85 to 88 Suzuki LT230S Quadsport help.
i just re-read my post and realized i meant to say good price for the buyer... not seller... whoops! anyways, yes, i did need the 4x4, too many of our trails around here are rutted up by the big 4x4s and i got tired of gettin off the QS and picking it up out of the muddy ruts when it bottomed out lol. It always kept up until that point. In the dry parts it was hard to beat though, until my hand got tired from clutching... call me soft haha
Ive got a creek behind my house that i plan on cutting some trails through, so the 4x4 will be nice in there as well

I just purchased some 22X7X10 ITP Holeshot H-D front tires and aluminum rims! These are going to great with my rear 20" itp holeshots on aluminum rims. I decided not to change the front bolt pattern since I got these cheap. I bought probably close to 600-700 worth of tires and rims for about $275, not bad. This quadsport should be pretty sick. The westcoast swingarm is coming along great, its going to have 4 needle bearings in it instead of 2. Durablue rear axle. Brand new bearings all around. +1.5" per side front a-arms. Lt250s engine with a new engine in the process of being built with all polished cases. Watch ebay guys, I'm going to be selling multiple polished cases in the next couple months, best auctioner will win them. I believe I will have two sets of left side cases to sell that are polished and one set of inner cases to sell that are polished. I'm sick of having all the extras, so in spare time I like to polish them and sell them, its a hobby.
Randy, I replaced the coil in the magneto and now getting 12v coming out. Before I wasn't getting anything.. I checked the connectors going to the coil while turning it over and I am getting absolutely nothing from it.. And I checked the ground that's good. It has to be the cdi I would think.. And yeah eBay has some I am on a tight budget can't afford $100 for one right now.. My birthday is on the 31st and was hoping to ride it by then.
I remember when I replaced my mag coil I wasn't getting anything either. Then I read the directions and it said to try turning the leads around. That fixed it.
Are you sure its supposed to be 12v? AC voltage should be coming out and before its regulated, I would guess higher than that. Are you measuring DC or AC voltage?
What is a fair price for one? I can ask around.

I was measuring in DC. I also thought it should've been getting more than 12v. I'm not sure tho. The cheapest I have seen one on eBay is $79. For the cdi that is.
Its a big pain but the quad was free. It sat outside in the weather for ten years so I have been having to replace a lot of parts. The motor itself has been completely been rebuilt with less than an hour on it. I took the carb apart to clean it and left the float at my buddy's house and his dad threw it away didn't know what it was for.. That's another 30 bucks haha..
But thanks for the help I would love to ride it.
What mag coil did you get? What brand? Did any papers come with it? Did you look at the paper? I installed mine like it came out, then it didn't work, so I looked at the paper and it said if it didn't work, to flip the wires around. It worked after that.
Unless you just hooked something up wrong and fried it, I've never heard of a cdi going bad. Especially just sittin around. Coils get hot and the enamel cracks and causes a short. Cdi's just sit there nice n cool.
