Dear All,

My friend has a Sportman 700 whit hydraulic lifters. On this bike it is buliding up a pressure in the valve cover when we are turning the engine around. We see the plastic valve cover moves up and down during turning the engine.

This happens also when both sparkplugs are out.

Any idea what can caise this?

Surely air pressure can't flex the cover. If it did, the cover would flex so fast running it would crack in no time.

Check the engine breather is clear and breathing, but then if it keeps doing it I'd suspect the cover is getting pushed from the inside. I know nothing about those tngines but is it possible the cover is on backwards or something, no gasket perhaps, and the valves are hitting ?.

      Trail Tire Valve Replacement
      By Gwbarm
      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      Clutch cover 2007 Honda trx500fe
      By Ejwill
      Well while I was waiting for new parts for the choke, I decided to adjust the clutch. When I removed the lock nut, I found the guy I bought it from or someone else had stripped the threads on the adjustment rod. I couldn’t get the adjustment rod to turn without putting a pair of channel locks on the screw driver, this was telling me something was wrong. So now the rod pushes in and out and spins freely too freely. So guess I’ll have to take the clutch housing off to see what’s going on and replace the adjustment rod, it’s threads are beyond repair, and there is something going on with the adjustment rod. If there’s another way please let me know. The further I go the worse it gets. Thanks for any help.
