    Glad I found this guy and Partzilla. I was looking for a quad and my brother-in-law found me a 2001 Honda Rancher4x4 ES Orange! It didn’t leak oil, no smoke and sounds pretty good. Gave it some long needed TLC and man It’s like new. But these videos help me get it purring like a cat!!! Thanks! Oh and by the way I had never worked on machines or cars before…

    after I adjusted the valves startup sounded great, a short test run was great but after a longer run time when engine was warmed up the valves became noisier than before they were adjusted. adjusted them again after engine cooled down and the same thing happened when the engine warmed up. wondering what the issue is?

    I have a 06 rancher 350 4x4 and we put a new jug and head on it today. Along with a new carb and fresh gas. It only turns over. It won’t start. Put new plug in it and make sure it had spark. After spraying some starting fluid, it backfired a few times but never acted like it wanted to start.

    Hey! I have a honda trx350fe 2001 model.. one day i was out plowing with it it the electric gearing started to get slower and weirder so i had to push it back and fourth to shift. And suddenly it was stuck in reverse.... i went in and when i got out i got it in neutral and pushes it in the garage.. later i opened the gearbox and i didnt see anything wrong and right after i opened the crankcase cover the gearing was fine again.... so i was riding it and suddenly the same happened i tried with the manually shifter and it didn’t work.... and sometimes the elextric shift works and sometimes it dont, And the with the manualy shifter. Can it be the clutch? Every time i push the electric shift buttons i can hear that it is trying... but wont shift.. and nothing happens when i turn the manually shifter. Please help. It’s pissing me off!

    A couple of basic questions. 1.) What oil are you running and when was it changed last prior to the shifting issues? 2.) When you "I opened the gearbox and I didn’t see anything wrong and right after I opened the crankcase cover the gearing was fine again" were you looking at the clutch/gear shift linkage on the front facing side of the engine? If so did you try to move the gearshift shaft to feel any binding inside the transmission?
