I find the easiest thing to do is look at a parts diagram like https://www.powersportswarehouse.com/oemparts/a/kaw/500b2842f8700223e4793008/crankcase That tube might be the oil return tube. Leaking oil could be an issue, but I'm not 100% sure what's causing it. Could be oil over fill or overflow, a bad oil pump seal, or something else.

A little heat will make it easier and less likely to snap.

I was leaning on a carb issue but since you swapped it out and have the same issue...check your choke, fuel delivery, air box for restriction. When it starts to die out, see if spraying some fuel or starting fluid into the intake keeps it running to see if its actually a fuel issue. If no different, check your spark plug and coil.

Welcome to QUADCRAZY. How many times is it blinking in increments? That's a diagnostic issue and the gear indicator light blinking will relay an issue. * Added ATV info into topic title.

Is there a fan on the ATV that's not turning on?

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! That's going to be pretty cool. 😁 Look in the Gallery, you may find some pics like:

I added a bit to your topic title to be more descriptive. @davefrombc gave a great answer. Some manufacturers also share engines and engine components. The principle behind a 4 stroke engine and how they function are all the same. You may find similar or even same parts between manufacturers if they contract their engines out to lets say suzuki or their is ownership over the brand.

The banshee is very powerful but for riding roads and trails I would go with the TRX450R. check out some of the videos on youtube of the comparison like.

You should be able to find these online: https://www.bikebandit.com/oem-parts/1996-kawasaki-bayou-300-4x4-klf300c-shock-absorbers/o/m149877sch36748

We'll leave it, I just added your ATV info into the topic title. ☺️

Do you want me to merge this with your current topic?

Have you tried looking at one of the OEM parts websites and looking at maybe the parts schematic? http://www.polaris.com/en-us/atv-ranger-rzr/parts-manuals * Topic moved to Polaris ATV forum.

That's the fuel petcock and I have that issue on my grizzly where it leaks when in the on position. I have to change it and in the meantime I have been leaving it on the off position when not in use. Try and see if it leaks in every position. If not, it's probably the valve. * Topic moved to Honda forum and added ATV info into topic title.

Check out some of the topics in the regional Northeast forum https://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/77-northeast-atv-off-road-forum/ Here's an older topic: Also this older one for mass:

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! In the downloads sections there is only a newer LT50 manual and you'll have to search online for an older version I think. As far as finding part, fenders, seats and such for an older model ATV, start with ebay.com where you'll find some new and used fenders for Suzuki LT50 ATVs You can also check Amazon where they have front and rear in yellow and white, similar priced to new on ebay Maier USA Suzuki LT50 QuadRunner Front Fender - Yellow - 177884 Maier USA Suzuki LT50 QuadRunner Rear Fender - Yellow - 177894 Same with your other parts, look on ebay and then check amazon because you'll usually find a good price this route. Then start checking the mainstream ATV websites like motosport, rockymountainatv, bikebandit, etc.,

Here's a good video on replacing ATV u-joints

I think it might be an older suzuki because of the yellow and blue. Has that frame been painted? Try to find some numbers on the frame like @Frank Angerano mentioned.

Great to see you on here @Freedomflyer! Congrats on the new Can-Am, great looking machine. What's the price tag on one of these? I moved this topic into the Can-Am forum and added the model to your topic title. 😁

Did you figure this out? Is this a Kawasaki Bayou?

Did you end up figuring this out? I changed your topic title to: 2001 Yamaha Raptor Nerf Bars fit a 2000 Yamaha Warrior?

I just noticed this topic, where you able to get this going? My rule of thumb is that if it isn't the same new then I return it or look online for an adapter kit or instructions for how to use an updated version. When it comes to electrical, I'd rather it be plug-in and go.

This is the only one that is in the downloads section

Another great video by @Gunny !

I edited your topic title to be more descriptive and moved this topic into the Polaris forum. I took a quick look online and all I see is this use one on ebay: 1988 Polaris Trail Boss 250 4X4 Grey GAS TANK No leaks/Great Shape 85,86,87,88
