Anyone know if all the aftermarket oil filters have the words "outside" or "this side out" printed on them. The one that I removed from my machine has no wording on it and I was wondering if that was the factory filter. I purchased this quad a few months ago (june).

Ive only ridden it once but the more I look it over the more I see it wasnt taken care of. The front brakes were down to pure metal, the drive chain was sloppy and the axle nut was loose, cables had too much free play etc. I fixed most of the issues before my first ride except for fuel and valve adjustment.

Looking this quad over I don't know who jetted the carb and if it was adjusted afterwards. I was told it had a dynojet kit in it. Do the factory service adjustments apply to a jetted carb?

I don't have the room/road to do the engine shutdown/plug inspection technique. Should I just bring it the the Stealer and have them do it?

      2005 Bruin 350cc Oil pumping into airbox
      By BruceG
      Hi guys. I have a problem where the quad will start and run well for about 5 minutes and then it dies. On inspection the airbox has oil in it (quite a lot). The oil is pumping through the cylinder head breather hose. This problem first happened suddenly. I have since done the top end including, piston, gaskets, rings and valves. I have also done the carb (not that I thought that this was the problem). The compression seems normal. The only thing that I can think of, is that I did not grind the valves well enough. Anyone experienced this? If so, how did you fix it? Any other thoughts?

      I Ran across this video today comparing an aftermarket to OEM Carb on Suzuki Vinson, thought it might generate some interest, it is quite long but informative.

      1990 Suzuki King Quad 300cc Kicks and bucks when accelerating unless ignition switch is in LIGHT position.
      By Tuzz
      Bucking started about a month ago and works ok after 1/2 hour warmup.  Today while working on it i discovered that if i put the ignition switch in LIGHT position it runs fine right from the start.
      I'm stumped!  Any idea why this could be?
