I hav a 03 bayou and i need to get the side engine cover off, problem is I took the manual pull start off and there is the piece that the pull start ataches too on the engine it is a 14mm bolt, i took it off and tapped it a couple time to c if it would come off and it is on pretty tight, ? is is there a special tool to take it off or is it just on there fairly tight

awk had a manuel for me but it is on my work computor, and that is the last place I want to go on my day off

get up with sicivicdude. i think he mentioned that he has a bayou. he's pretty knowledgeable.

 

[Awk08]

yeah, and i can't help ya on this one as my sons 99 lakota, which i believe that manual is specific for ???
did not have a pull start backup, electric start only.
but from what your saying sounds like a puller is needed, if a standard jaw puller fits ????
try it, gently

cant you DL that manual at home on your puter, the info to do it should still be in your pm's on here, or i could resend it ????

lemme guess, your on a phone ?????
i'll see if i can DL it here at my girls, and find what your lookin for ????

You've only removed the pull starter so far? The adaptor which has the prongs on it sticking up (the pieces the pull starter "grabs" to pull start the engine) has to have the bolt removed out of the middle of it. That actually is the flywheel bolt so it's very tight. Once that adaptor has been removed, the cover can be pulled off but the stator magnets are holding it on. It's difficult to get the cover to move out far enough against the pull of the magnets to get your fingers under it.

If you have a crank case splitter (pro motion or tusk style) you can use that to aid in the extraction. If not, you will have to VERY carefully pry the cover up. Once you get it out far enough to get your fingers under and past the pull of the magnets, the cover should pull straight out.

Once the cover is off, you'll expose the flywheel ( inverted from the blaster flywheel in that it faces "outwards", the oil pump drive gear (and depending on the model of bayou you have) the water pump assembly, starter drive chain and starter clutch or solid drive assembly (the bayou 400 has a solid gear drive from the starter to the flywheel and then a one-way bearing on the back of the flywheel, the bayou 185, 220, 250 and 300 have a bendix type assembly and then a chain going around a gear on the flywheel and then a one-way bearing).

Thanks every1 for all yur help and I now hav a 03 bayou oil leak free only problem was, that wasnt what was leaking lmao the fkn axle shaft cover was leaking, so 3 hours later and removing all the engine mounting bolts and sliding the engine foward enuff to get the cover off, i hav a oil leak free bayou and now i know how to remove an engine on a bayou lol

thanks again AWK for the manual

I adjusted the vales also and now she purs quite as a kitten

 

[sicivicdude]

ahhh the side gear case was leaking?

That's unusual unless the cases have been split and the gasket wasn't installed properly but that's not saying that it can't happen either... gaskets do leak sometimes.

Good to hear you got it fixed!

 

[GIXER7502006]

yea it was, I was suprised they r so close togeather i couldnt tell for sure wich one it was, so the flywheel cover was the most suspected since i saw rtv around it and knew it had ben off b 4, O well valves adjusted and no more leak thanks again guys

 

[Awk08]

sweet, glad the manual helped

 

[alex90]

some times especially on 4 strokes if they sit for a while or have been over heated the cases will leak and seep oil.. i will always recommend new gaskets over rtv

my family owns a 2002 bayou 220 that we use as a pit machine..and honestly those things were designed to leak oil lol,,,ive never seen one that doesnt leak..they love to especially leak around the head and the cam area..yet despite the leaks they all run for 20+ years and run as good as the day they were rolled off the line..they are an indestructible oily tank haha..i sunk mine once in a creek..pulled the plug changed the oil and she ran great,,i dont think you will ever break it

 

[sicivicdude]

The area he's describing is a right angle gear reduction box that hangs off the side of the crankcase to turn the driveshaft out the back (and drop down the front driveshaft if this is a 4x4 model).

Even overheating the hell out of the engine shouldn't turn that gasket...
