We are the service manual.

10w30 oil will work also. Suggest looking for either a 4stroke motorcycle/ATV oil or make sure it does not say "energy conserving" on it.

Diesel oil does not. Alot of us run the shell rotellaT 15w40. Cheap and easily found a walmart. You will need just over a quart.

It's pretty rare to find a 10W30 that does not say "energy conserving". Break-in oil is probably suitable, but it's expensive. I agree with Kato on using 15W40 diesel oil; cheap and easy to find.

I don't think you're going to find a specific manual. Do you have a question? We can likely guide you.

Can i get the oil at autozone? 15w 40? I dont care if its expensive if its good ill buy it, how many inch pounds is the waterpump? and It leaks antifreeze a little but i need to fix that, and can i use 15w40 or 10w30 which is best?

Yes, you can buy 15W/40 motor oil at AutoZone. :) I always wait for a sale, then I stock up on gallon jugs of 15W/40 motor oil. ;)

Spud :)

migue1760 02-18-2013 02:30 PM

15w40 then can i use it in like 80-90° degree temperature outside?

Yes, you certainly can. :) I use 15W/40 motor oil in my air cooled, motorcycle engines during the heat of summer; I have never had a problem. ;)

Spud :)

migue1760 02-18-2013 02:43 PM

Mine is water cooled but does that make a difference? Also in summer over here is like 108° is there a website i could buy parts from not ebay?

Weldangrind 02-18-2013 10:45 PM

Being water cooled does not impact the oil choice. Yes, you can use 15W40 all year, but it wouldn't hurt to switch to 20W50 in the extreme heat.

I found this with a quick Google search: http://www.motopartsmax.com/index.ph...engine/paID/49

I don't have a clue how many inch-pound the water pump bolts should be. I'd take the cover off, clean it thoroughly, apply new sealant and hand-tighten the bolts.

Alright thanks :D so my quad's engine is a 200cc Zongshen?, so i dont need to put a new gasket on the water pump just silicone? And tighten using common sense?

Weldangrind 02-19-2013 12:42 AM

If it is a gasket from the factory, then a new gasket is the best bet. If you don't want to wait, try RTV silicone (like Permatex black). If it leaks, buy a gasket.

I don't know if your engine is a Zongshen. It will be up to you to match the website photos to your existing parts.

migue1760 02-19-2013 12:50 AM

Ok :D ill try the silicone, well all of the engines look alike were can i find the engines model?

Weldangrind 02-19-2013 10:14 AM

There will likely be a number stamped next to the shifter. Very small and hard to read.

migue1760 02-19-2013 10:33 PM

Im going to check, also next to the cylinder there is a number?
