I have added them to my saved list there. I've a nice old belt driven 1/2 hp polishing rig I plan to set up. Those little ones will be great for hard to reach stuff. Here's my daughter on the Ferry to Jamestown VA. Thats the Softail I mentioned.

They are cool. But cost money. I'll try a stick with a rag wrapped around it first. Smear some polishing compound on it and stroke away. I'm seriously cheaping out on this. But if I have no luck with the cleaning it'll get new China Geo bits. I kinda like brakes.

Thanks guys Like I said it's moving freely now, I just need to get the top of the bore opened a bit to get it out. And yup if I can get the cylinders apart I'll try to clean them up first in keeping with my no bucks approach to this revival.

There was no give in the hand lever so something was frozen. Cracked the bleeder on each side, one at a time and got fluid on both wheel cylinders, so that ruled out the master cylinder. Squeezed the dickens out of the hand lever and one side of the left wheel cylinder moved. Time to replace the wheel cylinders. I figured they were the issue. I've been soaking the choke circuit plunger for 3 days now. I had to go to town today so I stopped by the motor sports dealer and talked with a mechanic there. He said he's drilled a hole in the brass plunger and used an ez out in the past, that he'd seen it before on these Mikunies if they've sat a long time. I hate ez outs. So me being me I grabbed the cable right at the bendy bit and pulled so hard the cable came out of the plunger. I did get it loose but now I've deformed the bore by tapping the wrong thing with a punch. Theres a land in the bore i thought was the plunger. I forgot the plunger waa brass. I'm hoping I can get in there with a scraper and clean that edge up.I'm good at making work for myself.

Yup I agree about the T6. The original question was about Rotella T4 and personally I wouldn't run it in a wet clutch.

Man oh man, mention oil preferences on any forum and you're guaranteed to start a war. Too funny. Mech, great diagnostic writeup, thanks.

I learned the hard way about wet clutch certified oils. One fresh oil change and Shazam no clutch hookup. At the time I washed em and the used 120 grit sandpaper. Juat a light bit.

Good idea on the rubber. I can get some conveyor belt material from a coal miner buddy.

Cool idea!

Looks like you've come to the right place 😉.

Shells advertising suggests to me that oil has a high blend of friction modifiers. I'd break it down and clean the dickens out of the clutch pack myself. I'd wash em in acetone to get rid of as much of that oil as I could and then do as this video suggests.

Maybe do but it would be from one of the Kings. If you're in no hurry. I want to get the Quadrunner going and out of the pole barn, then pull a King in. The other 3 will be broken down to feed it. If my plan works I'll have 3 complete motors. 3 raw frames and a pile of parts. What I don't have are plastics worth a crap. Those machines rolled down the mountain more than a bunch of times. I've enclosed a picture of some top class plastic repairs. Been using computers since the days of dos. Used to build my own. Also a pic of my grandaddy milage machine.

No high zoot motor for these quads. I like the idea though. The ideas to have a pair working for a living here and part the rest of the pile. At 66 I've been wrenching and tinkering for a while now it's been a paycheck and therapy at different times.

Plenty to do on this thing. Thanks for the tips. I'll I've got to get the.carb sorted out, put the oil pump back together I've no idea why it's been taken out. And yes find out why the rtv and check the lash. And I've sourced a new rectifier as I don't want to wig the cdi unit out. If I'm lucky the next step will be trying to start it.

Well the brakes should be easy to get back in shape. The dang start circuit plunger is arguing with me. Soaking in Aero Kroil this time. The fuel pump and petcock both passed the vacuum test. The spare did not.

Thanks for looking. Wound up cutting a slot under it. I'd have broken it otherwise. I'm good at that.

Can anyone tell me what type of fastener holds this knob on the speed?

Dang I need a heater, 30° is cold on my old fingers. Gave up on taking the tank out. Cleaned lubed and moded the shifter. Pulled petcock to drain fuel. Ordered some parts. Found where some of the oily mud crud came from.

I was gifted four King Quad 300's, they were used to tow portable snow guns around the slopes. All of the plastics are trashed and racks bent up from rolling down the mountain. The lone Quadrunner is a 98, and will be the initial point of focus, as it reportedly ran before being parked in the field of lost dreams.

I've got four parts quads if you're still looking for a carb.

Moved to the mountains of West Virginia a year ago. I was given 4 Suzuki king quad 300's. Plan on trying to make at least one out of the pile.

Sold it 5 years ago. It was leaking into the oil through the cylinder. Took a while to figure out why the oil level was rising on it's own. You can't replace the seat and I tried every trick I could to fix it. Finally gave up and bought a used one off Ebay.

So patience and perseverance are better than a bfh sometimes? Dang. Glad you got her going Frank.
