Hi folks i'm new here and found this site from The Vault.... Awesome site thank you atvman29. So heres my story I just bought a 86 LT230S a few days ago. The Jack A** thought it was a 2stroke and had been running mixed gas in it. From the research i have done this will kill the valves?? It plumes smoke petty bad. I have drained the tank and cleaned the carb. Also it is a nightmare to start so i start to think the valves again. Anyhow at this point I have decided to do a complete rebuild. I'm in the process of tearing it down now. (oh yeah I have no idea what i"m doing) so here's my first round of questions
1.) Any Idea how much to replace the valves??
2.) I cant find plastics for less than five hundred + shipping anywhere... anyone know where i can some cheap ones??
3.) is the frame the same as a 250r??
4.) Does anyone know if other damage can be done by this guy running mix gas in it??
Thanks to anyone that can help!! I'll try to post some pics tomorrow and along the way. I wasn't sure where to post this so if its in the wrong place I'm sorry and will be more than happy to move it.

and i would check to make sure your valves are actually bad. running mixed gas wont do much in the way of harming valves. it may, however, leave pretty serious carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, on the piston, and in the exhaust port.
