Your welcome but it’s no big deal. The smoke coming off of the engine on my bayou was the small valve access caps on the top of the engine. May not be your problem but this is what I did. First I bought a can of gunk engine cleaner. Follow the directions on how to use it and clean it good. This way you can see where the oil is coming from. Two caps have o rings and they flatten out over time. I took mine off left the o rings in place. Cleaned them from any grease and put high heat silicone and re installed. Again this may not be your problem but worth a look. You will get the hang how to do things on the bike just take your time and ask if your not sure. Put a piece of cardboard under the bike so you don’t stain the floor with the dripping oil. My son didn’t know much about atvs and two years into it it’s a great pass time hobby we have now. We find older neglected or garage buried bikes and fix them up and bring them back to life.

Could be a tired relay or bad brushes on the starter. I would start by loosening the connections up on the starter relay clean them and re tighten them good. Do the same thing on the starter wire on the starter. Then check the ground cable at the battery and where the black wire bolts to the frame. If this does not clear up the problem then go with a new relay and a set of brushes. Might as well buy both, they are cheap enough.

That’s your carburetor bowl overflow. It should run down to the bottom behind the engine. If fuel is coming out then the float in the carburetor is having an issue. It’s not raising up and pushing the pin that shuts fuel down. Maybe a quick carb rebuild may be in order. Oil issue, drain the oil out and might as well change it. There should be a sight glass on the side of the engine or a dip stick. Find it and fill it back up accordingly.

A good welder can take care of that. It’s a soft metal but I think a good heli arc welder can do it.

My answer was you can add a stand alone breather to the back of the carburetor only if you don’t have an existing oil breather line going to the old air box. If that’s the case then you need to keep the existing type air box. I did this on my Polaris 90 and it worked. I had to adjust the air fuel screw a little. This is the type I put on from amazon. 45mm Universal fit"Turbine" Air Filter - Motorcycle Scooter Pocket Bike ATVs - Blue (Model 10410-02) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DWGRL14/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6YseDbM4GBSQ3

The other hoses most likely don’t connect to anything. They are breather and over flow hoses. They are supposed to run down the back of the engine and hang. If it spits oil out it really can only be from a few things. You over filled the engine with too much oil. The bike was tipped over and oil got into the over flow hoses. The engine breather line that goes to your air box is clogged.

I don’t think you will get back what you put into it. Your into the bike for about $500 right now give it take a few bucks. So tires, rocker arm, gas tank, starter battery l, brake cable etc. that’s another $500 minimum. So bam 💥 $1000. You would not get that much for it so now it becomes a personal/financial decision. Do I bring this bike back to good or do the basics like the brake cable, battery, gas tank and starter and move it along. Maybe the rocker so you don't sell it with a tick. Get $750 maybe $800 or more and you’ve learned a ton of knowledge and didn’t loose money only labor but you learned about this brand and how it all works on the next one and there will be a next one.

Thanks for the comments I appreciate it but im a small potato here compared to some of the other members. I was in need of some help on a problem I was having I came across Quadcrazy and got some really good help here. After that I was always checking in. So I think it’s about two years now I’ve been a member and countless bikes later I enjoy paying it forward and helping others as so many of our other fellow members do as well as having other members help me out on my problems.

No problem. Keep us posted.

Not too bad. I would say if you’ve kept it under $1800 your fine. That screw is located on the bottom of the carburetor in a very difficult spot. Some of the time they are covered by a brass plug that has to be drilled out. Your going to have to get a small/short screwdriver to get up in there to make adjustments.

That’s a shifter gear seal. You can try to get it out with a pick but that’s not very easy. You would have to pull the cover off and push it out from the back side. Hopefully you can press a new one right back in and you will be good to go. You will have to buy another side cover gasket. If the housing rim is dented and preventing the seal from coming out I would take a small dremil tool with a pencil grinder type tip and grind the dented edge instead of trying to tap on it with any sort of hammer etc. Post a pic of you can I’m sure some members here will have other ideas as well.

Considering the work you’ve done and the money you spent where are you currently at? Adjusting the carburetor is not hard at all. But make sure you are able to get to the air fuel mixture screw first and that it can be adjusted with the air box on and covered. All you should have to do is set the idle high enough so the bike stays running during this process. Then while the engine is running you turn the air/fuel screw in either direction. One way or the other the engine will start to rev higher. That’s the right direction. Keep turning the screw until the rev reaches its maximum and starts to decline. Stop there and go back a hair. Lower the idle to a good setting and you should be good to go.

What area of the bike did you find them ? There are breather hoses that do not go anywhere and just hang under the bike or go to the air box. Did you recently change the oil and maybe put too much in ? You will get oil out of these lines if that happens.

The best forum for ATV’S .

Are you sure the wires are correctly installed. The black bolted to the frame and the red going to a relay with two nuts on it ? And did someone possibly install the battery and put the wires the wrong way ?

Welcome to Quadcrazy! That’s a great bike to work on. There have been quite a few of these on the forum lately that have been project bikes. I’ve also had one that I overhauled and it came out great. So any questions you may have I’m sure we can help. Good luck.

All bikes that I’ve ever known even street bikes, Harley’s etc are like that. Look on amazon and you will see the air breathers. They look great. You may have to adjust the air fuel screw a bit but that’s about it.

If you stay under $750 your fine. That bike in decent shape goes for $900 to $1000.

Unfortunately plastics are not cheap. Even the small ones. Considering the prices I’ve seen it’s not a bad price range. Some people run the prices up and then it’s seems to follow with everyone else who’s selling so that price could go up.

Ok that’s good stuff. Well when you get back get after it. Good luck.

Looks great, nice work! Nothing like bringing a bike back from the dead. Be sure to post pics of that new project. Ride safe

That looks pretty bad. Def going to need a new one. I will keep my eyes open for one.

Sounds good. Nice work. If the clutch is grabbing 3/4 way out the clutch needs replacement plates and springs. Not a big deal. Yes is one down four up or five up whatever it is. When you want to go to neutral you go all the way down and a half click up, that’s neutral. You can def replace the air filter IF there is no breathers going to the existing air box. I used one on my old Polaris 90. It worked fine. Looked great too. But only if there is no breather connected.

If the carburetor is clean and no junk got in there from either a dirty tank or whatever then it may just need an adjustment on the air fuel screw. If you can reach the screw turn it all the way in until snug (do not over tighten) and turn it 1-3/4 turns back out. Start the bike up and see how it runs. You will need to adjust out a little more would be my guess and the bike will start to rev up. Continue to turn until the reving starts to die off and go back a hair and you should be good. Adjust the idle after that and you should be good to go. This should all be done with the air box on including the cover as if the bike were ready to ride. Now that’s if it’s juts an adjustment issue. You may have to move the E clip on the main jet up a notch if someone moved it. If the top end was rebuilt, was it a bore out bigger piston ? Reason I’m asking is then you would most likely have to rejet the carburetor for larger jets due to the larger piston/cc size. If the top end was done by a pro then the timing should be good to go. lastly is out a brand new spark plug in so your not making changes/adjustments with a dirty plug
