Is the site glass broken? Here is a thread on an older 300 bayou and the oil capacity:

http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/kawasaki-atv-forum/10766-1986-kawasaki-bayou-300-oil-capacity.html

Did you change the plug?

The vin should be on the crankcase or frame somewhere.

I have new plug in it but still weak spark.I have had snowmobiles but the motor on was easy to get to. I know some about power packs. I did down load the manual that was on here but does not give much on trouble shoting.

So if someone on here can give me some ideas on were to start and what to look for maybe I can get some good spark

Thank

if it's an older bike, i would say the stator ... could be stator pick-up coil or coil too, but i bet stator ...

[pathfinderz1 10]

OK thanks now I got to figure out how it get into the stater

[oxidized_black 74]

it's a pretty easy fix. 2 hours tops ... it took about an hour on my big bear ... a record for me

and no pieces left over and minimal cursing ...

Aw but if you niticed I sign my name the pirate That means I have one leg to work with. Plus to top it off I'm 72 years old. I have had snowmobiles old ones for 20 years and my main hobby is old outboard motors. Some of the newer outboard motor have had the power packs on them

Noiw these Quad runners are something new to me. So if I seen a little slow its just that these are new to me.

And I will take any help I can get

Thanks

[oxidized_black 74]

it said there might be a number off, but this is what it said it was ....

if you can shine a trouble light there and look with a magnifying glass, you'll probably get it spot on.

but i think you have all the important numbers there for sure

there is a sight glass with 2 marks in the casing indicating high and low levels below the fill cap. for the weak spark i have found a weak battery when using the starter will produce  a weak spark. but using the pull rope produced a strong spark.
