Found a few fishy spots in the harness where previous attempts at repairs had been shoddily made and hidden with black tape. So, after cleaning it up enough to turn wrenches without looking like a Texas oilman, I took off the plastics and started poking around. And now it just plain wouldn't fire at all. PO mentioned that he "had it running at the beginning of the season, but it was 'rough' " and that he had cleaned the carb, but it didn't help much. Managed to find the VIN hiding in there and ran it for giggles. The entire left side of the crankcase was covered in an eighth inch of caked oil mud, as though there had been a catastrophic loss of oil at some point in the past, because it was nowhere near the drain or fill holes. Got it home, and hit it with a healthy dose of bike wash and the pressure washer, more bike wash, a lot of scrubbing, and more pressure washing to get years worth of crud off of it. Average ownership period ranges from 6 months to 2 years.
#1992 polaris trail boss 250 registration
Looked it over and handed him the three bills in exchange for a transferrable registration from 11 years ago, and a STACK of handwritten bills of sale from the last 11 years, since apparently no one has gotten it functional (for long). Showed up about 20 minutes early to find him and his buddy hastily reassembling the pile of plastics into a semi-presentable quad, using some real sweet bulk bin galvanized hex bolts from Tractor Supply Racing Co. Naturally, I'm like "Hook up the trailer, let's go get this pile of eBay parts!" and hauled ass to this dude's house with 3 crisp Benjamins to wave under his nose. Gotta love Facebook Marketplace, and the crackheads that you can buy things from on there. Synthetic oils are best but pricier, if you can afford the cost you can't go wrong with them,Good luck with your choice! On the safe side if your bike is air cooled a 50:1 (0r 2%) ratio should be fine with no issues whatsoever for a healthy and prolonged engine life, then see if smoke is acceptable for your taste, if too much you can lower it down to 1.75% provided you use ONLY high quality API-TC oil suited for your engine, whether is air cooled or water cooled . it all depends on what kind of use you intend for your machine and the smoke ammount you (or your neighboors) are willing to accept. That is 2% oil in volume (in other words 2 liters of oil for every 100 lts gas).Depending on the oil manufacturer ,there some that even recommend lower f-o ratios like 1.75%. Estimated Friend old two strokes manufacturers used to recommend 25:1 even 20:1 fuel to oil ratios but that was when 2T oils were in their early development phase and there were no EPA regulations.nowadays oil manufacturers recommend 50:1 f/o ratios.
