when he changes oil what color is it? Does it have water in it...milky brown color...The wateer will be at the bottom as he drains it.

My equipment is at my cottage that I am at when possible. So I don't like 120 vac trickle chargers due to potential fire hazard. Mike explorer suggested this solar charger as an Option. I like it.

My first question would be is this an OEM or aftermarket carb. This procedure if for OEM carb, may work for aftermarket not sure. Most addjustments are done by ear you know when its running good and idling right, the settings are starting points, if not running good on recommended settings adjust accordingly. First step would be to make sure the carb is clean, very clean, not mostly clean. Pilot Screw Adjustment for the Recon 250 ('97 and up) This may also be suitable information for the same year 250SX quad. Note: -The pilot screw is factory pre-set. Adjustment is not necessary unless the carburetor is overhauled or new pilot screws are installed. -The engine must be warm for accurate adjustment. Ten minutes of stop-and-go riding is sufficient. -Use a tachometer with gradations of 50 rpm or smaller that will accurately indicate 50 rpm change. 1. Turn the pilot screw clockwise until it seats lightly, then back it out to the specification given. CAUTION: Damage to the pilot screw seat will occur if the pilot screw is tightened against the seat.

Yes you can just hook your jump starter box to the battery and crank it up. You can use a trickle charger on it ,leave it over night, if the battery is good will charge up. I have so much trouble withr these small batterys not lasting very long i have just been leaving the trickle charger on it when not in use. I usually use aa trickle charger that puts our 1.5 or 2 amp.

Lucky Guy! In the distance Amazing Peaks+. Looks like a lake in that one picture for skinny dipping.

I like Amazon and Ebay. However, when I buy parts I look up the OEM part number on Honda or Yamaha website. Then i make sure the part fits and is OEM part most of the time. Rock Auto...they are great....Just ordered rear wheel hubs and ABS sensors for my Jeep. They are reliable...
