Well, got a 2003 Traxter 500 on trade for about $400, but the guy confessed that it smoked like chimney. Put gas in it, cleaned the spark plugs and put a fresh battery in it….sure enough. Smoked so bad that it drove me out of my shop in short order. Think I found the reason it is smoking, but now need to find the reason the oil ring failed. I’m thinking the cylinder is "egged", but gonna mic it first chance I can. Everything looks great on the body and the even the CV boots are in great shape. I hate having them bored….pain in the rump. To add insult to injury, my 2000 Traxter 500 seems to have had the magneto go out on it. WAY to many projects….
Here is the latest project……..
