Hi guys!

Working on a buddys LT250, found the vin: JSAAJ45a 9L2106329   Get some help with the year? He didn't know, thinks it's a late 80's. This one needs lotsa luv!

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the info and the welcome AJM. Had not discovered that link, sweeeeeeeeeeet! Ol, KZ rider here. Been knuckle busting for a few decades now, hope to get more info and contribute here, as I can.

 

 

Cheers!

Yea, I know.... should start a new thread.

 

So, the oil (If you wanta call it that) was almost water. Flowed out freely! Oil/filter/seals, done. Still would not idle properly. Pulled the carb and found the main jet sitting in the bowl. That's NOT good. Reinstalled, buttoned everything back up and she's (almost) golden! Runs good, idles fine (for a 28yo ride) and will continue to work on a local farm.

 

Thanks again AJM... and appreciate the reaction Grizzly!

Cheers guys...

Those things will run forever if they're maintained. That's crazy that the oil was so bad and the main jet was sitting in the bowl...that can't be good 😋 Good luck with it on the farm!

Yea, no maintenance since he got it used, ~2 years ago... and before that, who knows? 

I was wondering why there was always a big puddle of fuel in the airbox. Now I know! 

Oh, this is someone else's farm. Not mine. We'll see how soon (if/when) I get a call back on this. He did mention that it is now "surging". I suspect old fuel. Will be draining the old and replacing it with fresh non-eth.
