No Start Kawasaki Bayou 300 Mystery, What Went Wrong?

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2024
  • Bought this 2001 Kawasaki Bayou 300 for $375 last week. I was told that it had an ignition issue and would not start. Set it up with the portable CDI box and a PZ27 carburetor and it still would not start. Compression seemed a little low, and it did not sound quite right when attempting to start it. Found that whomever timed the cam last used the wrong timing marks. For the next video, we will retime it and get it running!

    This is why I watch! I can repeat what I've learned from others but not do an in depth diagnosis. Keep them rolling Harvey

      Hey ATV Seat Exchange!!! I bought some seat material that I'll show U in tomorrow's video, I need an opinion on it from an expert! Thanks for the kind words on the video, I just hope to keep as many ATVs out of the scrap yard as possible! Thanks also, for Ur thoughts, watching, and commenting!!!

    Wow, Man you are a professional. That is a lot of knowledge you are putting out without hesitation in your processing. Thanks for the video. Like ATV Seat Exchange said-"Keep them Rolling".

    As always a good video. I like the way you explain every step of the process. I'm dealing with a cam, valve problem. The camshaft will turn a quarter rotation before it makes contact with the rocker. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

      Hey Steve, Oouch, that had to hurt! Sorry that Ur ATC gave U a broken leg! It is amazing, one can race, off road, and show off and not get hurt, sometimes, a little ride around the property leads to someone getting hurt! Thanks for the cautionary tale, watching, and commenting!!!

    Valves will be fine, you can fix this quickly by removing, the tensioner and the camshaft nut rotating valves 180 degrees and putting them back. This is easy enough and shouldn't take longer than 1 hour. This is a common problem when the engine is rebuilt.

    I have a kvf360 prairie. 2003. It kind of does the same thing. It kind of burps out the carb and it will occasionally backfire at exhaust. New carb, good spark. Any suggestions? Start with valve adjustment and compression check?

    Did you rebuild the motor or just part it out? Not too expensive, a big plus.

    Even before I see it, there are 3 types, no stretch without plenty of heat, 2 way stretch[ say north and south] and 4 way stretch[ limber like a gymnast] so with this knowledge you can better describe what you have. What a normal piece of material would measure 36in x54in, I just bought a triple section of no stretch for $20.91 at the Walmart. Later

      Hey Bud... Interesting.... I was going to put the cam in the right position, pull the chain tensioner and cam bolt, spin the crank to TDC. then hop the cam sprocket to the right place.... Then, put it all back together..... The trick is to not drop the chain!!! Thanks for Ur thoughts and advice on that.... Thanks also for watching and commenting!!

      @@HarveySpooner yea I didn't mention you know taking chain off sprocket just tie wire to chain hang it over head side so it doesn't fall in ( but if it did real easy to pull back up with long magnet) put sprocket back on cam semi tighten bolt roll sprocket to timing marks on cam ( may have to loosen rockekers but I can usually roll them around under spring tension ) then take sprocket back off put chain on bolt her back to cam you should be in time just don't turn crank shaft till your done ( like most things more than one way to do it and still get same results that's just how I do it thanks sir keep up the great work sir!!!!!

    • @HarveySpooner
      @HarveySpooner  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey MrBreandon!!! The way I use them, intermittently, they seem to last around a year with good alkaline batteries, if one is idling along, that would last a day or 2, figure around 10-12 hours....If one is romping it, running it up toward red line.... 4hrs or so.... I hope this helps.... Thanks for asking, watching, and commenting!!!
