Sometimes the contact can corrode inside. Mash it in and wiggle it around as much as you can. You might get it to work doing that. There are a lot of possibilities so let's start with a couple easier ones. You can test to see the button is sending a start signal by pulling off the connector at the solenoid and using a test light. Connect the clip end to the ground and test each wire by pushing the start button. Let me know how that goes.

Stopping is always a good option!

Man...the imagery of the rope dragging around...HAHAHA! I've got a winch that I need to fix with about 15 feet of cable unspooled on a quad I'm working on. Somehow I hook a toe into it every time I walk by. Lift your feet! Lift your feet! LOL You can always put some kind of epoxy or glue to make sure the nut doesn't come back any further but it sounds like you have it under control! Ride safe!

Nothing like waiting and watching while silently shouting...GET TO THE POINT! :)

I am glad that I could help!

To my knowledge, the plugs are all the same so that they can plug their readers into it.

So why did you drive it in low gear does that do something after you adjust the throttle sensor

It should be just lower than the body of the carb.

Remove the pull starter off of the machine. Get a thin screwdriver and reach inside where the rope is supposed to come out. Then turn the spool and see if you can catch the broken end and get it to come out far enough that you can grab it with a pair of pliers or pry it out more with the screw driver along the side of the spool. If that doesn't work, get back to me and I will see if I have one I can take apart to advise on the next steps.

I just uploaded a video on how to reinstall the spring and put a new rope on. I hope you find that helpful.

The "black box" that is the CDI can't really be tested other than trying it in another running machine. You can test to see if the pulse coil input comes out at the harness to the CDI and also that the power and ground are good there as well. If that is the case, then I would replace the CDI box. I wish you luck. These problems can drive you crazy trying to sort them. Unless one of the replacement components was no good (which does happen) then I think you have narrowed it down to the CDI.

I've had to change an axle shaft before because of this....never doing that again!!

I might have to try that. lol

Can you describe the noise? Does it burn oil?

Tapping noise almost like a slight knock. Doesn’t burn oil

@@ITALCC13 This is going to sound crazy, but check your running voltage. If your voltage is too high it affects the timing advance calculation and it will ping / knock..

Hey I’ll try anything once lol. Unfortunately it didnt work ☹️

@@ITALCC13 is it timing chain noise?

Boohoo! He is also a pedophile and snorts coke off of hookers and is as corrupt as they get and even sells out American interests for personal gain. What sympathy should I show him? He wants to be a political 'gansta', then he can deal with the negative publicity of being caught.

Yup!

No because it slots into the valve cover and the casing.

Thanks!

Thanks!

You might have recognized her...I think she is getting to be KZbin famous...

@@HillbillyToolBox i think she might be! Was surprised the Diva herself didn’t take center stage!

LOL! Yup, enjoying a coffee and looking at much needed rain. Working on the next video.

Glad it helped!

I think the stamped number should be in the same location as on the 400. Rub the steel with your finger so the stamp is more visible and then take a bunch of pictures with your phone camera. Often you can't see it because of the angle and position so taking pictures is very helpful.

Glad it helped. Thanks for joining! I checked out your videos and love the old sleds! Where are you located? Also subscribed.

Glad I could help!

If the carb is clean then you should just have to adjust the throttle stop. - The knob on the wire that you can turn in or out.

Thanks

Lol

The carb might have a different air filter but the inside will be the same.

Hope it helped!

I read about that mod. This thing has enough snap...I'm getting old! lol

An air leak can cause a cough/sneeze as well as make the motor race at idle. I would have to see a picture of the tube you are talking about. You can sometimes find the leak by spraying carb cleaner around the edge of the boot. It will seal the hole briefly and the idle will change. It might not hurt to do a thorough carb clean. Run a small wire (I use one from a BBQ brush) through the jets and the side holes in the brass tubes.Also blow compressed air through all the ports in the face and back of the carb (as you look inside it from either side).

@@HillbillyToolBox I cleaned the carb out really well, tbh it wasnt dirty except for a couple clogged jets which i did run a wire through and it didnt change the high idle. I ordered new carb boots so here's hoping thatll fix it!

I wish you luck!!

Would a bad boot or Crack in boot suck air and make my warrior wanna shut off?

The guys here got a good laugh at that! That is sooooo true!

LOL

If you have no exhaust or after market exhaust that allows more flow, it can cause a lean condition too. Also, check the automatic decompression system. They can cause lean type issues too.

@@HillbillyToolBox thanks for the reply. The auto decompression system appears to be working; the weight on the exhaust camshaft moves with the spring so it looks like it's working. Thanls again.

That's why I make the videos! Lol

You're very welcome!

I appreciate that! I try to keep them short and direct.

I flip my ATV on its side and then I don't have to drain the oil.

It locks the flywheel/magneto rotor in place. If it is missing or it slips, the magnet will be out of time when it rotates and it won't run.

I can be tricky to get the adjustment just right from my own experience. It could also mean something in the shifting components is bent or not working correctly. Check this link to a chat group discussing that issue. www.hondaforeman.com/threads/is-my-clutch-bad.73798/

Thanks

I should have more in a couple months when I get through a bunch of my other projects. Thanks for watching!

For us English folks: hello i have a 300 klf bayou 2x4 the quad only starts with the choke without choke it cuts off directly it does back and forth like in your video what to do please My Answer: Vous devez nettoyer les gicleurs de votre carburateur. L'un d'entre eux est bouché et ne laisse pas passer le carburant, ce qui explique pourquoi le starter du carburateur fait fonctionner l'appareil. Démontez le carburateur et retirez le fond. Retirez les pièces à l'intérieur du laiton à l'aide d'un tournevis et utilisez un petit fil de fer et du nettoyant pour ouvrir tous les trous. Ne retirez pas le flotteur pour l'instant. Toutes les pièces retirées ont des trous droits, et certaines ont des trous sur les côtés. Regardez ma vidéo sur le nettoyage d'un carburateur Grizzly 300 et vous comprendrez. Je n'ai pas utilisé mon français depuis l'âge de 10 ans, j'ai donc utilisé un traducteur pour m'aider car mon vocabulaire à l'âge de 10 ans ne comprenait pas ces mots. Traduit avec DeepL.com (version gratuite) You need to clean the jets in your carburetor. One of them is plugged and not letting fuel in which is why the carburetor choke makes it run. Remove the carburetor and take the bottom off. Remove the pieces inside the brass with a screwdriver and use a small wire and cleaner to open all the holes. Do not remove the float at this time. All the removed pieces have holes straight through, and some have holes on the sides. Watch my video on cleaning a Grizzly 300 carb and you will understand. I haven't used my French since I was 10 so I used a translator to help since my vocabulary at 10 years old did not include these words.

@@HillbillyToolBox Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse j’avais une dernier question si vous aurais le document technique pour le 300 klf bayou et dernier chose quand je démarre mon quad on entend dans le moteur que sa tape comme si le piston taper dans les soupape et fait des gros retour dans l’échappement sa serais un réglage soupape ?

@@mehdio3463 For us English folks: Thank you very much for your answer I had one last question if you have the technical document for the 300 klf bayou and last thing when I start my quad I hear in the engine that it taps as if the piston hit in the valves and makes big return in the exhaust it would be a valve adjustment? My answer: Je n'ai pas le manuel de réparation mais je pense qu'il peut être acheté en ligne au format pdf. Le bruit de battement est probablement lié aux soupapes et/ou à une chaîne de distribution étirée. Il est très courant d'avoir une chaîne étirée qui affecte également les soupapes. I do not have the repair manual but I think it can be purchased online as a pdf. The tapping noise is likely related to the valves and / or a stretched timing chain. It is very common to have a stretched chain which also affects the valves.

@@HillbillyToolBox merci j’ai fait un réglage soupape depuis je nais plus les soupape qui tape et vous aviez raison ses bien a cause du carburateur qui ne démarre que avec le starter dans le carburateur le gicleur jet pilote à étais foire donc je dois changé le carburateur

@@mehdio3463 For us English folks: thank you i made a valve adjustment since i don't have anymore the valve that taps and you were right its because of the carburetor that only starts with the choke in the carburetor the jet pilot nozzle was screwed up so i have to change the carburetor My response: Sounds like you are making progress. Unless something is broken, you can usually rebuild by cleaning it thoroughly or if parts are needed you can buy a parts kit. Il semble que vous fassiez des progrès. À moins que quelque chose ne soit cassé, vous pouvez généralement le reconstruire en le nettoyant soigneusement ou, si des pièces sont nécessaires, vous pouvez acheter un kit de pièces détachées.

No. I just ran the tap through the existing hole. I recommend using a bolt with a small head for your oil bolt. otherwise you will struggle to install the bolt through the guard. This quad already had part of the guard removed by the previous owner who was trying to get better access in an attempt to repair the leak.

Glad to hear it! I try to keep them short and to the point!

Glad you enjoyed it

What year is the machine? Does it have anything else stamped on the cog?

Any time!

The rectifier is the voltage regulator. On the Bayou, it is typically mounted on the side of the airbag (left side from sitting position). The CDI is mounted on the back of the quad and you can see it if you look straight in under the back of the quad. I think it is on the left as well. The rectifier will have ribs on it to help keep it cool. the CDI will be smooth.

Have you tried to unjam the gear while someone rocks the machine back and forth?

@@HillbillyToolBoxi have and mine is still stuck

If you are kicking it and it isn't sparking, does the neutral light flash when you kick (assuming a good bulb)? If it doesn't, then test your stator, kill switch, and ignition switch. If the neutral light flashes, then test the pulse/trigger coil and if the resistance is good and it is creating an AC pulse, then test the signal from the CDI to the coil. If there is no signal there, the CDI may have failed (or it has a bad ground or power wire). If there is a signal to the coil, then replace the spark plug, test the primary and secondary windings in the coil, and make sure the coil wire is good. Let me know how it goes.
