well finally found the real reason jt was running so bad. it was a ruined engine losing compression and killing itself slowly. it's knocking reeeeeeally bad now so I guess I'll have to find another subaru engine or a rebuild kit. where would I even look for those parts if for nothing else but...

I don't think you do, the entire harness is getting gutted so no speedo or anything but basically hardwired power to p/s, lift back and essential systems, and a toggle switch pump for the carb plus whatever jank is going to happen for the torque converter it's basically going to be a more...

see that's just it. it was a new filter but the rubber tube seal is weaker than the suction needed for the filter

the real problem is that the air system on these at some point (at least both of ours at very different times of the run of subaru motors that use honda African twin starters ) decide to bypass the filters entirely somehow and suck in dirt. his cylinders are also entirely gouged up from the...

coolant temp. rings from a friend's torn down engine (snapped crank because he tried to jump it) were weirdly thin and just not super well supported for scraping type oil control rings, I'm sure they work well at a single rpm but varying the rpm makes them not evacuate oil effectively it did...

first thing i checked just forgot to mention since at 125 hours they were perfectly fine, plugs are thr correct range and new ones changed nothing. choking the engine fully with a hand changes its running condition until the ecm adjusts

this one never idled for more than 5 minutes at a time but always would heat up in ~1 minute which isn't normal to my knowledge, my understanding is that the engine piston rings is a poor design based on how much oil it burned

it's actually cutting both injectors like it does at redline otherwise it would explode the spark arrestor, at least a quad I had did when it cut its coil signal during driving it

yeah it kept getting oil changes

nope, it's still sitting in 4 feet of snow, I'm kind of hoping a tree falls on it so I don't have to look at it poking out anymore, though from what I gathered from trying to start it. it was running extremely lean as it could no longer start with cold dense air unless i litterally snuffed all...

hope to God it's the latter. mine started to not jump during this issue and I know for a fact it's only because the engine doesn't have the power or rpm to make it engage as fast as before

thing is the only time it ran well is when the exhaust reeked of raw fuel, it almost doesn't have a smell at all anymore which is most definitely related, I may give it a full tear down this summer since kubota told me in the nicest possible way to go kick rocks

belt looks fine it's just really squeaky and doesn't really engage until 2500 rpm which wouldn't make the utv pop and sputter, spark arrester is clean

yeah it was on the tighter end of spec but still more than fine

yeah I changed my oil at 20 hours when I bought this second hand should have been a sign that he got rid of it with no hours on it I guess, just change your oil so you don't wreck the bottom end and adjust your gear position sensor, and my intake is perfectly clean seeing as I had to remove it...

I did, i had raised an issue with the 2018 honda/ subaru motor (starter is off of an Africa twin as are a few other random parts) almost a year ago now and kept getting told it was the seat belt or I was using It wrong so its a tad bit annoying now that everyone knows the engine is junk

should also mention it's oil has smelled like fuel but never put any significant amount in somehow

I have another thread but I'll sum it up, it got pulled off a trailer after a move and was fine for a few days of normal use but started not going above 30 anymore which I had attributed to the CVT belt wearing funny but the engine started pinging and running worse and worse and when floored...

go with a honda 3 wheeler, at least you can go fast enough to do some damage with that, or tow a single peanut

threw plugs at it and it's even worse, it's sitting in a snow bank because I couldn't even move it to plow so it can be in timeout with the crappy truck. anyways since mine is a 2018 with 40 hours and has issues with its engine it seems like it's part of the issue all of these have which on my...
