Congratulations a seller that didn’t lie. Your skills came into play on this one. I like the mystery aspect as you did each step of the diagnosis. 😊😊

Since the cam timing was off on that cyl, may have to recheck the valve clearance, since the cams were out of phase at TDC. And compression may also be a little better with that fixed? Glad that it's running much better, and great troubleshooting!

@KenFullman Ай бұрын

I doubt they'll be affected. The valves are checked with the piston at TDC on the compression stroke. Both valves will be completely closed for at least 90 degrees before and after that, so one tooth of offset in the camshaft won't show any difference in the clearance.

@TexasRedneck there are 2 plugs on the right side under the tank. I believe 1white and 1grey. You have to flip the connectors, white to grey a and white to grey. It plugs right in. After that turn the ignition on and wait few seconds. Should be all good after that. Plug the connectors back In the right order. Its been about 2 years since I did it. I might be forgetting the sequence ignition on or off. There is a video about it on KZfaq. That is how I found out initially. Good luck.

Hey Joe, during your test drive in the yard of the Kawasaki, it sounds like there was a driveline whine, especially on deceleration. Best check the bearings or the joints in the driveline. With what has been neglected on that machine, I would bet the trans or the diffs may be low on or out of oil! Great job on this one for sure.

got a 2001 prairie 650 i got for $300 not running a year ago. went through the whole thing. those carbs are a pain to rebuild. only 80 hrs on the engine. everything you could imagine was stuck. don"t know how long it sat. primary clutch was the worst. very little money but a lot of hours later it runs like a raped ape and starts right up. watching your vids reminds me of what i went through. keep up the great content. even this 72 year old man has learned a few things from you.

i owned a 2010 650i Brute, awesome machine, would pull anyone out that I was riding with that managed to get stuck, loads of power. I had a similar issue before that involved a valve adjustment and worn rings. After a top end rebuild., the issues ended up being a defective reverse limit switch "weird" but the person I sold it to a few years later is still using it to this day and loves it, they are way more dependable than the 750s

when the thing would only go so fast my first thought was crack in a slide diaphram. then watching slide bounce while running i thought tight intake valve. but i certainly did not expect loose rockers! and with such low miles a ring problem. this thing was flush with problems. hopefully the rear cylinder comes around with some run time. good job working issues out!

Something to keep in mind is that this engine is almost exactly the same as the teryx you worked on last year. These Kawasakis have issues with the valves wearing out prematurely so there's a good chance the valves are burnt and bad.

Nice ATV, should be a quick flip! I thought of you and your great troubleshooting methods while watching another video. The guy was troubleshooting a chainsaw that was bogging down. Long story short, he ended up using a adjustable ignition system coil tester to verify the spark he did have was very weak. I'm not sure if you have one (haven't seen you use it) but it's a great way to test your coil strength as you can adjust the gap to pretty much whatever you want. Just because you have spark doesn't mean that it's good spark! It's definitely something I'm going to add to my toolbox.

I can shift into first and sometimes second but than I cant shift back down to first or neutral. If I turn the reverse knob than I can down shift but will go right into reverse. I'm not afraid to open the case but I don't want to do it for nothing. Like I said the engine is strong. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.
