Thank you for your help,I have now done that and it sounded better but still a rattle when running.I pulled left cover with water pump and found the oil pump shaft has sheered off on the end where it meshes with the water pump shaft.Not only that but there is a snap ring holding the plastic gear which runs the oil pump and it had slid to the left of the motor.I re-installed the plastic gear and cover and restarted the motor.noise quieted down but I need to replace that shaft in order for the water pump to work.I guess my question would be are these motors hard to split the case or do I have to in order to replace oil pump shaft and do you think if I use a heavier weight oil the motor might be ok.again thank you for your response.hope to hear from someone soon,Paul.

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      Have you ever been on the trail and your tire valve goes bad. No way to break down the wheel and replace it. A lot of you probably know about this already i had heard of it but never used one. Just punch out the old one insert and tighten down the nut
       

       

       

       
      So far it has worked very well.

      In search of my first ATV? What are good older 4x4 models?

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
