98 blaster wont start

[98 Blaster Guy]

i have a 98 blaster this quad is new to me rode it fine for a few hours then it just quit i checked to see if it was getting gas and oil and it was i think the plug might be fouled any other sudgestion also it is leaking crank case oil heavyly from behind the front sprocket is it just a seel? is it hard to change?:-/

There is a shift rod seal there. Make sure there is no damage to the case. Sometimes the cases gets damaged from the chain flying off. I would fix the leak before worrying about it not starting.

Clean area good BEFORE removing seal. wrap shaft with masking tape to avoid damage to seal. Pack inside of seal with grease.

There are a number of reasons a spark plug will foul.

Granny riding for a long period.

Excess oil in the mix.

Wrong 2 stroke oil, the oil needs to be for an air cooled motorcycle.

Jetting too rich.

Crank seals leaking allowing tranny oil into the crancase.

Poor electricals.

I run Maxima oil. Is that made for air cooled bikes?
