Great forum, i’ve been creeping around for awhile and figured id have to reg here to ask about this rig.
I picked up this 1990 250 2×4 trail boss a cple years ago. Fresh gas,cleaned the carb,new plug and it hasn’t let me down since. Ive been working on ATV’s and small engines my whole life and this one is getting the best of me.
Was out riding over the weekend and it came to a sputtering stop and wont restart.
I went through the carb,have great spark, 125# compression and pulled the crank case drain and nothing came out.
I can get it to fire if i spray starting fluid into the carb while cranking and that’s it. I’m getting gas and bright blue spark.
I notice i’m not getting any major suction through the throat of the carb, like it isn’t drawing vacuum through it to draw gas into the cylinder.
So with my research it seems i need to replace the 2 crank oil seals, does this sound like the next direction to take?
These are the original batteries so I am not complaining that they won’t charge anymore. The dealer says there is a possibility all batteries may not need to be replaced. If so they quoted $2600 which took my breath away. Questions:
1. Should I replace all even if only some are bad?
2. Is there an upgraded technology from 2012 that I should consider
3. Is swapping out the batteries that complicated? I can get 8 appropriate batteries at Batteries Plus for $265 per battery and save quite a bit…

Well I’m new here just purchased a 2016 Can Am Outlander L 570, first day out had an awesome day beautiful machine. Was heading back to truck while playing in brush as I headed up hill i started to spin tires so I threw it in reverse and just so happened I ran over a nest of about 500 ground bees, I panicked as most people would threw it in reverse, as I was stung about 20 times I pushed reverse override to get away faster because I had nowhere to go. Turned bars to fast and rolled her over one time at about 10 mph on her right rear end. It landed upright. Looked like minimal damage (besides my right shoulder which dislocated) at first but removed back rack and started to look more into It I believe my handlebars are bent, theirs no play in steering column but front left tire took a good hit when she landed and theirs some grass and dirt between tire and rim, Is that something to worry about?. Seems out of alignment also, I don’t believe the steering stem is bent but then again I haven’t looked, tie rods look fine.
I’ve been browsing the forum and have heard a lot about people putting aftermarket handle bars that are much sturdier one person mentioned using renegade bars. If anyone could give me a little information that would be great. Don’t want to void my warranty.
Also if the rack is totally shot so anyone know of any good aftermarket ones? And should I be looking for outlander l specific parts or what’s the deal with that???
P.s. this is my first ATV ever so be gentle on me my pride is hurt enough already
This might be a dumb question but does the black and yellow wire go to the green post on the coil on a trx30tm1? The schematic doesn’t point out positive and negative on this coil and i’m a newbie.
