I went to pull the carb off my daughters quad and 2 fuel lines were cracked. I thought easy day changed the lines O boy lets here it run I was wrong. So now it took me longer to get the carb off than to go thru it. It's all back togather now and running good. I love the sound of a 2 stroke I'm happy now!

Same here for quads but not bikes. I don't understand what their thinking is. The age of a child should not determine what size quad they can ride. Just like my daugher I'm not going to say a 90cc is not enough power for her but the size of the quad is going to be to small for her. She's tall for her age and to me she already looks to big for the quad. With her height she fits on a polaris phoenix 200 we looked at a few weeks ago. I think the gov. or who ever needs to go back and rethink this over. We would be better off to be able to adjust the throttle as were able too now but have something too keep a kid from being able to change the setting. A quad that is to small for a kids size is dangerous to me. I could not see a 14 or 15 year old on a 90cc size quad. When I was 11 I was ridng a Yamaha 175 2 stroke my uncle would ride over to our house. He would let me go ride on the trails While he visited my mom & dad I had a SL70 of my own at the time. I could touch the ground just fine on the Yamaha but the power scared me at first when the front end come off the ground very easy but 15 to 20 mins. I got used to the power & the difference of a 2 stroke I was hooked. So in my long drawn out post here is to say size matters and I went by the rules! If I had it to do over I would have bought my daughter a bigger quad 1 she could ride for at least 4 to 5 years from now. After my 175 addiction My dad bought me a cr 125.

      Left side cover cracked crankcase
      By Hooks300Bayou
      95 bayou 300 2wheel. This is my first four wheeler. The guy I bought it from showed me slight drip on his floor from a drain plug he recently retapped. I figured I could handle a small leak from a second hand machine. Well after a few times of riding it the bayou seems to be running low on oil. Now maybe this is normal operations as well so I refilled the oil. But the next day I notice my drip on the floor was slightly larger. I wanted to see this drain plug for myself so I took off the skid plate and found a pretty rough looking installed drain plug. It does have a small drop but also seemed to have an excessive gasket and maybe some grey looking “jb-weld” ish material around it. So that’s scary but I figure surely that’s not the only source since my floor spot Grew a bit. I went on to find recent moist around the head gasket for the top end. I’ve never seen it drip but it drips on the new starter the guy installed so it seems the head gasket leaks too. He did say he replaced that gasket when I inquired about the darken stains around that area of the motor. He said he replaced that gasket during. Ring replacement when the bayou was smoking. It no longer smokes by the way. So I continue on thinking well maybe I can do another top end gasket myself some day but still the oil on the floor suggests a more visible leak. I mean it’s not a lot but it grew as I mentioned. Then I find my what seems to be an awful thing. The pull cord and starter was replaced by the preavious owner and it appears there’s a busted area on the crankcase where the left side cover mounts to the L-case.I have not seen oil from there but that looks scary to me. Does this area hold oil? I wondered if it doenst maybe I’ll leave it be but if it does it’s probably the reason I lost some oil. I also found tonight oil on the rubber boot cover I think is for the drive shaft or something. Idk my first ride so I’m unsure of how to proceed. Especially with the case cracked like that. I don’t know how the engine works but if there is indeed oil there in the operation of things it seems like I must do a major engine over haul….. any insight would be so very helpful. I bought this for my daughter but I may have been bitten by going with such An older model.

      Replacing old fuel lines!
      By SashaGraves21
      I know this seems stupid to ask but how do I know which fuel line goes to which intake valve on my 1996 Polaris trail boss 250 2x4. It’s only single cylinder but I found out today the machine had little to no oil or gas and that caused a ton of problems for me to fix now. So how do I get it right?

      2015 Sportsman 570 Cracked Oil Pan
      By westomatic
      I have a 2015 sportsman 570 in the shop currently with a cracked oil pan. It is a rental unit, (not my own rental company but a customer's) and the renter that was riding it apparently hit a large rock and dented the bottom of the skid plate into the oil pan and has cracked it where the drain bolt is. (And before any-one tells me to just JB weld it, I am not going to do that for obvious reasons relating to it failing down the trail.  ) It is a quite large chunk that is broken and oil drains out about as fast as you can pour it in. I currently have the customer quoted for removing the engine and replacing the oil pan. Is this the best option? Or should I be looking into cutting the skid plate out, replacing the oil pan, and welding the skid plate back into place? Has anyone done that before? 
      Thanks!

      1995 Polaris Sportsman 400 4x4- Brake Lines/Hoses
      By kajf9491
      I recently picked up a 1995 sportsman 400 4x4 and am working to get it back up and running.  I'm going through the brake system and would like to replace the brake hoses.  Has anyone found a good source for theses other than the few online websites that are charging ~$90 per line?  Are there options for aftermarket lines or possibly building my own?
