View Full Version : Backfire when trying to start 400ex?



06-18-2002, 09:17 AM
For some reason the timing chain had came off on my quad. Put that back on, and also replaced the head gasket. Got everything in time, all 3 marks on the cam line up with the T on the crankshaft.

When I go to start it, it just backfires and it will not start. Please help!

Have spark and plenty of gas.

I have a 2001 400ex with the 440 big bore kit, wb racing cam, ct racing pipes & headers, K&N filter and jet kit.

did you look if your valves wher still straight and closing perfectly ? Check also your clearance between rocker and valve !

I think your valves are not straigt anymore ...
