Hopefully I'll be able to build a pair of running machines from the pile. The four KQ 300's are from a local ski resort. They were used to tow portable snow guns around. The plastics are junk from rolling down the mountain. I'll be starting with the Quadrunner as I was told it ran before being put away in the field of lost dreams.

Well welcome along to the site Foot.

I hope that you don't find all the bikes have the same parts missing/broken/worn out.. It's the problem with picking things up for spares, they all wear out the same bit.. The bit you need..

Good project though and you should get one or two at least going with minimum parts needed, and the rest could be dismantled for spare parts..

Yup that's the plan anyhow. The Quadrunner is moving along for now. I have to figure a way to get the kings up out of the mudnext.

Brakes should be any easy refresh. Dang start circuit plunger is arguing with me. The fuel pump and petcock passed the vacuum test. The spare failed.

There was no give in the hand lever so something was frozen. Cracked the bleeder on each side, one at a time and got fluid on both wheel cylinders, so that ruled out the master cylinder. Squeezed the dickens out of the hand lever and one side of the left wheel cylinder moved. Time to replace the wheel cylinders. I figured they were the issue. I've been soaking the choke circuit plunger for 3 days now. I had to go to town today so I stopped by the motor sports dealer and talked with a mechanic there. He said he's drilled a hole in the brass plunger and used an ez out in the past, that he'd seen it before on these Mikunies if they've sat a long time. I hate ez outs. So me being me I grabbed the cable right at the bendy bit and pulled so hard the cable came out of the plunger. I did get it loose but now I've deformed the bore by tapping the wrong thing with a punch. Theres a land in the bore i thought was the plunger. I forgot the plunger waa brass. I'm hoping I can get in there with a scraper and clean that edge up.I'm good at making work for myself.

The only damage, and the repair is holding, after over 10,000 miles rolling down 91 acres of mountain with a 1000' drop over 36 trails. Put to work in 95 brand new. Amazing durability if you ask me. Got all the bolts out, patience grasshopper.

A deer sure. Don't want to do the pig thing again
Gave it a good car wash once over this afternoon. Now to get it back inside between the rains.
Now this surprised me. I just knew it was going to a battle, but pulled right out.

And now it's ready for the ultrasonic gizmo. This thing is stanky. I love these little impacts for taking carbs apart, no more stripped heads.

Well it's got new cables and a Shindy kit. Got tired of fighting the choke cable. Grinder to the rescue. Heater ran out of fuel and the fingers were starting to freeze

Youch.. I hate that, and the worse thing isn't the immediate pain, it's knowing it's going to impair you for days..

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. o_O Did it feeding the wood boiler, being the pinky I'm still going. Later that day I changed out an electric water heater for a friend. A piece of pvc makes a great protector and fits in a work glove.
Haha.. Fair enough..

Keep up the good work. (helping a friend).
