hey guys so i got myself a 71or 72 400e for a hunderd bucks. now you can probly imagine what condtion its in for that price. it didnt run when i got it and first thing i noticed is the tranny was lacking forward or reverse(one or the other). the motor that it has in it is a 500 suzuki spirit. when i removed the transmission and dissasembled it i found that the first gear on the input shaft was missing every tooth like completly busted off and whole teeth were left in the case

hello

Flooding at idle? Ideas????

The saga of the VA-6, OH160 continues here in northern ontario...
As my previous post says, managed to get the clutch off, changed the rings and piston, new head gasket and any other gasket I came across along the way. Put it all back together and after discovering that the spring on the carb for throttle was broken and the throttle valve would just bounce back and forth, causing flooding, put a spring on and all was well. It ran great, took it for a few trips back into the bush,...

Viewing by chance an ad in the local Kijiji coupled with some experience with a TJ a distant friend has led to an impulse purchase of a VA6 for me last week. Its story is likely similar to many. It has been through the mill with much of the underbelly looking like the surface of the moon with a few cracks, scrapes and bruises. The engine is a from a ski-doo safari 377. I can't stand how loud it is and the secondary clutch has been bolted together so it only runs in low. I see milky oil in...

VA-6 clutch removal?

feeds@yuku.com (redserge) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 11:41:20 GMT

The repairs continue to try to determine the lack of power with the OH160 engine and the next step is going to be new rings and piston. The problem now is trying to get the clutch off of the crankshaft. I see on other posts that it is a threaded shaft. Does the shaft of the clutch screw into the end of the crank? If anyone can give some clear directions on how to remove the primary clutch so it doesn't end up broken in my attempts, it would be appreciated.

Rim size

feeds@yuku.com (TJ400EIOWA) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 12:19:17 GMT

Does anyone know the rim size for terra jets i know the tire is 26x12-12 so i assume its smaller? right? like 12x11 also my wheel wont hold air due to corrosion they said so i used a wire wheel to get most of the corrosion off and it still wont so i was thinking about getting a tube for it, can i do that? so thats why i was wondering if i should get a 26x12-12 tube or is the rim not 12 in wide so i would need to find a 26x12-11 or something?

having problems with rear axle

feeds@yuku.com (MURPH76) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:55:17 GMT

ok......i've got the rear hubs off, have the bearings off (left and right, and the one on the R/S of chain housing), removed the snapring on the L/S of chain housing that was up against the chin sprocket. The chain sprocket is moving freely on the axle shaft and the keyway (keeper) also moves freely but does not come out. I belive i need to move the axle shaft to the right to give a little more room to get that keyway out. I have soaked down the shaft with penatrating fluid at all...
