Help with oil contamination identification
I noticed when I drained the oil yesterday that there were some small chunks of something in the oil drain pan filter. I was about to have heart attack because it looked like aluminum and upon close inspection it turned out to be what looks like a grey O-ring that has been cut up into pieces.
Where would this O-ring be, I see it in the pictures of the Predator engine seal kits, but I don’t have a repair manual so can’t determine where it is from.
Next, is it going to hurt to run the motor with that seal missing inside, or could it have been off of a removable cap that happened to fall in engine, like the valve covers?
I think this thing has had hardly any ride time on it. No wear evident anywhere, grips, plastic, skids were all perfect condition. I think this may have been first oil change in the thing looking at all the fine metallic dust build up on drain plug but oil was very clean, it honestly seemed like the break-in oil.
Help me diagnose top end knock?
It has a top end knock that stops at idle after a few seconds.
Im hoping this is a case of a stretched cam chain, but thought you guys might recognize it.
It does start super easy – the moment you hit the starter in fact.
Seems to run well with good power aside from the knock.
Everybody likes videos. Here you go:
As soon as I get hold of my tools (in a storage unit) I’ll pull the timing chain tensioner and see if it’s maxed out, but until then, I’d love to hear what you guys think.
Thanks!

Slipe-On Exhaust
These exhaust are just ridiculously priced. I put the full system on my truck including two mufflers and all piping for what a Yoshi slipe on will cost me.
Was just trying to get something with little deeper growl, but don’t care about increased performance, as it won’t likely be noticeable anyway
Predator 500 runs then dies
I have a 2006 Predator 500. Ran fine then all of a sudden it bogged out and died then wouldnt restart. At first it turned over but wouldn’t fire. Fuel was low so I filled it and let it sit. The next day it started perfectly fine but would start then die. The quad is new to me and it looks like it has an aftermarket pipe and intake. Carb also looks new. I’m thinking possibly it may be carb related. It did also start backfiring before it died the first time the issue started. If anyone could help or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
