how fast does a stock 1988 lt230 go? what would it beat in a race?

 

230S or 230E, in other words 5 speed manual, or 5 speed no clutch?

230S bone stock, about 48mph, but if he can keep the front down, it will get there fast! They are tourquey lil machines.
Mid 50's with intake, re-jet and exaust. I'm shootin for 70mph with my newest creation![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

mine is jetted with a DG exhaust and it runs about 65!..my buddy followed me in his car and wide open it was right about 65 mph constant speed!..pretty impressive for a 230!

 

gear it better and u can get a lil more 13-38 got me 67-68 but lost woods snap

 

Sounds like lack of fuel in the gasoline canister, this is a crucial component and some people don't even think about it. Yet it is the #1 cause of stalling while riding!
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Stand on the right side of the quad from riding position.
Start with the tip of the exhaust. Follow that to the motor. See where it connects? The spark plug should be nearby. Locate it.
Now look to the left. You should find a carburetor. Locate it.
There should be a rubber line connected to it. (Not to be confused with throttle cable or choke cable if your machine has one) locate it.
Now follow that line and you should reach a fuel filter. Consider it part of the line and keep following it.
When you reach the top you'll find a petcock valve. If it is switched to off, switch it to on. Of that doesn't resolve the issue, continue on.
The petcock valve should be connected to the gasoline canister, AKA gas tank. Find the top of the gasoline canister and nearby should be a cap. Locate it.
Detach cap from gasoline canister and look inside.
If there is no gasoline inside your gasoline canister, FILL THAT PUPPY UP!!
If there does happen to be gasoline inside your gasoline canister, then congratulations, this was a complete waste of time and I did not help solve your problem.
Good luck!
