I don't know what that is but what are those two big orange things? Are those the dry rotted tires you were talking about??? lol. I think you should Kreem the gas tank, otherwise, your carb problems might continue.

yay! got the carb all cleaned up, and fired her up tonight. took all but about 2 seconds to get her to fire up, and she purred like a kitten. which makes me happy considering how long its been since it last ran.

now i have electrical questions tho. the battery is shot, ive been jump starting it off my truck. when i checked voltage on the battery when it was running i got barely over 4v. is something wrong? or is the dead battery giving me false readings?

low voltage sounds like a dead cell in the battery....id replace the battery....cheap ones @ wallmart ..unless its not mantince free..then you can refill or replace the acid and prolong the life of the battery....your 88 looks juist llike the 300fw i bought not long ago looks like a nice quad
