I have a 300 4x4 that i am puttin a top end on. I do not know how to set the timing. can anyone help???

 

What year is it?

There are some timing marks on the cam that need to be lined up. If the year of your machine matches my service manual I can email you the steps it has for re-installing the top end.

I am not sure the year. im going to guess its around 2000. it was given to me.is there a mark on the chain and on the cam?

 

If you look on the left rear frame tube there should be either a sticker and or a VIN number stamped into the frame.

What you are looking for is something like 4UF05ATV........

The first 3 digits (4UF in my example) designate vehicle type and who makes it) the next two are the year (05) the the next three designate it as an ATV

This will let yo know the year and such such.

There are marks on the camshaft and the timing chain sprocket that must be lined up and the cam lobes need to be positioned as well. I have 3 pages of the service manual for the installation of the cam and timing chain scanned into the computer I can email you.

I found the sticker. it was 4UF03ATV. if you could email it to tgardner@pldi.net. thank you

 

From these numbers it was made in the USA by Arctic Cat in 2003. The remaining numbers in the VIN designate things like engine size and drive type.

You should have the pages shortly. There will be 3 images attached.
