PM sent. Thanks bro, good lookin out.

I'm in the mountains west of Colorado Springs. However I work 75 miles north of me. Who knows, maybe this spring or summer I could come kick it up north for a weekend. Always looking for laid back peeps to ride with.

Ya sure your jetting and everything is spot on in the carb? Sounds like its drowning in fuel when you give it a braap. Hows your air filter...maybe she's not breathing right? Try it without the air filter and see what that yeilds ya.

Got ahold of him, just wanted to say thanks and good lookin out. He's got stellar prices now I just gotta get off my arse and get out to the garage and get the rest of the motor out. It's freakin 6° out there right now and not lookin like its gonna warm up until sometime mid next week. Anyhow, thanks for the heads up on the stock parts hookup...

Good lord...I sincerely apologize for that freakishly large picture...had no idea it would turn out that large...

Just thought I'd throw in there that theres a new product out there that we sell at my work called Spray Weld made by Jones Stephens Corporation. I work at a local Winnelson plumbing supply house. This stuff is still about 7 bucks a can but is cleaner/primer/cement all in one aerosol can. Pretty trick...our plumbers seem to like it. Also the rubber caps with hose clamps called jim caps are a way better option for plugging the exhaust side IMO. Spray Weld Jim Cap

You might have better luck posting this in the Wanted thread in the main forum...

Just wanted to say whatsup to everyone and introduce myself. I've got 4 quads, but my most recent purchase was a 2000 Banshee from a guy on craigslist who was hard up for cash and it was seized. I think I got a pretty smokin deal on it for $700.00 with all the aftermarket parts on it...nerfs, full skids, full FMF Fatty/Power Core duals. At any rate, after owning it for less than 12 hours, I've got the plastics, gas tank, cylinder head, and jugs off...bummer is, theres vertical play in the notorious right connecting rod...but o well, time to split the cases and have her ready to rip by spring. This thread will serve as a chronicle of my rebuild progress for those of you who might actually care. I don't plan on going crazy with the mods as this will be a family quad. I spent all my upgrade money on my Honda 400ex. So at this point, if anyone knows where I might be able to get a stock crank that is in good condition for a reasonable price, please enlighten me. I try to stay away from ebay from bad past experiences. Thanks for having me guys, and I apologize in advance for being a PITA if I have a lot of questions. I've rebuilt a ton of quads and bikes, so I'm sure I'll be allright though. And yeah, the bike came with the Clymers manual, and I have the factory Yamaha one too. O yea, I guess the reason it locked up on them was, they let a freind borrow it and that "friend" ran it out of coolant (must have had a bad head gasket or something) so she seized.
