1987 Honda TRX250X Restore Project!

[trapper 1306]

Well , just dug this out after sitting under my deck for 6 years. This quad being a little worse , visually at least, than the '94 Blaster I just finished a couple weeks ago. I took the plastics off, drained the fuel out of the tank and carb, and tried to get the plug out but a no normal socket would fit. So I tried relentlessly to get it to fire, but had no luck. Luck did come when my dad found the care package that came with the quad and bingo! a really skinny tube to remove the spark plug. So I took it out, wirewheeled it, and put it back in, one kick and vroom! fired right up runs great!!! Problems to be fixed on this quad include: Patch rear tire, new chain and sprockets, possible leak in the case (the chain guard is definately broke). Now off to pressure wash, then this week the teardown... PICS TO COME SOON I:I

[trapper 1306]

Haha thanks , yeah it will be a light overhaul, just painting and cleaning basically, and fixing it so it runs: parts I ordered today from Rocky Mtn are : Spark Plug, Uni Filter, Chain and sprocket kit. I'm hopefully gunna start tearing down and painting tonight.

Here it is after getting an extensive pressure wash:

well your at it pull the tank off and inspect the hump in the tank right behind the petcock on the bottom side there KNOWN to crack right there so inspect it for cracks before you put it together and find out its crack,.. a lil jb weld works wonders

 

[trapper 1306]

Well I had some time before work today to clean and paint the exhaust, along with the footpegs, airbo, and a few other little things. Then after work I tore off the rest of what I wanted to take off, sanded whirewheeled, cleaned, and then painted silver frame, red hubs tank sprockets handlebars bumpers, and black accents on a few things like calipers and brake and starter levers. Just need to get some high temp silver paint for the block tomorow and can start re assembly. Hopefully I can finish most of it tomorow then just waiting on parts from Rocky Mtn.

[trapper 1306]

Ahah yeah the F350 got a fifth wheel installed to pull the new 38' race trailer, and needed some new brakes, but thats not my project, thats my dad's ;] ..Kinda stuck now forgetting noone is home this morning to bring me to get paint X l so I'm gunna polish the rims and put the front end back together on it until I can get some paint for the motor later...
