  1. Ya it ran great for the time that i was able to run it... my starter clutch went out a little while after that so it isnt running right now. But when i replaced the valves, i had my timing chain off by 1 chain link and my piston was hitting my valves again, and i was worried about my valves bending but i got that fixed again at work this time and the valves werent bent at all and it ran great after that too.

  2. Could be your starter, it clicks like that when your starter is bad.... Happened to me and my dad.... But anyway I would try tapping the starter with the back of a screwdriver and hold down the starter button at the same time and see if it turns over. If it turns over you need a new starter.

  3. I dont know much about the best brand to get, they all gotta be somewhat good if they still make their product, so the brand isnt a big deal. I would go just look for your best price. I did the valve job on mine and it was like 18$ for one an 26$ for the other and they worked fine when it was running

  4. I got a 91 king quad 300 that i got from a guy for 900$ and it was running great when i got it, but now both front CV joints went after having it in 4WD for only a couple times. Now i found that it need a starter clutch also and then a jet in the carb that doesnt come in the carb kit either... I replaced the valves and honed out the cylinder and the piston was in great shape so i didnt touch that. But im wondering if it is worth fixing for everything that is wrong with it. I do the fixes myself however. This thing has amazing power in super low and i just dont want to give it up but idk what to do?????:aargh:

  5. If you are going to look at the valves i would just change them. Changing the valves on them arent too bad. I did it myself on my 91 KQ 300 and it really wasnt that bad. The only problem i had was that i had my timing chain 2 links off TDC and i finally figured that out when i took it in. But if your just going to adjust them you are going to need a feeler gauge that is bend about an inch and a half down from the end because you gotta reach down a little ways to get in there.

    (The valves are pretty cheap by the way)

  6. Could be bad fuel lines or fuel filter/pump. Pilot screw setting might be closed too. And your going to want the valves a 6 thousandths and maybe even 7 thousandths for the exhaust valve because it will expand a little with the heat.

    And make sure you run premium fuel in there because anything else is terrible on the carbs
