    i pulled the head off today and the gasket is a metal gasket, it had coolant all over it top and bottom so im sure its shot .. i pulled the recoil side off the bike too and the coolant is in there .. i recently rebuilt engine like 6 months ago and changed all seals , bearing, and gaskets... im hopeing to just change the head gasket and sell the bike ,, time to move up a few years !!!!!!!!!

    thanks guys im not sure what to do .... i hear the slime is good but messy if u ever have to take the tire off again ... iveheard the samething about plugs too , that the side flex's and is hard to patch .. i would hate to be going down the road and the tire to blow ,, i just bought these tires 2 month ago , they still have the tits on them .. i guess maybe for the 80 bucks i should just break down and get another tire grrrrrrr....... thanks again

    thanks , do you know how i would find out if i have to rejet?? now i was also thinking of snorkling my quad in a way that i have like quik connect connections,, so that if im just running around as normal i dont need the snorkle but if i go to get deep in mud/water that i can connect them and go through whatever is ahead of me ?? sound possible ???

    thanks !! do i have to do anything to the muffler?? ive had a few people tell me that snorkling a quad screws up the carb jets?? do you know about that ?? and i guess i should go around to all electrical connections and do something to them ?? thanks again

    no it doesnt backfire or anything ,, feels like i have no power at all.. if i turn back to the right a touch it starts to go forward..
  14. joedirt
    thanks i will look into that , but here is something eles is it possible when i hooked back up the oil and carb cables i put them in the wrong place for example . lines should be over the frame rail or under frame rail do you think this would cause the problem ??????
