Recommended Posts

hi there folks

i hope someone can give me some advice on the problem i,m having with my recently bought atv , it,s a 260cc Linhai 4stroke engine from 2005 with 2300 Miles on it

and the problem is that i keep finding oil in my airfilterbox ,allot

and it,s not airfilter oil as i need a dry airfilter

it looks like it gets blown in thrue a tube that is connected from the engine

does annyone know something about this ??

and is it normal that air is blowing out the oilfilling opening with allot of pressure??

i noticed when filling the oil and having the engine running stationary

sorry for the misspells as i live in the Netherlands

and thanks in advance oakleyz

The tube going from your Airbox is a Crank Case Tube.....The only way (the way I see it) the oil can get in the Air box is through there.....

2 Things can cause this...Overfilling the Oil which causes more pressure Build up thus the oil getting in the Airbox....Or,,,,,Bad piston Rings.....

If you dont have Blue Smoke coming out the Tail Pipe then its not the Rings.....

Another Thing......

You dont want a DRY FILTER.....All Filters(At least the ones that I know about) use some sort of Filter oil.....That is what Catches the Particles.......Dry is not good.....

Thanks for the reply

yeah your wright the oil comes in thrue the tube i can see that inside the airfilterbox

i don,t have blue smoke either and the crankcase was empty while the airfilterbox was filled with oil

and i did find out that my quad uses a dry airfilter

do bad piston rings allso cause a bad cold start??

thanks for the help

Well here is my Suggestion then.....I would Drain the Oil......Then I would fill it up with the Recommended Amount of oil.....Remove the Airbox and Vent Tube and clean with Carb Cleaner....Make sure that you Wipe it down clean...Reinstall....Fire the Bike up and let it run for about 2 min. then shut it down and Recheck your Oil...

Sounds to me like you had it too full to begin with.....Or,,,,,Have you ever had the Bike on its Rear End for long Periods of time?????

Hope this helps....

hi there i almost already did what you asked

i hav evenbeen driving for 1 hour instead of 2 min

and after 1 hour of dricing there was a drop of oil again in the airfilterbox

and i bought the quad second hand so it could be that the quad was on his back

and the owner never told me because it was an ex-rental quad

i,ll take a picture today and post it here

so you can see

anny idea about the bad starting is maybe connected to this oil problem?

Sounds like he did have it on its "Back".....Im glad that that seemed to do the Trick for ya....

On the Starting thing....It could be any number of things but where I would start first is the Spark Plug....Install a new one with the proper GAP....Make sure your Valves are Adjusted Properly....Carb could be a Key factor here too....You need Air/Fuel/Spark to start something...The first thing you need is Air.....Try taking the Filter out of it....Then Start it.....If it Starts easy then you know its your Filter....And So on

Yeah you never know how that thing was ridden if it was a rental...It does sound like you are in better shape with it.

true ,

but the guy who sold me the qaud was allso the owner and the tour guide

and he said nothing to bad ever happend to them

just plastic dammage

and ruined piston rings in 1500miles

i don,t know what to believe annymore

i just know the quad still won,t cold start and oil keeps comming in the box...

Did you try this?????

Not sure what to say about the Oil in the Airbox anymore.....Take a look at the top end....It might need Rings....But,,,,,You say no Smoke??? At this point....Im out of Ideas....If you dont know how to work on it....I say take it to a Dealer and have them Deal with it...:laugh:

hi there again

just went to an ATV shop and bought a new sparlplugg and got some info

mine did look like the one "dry and wet fouling"

but no luck on the starting with a new sparkplugg

, the mechanic from the shop thought it could be the

electric choke on the carburator

just to replace this would be $140,-

and there hourly fee is $80,-

so i,m not quit shure to bring it to a dealer ....yet

because if it,s not the electric choke they probably to

will spend hours locating the problem and my pockets are emty :)

thanks for the help guys

      Hi Everyone,
      I recently purchased a 2005 50cc Polaris Predator for my granddaughter.
      The wiring is a mess. most of it appears to be jumpered out (twisted together).
      I installed a new carburetor. The gas tank was cracked so I found another one on ebay and got that installed. There is no air filter box. I ordered another one but, it has not arrived yet.
      I did get it cranked with the kick start. But, it idles too fast and when you give it any throttle the motor dies off. The more throttle you give it the faster it dies off. It is very hard to start when it has not been running for a while. However, once it has warmed up, it starts on the first kick every time after that.
      I am looking for a little assistance in getting it running better and also a wiring diagram and service manual if possible.
      Thanks in advance....

      Oil is getting in the air box from crankcase vent tube, I put the two hoses that go to the air box together then something started to smoke on the front of the engine. There is a filter? In the line I blew that out.

      Greetings, 
      Have a 88 LT80 that been sitting for a couple years. Bought a new piston, cylinder and head. Installed these, rolled it over and it quickly locks up.  Took carb apart. It was full of what appears to be 2 cycle oil. Cleaned it, but keeps locking up and 2 cycle oil continues to seap from exhaust port.  When i installed new cylinder, I noticed crankcase was full of oil.  I'm now wondering if that oil is what's getting sucked up into cylinder.  Should there be no oil in crankcase?  If that the case, how is crank and rod lubricated?  Sorry, never worked on a 2 stroke. Thanks!
