang im good. 
So anyway @quadnut20 im back to square one.   Going to check timing and go from there.  

Damm !! I hate chasing ghosts LOL Checking valves and timing also ?

I hear ya. Motor runs great. I found a new harness at a good price so hopefully its a wrap with about $140 bucks. Its in new condition so we will see!!!!!

$140 is a killer deal Hopefully it fixes it Electical is my worst subject !! 

OUCH !! Damm that sucks !! Did U contact  Caltric about this problem ?

Sweet !! as usual gunny !!

WOW Never heard of them !! Id be interested to know if they really work !! I ride in the woods mostly so they wouldnt work here

Hello folks!  I'm Mitch, from Pittsburgh, PA, and new to the site.  Between me and my son, we own an old Suzuki LT250S, a Kawasaki KFX400 and a YZ250.  My young granddaughters love messing around on an old Suzuki FA50 moped.  We're going to be getting them their own quads in the near future.  I hope to gain some knowledge while I'm here.
