I am sure that there are plenty of guys on this site that will get you the info you need. You made a great buy IMO. Have fun!

Thanks, i have already found why the electric start did not work! Someone had cut the fuse out and did not hook it back up after doing that the little starter/solenoid will make a clicking sound so i guess that is bad.

It didn't even have a air filter on it........it had the screen but no foam filter, changed the oil as well it looked like black water! Im surprised it even ran.

The back shock is real springy and it goes down alot more than 2 inches it goes down to almost the tires, how do you know if a shock is bad? I'll adjust the big ring on the shock and see if that hepls but i dought it will.

Your shock does not have anything to do with how far your seat goes down when you sit on it. Your shock only acts as a dampener. The spring is what holds your weight. If you didn't have the spring you could compress the shock by hand. If you shock is wore out the 4 wheeler should be kinda bouncy, like when you hit a bump on smooth pavement the bike just keeps bouncing. It works the same in a car.
