Tore the quad apart today to try and get it running right again PICS

[awj8074]

****er keeps dieing on me when i'm riding i think it might be water in the gas or something clogging up the carb so we pulled everything apart today to look at the carb and see if there was anything stuck in the carb or if there were any signs of water. Didnt find **** but it happend to a friends last year and it ended up being a small bit of dirt clogging a jet in the carb so i'm thinking after riding tomorrow if it does it again i'll just pull the carb apart again and clean it since all my new parts come thursday so its gonna be back in pieces again anyway.

Really its pretty easy to get everyting off and theres nto much to a quad really.

[pro-rider46]

you should wash your quad so its spotless before you start wrenching on it. you will probably have a lot easier time working on it if its clean. just my two cents

[gcart2]

you run a k&n through mud with no cover?? wow.

[JJs450r]

haha ya theres two problems right there they just stated

[awj8074]

cant run a cover and i had heard bad things about k&n but it was a gift and i figured i'd give it a shot. But yea we rode the other night in the rain never got a chance to clean it before today but i tend to try and clean it. cant wait for everything to com sat so when i have all the plastic off i cna wash them all down and get into the other areas you never see wehn washing the quad

[ALAMX37]

I see cellulite. Oh and a dirty *** quad.

[StuckInTheMud]

PLEASE clean that before opening up anything, that is if you have to.... also you better seal up them wires that are uncovered such as in this pic below

[onebadr]

why cant u run a cover ? i would drf use one with a outerwears also try to wash it right after a ride u have a better shot keeping everything working smooth

[Jem450ER]

ya def always clean it first or you may just knock more dirt in the carb. i run a k&n with outerware and a ehs racing lid works sweet, i ride muddy, wet trails all the time

The service manual show a small screen filter where your fuel line goes to the carb, so you may won't to check it out and see if it is still there and clean it if it is.

Was wondering if the fuel filter was inside the carb we looked yesterday for one on the outside but found nothing. so yea thats the next step tried it out today to see if we had done anything and nope its still running fine 1 sec then like **** the next so i'm gonna powerwash it in a few then start tearing it back apart. The rest of the **** i ordered comes thrursday anyway so it needs to be clean for me to work on it then..

nice choice of Adult Beverages. I live like 30min from the Stone brewery, some of the best I have ever had. And the quad looks good, all nice and clean.

Up until about 4--5 months ago we had not stone brewery products around here. Now were getting them all. I'm stocked up on Arrogant *******, Double ******* and Old Guardian. And yea it always looks better clean and after dumping all the gas into a bucket it looiks like it was about 1/4 water. Sucks cuz its been pissing me off for so long. But after this coming weekend it should be back to running awesome and i cant wait for my Mudlite SP's to come in so i can mount them and do the rear carrier barring and sprockets and chain. Get this thing ready for summer.

[spdygonzalez450]

Stone has so many beers, its awesome to see that they are getting known and are shipping to more places, if you get runination out their try that out, great beer. I think I have had like 20 different beers from them so many special ones that i get living in san diego. but ya 1/4 water is never a good thing haha. My quad is out of commission for a while until i can save some funds and figure out what is wrong with it.

[JJs450r]

what kinda green truck is that?

Old Guradin is good but Barley wine ale still makes me think wtf

[spdygonzalez450]

Ya they have a ton of random brews, one of my favs is Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, sounds random but it was so good. and ya Barley wine def makes me think WTF, but man is it good, and very strong, they do make a ton of great beers, they have this brew called vertical epic its an annual beer, it started on 07/07/07 i believe and every year since they come out with a new one, like in 08 it was 08/08/08, im looking forward to the 09/09/09 and they are doing it till 12/12/12. So its pretty cool. If you cant tell I go their very offten. some good stuff

[awj8074]

Up in VT Long Trail Brewery, Harpoon Brewery, Magic Hat and a few other are all within 45mins of the house so I tend to go there often. Dont knwo if you guys get those out west but damn its some good beer and buy direct from teh brewery gives me some good deals. I'll grab a keg rom long trail 20mins fromthe house and its dirt cheap.

[awj8074]

Have any of you changed the carrier barring? I'm trying to find a schematics of the rear swingarm and **** so i knwo what i'm looking at when i do it next weekend.

Thats not nice. You should read up on cellulite. Its not always from being overweight. I've seen overweight people that don't have it. My girlfriend has it, and you can see her hip bones. She said it started when she got her peroid. Right around puberty, and her mom had it when she was young and she wasn't overweight.

[fastredrider44]

I thought the Cellulite crack was funny, didn't think he meant to offend.

Looks like you had quite a crowd when wrenching on your quad. Just keep an eye on 'em so you see if they do anything harmful by accident. And def. wash that thing before wrenching.

I told you the reason that water is getting into your gas tank on ther other thread you posted but you probably did not check it you dont need to tear down anything just replace your fuel with new stuff. The VENT HOSE that comes from the gas cap to the steering stem is what is drawing in the water the steering stem will hold water you need to cut the hose or buy the shorties for 6$

So its pretty much getting sucked into the tank? I think the water issue is more from when i sunk it but dont know i dont think that much water would get in through the vent hose but i could be wrong. All will be good after this weekend.

yeas the stem holds water and that could be your problem. Get a check valve topper for the line and you will be good to go.

I didnt ride after i sunk it cuz of ACL surgery and went out this winter and it was fine but now its just anything past 1/4 throttle and it just bogs and backfired and would start to die. I couldnt even keep up with my friends old *** warrior 350 lol
