The last statement is absolutely correct, getting people to sell there quads for less then they want because it’s not running or for whatever reason.  Also finding that barn find type quad that’s just been sitting and was left for dead.   

Me personally I would not get into any of the mechanics that you mention. Way to costly and time consuming.

My view is there are a ton of people out there that would spend $1200 -$2000 on a quad because they can’t spend more then that. I have sold quite a few without one problem to date because I go through it with a fine tooth comb and wouldn’t sell it if I felt otherwise. 

But we can debate that all day. 

Speaking of barn finds, I may have stumbled upon a HUGE barn find this weekend. Multiple toys in this one just covered in dust. It looks like someone put this stuff away and left it for a few years. 

Pictures to follow soon if I can get the deal done.

Yep and that's what I have a problem with.  I can talk people down a little, but then I start feeling like I'm ripping them off.  I know how it feels to be on the other end trying to sell something for a fair price.  I'm more likely to feel sorry for someone and give them their price than I am to get a screaming deal.

Yes it's the thrill of the hunt.  I can relate to that.

Yes but I enjoy mechanics.  I don't like it as much as I used to because it's like the same work over and over.  But when I was younger it was all about learning.

I'd like to find a Big Red trike in excellent condition.

Well I have one an 87 big red in decent  shape. Wish you were close Bc I would probably give it to you.

Ah thanks man!  Yeah if we lived close we could help each other out.  Sounds like you'd make a good friend!  I just want something to knock the berm down in the middle of my trails.  Is the 87 the 250 or 200?  Does it have the high/low ranges?

Can't wait to see what this is going to be.  Like an episode of American Pickers lol

I rarely put that much into my finds, In order to make any money you have to buy them cheap and watch your costs.

Hell I even figure out the gas spent to look at some if its worth it or not. Now if it was my personal one that I was keeping

I can see spending more than planned.  So where are the pics of your barn find? I assume was a good deal. Im after one probably

tomorrow but a long drive and not sure if worth the effort. Pics to follow. Az

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      Hello I’m new here and was wondering is anyone knew of good replacement part numbers for front struts and rear shocks for this atv? I think I’ve found a new rear shock, that looks like the original but there is no dimensions or anything and was wondering if there are any afterMarket new front struts available. I know it’s a long shot but any help would be appreciated.

      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      Hey all,
      I need some input on a problem I'm having with my Kodiak 400 that keeps fouling plugs. First off, I've done a lot of work to this thing, most of it all in good fun. Brake work, cv joints, u joints, carb kit, checked valve lash, compression good, changed all fluids, etc... My problem is it keeps fouling plugs very quickly. I can put a new (manual recommended plug) in and it starts right up, runs great, idles great, picks up good. Doesn't stutter at all. I ride it for 1/2 a mile, it cuts off and won't start back up. I let it sit overnight thinking maybe it got to hot. Try to start it the next day, nothing. Put a new plug in, fires right up, runs great for another 1/2 mile or so, dead. The plugs come out and look carbon fouled with dry black soot on them. I don't know if this is a fuel/air mixture problem or a ignition problem. A couple of things that I noticed is I never need to pull the choke out to start it. Also, when it starts it automatically idles high like an automatic choke would do, then it comes back down to a good idle. Also I noticed that the air/fuel mixture needle valve screw does nothing when I adjust it in or out. I can screw it all the way closed and the motor still runs and idles good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost leaning to a ignition breaking down the plugs??
      Thanks!
