I just read through this whole thread,and I think it should be titled "Stay away from 4 Stroke Tech,if you are a hot head". LOL

At the first part of this thread he says he was warned about me. What that means is if you are a dick head to me and talk to me like dirt I'm not going to be nice to you. I build high performance motors because I like to,I enjoy it,I live for it! But if you are a hot head and start telling me how to run my business and try to push me to do something I can't do,then heed the warning and stay away. I don't like dealing with this kind of stuff and I may come across harsh when someone trys to bully me, but like I said I like building cool fast motors and I can't do that when you are a dick head to me. Do I understand everyone wants everything yesterday,yes. We all live with this microwave mentality in these days,but that doesn't mean it's going to happen that way in the real world with real problems. I think Mr. Alleva is starting to learn from this,I hope, or he'll go through it again and again until he does.

Engine building is a tuff business to be in,if it were easy everyone would be doing it. This marks my 25th year in business as Four Stroke Tech,but I have been building my own motors and worked for other performance shops for 40 years. Hopefully everyone see's what has happen here and learns from it. Mr. Alleva did things wrong and it now has cost him way more money then it would have, 3 more months, and he still isn't riding.

      1st problem, Does anyone know where I can find a stock carb for my Timberwolf, I have tried two different aftermarket carbs and they both suck. The machine runs great until it gets good and warm, then it keeps stalling unless I feather the throttle. it will even stall while I'm trying to go from 1st to reverse or vise versa. I took it to a buddy of mine who is a bike mechanic for years, and he told me try to find a factory carb. When I look online from dealers it says "NOT AVAILABLE" anyone have any suggestions ?
       
      2nd, The small tab on the rear axle for towing is to short for even pulling my small yard trailer, I can't even turn a little bit and hit hits. I tried making an extension which worked great as far as length, but it bends the tab and then the extension drags the ground. I have an idea of what to do to fix it, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and see how you solved it.

      I finally got around to working on the TRX, this has been an ongoing problem with this machine. This is a machine that we keep on my Fathers property, i dont see it that often, my brother haad it professionally repaired last year and year before same problem, the new starter gears and bypass gears last about a year and the machine is not used that often, he said he was done with it , so i thought i should go take a look. Sure enough the gears were all malled again. 
       

       

      IMG_4910.mov   There is some slack in there but most is taken up by the gear cover,if anyone with history with these machines has had the same problem, let me know your findings. Where i am now im looking for finding replacement honda gears on Ebay and try those. I suspect the original was replaced with aftermarket gears years ago and they just worse quality as the years go by.

      I get it, turn counterclockwise will decrease, turn clockwise will increase.  My question is what exactly am i increasing or decreasing? Is it clutch pressure? In many videos i've seen it's always "turn counterclockwise" until you feel resistance then back off. Why is it always to decrease? 
      I'm just curious as to what exactly is going on when i turn that screw right or left. And, since there's no manual clutch to engage or disengage, what is going on inside? 
      Reason why i'm asking is while going down a hill in 1st gear, it appears to pops out of gear, but no neutral light, and if i stop, it's in 1st gear still. BUT, (always a but) if the engine is warmed up, it stays in 1st gear. The hill is too steep to use any other gear, so 1st with the brakes is the only way to go down.
