Welcome to the forums. I would invest in a good service manual. It will have the specs for testing everything.

just got 98 fourtrax250. smoking so bad theres no bugs left in neighborhood. case shows no signs of oil leak has good power but oil all over exhause. do i need rings or what?
Welcome to da forums...:icon_ devil:Degrease/oil the exhaust inside,and out using a good degreaser,and heavy soap first,then run it to see if you're still getting smoke..You may need to do a compression check,and a leak down test to ascertain if it needs new rings,valve stem seals,or a complete top end job..Also,check your oil level,and make certain it isn't empty,or overfilled...:icon_gd:

Check out the Honda ATV Schematics section of the Forum - you can download a service manual (for a '85 I think), at the end is a Troubleshooting guide for your problem
