I'm looking @ making a trailer for my Rincon to tow on the beach for over night fishing&camping trips. I was just going to use 2" right angel iron and expanded mesh. And then just make a basic box trailer and have it galvanized, but Id rather not have the wheels protruding out of the side. I want to use my two standed front wheels from the Honda, So dose anyone know here I can score an axle, hubs and springs ∨ tourtion bars from very very cheep Any Idea's Tips Tricks Things to look out for would be terrific Thanks

i built 1 a couple years ago and used the rear axle from a small front wheel drive chrysler car .(bought from junk yard for 40 buks).i think it was a dodge omni or similar 4 lug ..i cut it down and made it the same width as the quad ..and i found some atv wheels that were the same bolt pattern ..think they were old polaris rear (early to mid 90's) i built the frame out of 2x2 angle and put wheel wells in it so the tires/wheels didnt stick out i used atv shocks as the axle mounted with a few bolts and made a swing arm kind of setup.. the shocks were at a near flat angle only slightly angled for some suspension and to keep ground clearance as high as possible .. this should give ya some what of an idea .. it worked really well and u hauled around 700 to 1000 lbs in it.... i sold it t a guy that i met on a riding trip and he just had to have it and bought it from me the day we were leaving to head home ..he gave me 400 buks for it ..i only had about 200 in it ... i looked and cant find any pics...sorry ..

      I picked up this ATV that had no spark. The previous owner said he was driving it and it died and would not start. He discovered it had no spark. He replaced the CDI and the coil with no luck. He got tired of it and I bought it. I replaced the stater and now it has strong spark. Now, it starts for a second or two then dies. It will not stay running. I have checked the timing and it is spot on. The valves are adjusted correctly. I see no warn issues with the cam. I put the original CDI and coil back on it. Same problem exists. Compression is at 65 psi (has decompression mechanism),
      I took off the muffler in case the issue was clogged pipes. No change. I replaced the spark plug. No change. The carb was an aftermarket so I put a Niche carb on with no change. I bypassed the fuel pump and that did nothing to solve the problem. 
      I don't know if this is a carb issue or an ignition issue. I am looking around locally for an OEM carb to try out but not sure that will fix the problem. 
      Can anyone help me solve this problem. I am running out of ideas. 
      Thank you for your time

      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.

      As the title says I am on the search for a used OEM 1995 King Quad Carb. I believe it says Mikuni on the side. If you could even help me find info on which carb it is exactly that would be helpful too, or motorcycles/other quads that use the same carb. Thanks!

      I added a pdf of  the wiring of the various connectors used in vehicle socket  and trailer plug wiring to the  "Other ATV files"  section in downloads.
