upandgone Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 So did a plug chop on my quad, noticed clutch side was a little leaner than other side. I had 300 mains in, probably needs 280's? Installed timing plate at +4 and fmf sst golds. Either way did a visual check of the carb slides and everything seemed to open at the same time and all the way so I put a synchronizer further down on my list of buying. Next was doing a leak down test, made the intake side, but parts store only had one rubber plug so its on order for tomorrow morning. Figured Id pull the clutch cover off to install my billet water pump because it has to come off anyways due to checking the seals tomorrow for leaks. Well I have a feeling I already know whats the problem is. Suppose now would be a good time for a tare down and rebuild... If I knew how easy it was to pull these apart, I would have bought the cheaper one leaking oil out the seals. I would have had to do it in the end anyways.

CJ PERFORMANCE Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 u buy the quad like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upandgone Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah ran good, was stock and looked really clean. Like I said, if I would have known that, I would have passed. Plan on calling the place that sold it to me tomorrow to see what they can do. Probably nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 just tear it down and rebuild it. you will only waste your time calling and complaining. 50 dollar seal kit and 4hrs of your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider1026 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 just tear it down and rebuild it. you will only waste your time calling and complaining. 50 dollar seal kit and 4hrs of your time. X2 And for god sakes do not use rtv. Get some 1211 threebond. Cut the tranny, weld the crank, pancake bearing. Nice and solud bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 That looks like somebody tried to jamb a crank seal in there without splitting the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upandgone Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Good news, no leaks, had pressure on for a hour and was still the same when I came back. So I guess clean carbs and get a sync tool? Probably check spark plug boots also. Anything else I should look for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
