Hello all-
I was referred here from "tedpilot", a friend over in a private forum at atvconnection.
Maybe you guys can help me out on a few parts?
So- I recently acquired an fl250 that I'd like to restore. I traded an iphone 4 and a couple hundred $$ for it.
One of the previous owners, I guess, had raced it on a track, and had built a modified roll cage on the 250 platform. At the moment,
you pretty much have to enter it from the top and drop down unless
you're a contortionist and can twist yourself in from the side.
He put the stock 250
Engine back on it when I bought it.
It has quite a bit of play in the splines where the wheel hubs meet the axle. Not sure if it's the axle or hubs that are worn.
I just ordered a stainless 5 gallon top tank for it. but I can't find a decent seat. Trying to find a high back buggy seat- but having no luck.
I can find'em for about $150-$250, but they want $120 to ship it! which is total BS imo! I can ship a flipping couch for $120!!!
The throttle cable is a bit stiff, and the steering wheel cover switches are in bad shape. The Engine has a new top end on it and does run, but I'm
considering selling the
motor ((
Internal Combustion Engine ? )) and replacing it with a 400 - 500cc sled Engine. The brake & clutch work great. There's quite a bit of play in the gear box- not sure what is normal-
I'll have to read up on it. Tires & rims are basically new. I'll be disassembling, cutting & welding over the next few weeks. Would love to find a high-back seat and non-worn hubs for it...
I'm in douglas, ma 01516 (about 90 minutes south of manchester NH or 25 minutes north of providence, ri)
