Bought a 1988 LT4wd that sounds like it needs a starter clutch bad (loud grinding type sound with electric starter), I will know more once I pull the cover. Also has no cover or guts for the master cylinder. My thoughts are to replace the brake line and master cylinder assy altogether. What are your thoughts? Any one done the starter clutch with "oh man you def gonna wanna do..." or " hey don't forget about..." etc. And do I have to use a special tool to pull the clutch out? Thanks!

You can test the starter clutch because it's supposed to freewheel one way and engage the other way.  I don't have a manual for your bike but most bikes the starter clutch involves the timing chain so if you don't know how to properly time the bike then you might want to phone a friend or youtube it. Here's a picture of the clutch https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/suzuki/atv/1988/quadrunner-lt-4wd/starter-clutch I would DEFINITELY get a manual before messing with this. Hit me back if you need more help.

      1988 Suzuki Quadrunner 250 intermittent spark
      By Uglyside38
      I have a 1988 Quadrunner 250 2wd. My brother in law sold it to my son for $20...had been sitting outside for several years. Got it home and had it running in about 30 mins. Ran it a bit and then went to looking at the carb as it was having trouble idling. Was getting it pretty close, then started losing spark...Also, it wouldn't start up every time...only about 1 in 5 tries. Anyway...now, it has what I can only describe as "intermittent" spark. I can get 1 light spark right when the start button is pressed and sometimes one when it's released...but none while cranking. 🤷‍♂️

      I have replaced the spark plug, ignition coil/wire, and traced wires best I can. I noticed a couple frayed wires at the pickup coil where it enters the case. So, now I have the cover off, stator and pickup coil out and trying to test the coil. I do have about 114 ohms resistance for pickup best I can tell. And I can read minute voltage when I drag a magnet across it. Could it still be bad? Can a bad ignition switch/button cause this? (I did have the switch off to oil the choke cable)...pulling rope makes no difference though...any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!!! It's the intermittent part that's throwing me off!

      Super Weird Problem with Primary Sheave/Clutch... (Hisun 550)
      By skittle021
      So I've got a Hisun 550 that I was doing some work on that required removing the CVT and it's housing. Upon attempting to reinstall the clutch, sheaves, etc, I found that the belt no longer fits - it's far too wide. None of the parts have been replaced, they're all OEM. Exactly the same parts as what I took off a few weeks ago.
      To be more specific, my belt is 1.25in wide, but the gap between the clutch and the primary sheave is only 7/8in wide. I'll include a few photos to explain.
      Has anyone ever experienced such a bizarre problem? Any help at all would be appreciated, I've been stuck on this for a month. I'm open to just about any suggestion.

      New member intro and needs help.
      By CaptJim
      Hello guys, I hope I am not invading your space, but as you can see the current state of my project here it's not but about 50% ATV. I am hoping that some one here can point me to a wiring schematic that I can reference since the "Complete wiring harness" i purchased from Amazon did not include a diagram of any kind.

      The ones that I am finding on line vary greatly but none show the connections for the separate 5 wire connector coming from the motor.

      Can someone tell me where these wires go?
       
      Thanks in advance for all help!
