I got my 350x axle ,and 350x wheelhubs for 100.00 shipped used from ebay...got luky and it came with a good sproket as well( the 350x and 300ex can use the same berring carrier,brake hub,antifade nut) .....the nice after market axles start around the 200.00 mark new ,and nice wheel spacers are around 120.00 a pair new .(and can result in a bent axle).if you like the way it rides leave it alone ,but i think it will ride better if its widened evenly front and rear...

lilc, looks like Y beat me to the reply, yes, that is where the reverse cable hooks up, what threw me was you are missing the little black metal cover just ahead of it, so it didn't look like my motor. Until that is hooked up, you won't have reverse available.

Good things:
1. Got the gasket on
2. no more leaks
3. It turned over

Bad things:
1. The battery was pretty much dead so when it did turn over it did it kinda slow.
2. after it turned over a little bit it ended up stopping since the battery is dead.
3. I put another battery in, it wont turnover anymore [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
4. I found a loose wire so i thought that was the problem, Nope still nothing
5. i changed the fuses, thought it might work, nope
6. ALL THE WIRING PRETTY MUCH IS WRIGGED UP. he wired up a Switch to start it and he wired up a kill switch by using speaker wire.

Anybody have any ideas besides saying i need pretty much a new wiring harness?
Im out of ideas.

The new battery i put in it is from my chinese quad (in one of the pics as you can see).

Maybe if i put the original battery in and then try to start it since right after i took the old battery out maybe just the starter switch came loose?
Be right back, im gonna try that.
