When you remove the chain tensioner, it will always come out fully extended, even if you have a new chain. The spring inside pushes it put while you lift the tensioner out. There's nothing pressing against the bottom.
for whats it worth man id take the valve covers off and look under there. make sure the valves are opening and shutting when they should and all the way. could be a broken rocker or bent push rod. your right it sounds like the timings out but idk how the pushrods go to the lifters then to the cam so i dont think there is a chain to jump. let us know what you find.
For brother..my next step is to check it the timing is off..or even the module could be faulty/shorten to ground..if these checks ok..then forsure topend coming off...never pulled HD topend so hoping its can be done easily without pulling the motor.
Believe this quad hit a topend rebuild as its needs it anyway..thats piston ring, bee timing chain and tensioner...these quad is also know to have this type of noisy issues.
Do you by chance know if that starter drive gear (bendix) is the same for all models? I’m working on an 04 650 quest XT and that gear was pretty beat up on mine and would no longer spin. They discontinued it for the 650s and I can’t find it anywhere. The gear looks identical to the other motors. Thanks
I may be dealing with the same thing on my 04. Any progress on that? The starter is new, but when I hit the starter button it just sounds like the engine is locked up but it isn't. Is that what's going on with yours?
Great video. I have a question i got 400a engine. I had spark before I took the engine off the bike n now i put it n my go cart now im not getting spark
Ok that’s cool, what was the low compression issue, is that because of a low voltage battery? I’m having the same issues and about to lose my mind! Lol any help or advice would be appreciated thank you
These early sportsman has pre mature wearing of the exhaust lobe ..if memory serves me. Thats the last thing you'd want cuasing low compression...so aside from the regular suspect rings, piston, cylinder valves clearance..see what your lobes look like.
Could internal issue with your shift mechanism..that means pulling the motor ..at very least first double check the shift linkage adjustments are properly adjusted.
My 05 Brute Force 750 goes into all gears except low. Someone told me it’s stuck in low even though the shifter is in the high position. Any suggestions?
