As a mechanic of 40 years, enjoy your videos. Your skill set is good.I just recently fixed up an exact model like your a few days ago but in rougher shape.Yours appears mint even has rear hatch cover which I never see.These are incredible machines and up there with the Big Reds.I buy them up when I can get at a reasonable price.

I have the exact machine. I purchased from my deceased neighbor's son before the estate sale for $1300. It's a work horse. Glad I found your channel for more RU-vid tips on maintaining it. I just learned how to get rid of the engine knock from this video. Thanks! 😊

@SaturnTruck 2 года назад

If the starter gears were chewed up, it’s possible something internally caused it. My 87 ATC 250ES had damaged gears and I found out that indicated a bad one way bearing on the flywheel side. Ended up doing one way bearings on both flywheel and clutch sides to be safe. Nice machine - Honda’s are the best!

@TheCuttingtorch 2 года назад

Looks 100% original. The oil cooler fan should only run as needed by the sensor. Im not sure how it was determined that it wasnt working properly. My guess is someone saw it wasnt working and thought something was wrong. The oil cooler keeps the oil from breaking down so it always lubricates. It doesnt stop overheating. Its an air cooled engine.

@MrTaylormadetech 2 года назад

Perfect except your solder work … you are painting the solder on … apply soldering iron for a few seconds below the wires and then feed solder from above the iron and up the wire … the heat will travel up the wire and the solder will seep into all the spaces.

I broke mine! I used blue locktite on the bolts that attach the gear to the camshaft and they still walked out and destroyed the chain (torqued to spec). I had to buy a whole new (used) head and cam and used red locktite and no problems yet. Not recommended but just what I felt necessary. I also put on a new manual chain tensioner that fits an old Honda CBR and fits perfectly.

@tonyeaton3886 2 года назад

I have this exact machine. I got it from my brother, who bought it from the original owner some 20+ years ago. It has a stack of receipts, including the original purchase from the dealership in 1986. It also has an original, never used, Honda shop manual. It doesn't have so much as a fingerprint, crease, or rip, and the pages are not yellowed. The machine isn't quite as clean as the one in the video, but it always starts with ease, and drives great!

@bigjay6743 2 года назад

We have an 87 on the farm and it's been used just about every day since 1987 Mind you it has been gone over quite a few times But a new part here and new part there and it has always gotten the job done. Only problem now is if anything major does break parts are almost impossible to find. We figured it has between 6000 to 8000 hours Run time Could be more could be less just a figure.

@MJIKS22 2 года назад

I have an 86 trx350. It’s a love hate with these. The front solid shaft is tough as can be but the parts are hard to find. You HAVE to get original fuel pump and CDI for it. Aftermarket for those two items do not work. Fuel tank likes to rust like crazy too. Awesome machine that clean and complete for $1,300.

I am so glad I found this video! I just bought one of these for $550 from a guy who owned it for 23 years, however, it is not quite as pretty. Runs really good but smokes a bit. I was told the valve seals are known issues on these units. Going to use it at my property for work and probably fix it up over time. My second one of these, sold the first years ago.

@brookematthews8204 2 года назад

When you solder something first of all melt a little bit on the end of the iron then place the iron on the underside of the wires to be soldered, then apply the solder to the wires you'll find it so much easier. Solder follows/flows to the heat so by having it underneath it helps.

@dustcommander100 Год назад

My brother-in-law had a similar model. It would occasionally break the gear teeth when being switched off, because the engine would bounce off compression as it stopped, and the one-way bearing engaged the starter. I didn't live close by, and there was no internet then, so I was unable to help. He eventually traded it for another brand without us ever understanding the root cause. Looking back, I wonder if there was a problem with an automatic compression release not working.

Those gears are from an 85 that housing will get chewed out if you don't get the correct ones for it and a new centrifugal clutch one way bearing as well it is the reason the original gears got damaged. It's well worth the cost of the right parts as it's more expensive to replace the crank shaft from the old worn out centrifugal clutch one way bearing tearing it up.
