williamjernigan Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I am going to purchase either lt250r 1985 model off of this site in the for sale forum or a tecate 4 off of ebay the tecate worries me a little because listen to what the guy says about it "Good clutch Good transmition (1 down 4 up)" I thought that they were a 6 speed tranny. Also listen to this "Needs a new Float needle to stop fuel in carb float bowl. Leaks slow if Main fuel is left on at tank when shut off for long periods of time.. (Looses about 1/4 tank over a week or so when sitting with main fuel on.)" I think I can get this for total including shipping for about 1800 or less. But the lt250r is very nice looking and seems to have no problems and is 1800 or best offer, but it is in Texas so shipping will be alot more. The tecate auction ends saturday. What would you guys get. I personally like the tecate because it is unique to say the least but I do like the lt as well. Help please.

Fireman-hott Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I have the same float needle problem in my 35mm keihin PWK. Just turn the gas off before you park it for the day. Ya know if anyone has a spare one around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 just curious why you are looking into buying these 2 models? there are many better choices out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 yeah, I'd look into something else, unless you want it for a show piece. They are good quads, just dont break them.....parts aint cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjernigan Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I just like the old school two strokes. I would love to get a honda 250r completely stock. Theirs one on ebay but they just sale for to much. The bids on it started at 1,000 and in one day it has already gone up to 2,850 and their is still 5 days left. So I basically have about 2,000 that I am willing to spend. I do have a 03 shee that I already am fixing up but I want another quad for my friends to ride so they don't have to ride on the back of mine. And I get tired of the same kind of ride after a while anyway. I want something that feels different and handles different. But seriously though, does that sound fishy about the 5 speed tecate 4 because the tecate 4 which I looked up on the internet has 6 speed. Could it be a 3 wheeler motor in the 4 wheeler frame. But then again it does fit perfectly so I dont think it could be. Or could it be that the clutch won't engage into 6th gear. Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) The first lt250s were 5 speeds, I owned one, and they're great machines if they're taken care of. Actually, they'll take some abuse, the main issue with those is the frame has some weak spots, but unless it was really pounded it'll probably be alright. I'd go with the lt250 in a heartbeat. EDIT: Shit I thought you were talking bout the lt, not tecate. I'd go with the tecate, they handle better, there's more stuff out there for em, and they're just plain sweet!! Seriously, you can't go wrong with an lt in decent shape! Edited October 1, 2004 by sredish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
