If the neutral light doesn't come on, you need to pull in the clutch when cranking

The advise so far is good. Trying to deal with various issues while dealing with a bad battery is a good lesson in futility. As far as the crank bearings go -pull the plug and the cover on the left side of engine. Put a wrench on the bolt and see if motor turns. Have you talked to your...

Getting it apart can be an issue if there is rust. The bearing races like to hang on tight. Putting it back together is easy. Don't skimp on the water resistant grease. Some people like to put a grease fitting on the carrier when it is apart. Get the grease off the threads where the double nuts...

inspect your harness where it goes around the frame to the CDI. Pull the rear plastic, unplug cdi, feed harness back around. It happened to both of my Warriors in a 2 week period.

make sure your caliper is sliding on the pins smoothly. The one that is a pin bolt has a tendancy to freeze up. take them apart and grease. If the pin bolt is frozen, remove it somehow without damaging the caliper. It costs about $5, much less than a caliper. If a boot comes out, replace it (buy...

Its a very basic system. You bleed the brakes, caliper is not frozen -its the master cylinder, unless fluid is dripping out somewhere. Its an 88 and probably still has the original - as was already said -Ebay it

From what I am sorting through you have 2 issues. 1) you can only get it to crank by jumping the starter solonoid. 2) once it is cranking, it is not firing correct? if my assumption is correct, I would get a can of contact cleaner and open every connection that was messed with and...

I have drifted off into an old fart and the body can't take the abuse of the Warriors anymore. So today I traded in the Warriors for a new 700 Grizzly - IRS, EFI and power steering. Got a deal on the camo, which is good after spending 3-4 weeks trying to get the plastic looking good again...

absolutely, any metal that was cast was not designed to bend, period. A slightly bent frame or A-arm is one thing, cast metal is another. I guess you need to picture in your head what would happen if it snapped at the most inconvenient point of a hill climb furthest from the parking lot. A...

is the nut the same size as your valve adjust lock? Maybe somebody did a double nut and one came loose or it was floating around in there a while. All the same, heads effed up -time to move on.

correct answer -exalt another good answer ::)

You were talking like the oil change was to stop the smoking issue --i missed something there. The only real way to check is pull the jug and check the gap. If you can get your hands on a set of inside micrometers, check and see if your cylinder is still true while it is open

333, lets use a little common sense here. You are planning on pulling the motor, which sounds like the right thing to do at this point. Your burning lots of oil, contemplating changing oil to fix that problem, yet your clutch is slipping. You really need to step back, get a service manual...

A few thoughts - how long was it under? If you have good spark, try a shot of ether. If it fires, then it is carb. Did the airfilter take on water? May want to try starting with it off. Did you stand it up on the rear tires? Need to drain the exhaust first thing (ya, been there done that -...

The T is the mark. You need to pull the plug on the tensioner to unload the spring prior to removal. In doing so, you can see how many "clicks" are left before it is fully extended (fully extended means "new timing chain"). When reinstalling it, compress it fully, install, then add spring...

There is no oil that will make any significant change to your topend issues. I wouldn't try any oil additves for old engines as there is no telling how it could react with the clutch. Have you considered just putting in a new set of rings ($30) and a lower cylinder gasket. It wouldn't be a...

you should buy a service manual and ohmmeter before opening the package for the rectifier and CDI. You can get a copy of the OEM service manual @ebay motors on disc for about $10. All electrical parts can be tested (except the CDI)!!! Now, your problem. The 2 most common cures for a no spark...

I am with Dave -replace it. Rigging your machine will catch up with you. It may work or you may just get to do it right the second time
