    I always wanted a big red,fine machines. 💪

  • @jasonziegler1400

    Great video! I had a new Honda 300 4X4 in 1993, they are a great quad. I did a lot of work and had a lot of good times with it. Due to some hard times I had to sell it in 1995, I would love to find another one to restore some day. Used quads are insanely expensive over here in the states lately, if you find one cheap it's usually trashed.
    Enjoy your project.

    • @IFarmWeFarm
      @IFarmWeFarm  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I do watch a lot of quad fixing video’s from the states, loads of them do say they get these quads for free or for next to nothing, never could understand that. Second hand quads are expensive here too, and it’s hard to find anything decent. Parts are crazy expensive, i used to get a lot of my parts on eBay but now the delivery cost have triple there too unfortunately

    Sadly with Honda as you seen with the tierod ends. All parts come separately, aftermarket ones are roughly the same price but that’s because the come with the nut for it. Great quads had a trx300 1998 from brand new and eventually the rust left a snapped frame, was only worth scrap then. 8 months late but enjoyed the vid Adrian 😂 👌

    You get her fixed and she will do your job as good as a brand spanking new one. Im not familiar with this exact engine but if it has a timing chain you may have to manually adjust the tension on it to stop the rattle from the top end, im still using a 1985 Honda 250 ES Big red trike on the farm and I've had to adjust the timing chain twice now to stop the rattle in the 27 years I have owned it

    • @IFarmWeFarm
      @IFarmWeFarm  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ya I have to have a look at the tensioner first of all and the valve clearance. But with that smoke she must have either bad rings or valve seals

    • @madeljacky
      @madeljacky 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@IFarmWeFarm correct, worn rings, worn valve guides or valve stem seals, lift the head and the cylinder off and it will soon become clear where the oil is burning from, most Honda quads I have fixed it is the oil control rings have lost their tension that is the main problem, the bore is like new but the rings are scrap, a quick hone of the cylinder with new rings, seals and gaskets has her running like new again.
