OK here it is:
I have never had ,my valves adjusted adn the other day my engine started ticking. So i quit riding it up untill today. I planned on adjusting my valves this week but then i talked to one of my friends that is head Mechainic for D and D racing. he said since i had never done it he could do it an show me how. We this weekend i was goign up to his houes to get it done. I am leaving tomarrow morning.
Today i put my quad back togeather for the truck ride. I wanted to started it just to make sure it still did. It started had becasue there was no gas in the carb.(I had the gas tank off) Once i got it started, everytime i reved it, it would blow smoke.(Has never done his) I sat there for a min just slowing reving it seeif the smoke would stop. Finally it did. I figured i would see if it was still ticking. I rode it down teh road listening and nuthign came. So i was like wow no more ticking.
Then i remembered:
The first tiem i took it apart to get ready to adjust the valves somone told me to see if the header to slip on connecioin was air tight. It wasn't so I siliconed it up. But i never started it after i siliconed it.
Could the silicone have made my valves go back to the way they were?
Why could the Ticking have stopped?
I now also hvae a loud scratching sound near my rear sproket. I adjusted the chain to correct play.(30mm-40mm) And the soudn went down but now it is a scratching sound like teh bearings have went.
Is that possible that hte bearing are gone or beat?
I also need a new clutch. Mine is beat. I can barley shift i have to slam the gears in. That is why I haven't been able to ride it i don't wanna ruin anything. And the clutch lever pull is wicked hard.
Can somone suggest a good clutch kit?
I would liek to get a Hinson one but they are to expensive. Anythig else is possible.
Thanks, Justin
