need some help with sportsman again
i removed the rear plastics and gas tank to gain access to the motor so i could clean it up a lil to see if there were any leaks anywhere i used break cleaner since it dosent leave any residue and is non flamable i got a good portion of it clean before running out of spray after letting it sit for about 30 minuits i put everything back together an it started fine an ran for a second then died now it will start but wont idle it runs fine if you give it a lil gas but it will die if you stop. and ever since ive owned it the motor shakes alot at low rpms is this normal in the belt housing it looks like the pully has rubbed the back of the case

chances are the clutch cover is warped(alot of the older ones did) causing it to rub and will evently rub a hole through it unless it already has. i don't think excessive shaking is normal on low rpms. if it was idling fine it should be some what smooth w/ good throttle response. i'm assuming this is a 400 and did you change the oil in the harmonic balancer and make there is no leakage in or out. just a thought.

stendori you assume corectly its a 96 400 4x4 i forgot to put that in there lol. i changed the counterbalancer oil today and it barely had any in it i had less than 50ccs including the lil shot of seafoam i poured through it to clear out any debris im gonna try and get the carb out an cleaned tomorow an see what happens and i get alot of mixed answers about what type of oil to use in the rear tranny ive heard anywhere from 5w30 to 85w140 thats a big diffrence to be wrong something from the parts store would be ideal since the closest dealership is far thanks for the help i cant seem to find a manual that covers this perticular model that they dont want $200 for
