Throttle cable cap trx250ex

Hello all,
I’m new to the forum and I am not sure if I’m posting this in the right section but I have a 2004 trx250ex. I bought a new carburetor off of amazon. Now everything seems to line up except for the throttle cable. The old carb cap wont screw onto the new carb and it also wont come off of the throttle cable. It just seems to spin in place. I cant find a set screw or a c-ring that would be holding it on. Am I missing something or is it just not supposed to come off?
Thanks in advance for any help

Weak Links 06 Outlander

I just aquired an 06 Outlander Max 400 with 1300mi. The previous owner had hit a tree an written it off as scrap. I was able to make an easy trade for it. I stripped it down and found the left shock tower bent. After some blood sweat and redneckery it fixed and straight. Is there any recommendations on mods or upgrades on these. I’ve got no money invested in it yet but would like to make it as bullet proof as I can.

2005 Grizzly 660

I just picked up an 05 Grizzly 660 with 400 miles($3000). I am going to change all fluids and oil filter. Is there anything else I should do? It starts and runs fine, it seems to run best with a little choke to it. I was going to run some sea foam through it to clean the fuel system. All advice appreciated.

650 Outlander Max water pump

My wife and I finally got our first ride in this weekend. We had a blast! Put on 55 mi on winding, sandy forest trails.
I had the water pump seal replaced at the dealer under warranty before we went, as there was coolant in the drain tube. I checked it and there is about 2 in. of coolant in the tube again. About 900 mi on now.
Should I have them do it again, or do they always seep?
I also noted an annoying loud resonating type noise cruising around 25 mph or so. Hi or low gear. I didn’t have help to run it on Jackstands to see if it was the rear diff, or trans. Fluid level is good, but do have seepage at the pinion seal. I had wiped it clean before the trip.

Any advice? Normal or pursue problems?
