With many parts no longer available for My Daughter's and my 2000 and 1995 250 Quads I'm looking at alternative places to get parts. Is there a salvage place  to buy parts?

I second this, a salvage lot/website for just quads would be nice. 

Amazon number one go, then ebay. If they don't have whats needed then Im out of luck and have to take a hit on one of those parts website. 

Usually just manualib, if they don't have it I just scavenger the web. Have no luck finding the older quad manuals tho.

Where do yall ride at in South Florida other than the MX track on Krome Ave?

From South Florida trying to revive a 1991 Suzuki Lt230E

Started off with a free moped I was gifted. I got it running and decided I wanted more fun so I cut it in half and welded it to the front half of a go-kart body. Turning it into a reverse trike. The thing was pretty cool but it was super slow so I posted it on a marketplace. Ended up trading it for a non-running chinese atv and some predator engines. Fixed up the old 125cc Chinese ATV and the predators. Sold the predators and rode the small ATV for a while until I sold that too, from there on I snowballed through anything with an engine, buying, fixing and selling for profit. My last project was a free 2000 suzuki ltf500 4wd quad that I just sold. Now I'm working on a 1991 lt230e that I picked up for $200. 

I got an old machine and i’m not sure whether i should run a little thicker. It’s almost 35 years old. Might go 20w-40 

Never back down never what? never give up

What year is it? I have an lt230 but it’s pull start. 

Thanks for the info was able to decode my vin and find the year on my atv 

Recently picked up a 1991 Lt230e for repair. Compression is a little low Id say, around 80psi, I also have spark but the spark is odd . When cranking the spark is a constant arc. I’ve got it to sputter but never fully turn on. I believe the spark is my issue, being constant and not detonating at the right time. I’m not sure whether this issue is an electrical fault like some missing ground, a faulty cdi, or a timing issue. Any ideas where I should start? 

No, but i’m planning on getting a garmin device for this reason. 

I agree with brian. Maga

Nice quad brother, recently stumbled on this forum. I’m trying to get a 1991 lt230 running currently. 

Thanks for this posts! I’m trying to get an old lt230e running.
