Default Hi from Australia

Hi there

I may have an opportunity to purchase a Mammoth 800 from our site crew division here.
It is now surplus to needs.
I have had a quick look at it and a drive for a total of 20 feet forwards and 20 feet backwards
It has done 214 hrs across a number of sites and a number of users.
It blows a fair bit of smoke when cold and I did not get a chance to warm it up.
The driveline also feels strange but maybe I am just not used to the CVT.
What am I looking at to fix the smokiness issue. Just new rings? Tip some Wynns stop smoke into it?
I also here that most drive line issues ar a dodgy belt and that they are not to difficult to fix?
Anyone know where to direct me to a user manual please

Pete

Welcome to the forums.

Who makes Mammoth quads? My guess is that it's a Chinese knock-off of a major maker's quad. If it is I recommend avoiding it like the plague unless you're a really talented mechanic. Look in the Chinese quad section of the forum and you'll see the horror stories.

Thanks Guys

The brand is Kazuma. I believe the engine is a copy of a Suzuki 3 cyl , 800 cc .

I hear you about the Chinese stuff but my thought is , so long as you know what you are getting into with eyes wide open then no problem.

I find usually that there is just one or two dodgy engineering itmes in their equipment that can easily be overcome by effective preventative measures.

Ehh... One or two? On every chinese product, that ive noticed is chinese, has been made of ridiculously terrible materials, has major engineering flaws, and tears up soon after you buy it... Even those lights in autozone that say "try me", only half of them actaully work, you have to crack open the try me now battery pack and put the batteries in the right way before the demo will work... ridiculous..
Remember, it's not cheap if you have to buy it over and over again...
