Should be finished soon Hopefully

Anyone know if the Cv boots for the front are the same as the back? looking to grab some aftermarket ones

Sadly its missing the oil pan for the bottom of the engine So you can see the cam thinking either get a replacement or make one outta thicker sheet metal and a ball peen and use permatex gasket and some bolts

Yeah i ended up going that route, Also got in this lil one 2 days ago for free someone was gonna throw it in the dump

Yeah its been a bit of a sh** show found a bent tie rod couple others and had to straighten them out asmuch as possible with hydraulics especially the bottom u had a nice bend in it. So did the skid plate. Both the brake calipers were seized and had to do some surgery and they were just filled one side i got fixed the other needs to be replaced. Im now working a bit on the exhaust system and tryna get everything back to shiny for when i install a hunting/performance muffler

Getting some more work done on this silly monster now that its warmer out

Finished the rear u joints already and got the whole rear drive back together and running multiple parts were seized and some serious gunk build up in the break reservoir

I can only get the ethanol free in bulk at a farm supply store, only other place that sells is like a couple shops in small bottles for weed wackers n sh** like that

I ussually only ran 91 in my dirt bikes worth running in this machine or nah? i mean i even ran 94 when we had it but thats long since gone

Damn thats a great buy i got stuck with a tiny suzuki quadrunner 250 up near windsor area for 1000 i mean either way im happy with it for my first quad. I was looking for so long and just said fu** it and dove head in on one. Atleast its not something i'll kill my self on solid sturdy machine that could take a beating if it had to

Well sh** alright will unhook the line and drain it than flush it with some diesel and than old gas and refill with new gas, OR will the diesel hurt the tank even if its flushed? should i use kerosene instead? I've always used diesel to clean up my sh** because of the high ignition threshold worse it'll do is pass it into the oil or spit it into the exhaust

Honestly havent even refilled the gas since i got it was given to me with a full tank so i just added the motor treatment to it which said it'd raise the octane of the gas Plus add some special chemical thats ment to clean off carbon. Why would it come from the clutch? i didnt even have it in gear its sitting on stands idling just spitting smoke, Just from my limited knowledge the gas in the oil + the smoke = worn head gasket+ worn piston rings, Unless i have a full on warp of the head from someone overheating it will check the flatness of the surface when i get it off

Im getting really worried as im getting it more and more tuned in im getting this kinda ringing sound, i mean i checked if its preignition doesnt seem to be, Its not like scraping metal but like a light ting that speeds up as i rev it up and eventually goes away

Tried both a hotter and cooler spark plug sounds about the same, Was gonna see if i need to adjust the ignition timing for if the chain is bad. OR if unluckily its even worse and  piston rings are worn and no good or the block it is scored, Im just hoping its not those last things

Havent checked the tank yet waiting to run more of the motor treatment through first. Now that I added this motor treatment its burning away all the carbon it smells like. Will run fine for a second and than spit white smoke like crazy on reving, Once i really start giving it just starts puffing white smoke out the back but i stuck the borescope back in and it seems to be cleaning the carbon up went from wet oil soot to cleaner pistons where i can start to see the piston is self again. It doesnt smell rich so i think i got the carb tuned in right but the engine is just blowing smoke at the moment. gotta get that air filter in change it out and see if it improves a bit, if not im guessing the top end gaskets are fu****

Already im starting to feel a totally different bike, Grabbed my portable tach and hooked it up and tuned the idle in after adjusting the carb a bit more was about 300 rpm short. Gave it some gas and really felt some power for once went from sounding like a drip carbed engine on a cart to an actual atv again

Alright well i got the carb cleaned and a bunch of other stuff done doesnt seem to be running as rich, but now i think its running lean i keep hearing a pinging for about 3 minutes during start up. scared to run it in place for a long time because it seems to be getting pretty hot and not sure if its getting to the point of it being dangerous

I ended up taking the whole carb off taking the float and the diaphragm and cleaning with fresh gas. Also ran a bunch through the whole carb body it self bunch of black sludge came out. Im installing a fuel line filter now, seems it doesnt have one installed someone never installed one again after changing the line i think

I'm gonna go to the local hardware store and see if they have any that match up to this pitch and diameter in the same length for cheaper and just the ones i need https://specbolt.com/technical-faq/

I was looking everywhere for those numbers and specbolt just throws em at you

Common metric thread pitch for motorcycle and ATV uses are M4-.7, M5-.8, M6-1.0, M8-1.25, M10-1.5, M12-1.75, M14-2.0 and M16-2.0

if not theres a couple places local that make bolts that i can probably order a shipment of the ones i need from, I just dont feel like using my tap and die set on every goddamn screw/bolt to resize it to commonly available threads

Will do im looking at a uni competition airfilter , Now im kinda stuck because the bike is missing a bunch of bolts and some broke. Been trying to find either a whole new set or a place with the sizes of the nuts and bolts and screws on the diagram

Definitely gonna try that next thing im looking for is a bolt sizing chart for the atv or something along those lines cause a lot of bolts are missing. Gonna try and clean out the air filter it looks old and clogged as sh** i read that i can clean it instead of replacing should i clean or replace with a k&n

Yeah the factory manual i have doesnt say anything about the turns, Im gonna pull it off tonight and give it a good clean and look. Also the air box has some oil like stuff in it good way to clean it out when getting it off? Can i use like brake cleaner or something like that or should i use carb cleaner since its ment to be used on something that fuel is gonna go through.

Ended up picking up a fram ch6066 today gonna install it after i give everything a good clean and give the float a check

I already have all the oil out which smelled like straight gas saw there wasnt a washer on the oil plug. id have to say this guy ran it rich for like 1 year without even touching the oil. So much dirt had to clean off first power wash didnt get everything so had to spraynine almost the whole bike and than power wash again now im gonna have to do it again. Because it still didnt get everything.. For an aircooled bike to be that dirty just makes me sad... Guy that had it before me obviously didnt take that much care of it, And yeah this design of bike wont crank with the kill switch on because it actually just cuts the whole power system. I was thinking of doing what your saying but also running a can of seafoam through

Thought well i had the borescope out should get a pic of the piston. Looks pretty friggin caked and its all like wet got the borescope in with its pick and scraped a bit off and it was like liquid sludge

Yeah i found it just in the most impossible to reach area. so only way to adjust is well its off the bike?  it looks like its screwed in quite far, like almost bottoming out i think can see a bunch of threads above it

I'll get my borescope out and take a picture in a second before i even get it out, Ended up cleaning the whole garage instead of working on the bike. Also arranged all my tools just anything to not work on it at that moment.... 🙄

I looked and checked everything doesnt seem to be any evidence of a fire Wiring harness is decent and the plastic and seat are all intact so i mean it looks fine, Im guessing some idiot sprayed carb clean on it and accidentally lit it on fire. Never know what the previous owners couldve done to it. The throttle cable i can quite literally Pull right out of the carb and the only thing connecting it is the cable which it revs to all sh** when i do it, im scared to even take it on a trail before i figure this out because it seems like if i hit a nasty bump the throttle is gonna jump, ussually i'll give a machine a feel ride before taking it apart when i first get it. So i can feel whats wrong with it. deeper into the bike but this i was scared to even kick on outta neutral unless i had full control of the bike

When i get it out of the bike today i will take a pic of the bottom its pretty well packed in there, I can only really get some pics of the sides and what not with it in

Attached some pics of the carb that im working with, Before i even get it out want to see what i have to do and than get it done. any tips for getting the exterior cleaned up also? want to get bike back to looking brand new
