do I need any special tools to replace the cam on a 250 Mojave I have to replace the intake cam is it easy can anyone help me here with the steps or send me a fax from the maintance book Help how do I find top dead center, I'm doing this for a kid who is fatherless and I feel the need to help him and his mom thx ATV Forum guys. HELP FAST....

 

Use the KAW oem part finder for an idea of how things go together, TDC is easy just remove the 2 screw in plugs on the mag cover. The one near the top will let you see the mag it has a T and an F marked on it. T=TDC and F= when it fires. The center plug is for a socket to turn the motor over, makes it easier than the kicker. Remove the timing chain tensioner, this thing is self adjusting so when you put it back you'll need to take out the bolt in the end of it and use a strait screw driver to wind it back up to reinstall after the new cam is ready. As you know there are 2 cam's IN and EX, the sprocket on the end of each one has a dot, to time the cams the dots will be level with the top of the head. Look close at things on TDC before you take it apart, it's easy to do realy, I hope my bit of info helps. No special tools only metric tools. only my 2 cents.

 

Hitman, you are the man thank you so much going out in the garage to do this things sounds as it is just like the honda 400ex I have wanted to check with a person that has the know how, thx you again....

Huskerjim, I take my hat off to you for helping out that kid. Lt. Dan

 

Hey Hitman- how big of a deal is it to adjust the timing chain on the 'jave. I'm getting ready to do a cam swap on mine.Thanks

 

I'm glad you got that kid's majove going and, 4-strokes are all close to the same. Do one and you can figure out any other. Your a good person for helping out the kid. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

kwackermann, the timing chain tensioner is self adjusting like I said in my post to huskerjim, good luck on the cams. only my 2 cents.

 

Thx Hitman/Diver, I would do this for any young one weather friends or not I would want someone to help my wife if ever anything would happen to me I feel for kids that don't have one of the parents I know how important it was for me to have my parents when I grew up.
