Decided not to sell. Thanks

Didn't make it to the computer yet, I'm still on my phone. I can send it to your email

Trying to get rid of asap, huge money issues! I have always kept it in the garage, kept it up real well, and it runs great. Will have pics loaded up tomorrow, I'm on my iPhone at the moment, just checking interest. Pm me if interested, we can exchange #'s and meet up somewhere within Louisiana, cash only. First come first serve! Need gone!

I coulnd't have said it any better Tedd. Great post.

Along the lines of what Larry said; To answer your question about the crank seals - the reason transmission fluid can and sometimes does get into your actual cylinder chamber (above the piston) is due to the fact that on the downstroke of the pistion, it pushes whatever mixture is in the crankcase, below the pistion, (usually fuel and air in a normal condition) through the passages (aka transfer ports) into the chamber above the pistion, which is then squished and given spark upon the up stroke, so on and so forth. So if there is a flaw in the seal, that downward and upward motion of the pistion draws a vacuum that is strong enough to pull some of that fluid in. And again, as larry said, ride the quad for a few minutes to see if it gets better, giving it a few quick wraps of the throttle to clean out any possible contaminants lurking down in the crankcase. Hope this helps.

I have had a customer with a very similar build to yours and he, as well, inquired about the same "sinlge-carb" setup. I had a few different carburetors lying around that we actually tried on the bike to see what was in-fact a better fit for his desired riding style. We started out with a 34mm Keihin PJ carburetor, we found that it performed surprisingly well on the bottom, but fell off on the mid-top end range. Next we tried a 36mm Mikuni carburetor, and like-wise, performed similar to the PJ on the bottom, but really fell off in the middle. We then tried a 38mm Lectron carburetor and it outperformed the previous carburetors by a long-shot. As a side note - we spent nearly an hour for each carburetor trying to tune it for best performance in each area of throttle position and vehicle speed, what I am trying to say is - what may seem like a failure, may actually be the key once it is tuned or "dialed" in. Hope this helps.

The needle's "seat" could very well be the problem, but I would also check the mechanical functionality of the float and/or float lever, as well as the float level adjustment, i.e. (float height) If the "float height" is set high, it means that the floats actually sit lower in the carburetor bowl when upright - allowing the needle's seat to block off the main fuel passage when there is sufficient fuel in the bottom of the bowl to supply the motor, and when that fuel level gets too low, the float simply lowers with the level of the fuel and allows more to pour in, pretty simple in-fact. Now on the other hand, if the "float height" is set low, the floats sit higher in the bowl, requiring more fuel to rise the floats up and shut the main supply off. The problem begins when they are set "too low" and the amount of fuel required to rise the floats at the shut off point is greater than the amount it takes to "over-flow," hence the name "Overflow tubes." For more information, including proper float height adjustment, refer to the Cylmers manual if they are stock carburetors or the manufacturer's website. Hope this helps.

I have had a customer once that came in with an identical problem to yours and after dissasembly, the resulting problem was infact the head gasket, which in-turn allowed coolant to leak into that cylinder. I would check asap before it becomes a more severe problem. The one I did, actually rode it that way long enough to have the piston break off in a few spots due to the coolant in the chamber weakening the alloy, causing cracks, and eventualy breaks and chips. Hope this helps.

Sorry if I missed the answer to this, but when (if it isn't already) available to the public? Better yet a dealer, interested in a quantity of 25+ sets
