94 polari sportsman problems and questions
Background of wheeler. I got the bike on trade and it didn’t run. So I did the basics like clean carb and gas tank and well starter was squalling pretty good but it got it started so I replaced the starter all new. Well noticed crack in reservoir and fixed it with resin and plastic weld held up good. Noticed a few other little things such as throttle cable replaced due to breakage on oil pump side. Adjusted everything in specs by the manual and still could not get the thing to stay idle due to the ETC and was adjusted by the book to its specs. Alrighty fixed that by unhooking it for now. Will not idle ion revers or go in reverse by speed wise with the rev limiter hooked up so I unhooked it and it works good until I replace it. That’s the way im going to run it for now.
Alrighty my questions I have.
1. Motor over heated and popped line off of the top of the head and now When you pull cap off of radiator it shoots antifreeze 5 feet in air. What do I need tostart checking?
2. I know lights on dash are blown so im going to swap those to LEDS if I can or can I?
3. I have not checked the fan and how do you check it?
4. I know most likely since the bang with the line popping off that the head gasket needs replaced. How hard is it?
5. With me doing it by myself. Do I need to go ahead and replace the seal in between the water pump and inner case ? or do you think I can just get away with replacing the head gasket?
6. I am pretty mechanically inclined so I know I can do the work myself just realy never messed with a 2 stroke engine before so is this going to be an Easier task or pretty hard to accomplish?
Thanks for reading this long session.,
TRX350 questions
My first few questions of many are…
1- At the choke switch my cable end falls out the bottom. Am I missing something?
2- Is there adjustment for the choke as in or out doesn’t make any change to how it runs.
3- Hard to start if it has sat for a few days like the carb is dry but I have no leaks.
4- I have smoke puffing out the crankcase vent tubes once it warms up. Causes?
This quad has seen better days and was not well takin care of. It’s in good hands now. I believe it has sat along time also so I am hoping once I get the brakes working and go for a good run everything will straighten out. Any suggestions would be great.
2004 Grizzly 660 Will Not Start After Being Washed
Could the issue be water getting into the fuel somehow? I have instructed him not to spray the water hose at the carb or the top of the fuel tank where the cap is but it still didn’t seem to avoid the issue this last time. Is there something else that we should be avoiding when washing the ATV? I hate having to wait for hours after washing it to finally get it started and pulled into the shop.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
