hey guys ,, got me a 2000 arctic cat 300 2 by 2 the guy i got it from said; all works fine but when i got it home a started to play around with it i found there was no high range ,, i tried a few things but nothing works ,, when i pull the shaft out in low idil in nutarl ...nothing ,, anybody know what might be wrong ,

 

Best that I can offer is, download a parts manual from <mymowerparts.com> .I have a 500 and a 400 and a Diesel. My wildest guess might be a bent shifting fork. The guy that sold it to you should pay to fix it!

 

This is the reason we test ride everything before we buy it! Start trouble shooting in all the Artic Cat forums..

 

he should return my bucks ,,but anybody that sells a lie has no conscience,, and im part to blame because i didnt know enough about these machines ,, now im stuck with a boat anchor,,

 

It's not a boat anchor. You need to find a competent ATV mechanic or Arctic Cat dealer. Mechanics that know what they are doing, will have it apart, fixed and put back together for $100-$200 , I'd guess. The 300 is a rugged little work horse. Fix it, if you don't like it, trade towards a bigger bike. That's why they call it "Live and Learn". Most people are honest, most.

 

thanks Hydrex ..thats what im going to do ,, going to do some home work first .

 

We have all done that and learned our lessons, especially us older folks. Depending on just how mechanical you are it maybe something you might tackle yourself. There are some good mechanics out there that just might be willing to help you out if you decide to do it your self. As Hydrex stated get it done and then decide if you want to keep it, if you get it fixed and cleaned up real nice you might have a real nice bike.

 

well i'v owend a old shovelhead harley , done all the work myself , except interior motor work , ,, shouldnt be not much wrong with this atv ,, we will have a look soon as weather warms alittle ,,,

 

Nice , when it's fixed , you'll like it. Looks like they put foot pegs for riding 2 up. I'd take em off. Never meant for 2 up riding, could tip over backwards very easily. Yes, once you look at the parts manual, or better a service manual, they are not so different than a motorcycle.

 

do you know if i can download a manual ,, been looking can;t seem to find one ,,
