Hi all, so I’ve recently bought a 1990 TRX350. Got it for $450 so needless to say its rough. The previous owner messed up a ton of stuff including bypassing the fuel cut relay with a on/off pull switch running to an aftermarket pump also a 2 wire ignition toggle among other things. My newly installed parts to date are an oem ingition with all 6 wires going where they should, fuel pump (running off relay like its supposed to) ,choke cable new from the switch to plunger including cable retaining clip, carb kit,oil and filter, gear oil front and rear, Air filter, Fresh oil change and filter,spark plug,battery,starter relay. I’ve just adjusted the valves also. And frame has a nice new coat of tremclad 🙂

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.
