Yeah you never know how that thing was ridden if it was a rental...It does sound like you are in better shape with it.
true ,
but the guy who sold me the qaud was allso the owner and the tour guide
and he said nothing to bad ever happend to them
just plastic dammage
and ruined piston rings in 1500miles
i don,t know what to believe annymore
i just know the quad still won,t cold start and oil keeps comming in the box...
thanks guys

Well here is my Suggestion then.....I would Drain the Oil......Then I would fill it up with the Recommended Amount of oil.....Remove the Airbox and Vent Tube and clean with Carb Cleaner....Make sure that you Wipe it down clean...Reinstall....Fire the Bike up and let it run for about 2 min. then shut it down and Recheck your Oil...
Sounds to me like you had it too full to begin with.....Or,,,,,Have you ever had the Bike on its Rear End for long Periods of time?????
Hope this helps....
hi there i almost already did what you asked
i hav evenbeen driving for 1 hour instead of 2 min
and after 1 hour of dricing there was a drop of oil again in the airfilterbox
and i bought the quad second hand so it could be that the quad was on his back
and the owner never told me because it was an ex-rental quad
i,ll take a picture today and post it here
so you can see
anny idea about the bad starting is maybe connected to this oil problem?

The tube going from your Airbox is a Crank Case Tube.....The only way (the way I see it) the oil can get in the Air box is through there.....
2 Things can cause this...Overfilling the Oil which causes more pressure Build up thus the oil getting in the Airbox....Or,,,,,Bad piston Rings.....
If you dont have Blue Smoke coming out the Tail Pipe then its not the Rings.....
Another Thing......
You dont want a DRY FILTER.....All Filters(At least the ones that I know about) use some sort of Filter oil.....That is what Catches the Particles.......Dry is not good.....
Thanks for the reply
yeah your wright the oil comes in thrue the tube i can see that inside the airfilterbox
i don,t have blue smoke either and the crankcase was empty while the airfilterbox was filled with oil
and i did find out that my quad uses a dry airfilter
do bad piston rings allso cause a bad cold start??
thanks for the help

hi there folks
i hope someone can give me some advice on the problem i,m having with my recently bought atv , it,s a 260cc Linhai 4stroke engine from 2005 with 2300 Miles on it
and the problem is that i keep finding oil in my airfilterbox ,allot
and it,s not airfilter oil as i need a dry airfilter
it looks like it gets blown in thrue a tube that is connected from the engine
does annyone know something about this ??
and is it normal that air is blowing out the oilfilling opening with allot of pressure??
i noticed when filling the oil and having the engine running stationary
sorry for the misspells as i live in the Netherlands
and thanks in advance oakleyz

hi there again
just went to an ATV shop and bought a new sparlplugg and got some info
mine did look like the one "dry and wet fouling"
but no luck on the starting with a new sparkplugg
, the mechanic from the shop thought it could be the
electric choke on the carburator
just to replace this would be $140,-
and there hourly fee is $80,-
so i,m not quit shure to bring it to a dealer ....yet
because if it,s not the electric choke they probably to
will spend hours locating the problem and my pockets are emty
thanks for the help guys
