How to rebuild/repair the starter motor on an older Honda ATV. Model shown is a 1986 Fourtrax 350, but the process is similar for many 1980’s-1990’s Honda three and four wheelers. Part number used: Celox 271489350037
what size is the needle bearing? mine has melted and the one in my kit not only doesn't fit well, but is a whole eighth of an inch smaller than the old one.
I just did this with my 2001 Rubicon. Rebuilding a starter is not complicated but i dont suggest it for anyone who is not at least a little mechanically inclined. Now if they would only start selling a kit for the shift motor, i dread paying the $200 for one of those when its time, and I learned my lesson a long time ago about using the cheaper Chinese replacement stuff. Buy Honda brand parts and you'll only have to replace it once if you're capable of doing it correctly.
