    Nice work on that one! I picked up one in my neighborhood for free last weekend. Neighbors put it on neighborhood marketplace and said if anyone could fix it, come get it. I was that guy and could not get there fast enough. 2002 Foreman 450 S. It definitely has/had some issues. The bottom of the case had a hairline crack that had been poorly sealed up. I cleaned that up and resealed it to where it has stopped the oil leak. I ran it for about 5 minutes last night. Engine sounded smooth. I can hear an exhaust leak. I did notice the top end base gasket has oil spewing out, so I will have to pull the top end and inspect as well as replace that gasket. It needs a battery and the seat re-covered and then I think it will be a good ole work horse like all of those Hondas are!

    I have to same one. I had some starting issues and when I hit it with a little starter fluid it started running with no more issues. I use to take it out on the trails before I only started using to plow snow. Now that the NE doesn’t get much snow anymore I want to get her back on some trails. Thanks for sharing.

    I would recommend getting a good set of strikeable JIS screwdrivers. Watching you take the carb bowl off with a regular Phillips and an impact made me pucker lol those things are so easy to strip. I have a 42 year old CB650 without the proper bits I would have stripped every screw

      Hi. Is that the cleaner you used on the four wheeler and or the carburetor? I own a 94 Polaris 400L and used a jump box and it blew all of my lights on my machine! Wish i would have just bought a new battery at that time but was going to set up some tree stands and of course pull cord broke as well! Took a while to replace them all and still need to figure out my AWD light? Thank you and have a good day

Also, I’m not sure why your lights blew using a jump box unless there is something wrong with the box. People use a jump box all the time. Did you check to see if it has a fuse that blew on the machine?
