Toughest Most Reliable Quad ever Produced
JustRandy replied to Gwbarm's topic in General ATV Discussion
Rocky Mountain ATV sold me an oil filter they said would fit the 250EX, but I looked all over the engine and couldn't find where it goes. I looked in the service manual and engine diagrams and couldn't find anything about a filter. So I guess it just doesn't have one. I still have the filter like a souvenir lol. It might have a screen or something to keep the chunks out of the oil pump but not sure since I've never had it apart. It's also a pushrod engine. Can you believe it? Honda redesigned everything from the 250X to the 250EX using computers and decades of knowledge and what they came up with was a pushrod engine with no oil filter lol -
So a broken jet was the problem? Awesome you fixed it but seems strange a jet would suddenly break on the trail with the guy that sold it to you lol Turn the idle speed back up some then adjust the mixture until it idles at the speed you want and the stumble should go away. Often a stumble is found in the transition between the pilot circuit and the needle circuit (see pic below). Turning the idle speed down as far as possible while adjusting the mixture is a good way to create a stumble if the carb isn't absolutely perfectly designed.

Sorry. I did consider the readers. Here is one: I had positive feedback and I didn't know anyone was objecting to content. I thought everyone was objecting to the drama. My thread at atvconnection has 2.25 million views. What's the ad revenue for that? I guess I'm confused on the goal. I thought you'd like content. If you're wanting to generate a database of solutions like quora then it seems like it's defeated by the fact that people routinely won't devote the time to look up answers. That has always been a problem on forums, even before smartphones. Often the first reply to a question is "Did you do a search?" Dispensing answers to repetitive questions without chatting and having some fun sounds a lot like employment. Then it's not really about helping people for the fun of helping people but inflating the solution score. In light of my thoughts please advise how you'd like me to proceed and I'll decide if I want to participate further. Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

Banter increases the content, which is what you want, right? Also I've received at least 2 compliments on the thread for the content and the suggestion to "keep it up". What is unwanted is the off-topic snide jabs and ridicule out of jealously that starts fights. That is the element that needs addressed.

This is what happens when mods don't want to get involved. Moderation means calm things down. It's like cops showing up to a crime scene and saying they don't want to take sides or get in the middle of it. Someone here is doing something wrong and it should be pointed out by a person of authority or 2 or 3 members in agreement so we can learn to get along better. We could produce a lot of interesting content if we could find harmony.

If you get some downtime while waiting on parts or something you can do the diff-lock in any range mod and the start in gear mod. Should be easy to find on google. It was 12 years ago so I forgot how to do it or I'd just tell you. And if your pump looks like that I bet your brake cylinders don't look much better. You can disassemble and hone them out with a dremel rotary tool with some sort of brush or buffer bit. They sell rebuilt kits too.
