Ok at first we thought the 450mxr was just badly flooded, and now its turned into smoke coming from the shift lever seal/ gasket thing, we started by just trying to start the quad which didnt work so we pulled the plug and it wasnt wet so we put it back in choked it, pumped the throttle (which we now know was bad ha) and checked it again and it was wet so we took the plug out ran it a bit with it out and put a new plug in and it popped once and then it was quiet for good. So tonight we did the same process again and the last time we pulled the plug we blew in the plug hole a bit and put the plug back in and tried turning it over and thats when the smoke began coming out of the shift lever seal so, any ideas what happened how to fix. Daryl rath said it might be something with the flywheel key and the timing being off maybe. HELP PLEASE!
