oil problem 1000 xt

rebuilt rotax motor- runs fine but low oil light comes on after warm up- crankcase is full in fact oil level increases to top of fill tube? where is oil level sensor in relationship to dipstick marks? how many return paths for oil from heads back to crankcase? I am stumped- any ideas?

Qsc Xmr850

Just got my qsc rev x from 3p off-road and seems good but when I get up to where the speed limiter kicks in 65mph it starts to bounce of the rev limiter. I called 3p they said change tip weight from 1/4 to 3/8 to fix. Changed it and it still does it and now 3p won’t return my calls. Any suggestions or is this normal for quad with clutches and a speed limiter

Traxter over ride mode to start

Have 2001 Traxter 7465 that the over ride mode to start by pulling in on brake lever to start while in gear stopped working. It will start if put it in neutral or park. I see where others have had the rear brake switch go bad, replaced with NAPA Echlin SL 134. My traxter does not have that switch. Any ideas what is causing my over ride mode not work

Dirty air filter causing horrible fuel smell?

Brought my 850xt in today to be looked at. I rode yesterday and put on about 23 miles. I used a half a tank and the fuel smell was horrible. The smell was strongest right by the pipe. I looked around the machine and didn’t see any leaks. But I noticed the clear tubes coming out of the tank had a small amount of fluid bouncing up and down the tubes. So I opened my gas cap and got a hissing sound and the fluid in the tube stopped moving around and disappeared in the lines. The machine never missed a beat the whole ride. So dealer called me and said my air filter was clogged. And that’s why the machine used up so much fuel. And it can also cause the bad fuel smell. As well as was fouling out my plugs. They said the hissing noise is normal. Does this sound right? I admit I haven’t checked my filter in a while. Shame on me.. anyway sorry about the long post. But thank you all for any help
