As long as you can blow thru the fuel supply, it'll be good enough.
You tried starting it with a air filter like that? Don't need a new one, you need to clean that one.
That hose simply goes to the brass barb in the pic.

Thanks LT.
The hose is broke off so I didn't know if I need to get a new one or not because it won't reach the brass barb.
One more thing.. should I clean the area around with cylinder?

Top highlight is the gasket. The second is the opening for the fan.
This next picture is the the top of the fan and I guess the beginning of the crank shaft? Is that sealed off between the seal, bearing and the rest of the crank shaft? My concern is dirt in the crank shaft and cleaning the area with some type of solvent and it dripping down. Would that be a bad thing?

I find it strange that while I don't like the fact that my son doesn't have a working quad I am actually enjoying learning and working on this equipment and it's all because of the people on this forum.

Worst comes to worst, do what you can or take it to a shop. Either way it will be better than a cheap Chinese Quad by a lot! (am I allowed to say those sorts of things?). Start with your back yard and real slow speeds etc.. The more he knows the setting and the like the better. Have his Mom show some support too. Maybe I'm lucky, my wife is one of the few people who don't think I'm crazy letting my daughter drive my car around the property at 11 (I starated teaching her at 9). This IS with close supervision, I am right there etc.. Maybe you were a little screwed, no worries, the idea is so right. Lucky boy to have this Dad!!

hope everything works out for you on your LT I work part time at a atv shop and we see a lot of quads come in that the owner didn't know they needed to clean the air filter or change the oil. we also see a lot of off brand atvs come in for repair and very few name brand atvs for repairs so even with the problems you have had with the LT you are better off with it but thats my 2 cents
