my 230s is an good quad and has a nice amount of power but it burns spark plugs out fast. What could the problem be. I can ride some times for a week or so and it start to cut back aud pop back(replace the plug and it stop and run good). Some times they can burn out in a day, i realy dont know whats going on

 

hi their. first of all how does your plug look like. is it a tan like brown , black carbon , wet from to much gas, or a white tip colour.

 

hi sir, it is a black color, could it be burning to rich if so what cause that.

 

hi again... you can try leaning it out, buy taking the slide out from your carb, buy raising the needle clip up one notch thats the second notch from the top. only if your on the third notch] ...that should drop your needle down and lean it out a bit.. make sure you keep an eye out on you plug..see if it will clear up to a more tan colour. but make dam sure it dons;t come to a white colour..... go for a little ride, come back and check the plug you should see a diferrence in your plug colour. let me no what happens before you go any further with it.

 

what up sir, i tried what u told me and that help a little, but the plugs are still coming out black. I took the clip up once put in new plug and went out with a friend. Came back cut the bike off and let it roll in the yard (gone for about 10 min)pull out the new plug and it look like all the rest black, so i move the clip again and went for a ride and the same thing happen. Tha clip is at the top, do u know something else that might help me and my quad out.I only went up 1 jet size to this happen, now she is at stock and still doing the black plugs

 

hi: well i was looking in the manual under fouled plugs and it tells me. OIL FOULED. can be caused by excessive oil entering combustion chamber throught worn rings and piston, excessive clearance between valve guides and stems,or worn or loose bearings.can be cleaned. if engine is not repaired use a hotter plug...CARBON FOULED can be caused by to cold a plug,weak igniting,dirty air cleaner,too rich a fuel mixture or excessive idling. their is also a set scew under your carb. that would be your pilot jet it ca be turn at about 2 to 2half turns out well i quess you can try these options and see what happens

 

what up man, it is a rebuilt motor with only about 25 to 30 hours on it. I rebuilt it with new piston , rings, and got the wall borded out to stop and make sure that it would not smoke. the only thing that i did not do was get the vavle seals in cause i want to get it ported and polish. if it was those vavle seals would it smoke and what color would it be cause iall i every see is that black smoke Ok can you tell me how to adjust the vavles the right and corret way i know the my vavle gap specs they came with my stage 2 webcam was lookin and realy did not know how to go by doing it the rite way. Just put a knew air filter wind rebuilt the motor and keep it clean. oh and what type of plug and where do you think i can get one . sir i have notice some else thow if i run mostly 100 octane it dont fouled out fast it might just be i dont know, where can those bearings be found at so i can look at them and replace them. i am going to go back in my carb and c what the f--- is going on in there is the polit jet the same as the low speed jet. oh by the way that for the help hope that i can get it right cause iam ready to kick so 300 and 250 and those 200 chain saw motor azz
