Bought this 1998 Honda Fourtrax 300, with a broken timing chain. Let's throw a new one in and get it back to the trails!!!

I have one of these and it's the best bike I've ever had I've ran the he'll out of it since 96 and this is the first problem I've had with it other than tires and brakes

Timing chain? Brakes definitely seem to be a common issue. I have another video of installing a disc conversion on the front, which helped immensely! This was my first one but definitely a fan of it!

Just replaced topend of one (new piston, rings and jug) didn't replace chain- look good and fairly tight- i now have a fairly loud ticking noise? Any guesses? Plan to replace chain tensioner as it won't stay tight like it should
@weekendwarriorpowersports Жыл бұрын
Easy way to check if it's the chain/tensioner. Pull the tensioner, and shit a screwdriver handle against the guide. If the noise goes away, check the tensioner. If it's springy and snaps right into full.extend it's good, chain is stretched. Have you checked the valve clearance? Could be out of spec. I'd check the tensioner/chain cause you don't have to remove the tank. Then do valves if need be.

I have a 1994 Honda 300 tried to adjust valves ; I can tun the Allen had bolt clockwise but flywheel don’t move.? Any ideas thanks

Very useful video thanks! I don't think you showed what position to put the cam shaft back in? Any advice on that?
@weekendwarriorpowersports Жыл бұрын
The engine needs to be at top dead center (TDC) compression stroke, indicated by the "T" on the flywheel. The cam has 3 marks on the gear. The center mark will be pointed up and the other two parallel with the surface of the head.

Make sure can lobes are pointing down and not opening valves or it will be 180 degrees off

Is their a mark to align the clutches when u put them back in or can u just put them back in and your good to go? I'm doing my timing chain on my 96 300 4x4
@weekendwarriorpowersports Жыл бұрын
Do you mean aligning the transmission clutch and centrifugal clutch? No, they don't have an alignment. Just gotta get the adjuster through the case.

They're the same as 300ex. Got mine on ebay.

I can’t believe you didn’t replace the chain guides while you were in there.

Question, and before I post it I’ll admit I have not the slightest clue honestly just trying to save a heck of a fourwheeler everyone has given up on. Can you test the timing like this as well?
@user-hv5kr5uf6q Жыл бұрын
Like take the caps off, and check and turn till I see it? I think the issue is it’s not in time even though it’s been lined up
@weekendwarriorpowersports Жыл бұрын
You have to take the Rocker Cover off to check timing. The caps are just for valve adjustment.

@user-hv5kr5uf6q 2:36-3:ish in the video is where you'd want to start. Take off the gas tank and then all the 10mm bolts. Set the flywheel at TDC 16:03 in the video. And then the cam would be parallel with head with a center line pointed up. __ | __ Like that.

OE Honda. I've had good luck with the cheap ones on low RPM engines like these though.
