Hello and good morning I have a 1987 250 quad racer big carb and engine built . Other day I was driving it it popped and it died on me so I towed it home cuz I didn't want to prevent any more damages try to start it when I got home she backfired and kicked back hard. Need some help if anybody can help me out thanks

I'd check the timing before going too deep into the motor.  Sounds like the chain flopped and jumped a tooth or woodruff key sheared on the crank.  Backfiring  is usually caused by either firing at the wrong time or intake valve not closing completely.

It's a 2 stroke  so it wouldn't  have a timing  chain

Never had a 2 stroke.  I've had a 125, 185, have a 250 quadrunner in the garage now, king quad in the past, about everything Honda made in an ATC, some Kawi's, a Can Am now. Just no 2 strokes.  Thought about buying one recently just because I have no experience with them at all.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      I am new to this site. I have a 1987 Suzuki LT230S Quadsport I think. Is there a difference between quadsport and quadrunner?

      I Was Riding By Myself. I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.
