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?

      1988 LT80 Crankcase Full of Oil
      By JohnnyB
      Greetings, 
      Have a 88 LT80 that been sitting for a couple years. Bought a new piston, cylinder and head. Installed these, rolled it over and it quickly locks up.  Took carb apart. It was full of what appears to be 2 cycle oil. Cleaned it, but keeps locking up and 2 cycle oil continues to seap from exhaust port.  When i installed new cylinder, I noticed crankcase was full of oil.  I'm now wondering if that oil is what's getting sucked up into cylinder.  Should there be no oil in crankcase?  If that the case, how is crank and rod lubricated?  Sorry, never worked on a 2 stroke. Thanks!

      I see quite a few ads for that  Tribotex additive. It's kind of expensive, has anyone used it it their ATV or any other vehicle?

      Suzuki King Quad 700 problem
      By NZrider
      My king quad 700 runs rough when cold then won't start some times but not often when it's hot. And occasionally smoke's a lot when it's cold I'm guessing that's rings but I'm worried unless it's causing the other problems
       
       
       
      All help is appreciated thanks
