Gas in oil of Rancher 420

My buddy has a 2007 Rancher 420 fuel injected and somehow gas has started to get into the motor oil and oil has a black deposit in it. Bike may have a burnt valve because it has been ran low of oil before as well but not sure if that would be causing it, we also replaced the piston rings in it a few months ago but didnt start getting gas in the oil until recently. It is snorkeled but the bike has never been sunk. Would anyone happen to know what my problem may be?

2001 400ex carb question

I have been rebuilding my quad and I am finally (hoping) in the final steps to having it running right. My issue is keeping it running when I try to start it normally it doesn’t start, but if I push start it it starts but as soon as I hold the clutch it dies and when I hold the throttle it bogs down like it wants to die but if I lets go of throttle and clutch it sounds normal. My question is if this is just a carb adjustment I need to make or could I have another issue? I rebuilt the carb a couple of years ago but haven’t ran it since as I went to rebuilding it then and I recently opened it up to clean since I did run fuel thru it before

How to ID Year and model of drive train

Hello,

Searched the forum but did not find anything helpful.
I have what was presented as a TRX 250 drive train and swing arm in a golf cart and am trying to know what year and model it really is. I did read that if it has electric start and reverse (yes to both), it is a 300.
I have not looked for an engine serial number yet. Will that tell me what I have? Where is the serial number located?
Thanks,
Chris

Markcuda- found a great trail rig for you

Roughly 2.5 hrs from ya, but would be well worth it. These yami’s are easy to mod the governor to make them much much faster and quicker. Tires look good so ya should get a number of yrs on them. I’ll look around and find the rear seat conversion, either seat 2 more people or fold down and you have a good sized cargo bed for your coolers. Install a stereo, also kits available for that, and you have a nice trail rig you and the wife can cruise cheesy trails with while being able to enjoy eachothers company.

Easily deck this out pimp status for half of what your wifes quad cost, so you’d be making money by selling your offroad vehicles and utilizing this.
