Traded for a 1985 Suzuki LT250 with thick green paint that's peeling and cracking.

Want to remove all the the paint and start fresh.

Anyone know of something that's effective and won't hurt the plastic.

Appears to have multiple coats.

Any help will be appreciated...

i use dollar store sink/dishes green scouring pad rectangle fuzzy things to sand it down/ then try to hide the bad looking spots with a darker color (if you look close you see the imperfections)

I like to wrap this type of plastic around everything

I use a piece of plastic tied on by a rope overtop of a table like this as a paint table for old rusty parts that get taken off of the machines

(sand all the rust off with the scouring pads/sometimes use the air tool/ wire spinny wheel dremel tool

(but if the part looks super rusty idk if the dremel will put holes in it.

You can try oven cleaner, sometimes that will bubble the paint but shouldn't hurt the plastic.  If you can get it to bubble a little, a pressure washer will do the hard work.

Lots of times on paint that is that badly done, you'll get the paint off only to find that they sanded it with 36 grit and ruined the plastic.

      Bought 4 wheeler for kids. Used to run and soon as it was put in gear it died. I have put new carburater, new plug and battery. The neutral light won't come on. I replaced the solenoid, then the positive battery cable and today put new relay assembly on. Still no neutral light. Not getting any juice and I don't know why.

      Hello all! I’m new to the 4 wheeler world, but not new to the mechanic world. I was a diesel mechanic for many years and last year got into jet skis. I just bought a 1987 Yamaha moto 4 350 and now learning the ins and outs of 2 stroke engines. Looking forward to learning all the things.

      Bought the project a few weeks ago with weak and intermittent spark. I could smack the CDI box with a screwdriver and it would work fine for a few days. Now, the smack trick is not working and machine is running awful with the weak spark and will most often not fire enough to turn the engine over through combustion (cranks very good). I ordered the GY6 CDI to see if I can get it going again as these CDI boxes are way too expensive even used. battery is fully charged and charging very good.
       
      Wondering if anyone knows how the GY6 (6-pin AC) CDI would wire to this machine. Attached is the electrical diagram. My confusion is with the green and orange wires sharing the 2-pin connector and the Blk/Red wire that runs to the magneto solo. How would I get AC power to the CDI through pin 1 on the GY6 when the CDI has two wires to the pickup-myabe just try one (orange then green) at a time?
