After letting the Honda 400ex sit overnight, it wont start back up again. I end up going through the entire machine. I also attempt to fix the excessive smoking problem it has. Should I fix it or scarp it? #Honda, #400cc, #Clapped,

@tomphillips2473 3 года назад

Great Vid! The only way oil gets into combustion chamber from the valves is a leaking valve seal. That is the purpose of the seal :-) Carbon build up around the valve and opening can cause compression issues. Going thought this now on my 87 XR/XL600 rebuild.

@JumperXxXCables Год назад

A trick I like use when putting the valve keepers in is put some grease on a screwdriver and put the keeper on the grease then install. The grease will squirt out the top and you can wipe it off. It won't hurt anything. One thing I saw was that you didn't reseat the valves. You had them out probably should of.

@kebabexplosion 3 года назад

Fix it, there is not a limitless amount of these and the cost to fix it up will at worst be a few hundred. The time you invest in figuring out what is causing the issue is just adding up to your knowledge/experience so you are doing the right thing there (even at some times I can say that I do think huh, how could he miss that, but as you are learning that is what you are meant to do) . I like that you got the bb kit, that is something (add a hot cam as well) that wakes these bikes up really well.

@grodysspot1664 3 года назад

its funny were actually doing very similar things to our quads at the same time. you got a much better deal on your quad then I did and mines ended up having only 10psi compression and I purchased mines for almost 2x price so your winning in my books. its my first quad and I kinda wanted some build content for the channel so im not butt hurt but it would have been nice if the seller had been straight forward about everything . keep it going man. maybe one day you can have a subscriber meet and ride some trails or something!

Good job man! Do you think it can keep up with the 450 since it has that cam? Maybe Chuck needs to revisit.

@1ksquid07stuntlife6 3 года назад

Not a bad machine for the money . U def have a 2nd gear issue that gonna require a tear down to diag before it before it causes a serious problem . Also with it having a hot cam it could stand for some more main jet . I'd play around with that . As I've stated in some other videos normally smoking under throttle or load is caused in the piston / ring area . My guess is they rebuilt the top end and did not set rings in correct orientation / possibly scraper pointed up instead of down. Looking forward to the 440 build on the other bike . Keep pushing love the vids.

@bernhard8540 3 года назад

Usually the most common part to go bad with the 400ex's that has to do with the spark is the cdi box and stator i chased a problem where the 2004 400ex would fire right up and run great and then after it got warm it would take more than 1/4 throttle and it would bog down replaced coil and stator etc and finally what fixed it was the cdi box haha it was a pain cause usually they never go bad its mostly likely the coil normally.. some machines just have the weirdest of things that are the problem haha

The air fuel screw was not stripped they are like that from 2000 and up so you can’t mess with them do to emissions

@xfiringsquadx 3 года назад

Yeah my 2005 Yamaha Raptor 350 had a little metal plug that I had to drill through to reach the screw. Makes no sense that they started doing that. Manufacturers act like the only reason it gets used is to run rich and gain power but that's not always the case. Maybe that's the case with this Honda because he did say it was fully seated but that wasn't the case with my Yamaha. After I drilled through, my screw was 2 turns out.

@getitdone361 2 года назад

Always wanted a bug eyed 400ex since I was like 10 and first saw one but kinda always picked different atvs I don't really like buying used but I just ended up trading my dirtbike for one and finally got my hands on one super happy running lean and carb leaking fuel but got a new carb on order with some jets and got a big gun exhaust coming to I just don't like what's on it now.

@Boogerboys1990 3 года назад

The water probably came from the vent tube and condescension in the tank. Water sinks filler ur bowl. Be my guess. Valves not closing will have no effect on smoking. Only the smoothness of it running. You can't know for sure the rings are worn without checking end gap and thickness. Even with a perfect bore. The rings can be worn. That's why they smoke first to let you know. I would of used a welder and a 1/4 rod to get that stubbern bolt out. A drill a mandrel a tube and some Polish for metal compound you can do a poor man's valve lap job. Good job man. Learning, riding and living.

@alexkokennn6198 3 года назад

Nope, Thats piston slap. Typical in the 400EX, hence the reason is smokes so bad. Rings are shot.
