OK.So, I have used all of the advise on the forum for my previous question and am now convinced I will be replacing the semi auto clutch on my sons chinese atv.It's a honda knockoff and I am actually looking for advise or instructions on how to get it done.I am going to take it apart,but any advise would really be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

 

If you'd like a manual on the engine find a Clymer- Honda 50-110cc Ohc Singles, 1965-1999 repair manual. Here's a link to one http://shopping.msn.ca/prices/shp/?itemId=6200200


I've had the manual clutches apart before but not the semi auto ones. I know our little 110 is geared a bit high in 1st.

If you go on Raceway's site under parts they show a picture of the clutch assembly for a 110cc.

 

I have replaced mine with the same Honda friction pads. It is actually very easy. Seems how that was my first time ever working on a quad. The nut holding the basket in place is notched. I just found a old deep well socket and grinded off all but two tabs. I believe it was 11/16 but not sure. Also used an impact to remove. Once that was off just take off the retaining clip on the back. I would take the pads out and lay them on the bench in order so you know how they go back. After you put it all back together you will notice a big difference in take off.

 

I finally replaced the clutch discs.Not much to it actually.Found one of them smooth as a baby's bottom.It's back up and running and moving like it should.Does anybody have info on setting the timing?

 

You should not have to worry about timing on it as you didn't take the head off or camo & mess with the timing chain.... they are fixed gear driven, no adjustment on them.

 

Thanks for the info.The thing starts hard when it's cold out.So hard I'm concerned about burning out the starter.Once it starts backfiring through the exhaust we know it's going to start.Thought the timing might be adjustable.Thanks.Any other ideas?

 

Change the spark plug to a NGK C7HSA & be sure your air/fuel screw is set at or around 1 full turn out.... this seems to be the magic spot for anything we work on. Make sure the valves are both set at .004 TDC also.

 

Backfiring may be sometimes caused by problems on ignition system such as a malfunctioned CDI or some contact intermittent at wiring connecters as well as problems on carburetion, spark-plug or tappet clearances as spliffy stated. Just allow me suggest checking them, please. Hope your quads would be fine.
