I re adjusted the carb and valves today so is running well. Got a feller gauge and opened the gap on the plug to 0.23 as the book advised.
Still hard to start. The manual choke seems to flood it.
Watched the variater and it is only letting the belt out 1/2 way when riding it. This thing used to go like a bat out of hell. I used to push round rolls of hay with it.
Adjusted the gear cable a bit but not sure if it made a difference. It is atleast coming up the driveway a bit better but still real slow. Tried coming up the lawn up which is steeper and it just sat there.
Stopped at the Honda dealer and he is getting me a set of roller weights to see if that helps. I also ordered a new belt online to see if that helps.
This atv has 321hrs x 10 so guess that is about 3210 hrs. I do not think the gauge is working anymore. The trans fluid that come out when I changed it was milky looking. Must have had water in the fluid.
Again thanks guys for all the help
