Small Engines

I believe it is similar to my suzuki 500 the two side cover gaskets (clutch/magneto) are easy for someone who has experience, the crank case gasket at the center of the engine is very hard.

The engine would have to be taken out and almost completely dissembled to get to the center crank case gasket, at this point it may be easier to get a used engine, or if your going to keep it for a while you can rebuild the engine you have.

If your engine is leaking a little bit of oil, you can try some epoxy, clean the area with some sand paper and solvents to remove all oil/grease

I have a older model #30 jiffy it says the mixture is 24/1.

That all depends on the engine. In 2005 the XCSP was built with a four different twins from 500 to 800cc.

From what I remember the approximate numbers were as follows:

500 - 100hp

600 - 110hp

700 - 124hp

800 - 134hp

better sprocket configuration, better electronics, exhaust, carb and air filter would be the cheapest way to start

If oil is leaking at the top of the motor on a Yamaha 250 Bear tracker this could be caused by a head gasket or valve seal. To locate the exact source of the leak try removing the bolt near the top of the motor and use degreaser to clean the area. Once the area is clean run the Bear tracker to locate the leak.

Depends on where you're starting from. A drop bar road bike can be made a bit more user friendly by switching to a flat handlebar, and some slightly wider tires. Do note that you may end up having to get new shifters/brake levers to go on the flat bar.

Also note that not all road bikes are able to use wider tires, Check fork crown and chain stays for clearance.

If you're starting off with a MTB, start by replacing knobby tires with narrow, smooth ones. Next step is suspension. If you have a sus fork, replace it with a rigid one.

If your bike is full sus, sell it and buy a hybrid instead.

In 1958, he began marketing them under the Ski-Do brand in 1959.

I have heard of people doing so over the years, I however would not recommend it. The 4 cycle oil will not burn as clean (it was not formulated to be burned), so there is an enviromental conceren here. Also, because it was never intended to be burned, you will see excessive carbon build up in the head and exhaust passages of your engine. Lastly, I would add the fact that 2 cycle oil is cheaper than an engine overhaul. The other guy pretty much hit it right on, you definatly can but its not good for the engine and it will smoke like crazy. Ace Hardware sells 2 cycle oil quarts for like 5 bucks anyways. 4cycle oil has a lot of additives that are not needed in a 2 stroke. These unburnt chemicals can and will build up on the inside and in the pipe causing obstructions and excessive heat which is detrimental to the operation of the engine. If you do not have oil formulated for a 2 stroke engine, you can use SAE30W which has no added chemicals. If you do use this, you must mix it at twice the recommended mix ratio to get the lubrication that the oil is supposed to provide before it burns off.

Black smoke means it's getting too much gas. Gas at the air filter also means that it's getting too much gas. The most likely cause it that the float valve is either sticking or has something stuck in it letting gas continually seep by it. Sounds like a good carb cleaning is in order.....

NGK BPM7A is the one you will need

If it has a sight glass on the lower left side of engine , fill until the oil is halfway in between the lines . Start the motor to fill the oil filter , shut off and let the machine sit for awhile and recheck oil . Fill to center line .

The starter solenoid for most old Fords will work. If you need something specific, a 1975 Ford F-150 starter solenoid will work. Just make sure your replacement solenoid has 2 large posts and 2 small posts. (They all have 2 large posts, its the number of small posts thats important).

You can also order an exact replacement for about $15 here: http://www.greenpartstore.com/John-Deere-Starter-Solenoid-Kit--AM138497_p_5144.html

Good luck!

maybe it's a good thing you dont go fast forward......................remember what happened last time

I wouldn't recommend it. You'll just make it obnoxiously loud and likely lose horsepower due to the lower heat retention in the exhaust. If you would like a different sound there are many aftermarket systems designed for these sleds. SLP, MBRP, PSI and AAEN come to mind... Just be careful and RESPECTFUL!! with them, too many riding areas are no longer because of careless riders on loud sleds.

There should be a galvanized nipple with a cap on the end of it stick out the back of the snowblower. Take the cap off that nipple and tip back to drain the old oil. Fill oil via yellow oil cap on top of snowblower. Approx 3/4 of a quart.

first take a clear body and paint it white. then take the colors you want and spray. make sure you do this in the inside of the body.

You can get an Owners manual for you 316 JD at your local John Deere dealer. In this case you will need your serial # off the tractor and you will need to know if you have a Kohler, Onan P218G, Onan P217G, or a Onan B43E. Many of these dealers will mail you your manual if you don't feel like driving to the store.

You can try CNH's construction website, but you may have to contact a dealer or even buy an Owner's Manual for the machine. (A really good idea if you own one, or plan on buying one.)

If no accessories have been added that are draining the battery it is probably the voltage regulator . The voltage regulator will short out creating an open circuit , and the battery will drain back through it .

Check above your track some have a cooling system in there that some times gets cut into.You may have a bad gasket or crack in water jacket.
