Hi guys, I'm new here and new to Arctic Cat. This is my first post. And I need help. I just got a 2007 500 4x4 manual quad that did not run. The guy that I bought it from said he just rebuilt the top end. He thought that it jumped time. I have the manual and it doesnt seem to be detailed enough. First thing I did was set valve lash. It checked good. No start... Second pulled valve cover assembly. Removed timing tensioner and chain from cam. Positioned cam and reinstalled everything per. spec. and readjusted valve lash. tried to start and presto!! It fired right up!!! It ran for about 20 seconds and died. So I started it up again and it ran for five seconds and died... I could not get it to restart. So I put it back to tdc " using stator mark" and pulled valve access covers... Zero valve lash. So I pulled the valve cover again and the cam was 90 degrees off... I repeated this process 4 times in a row with the exact same results... does anyone have any knowledgeable experiences with this kind of situation? I'm starting to think that it's a severely stretched timing chain, bad tensioner or guide, I'm also looking at the automatic decompression element of the camshaft... I am a little stumped, and any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance...
