Hi, I live in Sellersburg, IN. Where abouts are you from?

Sorry I don't do that kind of work. Does your atv need new piston rings? What kind of atv is it?

hey whats up i live about 40 minutes from jasper, i live in cannelton/ tell city right on the border of ky. i just got my first fourwheeler about 2 weeks ago and rode it for 3 days and am having to have the rings replaced, but it wold be great to get together and ride sometime in a group, i have only been riding with my brother on 5 acres of woods and it aint very thrilling lol, i am currently waiting on piston rings from the dealer which should have been here today but they forgot to call in the order now i have to wait till tomorrow to get them and then i have to wait 5-7 more business days for the top end gaskets which were re- oredered due to a declined credit card of my grandpas lol so im not having much luck with getting my atv back togfether and the guy i am having help me i dont know if we are gonna be able to get it back together right or not, he has never worked on atv;s only car engines so im hoping when we put everything back together it will stay together and run right, but yea next time you get a group together to go riding give me a shout as i am currently jobless i have plenty of freetime lol

glad to hear that somebody is so close. well i can do the ring job for u. i work at jasper desk and work 32 weekly from mon thru thurs. i also have alot of time on my hands to.
although ive been doing alot of machanicle work on the week ends. i still find the time to go wheel. i just rebuilt the brakes on a trx 250 today and put rings on a yamaha 200 2stroke blaster today. im free from work and wont hardly charge anything. i mostly do my work for friends and family. but alls you have to do is haul ur atv over with all the parts u need and we can finish up the same day. first time is no charge at all.

that is awesome to hear im currently waiting on a top end gasket kit which should have been here 3 days ago, my friend already has the top end of the engine off so im hoping he will be able to get it all back together cuz he has never done an atv engine before only cars lol but if he cant get it back together i will try to find a way to get it to jasper hopefully the gaskets will be here today:P

Well that's great! hope you get it worked out. if not then ill help. if he knows cars or basics of braking a motor down. then I'm thinking hes gotta good idea on putting it back together. just run the specs and you should be fine.
