1986 Kawasaki Bayou 300 Synthetic Engine Oil
BradCad replied to mmgood's topic in Kawasaki ATV Forum
Always! I run synthetic in everything I own. Even my old antique engines. It wont fix anything but it wont hurt anything for sure. Brad_cad -
Check your gas tank vent, might be plugged. Does it suck in air when you loosen the gas tank cap after it stalls out? Just a thought.
-
My first step in problem solving is always the simple stuff first! I would try it again with the tools needed in my back pocket to pull the spark plug. Ride till it stops, yank the plug quickly and 1)-look for spark 2)-check to see if plug is wet or dry! That one test will lead you to the start of your correct action plan .
-
Wow, that's very strange, did you find the problem? Maybe a bare wire grounding out somewhere?
-
Did you figure out the location of that wire? I will look at mine and see if I can locate your wire on my bike.
-
How did your excessive smoke issue turn put? I am running a 1996 and it took several high speed distance runs to clear the pipe and stop smoking, I am still running the ejector pump on mine.. BradCad

This sounds like a great/fun/interesting project, looking forward to seeing some pics!

UPDATE - I installed the new unit and it works great, as expected and it takes much more effort to rotate it. Not allot but much more then the old one. I also found out these units are easy to break trying to disassemble them! Glad I ordered the new one. Thanks for the input! BradCad
-
I tried to take it apart to look at but it does not come apart. At least it was not obvious. I was sure it would break if I tried to pry the handle off. Anyway, I have a whole new peacock coming.
-
Thats a great tip! not to mention $$ saver, Thanks
-
Yes thats not a bad price and the best idea. I was hoping to get some riding in this weekend though . . . .

Hello All, - I have a 1996 Sportsman 400 4x4 2 stroke, and the fuel petcock leaks like crazy. It leaks around the red barrel that rotates to the 3 positions, on off and reserve. Can it be repaired or is replacement the only cure? Thanks in Advance.

I have learned from years of dirt bikes that I always check the oil (on machines using a site glass) to check them cold and level. If you start the engine you need to let is set quit a while before looking at that site glass, it takes some time before the oil settles, making for readings all over the map. I would say it need to set at least 1/2, an hour would be even better. BradCad

Hello! I have a 1996 400L with the exact same issue. But I am having a tough time finding the relay, can anyone steer me to its location? How did you issue come out? Thanks BradCad
