ok, so i adjusted my valves. only the exhaust was out of spec. i put the new shims in and rechecked them all and all were within spec now. now my quad wont start with the electric start. we pull started it and i put it in 2nd gear once we got goin and let the clutch out and it fired up instantly. i let it warm up for a few mintues and rode it around a little bit and it ran perfect, pulled hard and everything. i tried disconecting the PC3 and didnt do anything. i am stumped and wanted to see if you guys had any ideas.

u installed the chain tensioner incorrectly....u need to remove it, use a screwdriven down the center of it and retract it...with the tensiioner held (with screwdriver) retracted, install and tighten bolts....then release screwdriver

ok i get that but why do you have to do it that way?[/b]
its self adjusting like a ratchet system...basicially what u did is applied full extended adjustment of the tensioner instead of allowing the tensioner to adjust itys self to the correct chain pressure
