I dont understand your question. should have sight glass on engine or a dipstick . check level by removing dipstick if equipped . check w engine cold before starting every time you want to ride. should be inside full marks or you can damage engine. sight glass should be full of oil if you can see silver inside glass dont start or ride. damage will occur.

SOURCE: instrument gauges are reading not accurate. oil

This model always this problem, usually after about 90,000 miles and the other instruments will eventually follow. There are companies that will repair this for you just use google (instrumentclusters.com) to find them. I was charged 185.00 for the repair... GM wanted over 500.00!

My 2007 Honda rancher 4x4 smokes bad, but has plenty of power what could this be

Normally there are three culprits to excessive smoke:

1. Cylinder or Piston Problems
2. Worn Valve Guides or
3. Worn Valve Seals** - there are seals that go around the valve stem at the top of the engine. Oil is pumped up to the top and dumped on top of the valve springs and the rocker assemblies to be lubricated. The stem on the valve has a seal - to prevent this oil from leaking down into the combustion chamber - forcing it to follow the proper route back into the crankcase. If your valve seals are shot - oil bypasses these seals and enters the combustion chamber - thereby creating excess smoke because you're now burning oil with the air/gas. Definitely could be possible - here's a diagram of the parts and a page that lists the three reasons for excessive smoke in 04-07 Ranchers. Hope this helps - good luck.

All The Best, Justin McCartney

If your engine is very, very cold, sub-zero temperatures, the oil may be affected. If it was working fine before and the only difference is the temperature, then the oil viscosity may be too thick to flow properly. (In Siberia, auto oil pans are heated with hand torches after stopping, so the oil with flow again.)

Gas guage does not read level accurately

I suspect that you will need the sender unit replaced. Check to make sure that it can be repaired under your warranty or if there has been a recall on your model.

change oil ? water wont compress!!! prolly gallded all internal parts . at this point i would try transmission fluid. drain oil and check for metal or allum. shavings. refill w/trans fluid , remove spark plug , add tfluid in very small amt to cyl. replace plug.start briefly dont rev eng at all . let idle if it will. maybe 1 to 2 mins. shut off let complete cool down . restart again w/same fluid. same as b4. stop drain fluid . smell t.fluid if burnt or not. flush cranckcase w/new oil. hope for the best here. refill eng to proper level and p++ y. has worked for me but wasnt severe as yours sounds to be. good luck let me know if it helps or not. be sure ALL TRANS FLUID IS GONE FROM ENG. B4 new oil is put in . replace oil filter too b4 trans fluid is added and after tfluid is emptied.

My 2003 polaris predator 90cc will start for a few seconds the power sports shop said the oil pump isn't working but it's all still hooked up now when u give it gas it boggs and dies could I be overloading...

Hey Anon, READ this over and over.. then read it again...
First, decide whether you are going to run an oil pump or not. I would recommend NOT running one if you are going to race this ATV.. properly premixed fuel/oil will never fail.. an oil pump can/will/HAS...
Remove and plug/seal all oil passages to and from the oil pump, seal the oil entrance connection to the cylinder with a good gasket sealer -NOT SILICONE - gasoline breaks it down!!
The only jets in a carburetor that ever need replacing, under normal situations, are the needle jet/jet needle combination-these wear out and are replaced as a set! There is no need to "re-jet" an unmodified engine until you get approx. 1000ft above sea level, then dropping the main jet ONE size usually works..(sometimes only raising the jet needle circlip two notches works if the bike isn't ran wide open for long distances).
NOW - - You decided to remove the oil pump - Drain all the gas out of the tank.. have a QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL clean and set the carburetor! Run a premix of QUALITY two-cycle oil at 24:1.. this WILL protect your engine under all/racing conditions!! NEVER- -NEVER try to get your engine running cleaner by reducing your oil mixture!!!! Always use the same oil mixture/ratio - spark plugs are much cheaper than pistons!!!! FIND a great two-cycle engine tuner that can "read a spark plug"....It's hard to find a really good two-cycle tuner than can actually "read" a spark plug....
I can tell if your timing is too advanced or too retarded, if your oil mixture is correct,.. if your jetting is correct.. your combustion chamber area is correct,...ALL by looking at your spark plug!!
.... I see amateur "tuners" and guys that call themselves mechanics try to get a two cycle engine running cleaner by reducing the oil mixture - (adjusting the oil/fuel).. and eventually end up frying the engine.. and they can't figure out why>>???
DO NOT mix more than you are going to use each time!!... (use the left over to kill weeds).. DO NOT put it in your vehicles - IT WILL (burning oil) clog your catalytic convert!!
Have you done any modifications to this engine? If so, then you need to find a qualified pro who knows how to read a spark plug and "jet" the engine accordingly.
... Do you live near North Alabama?.. I could help...
..If you are going to race this ATV, please find a good mechanic/tuner that can help...

MY BEST ADVICE - SUSPENSION TUNING will make her go faster than engine mods!!! (the faster it goes.. the better it MUST handle.. make it handle FIRST!!!
Contact any/all of these folks.. ask for their recommendations...(DO NOT overstate her abilities.. this will only hurt!!)

My big red is slow to start, like battery is weak. But, battery checks out ok.

The only thing i can recommend is using a little lighter oil this can help with starting during colder months BUT if this is driven a lot just leave the oil alone and try adding some fuel treatment to assist in starting removing water and moisture i think you will find this will help tremendously. Also starters do not last forever the do weaken over time so if this has had plenty of use you may find replacing it would be in your best interests so your not out somewhere stuck in it.
