I have a honda foreman es and had someone put rings in it because it was smoking,now after picking it up the carb. seems to be blowing out and the exaust is suking in,whats up,any ideas??????????

I'm guessing it doesn't run at all? The only way that would happen is if the timing was set completely backwards.

The timing has'nt been messed with,as far as I know.This is a wierd one.I also see that the push rods in it do not have the holes through them for the oil to be pushed back up to the rockers,im wondering if they put the wrong push rods back in here.I thought thats how the upper got oil to it.Its bone dry at the rockers and i see the holes in the rockers for the oil to come up but the push rods do not have holes running through them to push the oil back up and if so,maybe that has something to do with the travel on the push rods affecting the valves opening and closing the correct time,HMMMMMMMMMM

Oh yea,by the way,I buy and sell four wheelers as a hobby,I have a 98 300ex and a 04 ozark at the moment.I just sold a polaris 300 express friday gone and a 03 kodiak 450 sat.,and a 98 kaw.KX 250 sat. also.

If the timing was off I would at lest get a backfire of sort but the fuel is being pushed out of the carb,wierd,Im on the push rods being wrong somehow and causing an off travel affecting the valves opening and closing at the right time

The oil doesn't travel through the pushrods. There is another hole that feeds the oil to the top end in the head. If it's drawing air in through the exhaust and pushing it out through the intake then the timing must be backwards somehow or something of that sort.

That makes good sense,I'll check that tomorrow and see.But,it was running when it went in the shop,I dont know how the timing would get off?All that they said they did was put rings in it,but I will check that tom,thanks alot for the response.And thanks for the oil travel info to,was'nt sure about that.

No problem. I understand what your saying about the timing. If it's a pushrod motor they shouldn't have messed with the timing to change the rings.

Yep im going to check it out now,I'll let you know.

Were the valves been adjusted after the motor was re-built ..

They were way out and the exaust valve needs reseating and I will do that tomorrow.I set the vaves on it at a tight 5 and it still would'nt run.Thats when I pulled the head to find the exaust valve had lost its seat.I hope after I lap em in and put it back together it will fire up(cross your fingers ) hehe

I have set the valves after lapping them in and checked the comp. it just wont start,it tries just a little,driving me crazy

This thing is making me mad

If you have compression, air, fuel and spark it will run.

How much compression do you have?
