250 2stroke polaris trailblazer quad engine issues

[masterblaster]

just picked up this 250 quad TB. a few months back,

it rode fine for a while its not electric start but it takes a key and im not sure what year it is, or even how to find what year it may be.

when i first got it i accidentley mixed the gas and poured it straight in, instead of putting the 2stroke mix in the one side, and the gas in the other
( it mixes itself )

i think this may be the problem, but when i turn the key and pull the cord there is wayy too much tension on the line, like the motor is seized or something?

im thinkin i may have ruined the seals/gaskets around the engine, and thats why its so hard to pull.

there is almost no way to pull it after it goes so far and i dont want to keep pulling so hard on it, and break something.

can anyone help/know or heard of this problem before?

have i ruined the seals inside and just need to replace them or is there something more sinister going on here...

thanks for any assistance

i think this may be part of the problem,

i believe i poured the wrong kind of oil in the mix part of the gas/mix storage.

instead of putting 2stroke mix, i think i put actual engine oil.

could this cause the motor to seize? or is there anyway to fix what i've done

Bump,

anyone who has any kind of info, Please Help!

if you really think the seals are gone or possibly almost seized just pull the head and see what kinda surprise you get

[masterblaster]

i have no clue how to do that,

the first atv i ever owned was in nov, 2009.
i was hit by an appointed constable in march 2010

does pulling the head involve taking it almost all the way apart?

[mechanike]

did you run it that way?+did you see smoke coming out the exhaust when it was running? pull the plug and see if it is still hard to pull.if it is locking up still than Ouch!!! if not, get back to me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[masterblaster]

ok SO.. i pulled the plug and Whattya know. SO MUCH EASIER TO PULL.

Thank You!

but what do i need to do now ?

[mechanike]

first once again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,did you run the engine with no visual smoke coming out of the exhaust???????? what made you think it was locked?

[masterblaster]

just the fact that it was so hard to pull, made me think the engine might be seized up,

the last time i ran it, there was no white smoke coming out.

it's very hard to pull with the plug in, but easy with it out.
it wont start at all with the current plug in it, and i cant afford to get a new one right now.

but there was NO white smoke last time i ran it.

it would just bogg down and wouldnt start back.

im unable to start it right now.

you need to get a compression gauge.if you know there is good gas getting to it + still has spark,just kept dying while riding it.no visable lube.might have piston/ring/cyl/damage.should have at least 110 to run any good at all.any less and it would be a temperamental s.o.b.

a spark plug for that thing should only be about $3. i would be using a new plug to try to get this thing running. also, it should have and e-start regardless of the year. the VIN should be stamped on the frame, possibly in the front left wheel well. If you find it, let me know, i can run it and get you a year.
