Hey all,

so i am about to start a project of getting a 2004 Kazuma Dingo 150 back to working after it has not been turned on or touched really in 2 years. i couldnt find any forums on this or help on google.

I want to flush the fluid systems; oil, brakes, gas, etc. im curious as to what the best way to flush the system and clean them internally im new to the whole ATV scene as well as im not an expert mechanic or anything. Id like to get the internals clean but dont want to ruin anything either. Just curious what you guys do and what works for you and especially what i should stay away from doing.

ive had to do this with several mowers, quads, and a couple boat motors..... wat i always do is completely drain everything... change the oil filter and clean out any screen mesh tht is in the lines for filtering...... after tht fill her up with new everything and fire it up..... ride it around for a lil bit to get everything circulating then drain all out again and fill back up.... after tht it should run pretty clean.... as for the fuel... buy you some fuel cleaner at a gas station and dump the correct amount in shown on the bottle.... tht will flush her out pretty good..... i always use "marvel mystery oil"

      My first trailer project.
      By Frank Angerano
      So I decided to pick up a small trailer if I could get one for the right price.  I found this one for a few hundred bucks on Craig’s list.  It is  a galvanized trailer which is exactly what I was looking for. The wood was shot and needed some minor repairs which I could care less about as long as the chassis was good. 
      I striped it down and put a new deck on. I had some vinyl realtree graphics that I had laying around so I added them to the fenders which I think worked out well. Very happy with this little guy.  
      I'm having the iron workers at my jobmake me up a few lightweight side rails that will have a 22 degree bend in them to accommodate the tires that slightly hang over the edge and will incorporate some tie down points as well.

      Need help! 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350
      By P_syko
      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
