ATV Question

My father in law bought one for his camp. Awesome for storage, however, he had to run power to it and install power vents bc the passive vents on both ends weren’t enough. The gas smell almost knocked you out when you opened the doors after being closed awhile.

There are also solar charging options to keep your bike batteries fresh

Vent it. Plastics and rubbers don’t like sitting in basically a low temp oven.

The 520 is a more reliable motor.

Honda, Honda, Honda

I’d look at Can-Am before Polaris but you can’t go wrong with a Honda.

Picked up a 1000R Outlander XT yesterday and the thing has some balls It blows my Rincon 680 out of the water.

I think Can-Am has a 570 that might fit what you’re looking for.

Was about to ask an ATV question, and didn't wanna clog the thread. Not to sidetrack, but for guys running older four wheelers like a fourtrax 300, do you use ethanol free gas? I bought a refuge/wma/project one in decent shape that runs good (or it did when I test drove it, haven't been able to ride it since) but its now empty and the guy I bought it from said he always ran ethanol free. Which when I was a kid and we'd ride them back when they weren't so old we just put regular unleaded.

Also, if anyone knows a decent honda ate forum or four wheeler forum worth a damn, I'd appreciate it. I'm not trying to clog up tODboard with questions about 30 year old four wheelers.

Not a forum but here is a link to google drive with all kinds of ATV service manuals. fourtrax 300 manual is on there.

I have a 1990 Fourtrax. About all you need to know to get one running is:
1. Check for spark if no spark or weak yellow spark instead of bright blue it's the coil or CDI. Buying both will cost you about $17 on ebay.
2. If you have good spark it's the carburetor. Buy a new Chonda carb (Chinese Honda knockoff parts) $30-40. The 88-90 carb is different from the 91+ carb. The choke cable threaded part is a different diameter/size. It's also really easy to clean or rebuild the carb. There is only one adjustment on the carb. The air mixture screw which is set at 1 3/4 turns out.

Watch all three parts of this youtube video to show you how to clean or rebuild your carb.

Thanks for the confirmation on ethanol free. It seems to run well now, it doesn't have brakes, per usual, but I think it just needs an oil change and new oil filter and a new air filter whiile I'm at it. I will look at those links. I appreciate the info and the website rec.

Now back to the OP's question.
