Used 4-wheeler - assessing / determining a value before buying

Pecos?
What's that code for?

Code for "iPhone autocorrect is mediocre at best".

I poured SeaFoam in my oil one time. The engine stalled out on me and wouldn't crank for 5 min! I guess it cleaned that sucker pretty good. I ran it in my fuel several times though with no issues.

Ive used to for a stuck roller rocker. Was a total life safer and yes it works great in oil just before an oil change.

I did it about two miles before an ok change. I've heard "just before an oil change" but wasn't sure how exact that was. So I bought some at advanced auto parts, poured it in the engine, drove home, and changed it.

O'Reilly vs Walmart prices ....

Seafoam is $1 less at Oreilly while Marvel Mystery is $3 more at WM.

Both big buyers, both probably get them from the same distributor. Go figure .....

Don't make much sense

My dad used to drain a quart of oil prior to an oil change, then add a quart of diesel fuel to the oil crankcase. He would run it for 3 minutes prior to draining the oil. Not sure exactly what that was supposed to do, but he learned it from a race car engine builder. And he got 200K+ miles from Chevy 350's for several decades doing that.

It has cleaners in it. Its the same as running seafoam or atf fluid in your oil before a change.

I called the only local upholstery shop and told him I needed an ATV seat recovered. He said *$65*. When I showed up, the guy (different from phone call) started writing a ticket while explaining what they would do. He proudly announced a number over $100!

*cough - choke - hack*

I had to rough him up a little but got the number below what I paid for the ATV .... LoL

I waited for good light today but it's going to be cloudy until Wednesday. The pics make it appear to have a grey tint but the seat and rack are desert tan. Rack paint has a granular texture too.

And as a reminder ....

Looks good Curtis. Did you take out any extra life insurance?

 

[AngeliaH]

Nice! Just don't go chasing Bambi in the woods and wreck it. Leave the deer alone too.

 

[txbikerman]

looks good curtis

 

[Glockster69]

Life insurance? I'd have to list beneficiaries. - lol

HA! Literally chased 3 Bambies about 30 seconds after the pics were taken.

Thanks for the compliments but you don't think it looks gay now? I'm pleased with the seat (don't want a black one for summer time) but the rack seems a bit much on the tan. I've still got the front rack to do also. I could paint the *Kawasaki* letters and the raised ridges in black or brown to break it up or do a camo scheme (which I'm not a big fan of).

 

[AngeliaH]

Painting the letters would be good. Or at least outline them.

 

[txbikerman]

the racks would look better black. imo

 

[Vaquero]

I like the racks.
The atv is looking good all aroung Curtis.
Grats!

looks good curtis

Looks good man. gay?

 

[shooterfpga]

Lookin good. If you do go for camo, sponge it. It gives a way better look than having to tape or randomly stripe different colors.

Wow, I thought this thread was DOA ... lol

Got the front rack painted a couple of days ago. Front and rear racks ready to be re-installed but weather has gone south. Will post pics once they are GTG.

If I go camo, it will likely be a leaf design.

ETA: front rack support frame was broke in two, that has been repaired also.

 

[deemus]

I used a leaf design, using oak leaves from my yard. Looks cool.
