Hey guys, where do I tuck this hose? Is it a drain or a breather? Looks like a breather to me.

 

Hose that big has gotta be the breather. Shove it under the gas tank or behind the engine between the swingarm n frame. Make sure the end is open so the engine can breathe.

 

hey guys, check this out:

pretty fancy, but a GSXR600 motor would have been much more appropriate :P

 

heres another cool one:

but once again, not the best motor choice haha

 

Hey 230sman, while you're here, how did you use the stock bolt on your nerfs? Did you cut down the spacers?

 

Crazy videos btw!

 

Hey everyone, I'm glad I finally found this site!

I recently came into possession of what I now believe is a 1985 Zuk lt230, Shaft-driven. The front plastic is missing all of it stickers except one on the right side that looks like half of a 3, followed by a "0 Shaf" Which I'm assuming used to read LT230 Shaft. The sticker on the front of the frame says it was manufactured in 10/1985.

The problem I'm having is the quad will start but then idles at an extremely high rpm and any gas at all causes it to choke out. I tore the carb apart and pulled the head off, the piston rings are good, valves are good, carb appears to be good.... when I got it, virtually all the fuel lines and hoses were hanging loose, so i'm not even sure I have them all put in the right place. Since this is my first quad and I'm actually just fixing it up for a Wolf Refuge out here in Colorado, I can't afford to go out and buy the book to adjust timing and figure out the hose routing, anyone have a place I could get PDF's of the hose routing or anything else on this fun little beast?

When I last ran it, I kicked it into gear for the sake of argument and it idled around at about 2 MPH and didn't even have enough power to push the bike over a 2x4 laying in front of it.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,
Shen

 

I honestly don't know haha! Maybe I'm missing something that is supposed to bolt on there so I have extra length left over or something, I really don't know. When I got my nerfs I simply didn't like the fact that it was cheap allthread with a nut tack welded on the top to act as a head. So I said "Eh what the heck, I'll try my oem bolt" and it fit perfectly.

Otherwise, the only "mod" I really remember doing to make the nerfs fit was I had to grind down a little tab of some sort on the right side footpeg. Did you have to do the same?

 

Hey and welcome the the forum!

Hmmm... Sounds like a vacuum line is mis-routed or leaking (or atleast that could explain some things if it has a CV type carb). If it has a VM type carb, theyre super simple and you might as well toss a rebuild kit in it (~$15). If your valves are adjusted good, and you have good compression and spark, things should only be a matter of adjustments from there on.

 

hmm that's weird. No I didin't have to trim anything. Almost does seem like we had two different kits!
