They are a must have if you have acreage, at least for me anyway, im getting older and dont like to walk so much anymore, would rathar ride.

Thanks for the info , i generally use Kenda Bear Paw, but the SunF are getting very popular, with a great aggressive tread design.

Why THANK YOU Little Guy ... glad you enjoyed the video ... and Thank You for watch'in too!! Yes, the machine is a Great One!! ... And I have a blast on it!! ...

I've got the same Quad, 96 model, I've used Sun F tires only, best I've had on a 4x4!

There are several good models to choose from, I PREFER HONDAS OR YAMAHAS. DON'T GET TOO FANCY WITH ALL THE OPTIONS THAT YOU CAN GET ON AN ATV. BUY A PLAIN JANE. BUY A USED MODEL, BUY An EARLY 2000 OR A LATE 1990S MODEL. THEY ARE EASY TO REPAIR AND KEEP RUNNING. KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Looks like a good machine, nice one

That's wild, glad you are still alive!

I got to get me one of these

I've done it in my little s10, managable!

I've never had a problem so long as I cleaned up the rim where the bead sits

Damn nice work!

Just looking up some pictures of that unit, looks cool!

I never grew up around them, but once I bought rural land the need arose, so glad I found out about them!

I've been eyeballing some swamp lites by interco

For me its just at my place, to get jobs done

Cool article, looks like fun

I did'nt know an exhaust leak could cause backfires, thanks for the tip!

Nice job. Man those tires look mean!

WOW not what I'd want to find!

Hmm very useful info, iirc this is the same for the bayou 400

Good work. I like that you cleaned and inspected the drive system and didn't just condemn it out of hand, and then you got it working. Even if it does need a bit of work after a while it lets you test everything else. It's important we use our discretion when choosing what needs replacing. That's good work..

Well after driving it around a bit and having to replace a stuck thermostat it seems to be running well and has good power I have noticed gear oil coming from the front diff pinion seal area so I guess I'll be exploring that issue sooner than later.

When a carb starts backfiring it's normally because the mixture is too lean. It can be caused by badly retarded ignition timing or tight valve clearance, but mostly it's a lean mixture, especially if it does it more as you open the throttle more. The flooding out the overflow is a different problem..

Well the circumstances should be considered here.. It takes about 20 minutes before the trouble starts manifesting.. A blocked fuel tank breather could cause problems like that. A blocked vent normally causes a fuel shortage as the tank starts to get a vacuum in it and the fuel stops flowing. It can happen though that a blocked vent can cause the carb to flood, but it's normally when the bike gets parked in the sun and the tank pressurises. It is possible though that in this case a blocked vent, despite the fuel being taken out of the tank as the engine runs, is actually letting the tank pressurise as the engine or sun warms the tank up. Check the fuel tank and the carb breather hoses are attached to the right place, and that they are clear.

I've since switched to another carb,I've read online a lot of people switched to smaller carbs due to flooding issues. This worked for me . Switched from the original vm34 to a vm32 from my 85 2wd bike. It was running perfectly, UNTIL, get this : Bike runs for 15mins or so till it gets hot. Then it backfires a bit and makes popping noises through the carb. Then it spitters and cuts out like it don't wanna run . Let it sit for a bit to cool down then starts back up like nothing happened. don't know if this is a fuel pump issue or some sort of electrical or mechanical issue? Man I thought I finally had this bike ready to take on a run. Guess not
